she never played a Japanese character ever

It was a bad movie and she brought nothing to it.

I very much suspect this is another Monica Belluci situation, where they spend months patting themselves on the back for such a bold, unconventional casting choice...and then it turns out the character’s only in the movie for five minutes. In particular, I’m very wary that the new 007 is going to completely screw up a…

Honestly, it would have been better if she had said nothing. The general public doesn’t have that great a short term memory. There was no need to bring this up and this attempt at damage control is just making it worse.

“Shit, that didn’t play well.”

Let’s make one thing clear: This was never about Scarlet Johansson’s acting ability.

That new statement reads like she just learned what cisgender means.  

Agreed. Whenever I see her in a film, the impression I get is that she’s always conscious of that fact that she’s way out of her league.  She’s too self conscious and too self aware.

I never could stand her.  Least now I have an actual reason other than “Hot but can’t act for shit.”

Once we’ve gotten to a point where Trans performers can play Cis roles and where performers of color are regularly cast in lead everyman roles with the same or more frequency than their white counterparts, then we can talk about ScarJo getting the parts she wants to play instead of talking about her taking…

She has every right to try. Studios have every right to pay her to try. Audiences have every right to not reward those actions and perhaps cause all involved not to try again.

Why would you want to restrict these actors to only playing their stated sexual preference?

Pop off with the BS about “well actors can play ANYTHING if they’re TALENTED!”

So yet again, an upper class white lady is moaning about having to be considerate of others? Seriously Scarjo, you’re not too far off from demanding to see the manager.

“Scarlett Johansson hasn't learned a damn thing" would have been a better headline tbh. What a piece of shit.

No surprise. She grew up a rich white girl. She has the usual sense of entitlement.

Yeah, because Nintendo has absolutely no previous experience or market research to say that a small, handheld gaming device would sell...

Honestly... suck it the fuck up.
The whole damn engine is rebuilt, every single pokemon has to be remade, reanimated, reprogrammed, balanced, etc. On top of that, the more detailed and complex everything becomes, the more time needs to be dedicated to each and every pokemon.
And doing it for well over 1000 pokemon is…

Because like most gaming fans they are entitled children that cannot respect the creators or understand this is a business.

Jesus Christ, someone just put Bryan Singer out of our collective misery so we can move the fuck on. There’s very few people I advocate violence against, but I have no time for rapists, pedophiles, and Trump. They all deserve a beating and to have their influence taken out of the world.
