Or ask permission. That’s an option too.

Yeah, people act like you can’t try to get a blessing or that they never work, yet Freedom Planet got the Legal Permission of SEGA and the game’s sold like, 500k copies now. The mistake is always waiting to ask forgiveness, instead of asking permission, because legally speaking, the Copyright Holder’s hands are tied…

It’s sad how you try to dance around this. First, I stated that we don’t know if any searches found a woman of said ethnicity who could act well enough. You’re a bit racist for assuming that there’s a magical ability in any ethnicity to do so or not. I don’t care about track records, assumptions, trends, previous…

“I’m going to name a random happenstance where a single individual just happened to do a casting call for a certain thing in the past and just happened to remember a perfect person for a role, but I’m sure it’s totally different in any other situation.”

Uhhhh, yeah, it is.

Believe it or not, but International Casting doesn’t quite work like that, and again, this is all assuming that there was an Indonesian actress out there with the talent to play the role. Casting purely on skin color sounds just about as racist as anything else claimed here.

It appears they are fulfilling the obligation, customers and all.

Please by all means explain how they contradict, instead of trying to use the word to make me seem wrong when nothing there contradicts at all.

A retcon would have required there to be some point in the original works where Nagini was identified as being a pure, natural snake. (This never happens.) In a world where more than just a few characters can turn into animals and those showing human intellect often are humans, pretending that this snake that showed…

1. Yes. Possibly. Show evidence otherwise.

Because the point was that blaming the author for something the film studio did is just plain silly. For all we know, she gave her input and they ignored her, or that they failed to find an actress to fit the part with the requirement first.

1. Possibly. We don’t actually know just how much control she has, so this is a purely assumptive argument.

She didn’t deliver it in a tweet, except to clarify she actually told someone that fact during a book signing.

There’s a few issues with the critiques, the largest being that no one on earth seems to know what the definition of “retroactive continuity” is anymore and therefore every surprise or detail not explained to them like they were idiots the moment it happened is suddenly a retcon.

1. The Author isn’t the casting director. Be glad it was still Asian in general and not recast to a white person.

So the main issue is that she needs to... stop... making things obvious. When your underlying issue is that these details were subtle and hard to make out in the original works?

Its’ more like that this is a game where the single player still seemed like an afterthought and them moving on and focusing on the thing the game was actually made for makes sense.

That’s absolutely not what Ethan was talking about, nor I. He was talking about playing alone and on the go, a situation where online isn’t really a guarantee.

You’ve actually bounced around a whole lot here. So trying to claim I’m not right just because you continually pick up the goal post and pitch it further away is kinda...

I’m not so much as feel the idea that the game’s design should be bent to do or facilitate the exact opposite of the point of the game seems like backwards thinking and cherry picking critique.

They try plenty of new things all the time. You may want to sit back and consider you just said that a company that’s the first to make a hybrid portable and home console who has revamped several of their current series and introduced several new IPs in the last year doesn’t try anything new.
