Or her own individual need to work. Very, very few actors have the luxury of turning down a good job.

But honestly: Fuck it, fuck him, fuck the whole fucking thing. We’re out.

A lot of calls for diversity have the implied demand that an actor should willingly turn down a job. It’s really unfair to expect this one woman to give back a nice paycheck on behalf of her whole ethnic group without consideration for her own individual feelings.

I hope so. I’d love to see Tom Wilson in a movie again.

Yes, that well known stereotype of East Asian women being turned into snakes to serve dark wizards....

Has anyone stopped to think, maybe she had the best audition and actually earned the role through talent?

So Rowling was correct that Naga are part of Indonesian culture, but just not that the word/myth originates there? Seems like a pretty pointless “well actually” to me. I mean, sure, educate people on the mythology. Education is great. But it doesn’t really contradict her point that casting an Asian woman in the role…

So is the problem with casting an Asian for this role or because there weren’t enough Asians cast in the Harry Potter franchise in general?

Seriously, it’s a YA Fantasy. They could’ve just as easily went with a black or Jewish actor. Who gives a shit?

No. They aren’t pissed because a woman was cast as a white man’s pet. They aren’t pissed because stupid White Man cast the wrong kind of Asian. They are upset because being upset is just how they spend their time. Outrage is the hobby of the bored and privileged.

No. Did you see that last tweet embedded in the article? Apparently casting Asians to play snakes is “whitewashing” now.

Casting Scarlett Johansson for the lead in GitS when just about everything else is visually and culturally true to the source material is a valid argument for questioning the ethnic morality of that choice.

You guessed it....Frank Stallone.

So is there any casting decision that wouldn’t piss these people off?

OH MY GOD, THAT’S CAPTAIN MARVEL’S MUSIC!!

I’m glad the arbiter of all truth and knowledge is here. You sound fun.

I really don’t give a damn about Oscars. Especially for a role that is essentially Starbuck with superpowers. Plus, I have only liked Larson in Scott Pilgrim and Kong: Skull Island.

Yeah, I’m not buying Brie Larson so much in the role from that teaser. I hope the trailers sell me more. She’s very soft spoken compared to how Carol Danvers talks.
(Still wishing we got Katee Sackhoff)

Because you have to be an illiterate poser to make a typo? He left out a space, it’s not exactly indicative of idiocy.
