The fact that I'm a sci fi fan doesn't mean I have to have read or watched all of the same things you have. I haven't seen every episode of Star Trek:TNG either. It's great that you consider it a classic. Anime just isn't for everyone.

This makes sense. I’m not much of an anime fan. I have seen a good bit, but it’s never been my nerdy obsession (I have many others, though). Though I did watch a lot of DBZ when I was younger, and I remember always thinking of them as Japanese. Though this may be due to seeing it subtitled before seeing it dubbed to…
And this is a good argument, for sure. The only reason it doesn’t happen, especially in cases where the source material is relatively unknown to mainstream American audiences, is the draw of star power. Scar Jo is widely known internationally from blockbuster movies like the Avengers etc... It’s just a safe bet to…
What’s the name of the movie? That sounds ridiculous, if it ends up being true. Maybe they just haven’t cast the roles of the black women yet? I dunno. That seems like a P.R. nightmare in the making. Surely they can’t be that dumb...
This is exactly how I am about it. My friends went on and on about how amazing and awesome Evangelion was and how they were sure I was going to love it. I made it through like 2 episodes and wondered what I had done to them. Clearly they were trying to get revenge on me for something by tricking me into watching that…
I can’t disagree with this. +1
No, I don’t realize that, Kaz. I realize that this is very important material for YOU. Mainstream Sci Fi fans don’t necessarily all watch anime. Get over yourself.
Read the article. It was only considered for one background character. It was never intended for Scar Jo.
That doesn’t answer the question. Sci Fi fan does not imply anime fan.
This is my reply to another post making a similar point:
People have tried explaining this. The Gawker crowd doesn’t care. The outrage machine has been spun up, and it will not be reasoned with.
That’s a fucking great movie, though.
Except in this case they’re hiring Scar Jo to play a fucking cyborg whose Japanese ethnicity hardly matters because she’s a fucking CYBORG.
So, in your opinion, that is a problem. In their opinion, they want to make as much money as possible, regardless of your opinion that it’s bad to do so.
If a movie is being made solely to make money, it might as well not get made at all
Why do you think movies are made at all? If there wasn’t money in it, it wouldn’t be a business.
Man, that movie creeped me out as a kid. I love it.
If it’s good enough for the Boss, it’s good enough for me.
...and he’s screaming about how starts screaming about Lois Lane being the key and not to trust somebody...
