Nah. First Class killed the character who was described explicitly as unkillable (and who, in the comics, actually was, to a ridiculous degree) simply to fulfill its Murderize the Dog/Black Guy Dies First Eventually quota. And then, the ending.

The fastest growing market in the world is actually probably somewhere in Africa.

I want them to bring back the card/board game that was featured on Playstation Home back when 2 (or was it 3?) came out. If I hadn’t played it myself, I’d be skeptical that it existed, because I can barely find anything about it online.

No, it wasnt, no matter how much you want it to be. First of all, each adaptation is different, there is no single canon version.

And since I’m outside the edit window: I apologize for being abrasive, but generally in these arguments, no one listens unless I’m forthwith and assertive with my points. For the people arguing that whitewashing is okay, they’re arguing from the standpoint of having 90% of the movies be about them, faced with the…

Cant you also concede that its also fairly reasonable that some types of mass produced artificial bodies (of which we can assume there are more than one) could also be caucasian or maybe something hybrid looking in order to accomodate immigrants, non-natives or simply people who dont want to look japanese?

I agree.

Only with blonde hair - yeah you guessed it, it doesnt look asian by any stretch of the imagination.

In the movie, she chose a mass production model that would not stick out, and I’m pretty sure she even sees a clone of herself at one point.

Actually, the exact opposite is stated.

Poe’s Law or Hanlon’s Razor? (Mite B. Both).

It’s explicitly stated that she chose a generic mode which, in East Asia, would probably have stereotypically East Asian features.

I dunno why these aren’t bigger in America. With large lockers for luggage, they’d be perfect for areas that see lots of conventions, where many people don’t spend much time in their rooms anyway.

Ugh. They’ve done a million games based on Norse mythology. Can we have a game where someone other than a white guy gets to be badass? Why not do the next God of War based on Egyptian mythology? West African (Yoruba)? Polynesian? Chinese? Indian (Beat CC2 at their own game)?

You keep saying that like it’s some immutable law of Hollywood. All it would take to change the funding issue is for some exec to say, “We’re going to take a risk because the payoff could be immense, and because it’s the right thing to do for this project.” One decision. That’s it. It’s as much a “fact” as it is a…

I mean... how would you even go about doing something like this? Part of what makes Pokemon possible is how its avoiding realistic depictions allows us to accept a world built, essentially, on legalized dog/cockfighting. Even if you do that, what’s the plot? A tournament? Stopping a Team X plot? What kind of tone are…

MS was Ted Cruz to Sony’s Trump. They didn’t have to win, they just had to make things such a clusterfuck that Sony was denied a monopoly. After that, they could fight it out with the next gen. Or the next. Or the next. Remember, the ultimate goal is to have a hand in whatever comes after the PC as the home appliance…

I can never hate Jon Lovitz. He knocked the shit out of Andy Dick once, to preserve his dead friend’s honor. That hits all kinds of buttons for me, least of all the, “pudgy jokester turns out to be a stone cold thug for his bros,” one. Also, the, “knocking the shit out of Andy Dick,” one.

It needs a deep-voiced Japanese man singing a heartfelt ballad.

There’s no such thing as “taste” in automobiles. People buy the swankiest thing they can afford. Someone who’s driving a new Benz isn’t more sophisticated than a guy driving a busted old Honda; the first guy just has more money.
