Can I make a brown person?

Asian american in this country that feel like they’re not being represented in the media they pay for do give a shit. As do black people, gay people, women and etc. There are so few characters that are not white, that replacing one with a white person is...troublesome. This is an American problem. People in Japan have…

Hollywood’s go-to is always that they pick the actors that will sell more tickets. But there was a time when a black person would fall into the category of “being too big of a risk to the bottom line”. But it’s only because studios took risks on black actors that we have guys like Will Smith and The Rock. Until…

Being offended on behalf of other people is called empathy.

The people they oppress are the Middle Eastern and Asian analogs.

Japan has no reason to complain because literally every movie they create has an all to mostly Japanese cast. It’s people in America who recognize that there is a shortage of non-white stars in our media.

This book is really making me uncomfortable in that “My best friend and his wife are fighting at dinner” sort of way.

I could totally see them using the financial and critical failure of that movie as an excuse to do Depp Kato.

Huh? Oh no, but you’re not the first person to make that mistake. She and I look so much alike.

I literally don’t care if Green Hornet is a walrus in a mask. I only care about Kato.

That’s like saying flying isn’t integral to Superman because he didn’t do it until the Max Fliescher cartoons.

And if I’d actually brought up a specific reason for the casting, this response would be valid.

I simply stated the fact that they found a reason to recast a non white person as a white woman. And considering Kato’s direct country of origin is constantly in flux (Sometimes China, sometimes Singapore, sometimes Japan),…

Most of those “asshats” are usually right. It’s not their fault that American cinema has painted the modern filmmaker into a corner. You don’t want to pigeon hole an asian actor into the magical martial artist role. But Hollywood’s reluctance to even try to make good asian characters for fear of criticism is simply…

Just make him like Falcon in the MCU. A bad ass co star with most of the best lines that happens to not be a white man. Preferably an asian man because we have so few of those in superhero movies. And as for the “stereotype” of him being a martial artist? Every hero in the MCU is a martial artist of some kind. Are we…

Same difference.

If Kato isn’t a bad ass Asian man or woman this movie can go fuck itself.

From what I understand random nudity is a thing in real life San Fransisco.

Look man. People only care about Kato. But in the current cinematic climate Kato will probably be played by a white woman or Johnny Depp...

I riiiight right right. Thanks.

I wish Elizabeth Torque were doing the art...
