Why are weebs and sjw's complaining about "white washing" and giving shit reviews when the Major wasn't Japanese to begin with? Scarlett is CUTE in the film and the haters can fuck off.

The visuals were so good but the movie itself was so fucking bad
I am on board with her and Batou being white, but scarjo is shitty and the adaption was a mish mash of the source material. I want good adaptations.
Yeah, but it's still decent for anime.
...
well she had a Japanese name and anime has frequently depicted japanese characters as looking white
but either way she was a cyborg so who cares. it wouldnt've mattered if the movie was any good.
2bh Antje Traue should've gotten the part
No issue with them casting whites, but the fact they were relying on a 'big name' to sell this was a warning sign from the get-go.
It was basically 'we're not confident this will be good, but if we stick a big enough name in the trailer, hopefully people will see it.'
Same goes for the fact they kept trotting her out for the publicity in a way that suggested the fact she was in it was the biggest selling point.
SCARLETT JOHANSSON *in ghost in the shell* plz watch our film
Based Ron would have been a better Batou the one they got is kinda shit
Go away shill. Nobody on this board uses whitewashing as a reason for why the movie was bad. Just because Vox told you that's the only reason people hate your soulless, boring, sloppy movie devoid of any substance doesn't mean it's true. Kindly fuck off.
Johansson is actually a pretty great actress but the script was so shit that there was no way this movie could be saved.
I don't care about her race being wrong or right
but they shouldn't have removed the nipples
Weebs are the degenerates of western culture, and wish they lived in their fantasy Asian world. Actual asians who make anime clearly make their characters to be white, so they enjoy western adaptations of their work. I mean it's not even an argument, you can tell what race an anime character is by looking at them, you can tell when a character is Asian.
No real fan of the source material will tell you Motoko looks Asian, specially when Asian women appear in the source material and don't share Motoko's features. Those who complain are SJW and pretenders.
Based on op pic I'd say they picked scarlet simply because she looks like the character.
>The visuals were so good
It looked like a direct to DVD movie made in Syfy or The Asylum, I was laughing at the river scene and the tank scene so hard, srly
the fish lips and the kike schnotz ruin it
the CUTEST!
>The tank scene
Thing looks like a fucking modem how could anyone take it seriously
...
>Why are weebs ... complaining about "white washing
they aren't
>Why are ... sjw's complaining about "white washing
they're always crying about absolutely everything
Weebs don't give two shits about scarjo.
They fucked up the story hard.
Female robocop has pms and runs away to meet her aborted brother and then fight the big bad corporation who made her by kidnapping a lulz so random teen rebel
you know what is sad (or fortunate)
if this was successful they would adapt more japanese comics animations
I wouldn't say bad but certainly not too engaging or memorable. I blame test audiences though who crave an action beat every 7 pages of a script.
No one had performances that stood too much but I still really enjoyed all the of supporting cast.
I doubt the general public of normal humans today don't care or even know what a modem is especially some expensive one like that.
Leave the live action adaptations to Japan. At least they get it right 10% of the time.
plz normies worship the box the WIFI comes from
I was pissed because Scarlett Johansson can't act.
>people don't understand what an Americanization or English adaptation of a foreign project is anymore
The script was shitty and overexplained everything, though. ScarJo wasn't much for actings, the director and script share some of the blame but she was a meh Major with the three combined.
Today I saw she has an all chick raunchy comedy coming out next. For fucks sake, she isn't funny but she has more emotional range in that 2 min trailer than the entire GitS movie.
Fuck off, Batou in the film was great. You're the only one who thinks Ron would be good for this role, you're not fooling anyone.
>she has more emotional range in that 2 min trailer than the entire GitS movie.
maybe because she was playing a robot? jfc
she wasn't exactly a laugh riot in the original anime
I agree, Scar-Jo's face is perfect for Motoko. But the body not. I enjoy her body, but not so much anymore as many years back. She's got the mom-body now. It's all saggy and mushy. The gravity is pulling it all down. And she's not in the great shape either. I mean, I don't think she ever was the athletic type. All the fight scenes were so fucking slow only because of her. I've noticed, that her 'victims' wear often waiting for her to punch them. Great face, not accurate body.
Anyways, that white washing is bullshit. Motoko is white. Stop appropriating my culture!
I mean, thats what it was in the anime..
>"whitewashing" an anime
pretty sure they do that themselves
plz don't bother even trying to contest me
This has been discussed before. Many Japanese visual artist believe they are making characters that are and look Japanese. Though, people continue and say that they are "white". Also, what even constitutes being Japanese? What constitutes being "white"?
>this thread again
>river scene
This scene? The CGI looked great.. What movie were you watching? Sure the spider tank looked clearly CGI but it was fine, especially when compared to most of the CGI shit you get in movies these days.
I can't get over how stupid that suit looks in real life.
>kike schnotz
How much smaller do you want someone nose to be.. Her nose isn't even large at all, and not even close to Jewish big.
I have no problem with major being white. But Scarlets Johannesburg is a terrible actor. They also dropped the aspect that Majors body was mass produced but outfitted with military tech. So that fucked hard with the character. The naked cg looked like trash. Worse than the new beast in Beauty and the Beast. Plus it was literally whitewashing. They abducted Japanese teens and turned them white with white names. Pretty retarded.
What about yellow washing?
HOLY SHIT HER BODY IS FUCKING CGI!!! NOW I CAN SEE IT! IT FOOLED ME!
FUCK WE ARE DOOMED, UNCANNY VALLEY HAS BEEN CROSSED!
because sjw hate white people and weebs love nips
Looks like what a invisible skin suit would look like to me famalam.
>you will never rub this tummy
Holy shit, did the makeup department accidentally cut half of her hair off? Did nobody notice? LMAO JUST
Seeing this fucking iconic scene butchered to death pisses me off so fucking much.
>ScarJo
>cutting or styling her hair for a role
Nigger, she has gone through more wigs than you could ever imagine.
Who else thinks Scarjo looks like 2B in this movie.
that hairstyle did look pretty cute on her
I've been a massive GitS fan for a long time now, I've enjoyed the first 3 movies (fucking LOVED Innocence), SAC and 2nd GIG. I've seen each of those movies and episodes AT LEAST twice, each. I have the soundtrack from all of them and enjoy listening to it regularly. I thought Arise was dissapointing, but still decent cinema. Better than most other anime/cartoons/live action out there.
I want to know- what is ScarJo's prosthetic level? The Major has been a full cyborg since a very young age, with her only "natural parts" being her brain and maybe part of spinal column, and even those are modified.
Scarjo doesn't look like a military-grade cyborg working in black-ops and spycraft, disconnected from humanity and terrifying to her enemies. She looks like an overpaid "CUTE!" whore who's coasted through life by her looks alone.
Can you imagine Scarjo pretending to be a Yakuza boss to terrify the (literal) piss out of a college shithead that was trying to sell black-market organs? Going berserk on an armed suit that wrecked her body beyond repair with an anti-tank rifle, ignoring the pilots pleas for mercy, "Let me out! I can't breathe!" in an uncharacteristic fit of rage? Holding a tether to an attack heliocopter in place, not budging an inch as it locks its enourmous cannon on her, trusting in her squad's sniper's ability to blast it before it shreds her to pieces?
Yeah, neither can I.
The "OMG SCARJO IS WHITE!!!" "controversy" was manufactured by the advertising jews to promote the movie, and create the illusion that any critisism is coming from super-sensitve SJW's unfamiliar with the original. OP is shilling using this very tactic.
What's the point of a "live action" flick when literally every scene and shot NEEDS CGI to even attempt to stay true to the source material? It looks like "Who Framed Roger Rabbit", but without the self-awareness.
>Yeah it's cancer, but it's still decent for cancer
The anime movie version doesn't have a lot of rain because she has flaws. She pushes away some of her humanity, questioning emotions at times as if they're just programming leftover from her previous body. A program, but not real. The Major is also a stubborn bitch who wants to do the mission solo rather than risk bringing in the team. The reason why she tries to tell Batou to stay away despite Batou saving her in the end from complete annihilation. Most of her emotion shown is stubbornness and anger in the anime film.
>mfw that actually looks really breathable and comfy
when will skin suits become socially acceptable, fám
Did they literally reshoot the anime scene for scene?
I didn't like the actor who played kuze. too much of a pansy. needed someone cooler looking.
>The visuals were so good
if you are into capeshit tv.
but there are clear differences between white and asian in many anime. I thought they just drew what they thought looked good until i saw a slanty eyed yellow skinned gook in the background, they know they draw whites and they still do it.
...
>he doesn't think inverted noses are the superior nose race
stop shilling this fucking garbage
Her hair was pulled back while she's setting up.
You would know that if you've ever met a girl.
?
>OP is shilling using this very tactic.
well it failed they should never hire this marketeer company never again.
Non-Asians were a mistake.
...
>The "OMG SCARJO IS WHITE!!!" "controversy" was manufactured by the advertising jews to promote the movie
You seemed like a sensible person up until this vomitted out diatribe.
The white washing controversy was in no way a marketing ploy to effect ticket sales in a positive way. If you genuinely think that, then you're a tinfoil hat fucking moron. The "controversy" came from leftbook websites that conformed to the new age tumblr mentality that's sprung up in pretty much all forms of media. Paramount, themselves, admitted the controversy hit ticket sales.
Combined with the fact that the movie is actually genuinely terrible, it bombed.
jewwashing shall end
>The anime looks like Scarjew
Lol get some glasses faggot.

Ron Motherfucking Perlman is too based to be involved in an insulting, cash-grabbing, normie-pandering, pg-13, focus-tested product such as this.
Conversation probably went something like this:
>Jew: Heya Ron, want to be in this new movie?
>Ron: Is the violence visceral? Does it actually feel violent and intense? Does it get bloody? Is it simultaneously exciting and horrifying? Is the plot kino? Does it have its own identity, or is it imitating something far better?
>Jews: Well, we're trying to copy an "annie-may" but removing anything interesting or controversial, all scenes are mostly CGI and it's PG-
>Ron: *Puffs on cigar* Zyklon B is too merciful for you bitches *Blows smoke in jew faces*
inb4 "b-but Pacific Rim!" That kino was honest and had no claim or intent to be anything but "GIANT ROBOTS PUNCH KAIJU".
>but there are clear differences between white and asian in many anime.
No there isn't.
> I thought they just drew what they thought looked good until i saw a slanty eyed yellow skinned gook in the background, they know they draw whites and they still do it.
Post an example of what you mean then, because you're sure as fuck not talking about GitS.
The Major looks exactly the same as women who are Japanese in any version of the story.
Unless now you want to claim they all look white because they don't match your racist idea of an East Asian.
Thank you for making this, that other version with the down syndrome japanese girl was pathetic
Certain scenes are shot for shot, while the rest is heavily inspired.
Wheres this pic from? Stunt double?
This perfection right here though.
While I agree that most anime characters are not being drawn as white, the 1995 Ghost in the Shell film and its sequel do not have a typical anime artstyle. In those movies, which this shitty flick seems to draw most heavily from visually, you can distinguish which characters are supposed to be Asian (see Aramaki, Togusa, creepy doll things in Innocence). While Motoko's race may be more ambiguous in other adaptations and the original anime, she's very clearly white in the 1995 film.
I was gonna go see this tonight... is it really that bad, and should i save myself the money?
Meant to say "original manga"
so it's like a bunch of lines n shit. got it.
They recreate several key scenes from the anime but in different order with different context ( is the final shot of the movie, for instance. I'd apologize for spoilers but I doubt anyone actually gives a shit in this case).
>hmm, he look more lik animu currtur, dat make him betta fo da role!
I just watched the episode of Stand Alone Complex when they visit London and talk to lots of actually white people.
That's how it works you retarded nigger.
wait how did those letters appear in the bag?
she looks like the Japs in
in the 1995 film
The acting was terrible in the live action Japanese films. ALL Japanese live action remakes are terrible. But I heard Rurouni Kenshin was good.
Both are cherrypicking thus invalid
\
>People in anime are white because I say so. Why did this white washed piece of shit bomb like Great Wall?
it bombed because it looks like shit
let me guess you also thought ghostbusters bombed because people was sexist and not because the movie looked like uttercrap
kill yourself honestly, you're cancer
the original maker of GITS already said the major isn't necessarily asian on account of being a cyborg, so everyone complaining are just racists who need to frig off
La kenshin is pure kino kurosawa himself would rise from the grave to give that film a handy j, also wath the trust and betrayal movies
>frig off
And you're saying Motoko looks "white" because of that?
Take a guess what the race of these two characters are. I'll wait.
Not, not really, unless you think all Japanese school girls are fat and derp looking.
Scarjo is so unbelieveable cute with that haircut. I cannot contain my jimboes.
And I'm sure the "OMG I WONT SEE GHOSTBUSTERS 2016 ONLY BECAUSE OF WOMEN!" thing was completely legitimate?
It's the exact same tactic, just done to appeal to "muh white genocide!" instead of "muh soggy knee!"
Still, considering how fucking stupid tumblrites are, I'm sure there's a good chance the complaints were at least initiated by them. But if that's the case, the marketing jews happily capitalized on the "controversy" to "explain their side of the story."
Free, high-profile interviews to "inform audiences everywhere" that "this isn't whitewashing, look at the original anime, we're being true to the anime, but this will be better then the anime because it's live action and has SCARLET JOHANNSON who's the best actor ever and she plays a strong female protagonist who's actually a feminist icon and a role model for girls and womyn everywhere because we're actually very progressive and we had a team of 1000 scientists help us design the sets and effects based on time-travelling to the future"
>It bombed
God, I hope it did, but you know what shit taste normies have. "Wow a female protagonist, this must be social commentary on the oppressed strength on womyn"; "It has actual human faces in it so I can relate to the characters, unlike in some shitty cartoon!" "It has one of the most famous actresses alive in it! It MUST be good!" "I heard the CGI will be even better than in 'The Force Awakens!'" etc.
Remember that this is the general audience that has unconditional love for modern Adam Sandler, Game of Plebs, and Big ShillTheory
Also, to all you faggots squealing "SCARGO IS CUTE! CUUUUTE!", Motoko is not, and has never been "cute". She's been intense, scary, detatched, and occasionally /ss/ MOMMY. But never "AM I KAWAII?? UGGUUU~" or "cute"
>Hey uh... when you become a cyborg... can you have sex?
>(MOMMY intensifies) "You care to find out?"
>... Another time.
FUCK YOU KID YOU LITTLE SHIT CHOP YOUR DICK OFF YOU DONT DESERVE IT
spotted the gay
Shirow has said jack shit
Oshii is only shilling for Paramount on the count of all the attractive female characters in GitS look like Major It's like...people assume all of the Japanese characters in the manga are yellow and are slant eyed. They're not.
That movie was a pile of dogshit
The new one looks better by a mile, and Dafoe will be great
I have faith in the guy playing Light because the end shot of the trailer was a proper reaction to meeting a Shinigami
