>Hirano, like most Japanese fans, had no issue with Scarlett Johansson's casting in the pic. >"She was very cool. I loved her in The Avengers, and I wanted to see this because she was in it," said Hirano. "If they had done a Japanese live-action version, they would have probably cast some silly idol [girl-band member]." >"I heard people in the U.S. wanted an Asian actress to play her," he said. "Would that be OK if she was Asian or Asian-American? Honestly, that would be worse, someone from another Asian country pretending to be Japanese. Better just to make the character white."
Landon Reed
I want to see _________ the movie not the writers or directors interpretation of the source content not how the actress would feel the character would act i want to see god damn ___ the movie, the thing i like in 90 minutes with some god damn satisfying scenes. i only like pleb fighting, DOA was good, mortal kombat was good. liu kang was some kind of asian, johnny cage and sonya were white, shang tsung was some kinda asian, kano was so good at being kano that the mortal kombat canon changed him to australian
Hudson Baker
No, Asian-American and Asian-Australian SJWs too
Christian Ward
reminder that the movie is terrible and the whitewashing controversy was manufactured for cheap marketing.

Based nips.
Parker Torres
Yeah but it was pretty effective, I can't stop clicking on these threads
Ayden Carter
is this the death of ginned up controversy kino?
Ian Peterson
To be fair, the alt-right or whatever don't give a shit about white people playing asians. It's always the left crying impotently and loudly
Brandon Foster
Same.
Jayden Cook
They probably cant get over on how Asians loved to be portrayed by white people.
Kayden Myers
Japanese people hate their own anime. They are polite when asked in public; They aren't going to trash Scarjo.
Carson Green
I'm almost convinced that this tumblr tier controversy was manufactured by the studio and it back fired on them
Bentley Martin

Holy racism, Nipponjin!
Julian Hernandez
Someone post the original spider tank scene

>Caring about the representation the representation of your race makes you an SJW Seriously shut the fuck up with this SJW meme.
Joseph Rogers
White washing was never that big an issue for most of us on here.
The problem was hamfistedly making white washing part of the fucking plot.
Jose Harris
My problem with casting Scarjo is she's a shit actress past her prime. Plus she chopped her boobs off.
Blake Bennett
>shitty remake of sci fi cartoon >representation of your race
Fine. I personally don't give a shit, but if thats the line we're taking, can we stop calling people racist when they complain about white characters being portrayed by people of other races?
All I want is some consistency. I don't give a shit if Scarlett Johansson plays major, or if Michael B. Jordan plays the Human Torch.
If "caring about the representation of your race" isn't an SJW meme, double think certainly is. Because the vast majority of people in the media who whine about whitewashing will just as soon turn around and call the exact same thing "progress :^)"
Aiden Morris
Whitewashing is just the quick liberal excuse to cover up they made a generic stronk woman out for revenge movie and stole GotS iconic scenes with none of the philosophy
Isaac Hall
>Reminder that the only people who cared about whitewashing in Ghost in the Shell are white people and weeaboos. AKA, the potential target audience for this movie. Good job Paramount.
Ryder Young
They are still butthurt about Memoirs of a Geisha?
Jose Miller
Japs have long lost the ability to distinguish good from bad when it comes to live action movies.
Logan Cruz
>clickbait journalism will fairly represent both detractors and supporters of the movie Kek. Never seen this happen. It's always cherry picked bs that supports the "publications" viewpoints. Pathetic. 0/10 b8 op.
Nolan Long
>The problem was hamfistedly making white washing part of the fucking plot. Go back to double toasted!
Ethan Fisher
>whitewashing >the character is literally a white woman in the anime
did you know that japs purpousely make their cartoon characters look white, because they think whites are more beatiful than them? why do you think they all get double eyelid surgery and shit.
Blake Morris
>says someone that hasn't seen it
William Diaz
>not inlcuding foreign kill yourself
Lincoln Gomez
It's always white people inflating things, self hating whites pushing for black power and neo-nazi whites pushing for some stupid shit.
Always whites, they always need something to hate.
Kevin Bennett
>Always whites
and jews too
Liam Wright
>Whites are evil and are solely at fault for everything in the world
Gosh why don't we just solve all the world's problems by killing them all right now?
Gavin Perry
>neo-nazi whites pushing for some stupid shit You couldn't have thought of something here? Do you even know what you're talking about?
Julian Morgan
>Guys our terrible rippoff of a popular franchise flopped, what do we do?! >Just blame it on racism they'll never notice
GitS was 100% guaranteed to flop the exact moment they released that fucking terrible dubstep remix of the main theme.
Adam Bailey
unfortunately the bigger problem is that the movie is a dumbed down piece of dogshit. it's like the director / crew thought 'well, this is based on a cartoon, cartoons are for children so this movie is gonna be for children'. sad!
Mason Gray
It's based on all the cartoons.
Ryder Phillips
>he thinks foreign bo takings mean the studio gets exactly that much money back
Noah Thompson
I legit don't understand the hate this movie gets. Sure it wasn't a 1:1 adaptation of the animated movie. So what? It still was not garbage tier. I'd argue it was completely fine except for that very, very last monologue. ScarJo was fine, she had to play a fucking robot, and she did it. Batou, Aramaki, even Kuze were all really good. Dr. Oulet was a bit weak, but still okay. The cinematography was gorgeous. And I say this as someone who has watched every GITS movie and series that came before.
Grayson Rodriguez
probably
Carson Roberts
but the original Ghost movies were aimed at children like most animes.
Jason Sanchez
Judging by the box office nobody cared about this flick at all
Juan Long
The Japanese regularly have their own people dress up as "whites" in films with wigs and blue contact lenses. This is normal for countries not severely infected by cultural marxism and undergoing genocide like white countries.
Ayden Gray
why would you possibly want to watch this trash when the anime is superior in every way?
James Robinson
>Japan a mostly homogeneous country has limited understanding of the repercussions of media representation and white washing
white nationalists are retarded
Ryder Rodriguez
>your brain on leftism
Lincoln Perry
>muh whitey
Kek never ceases to amuse me
Christopher Reyes
You basically prove their point user........
Owen Perry
but scarjo isn't white?
Jace Adams
Jews are white when it's convenient, but "it's all due to muh Jewish upbringing" whenever their success is brought up.
