>Watching le generic alien drama with Garth Ennis name-dropping

Why do you even do this?

Are you sure your screen brightness wasn't set too low?

>When will this bullshit end?
When whiteness loses enough hegemonic dominion over Western culture industries that it's seen as something worth preserving for its own sake rather than worth actively subverting.
So probably not within your lifetime, suck it up bitch.

you mean biracial

How come Hollywood's idea of "diversity" means more black people? Why don't we see more latino/asian/middle eastern characters?

Literally who?

Because black people are the only ones protesting loud enough to cause economic damage if their demands aren't met.

sage for, we know where THIS thread is going.

OP here
Not being rascist, just asking the question why they can't stick to the canon of the books that's all.

Cassidy's a Britbong? What the holy fuck is wrong with these people?

An African Tulip actually works (especially with the redneck family conflict), but an English Cassidy is just foolishness.

Tulip. One of the main characters in the comic.

And the Texan is a Limey.

What comic?

Look at it this way. Maybe all the white trash villains they meet will call her a nigger over and over.

>now

Didn't we know this like a year ago?

Concrete: Strange Armor.

The Aristocrats

bitch would be killed as soon as she met Jody

Jody will put off killing if he can use it to cause greater emotional pain.

Mrs. L'Angelle told TC and Jody not to kill her.
Jody will do what Mrs. L'Angelle tells him to do.

I didn't hate this pilot and will watch the next episode.

Will watch as well, the comic book was fuckin great. I just wish HBO would have produced this.

>When will this bullshit end?

Well, I don't think they'll invent a cure for autism in your lifetime, so I suppose it'll end in your death.

It's not gonna last. People don't see this as a comic book show. They see another supernatural show.

QT on the right makes my dick hard.

> HBO produced Preacher
> Like the comic, but with more nudity

Sounds like a cryin' shame of a missed opportunity.

hellboy

I think HBO just doesn't want comic shows at this point. I don't see why else DC wouldn't be using a Warner owned company when appropriate.

is he at least pretending to be potato

they took a hard right from the books a while ago

>friendly reminder Seth rogan is the executive producer of this show.

I read some years ago that HBO bought the rights but it didn't take off because is was brutally graphic.

Doesn't she, though?

I must say that I am a fan.

>Why don't we see more latino/asian/middle eastern characters?
They do, you just don't care.

What about Indian characters? Or Asian?

You realize "executive producer" just means he put money into the project, right?

He's not the showrunner. "Executive producer" doesn't mean anything, it could mean he's there every day working with the writers or it could mean he stopped being involved after the pilot.

Sam Catlin is the showrunner, who seems to be a former Braking Bad writer.

there was that FBI show on ABC that had an Indian lead

It ends when Will Smith's wife says it ends.

There's more black actors and actresses

He wrote co wrote the pilot script so yeah I assume it meant he was there every day working with himself

I'm really happy to you climbed out from under that rock OP. Did you know that a live action Suicide Squad movie is coming out in a few months?

Suicide Squad movie? They didn't make any of the characters fresh did they?

i havnt read preacher fully in awhile but i already like show tulip better. shes also pretty cute.

>It wasn’t a mandate. If we had found a white actor we liked better we would have cast her. It was just a bonus that the best person for the job happened to be Irish-Ethiopian.
ew.com/article/2016/05/18/preacher-amc-seth-rogen-interview

because black people make up a very large population of the United States. not the whole world, but the US and that's what these makers care for most. television shows don't need to appeal to asian markets in the same way as movies do after all. it's why you see a lot of diversity push in tv, and far less so in movies.

anyway stop complaining so much, Ruth Negga is a good actress and that's what matters more.

Glad to see other anons like them some Ruth.

your bitch ass better not have a problem with my Negga

TBBT
Off The Boat
Quantico
The Mindy Project
Straight off the top, I don't even watch those shows.

You don't about other races, being on TV.

Because anyone gave a shit who they cast for this character.

*Indian women

Well no shit. It's easy to get a role as a non-white women. Due to exoticity and fetishisation and crap.

Look at pic related. Director makes a western K-pop show and chugs a fit when asked about inputting Asian guys in his show.
>"Asian guys in MY show?! Not gonna happen"

Again this thread is about sticking to source material. That is all.

>blah blah blah rationalizations about how they're not REALLY progressive

>comedic reliefs and
Ok.

He's still Irish in the show, yes.

>Mindy Project
>literally the lead and title character
>played by the showrunner
>who isn't conventionally attractive
>lol she's just comic relief, they're not REALLY progressive

>ignoring what I'm saying and accusing me of being stubborn

Here's a real Asian actor taking about trying to make a break in the industry without selling yourself: m.youtube.com/watch?feature=youtu.be&t=334&v=y1nGuhR0lKc

I talked about it over here: TBBT and a lot of other shows (like 2 broke girls for one) is what I had in mind.

are you saying Mindy Kaling is fetishizing herself on her own show that she created? Are you some special kind of retarded?

>Asian guys in MY show
I gotta agree with this. Asians regularly get the shaft in Hollywood, especially Asian men. An Asian guy is never a romantic lead or love interest because they aren't considered desirable enough. (which is bullshit if you look at all the fangirls for Kpop/Jpop)

Er, you DO realize that Ruth Negga (who's actually half-potato) and Dominic Cooper (britbong playing Jesse Custer) have been an shacking up for quite a while, so they probably just cast a real-life couple for shits and giggles.

The fact that she's black has caused the spergy neckbeard version of a chimp-out is just more publicity for AMC.

I don't even care about that. I'm just upset that they shit all over her character and changed everything that gave her depth and made her believable/likable. Fuck this show.

OP here
Thank you
But will watch the show just to see how badly they fuck it up

I never said that . I liked the Mindy show and it was a lot of pressure on her so I can't blame her for taking the easy way out , considering she's the first in everything for it.

You're using only one example to try and prove that something that's been occurring for decades doesn't exist.

This.

Whiteness is always worthwhile

what's a comic?

Fight the patriarchy much?

Not now it isn't :^)

So no Preacher airing today?

Weird scheduling

Preacher

Hispanics are a larger portion of the American population than blacks and Asians are richer consumers.

Hollywood is slow to change and neither of those groups have as big a presence in American culture. Give it another couple of decades.

Hasn't Hollywood actually gone backwards?
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sessue_Hayakawa

The show is total garbage so it doesn't even matter.

They probably figure everyone's out vacationing for Memorial Day weekend and don't want to air on a day no one's going to be home to watch stuff

I think it works brilliantly especially when we get to his past/family arc. It's going to make everything that more fucked up.

Because Enoch Powell was right.

careful OP, the mods are SJWs and the walls have ears.

So we shouldn't tell stories where there are characters from foreign countries in them, because this asshole thinks it's racist to do an accent?

except GoT

Then again maybe they will be DVRing that

Which it is.

Shame about her unfortunate last name. Kudos on her for having the balls not to change it.

>very large

One eighth. That is significant. But 'very large' shouldn't start below two-thirds.

"...Negga was born in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, in 1982 to an Irish mother and an Ethiopian father, and lived in the country until she was four. She is an only child, but has a large family on her mother's side. Her father died in a car accident when she was seven. Raised in Limerick, she has lived in London since 2006."

I fookin love this. Does she normally talk with a brogue and say stuff like 'feck' a lot?

Well...

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rivers_of_Blood_speech

>He thinks it's the black people complaining about representation

Paging Mr Odin Quincannon. Will Mr Odin Quincannon please come to the White courtesy phone?

>actress is black
>her name is Ruth Negga
You just can't make this stuff up.

umm... they have pretty similar skin tones

lol right?

She's hardly black, if you say so.

they both look biracial tbqh

They literally got the whitest "black" woman alive, this isn't bad, and Negga isn't a bad actress either.

>I think white people are literally white
Racist shitlord

>suck it up bitch

Why should we? Don't be surprised when we fight back.

lol

I've never seen a blonde, white woman with a skin color like that. I mean, besides Tan Mom.

It's amazing how the slightest thing just tears away the veil and reveals how massively racist people still are.

The fact that she's black/biracial is completely irrelevant in my view.

The fact that she isn't from the East Coast however is pissing me the fuck off. Lots of things about the show are pissing me the fuck off.

Why is John Custer a Preacher? Why isn't Tulip giving Jesse shit about abandoning her? Why isn't Jesse telling Tulip she needs to go on Jody and TC will fucking end her?

>Tom Cruise blowing up

I'ma wait till the first season is finished before I really have an opinion though.

The Witcher

>An African Tulip
The actress is half-Irish

To be honest I couldn't tell she was black while watching though I did have suspicions, the actress has to be the lightest skinned black woman to ever live.
>When white people are no longer the majority of their own countries
Where do you think you are?
Why not complain about the lack of chinese representation in ugandan nollywood films?

>fight back
They're "fighting back" against being oppressed and marginalized.
You're just "fighting back back".
That's why nobody takes you seriously.

Of all the things they changed (that is to say everything) casting an actress who doesn't match with the look of the comic is pretty far down the list of things to complain about
