>But there’s one area in which “Kubo and the Two Strings” has raised eyebrows: its casting. Irish actor Art Parkinson, best known for playing Rickon Stark on “Game of Thrones,” plays the title character, a young boy on a journey to find magical armor once worn by his father. Charlize Theron and Matthew McConaughey play a fierce monkey and a dimwitted beetle-shaped warrior who aid him in his quest, while Ralph Fiennes and Rooney Mara are among his chief foes.
>But the film is set in ancient Japan and none of those actors are Asian. So at a time when Hollywood is often criticized for using Caucasian actors in roles that were originally written as Asian, are director Travis Knight and Laika being insensitive?
>Constance Wu isn't here for your excuses, equivocations, or apologies for Matt Damon's upcoming film, The Great Wall, in which he stars as a heroic dragon-slayer defending the Great Wall in ancient China. (No, really.) "We have to stop perpetuating the racist myth that [only a] white man can save the world," Wu writes in screenshot of her Twitter drafts. "Our heroes don't look like Matt Damon. They look like Malala. Ghandi. Mandela. Your big sister when she stood up for you to those bullies that one time."
Jesus fucking christ kill me. I can almost understand the whining with that chink wall movie and Matt Damon, but these tumblr parasites want VOICES to be from niggers and chinks.
Fuck this. We need a race war.
Isaiah Adams
Black people playing white parts is fine. White voice actors are racist. A white hero in a clearly non historical popcorn movie is racist
Lucas Jenkins
Just saw that movie. It's a good movie. Fuck these assholes for trying to come up with something to shit on the only decent animated movie to come out in the last year.

>complain about white people voicing Japanese characters >having Vietnamese Flips from Hong Kong would have been deemed acceptable
Alexander Wilson
>Our heroes don't look like Matt Damon. They look like Malala. Ghandi. Mandela. Those aren't Chinese. Or is the dumb cunt implying that only non-whites can be heroes? Also: >Malala Hardcore conservative muslim, despite her reputation. >Gandhi Hypocrite who refused his wife treatment, which led to her death, but decided to go through with the treatment when he got the same disease. Also said the Jews should have let the nazis kill them. >Mandela Destroyed South Africa through widespread corruption and incompetence. Sat by and watched the genocide of white farmers and caused the overall murder rate to multiply by 10.
Hunter Morales
the real question is when will disney stop making films about nonwhite cultures. this is as accurate a representation of japanese culture as pocahontus is for native american culture
i think there should be a law that if your founder had a stock pile of nazi uniforms and medals that your not allowed to make movies from the perspective of people of non white cultures
Jaxon Sullivan
See, that sounds like you're implying Hitler and the Nazis were wrong.
Now that I think about it, they probably should have cast a black person as the monkey.
Austin Harris
This isn't Disney, it's Laika. They're based as fuck.
They're one of the only studios preserving traditional animation techniques like stop-motion and 2D animation.
Robert Bennett
But i thought race doesnt matter?
Hunter Murphy
At this point, a race war is the only way things will get better.
Julian Scott
>99% of hollywood and movies is white
ask that yourself
Joshua Thompson
>story is asian >voice actors are not
I thought they liked diversity?
Justin Gutierrez
>White wash asian films >Blackout and jewify western films
Landon Roberts
Why don't minorities make their own fucking movies then?
Oh yeah because they have no money and they suck at everything.
Adam Sanchez
> Why don't japanese make their own fucking animation then ? Are you stupid ?
Asians actually make better movies than jews imho.
Matthew Scott
Imagine a chink singing the trailer song. >Rile my guita genre reaps Nobody wants that
Elijah Peterson
I dunno, unless the movie is in Japanese why do you need Japanese voice actors? Does having a Japanese kid who only speaks English really make a difference over a white kid who only speaks English?
Logan Martin
Btw if anyone ever needs to know what to do in a knife fight: grab knife holding arms, stab vital arteries, evade and bring a loaded gun.
Blake Wright
When minority groups sound good.
Nolan Hall
>recast niggers to play white characters in movies like; >kingpin >electro >nick fury >annie >mary jane watson >etc.
>recast non-white males to play white male characters in comics like; >thor >iron man >spider man >captain marvel >captain america >etc.
It's 'progress'.
>cast white voice actors
OH MY GOD IM TRIGGERED
I fucking hate what this country has become. I hate what this planet has become. I don't want to live on it anymore.
Ethan Perez
How fucking retarded. They should be happy its a gook movie.
Thomas Perez
LOL, the movie would turn into a comedy then.
Eli Sullivan
Nice fight scene. That one was burdy gud.
Nathan Moore
nice source
Dominic Carter
>99% of hollywood and movies are jews
I fixed that for you. Jews aren't white. They're light skinned arabs.
Jack Wood
Wait... So Jews really did do 9/11?
Colton Gutierrez
>They look like Malala. Ghandi. Mandela. Except none of those people are East Asian, you stupid bitch.
Leo Nguyen
Maybe the character had lines with R and L.
Leo Morris
i think its a little different if it comes to voice acting, alsong they can do it well
Nicholas Jenkins
Because it'd be annoying listening to a gook accent for a whole movie?
Adrian Wright
Voice actors shouldn't matter, any good one can take on an accent or dialect to fit the character. The Matt Damon thing is completely retarded though, how hard is it to have an Asian actor in an Asian role? I'm guessing the Jews think it won't sell without a big name, white guy lead or maybe they know it'll stir up shit for publicity. If you're against classic films being remade with the only change being the race/gender of the cast, then you can't support this.
Mason Jones
When minorities that speak perfect English start becoming good voice actors
Benjamin Brooks
Do they want stereotypical accents?
Caleb Evans
These are the women you're so desperately trying to save from rapists. Maybe white genocide is needed to separate the wheat from the chaff?
Ryan Miller
In the japanese dub, the VA's will be japanese.
Same with french, german, dutch, swahili and fucking indian.
Thats usually how cartoons work, you choose VA's your geographic location will recognise and understand. The End.
Colton Perry
>Animated characters >Race of the actor playing them mattering at all
I mean it's one thing to bitch about white actors playing Asian characters in actual movies where they'll be present in the flesh, but it's an animation. Who the fuck cares?
Christopher Price
There shouldn't be any whining about The Great Wall.
It's a fantasy film about monsters. If blacks can be in the Hobbit, whites can be in a fantasy Chinese movie.
Also this is the closest we're getting to an Attack On Titan movie
Ian Lee
I want a piece of land for white, conservative people only. Fuck uplifting everyone else. We would do so much better. Leave them in their filth. I guarantee you that the chinks would start to conquer and genocide the shit out of them.
Evan Murphy
agenda:
>superman... replaced by Asian >iron man... black teenager chick mad max, starwars, ghostbusters...and many more.
