okok still as long as it doesnt completely crash in a hindenberg-esque flame of suckery
the actress being white was the dumbest complaint ever tbh
@Revan GitS does not have an overarching plot story between installments. Each season is in their own separate timeline
So the movie fits right in
That's not why I said it falls short
In my opinion, it falls short because it dropped a lot of the deeper meaning from the original
@Tohob Actress could have been black male for all I care - she is AN ANDROID, she can look like anything and anyone
yup
A machine with interchangeable parts duuh
and even assuming she would want to look like a local, it's the future
how much race mixing has gone on since present day
Well, looking like a local would tend to help with blending in
The way movie is set up, her looks are utterly irrelevant too XD
I guess it's still contextual, even then
it's not like a white person would be particularly out of place
Rumor is that in the original manga she takes a body based off a "westerner" anyways.
Not only was it a dumb thing to get hung up on to start with, it may have been accurate to the original source.
not anime but have any of u guys seen Altered Carbon?? i saw it and then readd it got alot of shit from its depiction of violence against women.... like YO ITS A SCI FI DYSTOPIAN SHOW LIKW WHAT DO U EXPECT
👌🏻
Which would have made it go from banal to simply incorrect.
and its not like men dont get fuckin killed in it lol
@Revan I don't want to spoil it, but there is a good reason why she is not asian in the movie. That is kinda the plot point.
People looking for excuses to get angry.
if the movie failed at anything it's emulating the tone of the series, but that's kinda to be expected
lol man professional victims haha
GitS is not even men vs machines. It runs deeper than that
hollywood doesn't really know how to do anything that isn't an action movie
I'm just saying that depending on the situation, it could be more helpful to blend in by looking like a local
Increasingly, Hollywood can't even do that.
And when they do they get criticized for making it.
What it means to be human, what it means to be a living being, and how much are you a living being if you are in a body of a machine
Transhumanism 101
Hollywood needs to be rebuilt, IMO.
my buddy is in Education at the Uni reight beside where i live (extremely left) and the head of the english department calls them Social Slackers LOL and its like 90% social justice warriors
who?
Make Hollywood Great Again!
social justice warriors/professional victims and the like
Makes sense.
Honestly, I just think those are people that have nothing even vaguely controversial and/or adverse in their pampered lives. So they start to just actively seek a cause to rally behind (sorta like larping a revolutionary) or hate something that is permitted to hate - fascists, white males, alleged oppression of someone etc.
It is an outrage machine spawned out of boredom of safe and secure life
