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

Yeah, the whole point of GiTS is human versus machine anyway.

@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.

@Uksio I understand that

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

That's very much what it is.

I remember as a kid in school we were basically raised to idolize the yuppies and hippies of the 60s liberation movements.

So now the young want to make their liberation movement and are instead punching at phantoms.

YEAH for real like i live in freakin canada as if any of the people there have anything to complain about patriarchy

like my buddy has a freaking social justice CLASS
