Why did they change Jack's skin color from yellow to white while keeping his mother and father's skin colors the same?

This has been bothering me for a while
>>
That's a pretty stupid thing to let bother you.
>>
>>91741754
He've lived so long sun paled his skin. Probably.
>>
>>91741754

He's been spending all his time in his armor and in caves and in giant worms. He's kinda pale at the moment.
>>
>>91741768
I guess you wouldn't be bothered if they put Justin Bieber to play Nelson Mandela in a movie, then?
>>
I assumed he's pale because he's malnourished.
>>
>>91741815
That's not the same thing at all.
>>
>>91741754
Art direction change. Gennedy probably doesn't have a reason.
>>
>>91741754
Isn't his skin still yellowish in flashbacks? I kind of liked that detail. I imagine something like >>91741801 happened.

It doesn't make sense, since in this childhood scene his skin is already paler than his parent's. In episode 1 from season one, his skin was the same color as theirs.
>>
>>91741847
It is an exageration of the same thing.
>>91741859
See >>91741863
>>
>>91741754
he lost his tan after spending so long only traveling at night
>>
>>91741863
NTR
>>
>>91741888
it's not at all

Empress is cute!

Samurai Jack's Mother has always been pretty smokin'. It's a shame we don't have more fanart of her and absolutely no r34, whatsoever.
>>
>>91741815
That wouldn't bother me at all.

If it was a nigger playing Justin Bieber, though, I'd be livid.
>>
I thought this was 4chan, not Tumblr.

It's a shame there is no rule 34 of Kubo (as adult).
>>
>>91741863
It's common for children to be depicted as paler than adults, and for women to be depicted as paler than men.

But the real reason is that Jack's parents were assigned skin colors separately, and the colorists were influenced by the elaborate and unrelatable eastern clothing.

Jack's colorists know he is the protagonist, and absent-mindedly give him the standard shade of skin for non-black, non-indian characters.
>>
>>91741888
Ah yes. An "exaggeration" of the same thing, or a "strawman argument" if you will.
>>
>>91743520
I guess it makes sense for the hero to be white
>>
>yellow skin
>asian
How did they get away with this?
>>
>>91743564
>once I'm done with Aku I'll move onto the Jews
It was a different time anon
>>
maybe because he was constantly indoors or in armor?
>>
>>91743554
Enjoying your second-hand outrage, you pampered suburbanite?

I bet Daddy would be furious if he knew that you held exactly the same political opinions as he does, but in a more confrontational and rebellious way.
>>
>>91743564
Our skin is kinda yellow looking though. I dont want Jack to be whitewashed!
>>
>>91741863
Ok then. He could be adopted. Like Finn the Human was. Or it was genetic issue. He could have some caucasian merchant blood in veins.
>>
>>91741815
No, what you described, is if they had nelson mandela reprise a role, but he looked slightly paler.
>>
>>91743826
>I dont want Jack to be whitewashed!
he can't whitewashed because he is already played by a black guy.
>>
>>91743710
and how is that bad?
>>
>>91744082
depends on your perspective.
The real woke shit only kicks in once you're looking from at least a 5D perspective
>>
>>91743826
>Our skin is kinda yellow
That's the jaundice setting in not your natural skin color.
>>
>>91743317
That's ridiculous.
>>
>>91741754
Thats odd, I thought he looked yellower
>>
Samurai Jack's dad was actually raising his wife's son.
>>
>>91741754
maybe it's because jack is already dead
>>
>>91741754
It fits the artstyle more.

It's scarier and darker. The yellow skin is too fruity and vibrant
>>
Don't be racist, be like Samurai Jack!
He's an Asian
Voiced by a black guy
That looks white
And has European friends
>>
>>91741815
Fuck that would be hilarious. I'd watch that. He has to play it straight though, no wink wink bullshit.
>>
>>91741754
Jack will turn yellow soon, it represents his will as a warrior
