But Jafar isn't a big guy.

Oh boy. A new wave of Baneposting to suffer through

Uh you don't get to bring advisors

>>93118225
Fucking christ.

Can't wait for Russell Crowe to play Shan yu.

>>93118225
I don't care about the race of the actor. If he hams it up like he should as Jafar, I'm happy.

>>93118225
It's okay to whitewash villains. :^)

Don't worry, no charge for them. They were trying to grab your lamp. They work for the vizier. The turbaned man...

>>93118225
He's a bad guy.

Is Tom Hardy even white or is he like some kinda swarthy animal man?

Yeah but Jafar is a gay role so it all balances out.

JAFAR?

It's an obvious choice, but it's obvious for a reason.

They have to bring back Gilbert Gottfried for Iago right?

Tell me more about Jafar, why does he wear the hat?

Well just look at the current leader of the free world.

The sultan refused our offer. We wanted to know what he told you.

>>93118683

Honest question, why does Tom Hardy keep getting roles?

>>93118683
Audiences don't support original films so the game changed. Studios will not make movies they know people won't support

>>93118225
>>93118738
Was getting cast a part of his plan?

It's okay since he is the villain.

I guess I see where you're coming from

According to federal documents Arabs are considered white.

>>93119153
"Hispanics" and Arabs both are counted as "White", which is one of the main inflators of white crime stats, and depressors of school results, etc.

>>93119153
That's just so we can keep them in secret prisons without violating the human rights violations.

Yeah, not sure why it's fine for Hamilton which is based on real people but here it's whitewashing.

He's actually against playing any foreign roll because he was born and raised in the US and he thinks it's dumb typecasting.

Not sure how that relates to a fantasy film.

>>93118225
Jafar is a big guy

>>93120339
Too bad the film was slow as molasses.

guy Ritchie is the less qualified to re make a childhood movie based on an ancient fable.

did the twats at disney not see him direct king arthur off a financial loss cliff just a few months ago?


the only good thing that's going to come out of this is guy being the typical island German with his head up his own ass, the cast is going to be 99 percent anglo. the shitstorms are going to be great.

At least he got dubs. Patrick Batman would be proud.

>>93119232
Hamilton makes a deliberate point of it to represent how America is a nation of immigrants who came together to make something special, and that continues today even though those immigrants often look different from the ones who came from Europe.

Disney is almost certainly not making any kind of statement and is just hiring a big name star to pull in audiences.

I'm not here to argue who's right and who's wrong, just pointing out the difference.

>>93118225

Not gonna lie, that would have been hilarious.

I'd be okay with a Chinese themed Disney Aladdin, just like the original story. Beats the hell out of these remakes' usual policy of "It's the exact same film but worse in every way".

Well guess I'll be skipping this Disney movie then. This movie is a Middle Eastern movie and should be filled with nothing but Middle Eastern actors and a middle eastern director. A director who understands the culture and appreciate the people of the Middle East not some white man with privilege casting other white man with privilege

I see anons above this post complaining about the villain being white because they don't like the idea of white villains in general. The only anon that referenced /pol/ directly is right above you. Whether or not anon's serious, that's one direct mention of /pol/ in the thread so far, not ITT as a general census. Where is this coming from?

>>93123269
this joke is so 2002

>>93122602
I'm not.

>>93123096
English theatrical versions of the story have used the Chinese setting for over a century now. Most pantomime productions of Aladdin I've ever been to, even AFTER the Disney movie, have set it in China, then Egypt at the climax. Aladdin's mother runs a Chinese launderette. It's a very Gilbert and Sullivan interpretation of China, but China nonetheless. The international Arabian Nights TV series about twenty years ago also used the Chinese setting and had actual Chinese actors.

I still don't know how those guys wasted over 175 million dollars on this movie. You'd think someone would have said something sooner about their bloated budget at 100 million.

King Arthur hasn't even made back its budget yet, and it's already been released in China.

So you want to cast a shittier choice? Literally just cast bashir or Kingsley for the role.

>>93124596
The shit about the orignial story being set in China complicates it a bit, but you're on the right track.

But more simply, either the culture matters or it doesn't. And race either matters or it doesn't.
