even japs themselves always design themselves as caucasians. even the nigs in anime have caucasian features, only the colour of skin changes.

so give us a break.

should have gone for a more athletic and prettier actress though, johanson is too old, fat and short

This fits the bill more.

No one can look at scarjo's bulbous simian features and seriously think she looks better for the part. Just looking at the OP makes it pretty clear.

She looks like fucking ET.

>>79387374
Then why didn't a japanese film company produce the movie you cunt?

Once the rights to a story/franchise are secured, whoever produces it has the right to do whatever they want with the production. That's how the industry works. No one owes you a god damn thing. Just don't go see it

And also, this film is being released in English. How many native Japanese actors can you name that are female, speak English fluently, are young and would be able to an action film? The list would be very small

This movie would literally not be made at all without her. That PoS Lucy made half a billion on her name alone. Whether they would cast an asian was probably never even considered. Please name one asian actress, hell ANY actress, with a tenth of the box office draw of ScarJo.

>>79387531
Japanese American/British women are everywhere, dude.

You can Google the actresses.

>>79387589
This also.

It's almost like OP forgot that studios hire household name actors to play the lead in major productions because having that certain actor will put asses in the seats regardless of the movie

Here's a question: why do people who are offended by this casting lump all Asians together? Isn't lumping all Asians together racist?

>>79387589
It probably shouldn't have been made.

Especially now that we know where Yohandsome is investing her cut.

Obviously, the big twist is that the Major was originally a Japanese woman before her consciousness was transferred to a white body.

>>79387374
I often wonder if the same white people okay with this are the ones that complained about Heimdal being black in Thor.

>>79387641
No more racist than lumping Brits, Aussies and Americans together.

How offended were you by LA Confidential?

>>79387374
>So you're telling me if a story takes place in Japan, the characters have Japanese names and the omnipresent culture is clearly Japanese
The first film's location was obviously inspired by Hong Kong you retard.

>>79387615
Name one without Google. Lucy Lu maybe? But maybe she's chinese. Without google you probably couldn't name one and neither could the average north american movie goer.

And that's part of the point. ScarJo is a household name with experience in action movies in a movie being produced for a north american audience. Why take a risk when you could guarantee a return?

>cuse muh feelings

She's so fucking ugly.

>>79387615
And none of them have any draw at the box office. Let's say it like this: Pacific Rim wouldn't have flopped with Scarlett in that Japanese chick's role. Nothing to do with talent or whose "right for the part".

>So you're telling me if a story takes place in Japan

The setting of the 1995 movie was based on Hong Kong you dumb fuck, other than that they don't even state the name of the city.

But it's Asian right, so it all looks the same right? You're here bitching about it not being Japanese and you overlooked this detail. Fuck off.

No, the design themselves as cartoons, you read them as caucasian because you're caucasian, it's in your brain to find patterns to make things related to you.

When a Jap designs a Westerner they made their eyes and nose more realistic instead of the usual big eyes, small nose and small mouth

>>79387648
This. Hollywood remakes of anime are unnecessary. Same with Death Note. Nobody is going to see that shit anyway. At this point Hollywood is hurting anime more than delivering something worth seeing.

>>79387589
Your logic is why the nothing will ever change.
Asian stars don't exist because Hollywood doesn't cast Asians as lead characters and give them the opportunity to work up to being a star and box office draw. This causes Asians to not be interested to becoming actors in Hollywood, knowing there ain't shit for them apart from stereotypes or martial art roles. Thus, Hollywood can blame this whole situation on a lack of Asian actors to play these parts.

>>79387374

I'm not defending the casting of ScarJo, but Anime tends to use looks of phenotypically white people all the time so I have no problem with live action adaptations using white casts.

I do however have problems with live action adaptations of anime just existing though, namely because they've all been shit.

want to make a movie? Have a japanese studio make an OVA but holy shit live action anime does not work.

>>79387777
lol what?

Japanese actresses are not household names. That's the point. When a studio invests millions into a movie, they want a big house hold name in the lead.

Think about the demographic of people who have never seen Ghost in the Shell, probably more than those who have seen it. Since ScarJo was cast, there is a chance that this movie will get people from that demographic watching the movie simply because they like her, or saw her in Lucy or some shit. That would never happen if they hired a Japanese nobody for the role.

You seems to want to the entire industry to change how they operate so your feelings won't get hurt, but no one gives a shit and this will make millions regardless.

>>79387861
animu is much more anthroporphic compared to the simpsons mr pleb

>>79387374
Lol she looks like ET

>>79387709
>Let's say it like this: Pacific Rim wouldn't have flopped with Scarlett in that Japanese chick's role.

Pacific Rim flopped because the trailers made it look like a knockoff Transformers and it had a title that didn't give any indication of what it was about.

Also Guardians of the Galaxy disproves your point completely.

OP, what's the big deal?

This movie literally has a white woman being surrounded by Asian guys. This movie is fetishizing white women for the asian audience. I would prefer this more than a movie with an asian actress in a western country.

>>79387922
Remember your own money argument the next time you complain about TFA or the next Marvel blockbuster.

>>79387882
All that shit is meaningless. There aren't WHITE actresses which could automatically greenlight a movie like she can. It has nothing to with skin color it has everything to do with Americans loving Scarlett Johanssen.

And hey, if Asians want more asian actors/actresses how about making some art scholarships for them instead of pressuring them to be chemical engineers or accountants in fields they are over-represented in?

>>79387954

>>79387999
You really think America would love Johanssen if she looked like a terrorist?

>>79387374
I wouldnt even have a problem with it if the white actress was good.

This frumpy swolen faced bitch is a meme now.

>>79387851
Not going to joke, but you probably have a problem, that or you live in a place where whites are the vast majority so you have been conditioned to think white is the default and unless explicity said everything is white.

>>79387374
>So you're telling me if a story takes place in Japan, the characters have Japanese names and the omnipresent culture is clearly Japanese, the film adaptation should still star white people just because the animation style took on a certain stylistic choice that you interpreted as white even though anyone's who's been to Japan will tell you there are Japanese people who would look the part?

yes since in the GitS world people can choose to have whatever body they want and if South Korean eye widening and jaw narrowing plastic surgery and sales of skin bleach is anything to go by asians all would choose to look as caucasian as possible

You've literally never seen interviews with Asian actors and actresses have you? They're always only landing small commercial roles or bit parts as love interests in the case of women but literally can't advance higher because major roles - even ones based on Asian women - are taken by white actresses.

The Martian being the most recent example. Ridley Scott complained the book had too many Asian characters and felt American audiences would be weirded out.

>>79388089
>people can choose to have whatever body they want
GitS had very few full prosthesis characters. Outside of villains and Motoko I can't think of any.

>>79388077
This+++

Also, for the """"""fans"""""", Major's body isn't supposed to be Japanese, compare her to other Japanese/Asian women on the movie, she doesn't look like them

>>79388111
Checked.

But it doesn't even matter. The only real asian part of 1995 GiTS is the boat ride, and it's from HONG KONG not Japan. It's not even about being in Hong Kong or Japan, the boat ride I mean. It's seeing the Major looking around and seeing herself questioning her identity. You could replace it with any kind of similar set piece from another country, a fucking taxi ride down a decadent Times Square, as long as the Major is clearly having an issue with the idea of self.

The Major fuses with a goddamn sentient AI, becoming raceless, becoming post-human. Her ethnicity doesn't matter in the least.

>>79388100

It's not. Koreans would literally look like this if not for surgery and if Japs didn't rape them during WW2.

Koreans have a massive inferiority complex not found anywhere else on the continent.

Well maybe then Asian movie companies should try to be more relevant. This sense of entitlement is baffling to me. Why should western movie companies who makes movies primarily for western audiences consider your fucking feelings.

The fact that it is obviously just leftists ideologues looking to soap box about how enlightened and cosmopolitan they are rather than true fans wanting it to be as authentic to the cartoons as possible. Not that elitist dweebs would care to see it since it's not subtitled like their cartoons.

To which you replied: >>79388330, stating that that is nothing original. I asked you to provide me the name of another film that does what GiTS did, and then you started saying "this film isn't 1995 GiTS," leading me to believe we are talking about the ScarJo one. But that wasn't evident to me, because I was never talking about the ScarJo one in this chain of replies.

>Inafune

>>79387374
It's not like it mattered, the flick was certain to be unwatchable garbage the moment the staff was revealed.

Scarjo is the least important issue with this mess.

you do realize they want to make it box office succesful,
thus the necessity for a familiar white actress

either way she is jewish so her ancestors actually come from the continent of Asia (israel)

>>79387374
exactly

I don't have a problem with her being played by a white actress. I have a problem with her being played by this jewish rat-faced cunt. She's easily among the top-10 of worst people in Hollywood.
HOWEVER. Jusdging by the look of the trailers, this movie is complete and utter shit. Jumbled bits from anime with a generous side of shitty hollywood writing, no lighting to speak of, awful lines and line delivery. And colour grading is trash. Johannson's "star power" is the only thing that can save this steaming pile of garbage from flopping. Even though it deserves to.

Star Wars and Marvel are huge on their own, they don't need a household name at their center. In the case of Star Wars, the studio simply got lucky in that its central cast were all unknowns yet the movie blew up.

In this climate of entertainment, Disney of all studios isn't going to invest millions into a movie and cast an unknown actress on the chance that it'll be a success. More so that Ghost in the shell as a franchise isn't strong enough on its own.

The difference is in Japan that you can market the animated movie to a older audience and it will sell. What they want here is the said equivalent user base to give them shekels in the west.

Same thing was common among European movie makers randomly hire some yank then just get local actors for the minor roles and dub them over. Even if the damn movie is set in Italy,France or whatever

They call for extras and then a load of dudes from town turn up and they give them costumes, they stand around for a bit, then get a small wage for their time. That's the process.

The Major being white is not the issue with the casting of Scarlet Johanssen.

>>79387374
>You hated when Heimdall was played by Idris Elbow

No I didn't.

Believe it or not, not everyone on /tv/ is a frothing-at-the-mouth /pol/tard. I know that /tv/ has been ruined by crossposters for years so it's an easy mistake to make.

>>79387676
I'm okay with both.
Because Heimdall is an alien in a capeshit franchise.
And the Major is a cyborg that gets a replacement body every other day.

So NONE of you faggots have read the manga or watched any of the anime adaptations? The Major is not a Japanese woman, she's a Japanese brain in a jar inside a robot body that looks like a Caucasian woman.

I could give a fuck less that she's white. They could've picked a better white woman tho.

Hollywood should not leech off of my gook cartoons. In fact, as "a white person" this offends me greatly and I hope every effort creatively bankrupt (((hollywood))) makes to rip off anime bombs terribly.

>>79387374
I havent seen anyone defend this casting, she's awful. visually the movie looks good in parts, that's it.

It really doesn't matter since most people aren't familiar with the source material. Same goes for Heimdall. For all they know he's black in the comics.

>>79387374
1. The fucking Creator of GitS said, long before the movie was even announced, that the Major has a caucasian body
2. in SAC they also said that she has "american looks"

The casting is 100% like it is in the Anime and Manga.

Keep lying to yourself. Your delusions are all you have left.

The only Japanese thing about Motoko is her name and her brain. Her body is fully replaced with prosthetics.

The issue with Scarjo is that she is very feminine looking when the movie Motoko was androgynous.

Because Scarlet Johanson is like the female Tom Cruise. Her films will be a subgenre of Sci Fi in themselves in the day and the more the merrier.


Also because the Orient isn't being racially replaced by white people and being brainwashed to like it.

Do western actors that speak fluently Japanese even exist? I think they couldn't hire them even if they wanted. I watch a lot of Tokusatsu and there's like 2, maybe 3 white guys (that always appear in them) and maybe 1 black who can speak Japanese without sounding like bumbling retards that are clearly reading it phonetically from a teleprompter.

ScarJo is still shit casting.

Plus a number of other characters are whitewashed and blackwashed instead of giving Asian actors the role. So it is still racist as fuck.

Good lord. Aside from 1 or 2 slick shot in the trailer (that were lifted from the anime) this movie so far looks like fucking crap. Batou looks like a goddamn joke, Scarjo just looks like she walked out of her trailer after smoking a blunt and eating a dozen donuts. They're also adding in some bull crap Hollywood "destiny" plot and shoving an any cool scenes from the anime that look laughable when recreated with green screen hackery.

you call that fat blob? what do you call mellisa mccarthy? have you ever even had intimate relations with a woman? Im defending typecasting someone more relatable to films audience... and I believe Major was always white. She has fucking blue eyes! Scarjo is the best choice. She's somewhat sexy in a feminine way and yet can do action. Some said Faorah from Man of Steel would be great - I kinda agree, but she is too androgenic. Major is very ladylike (huge tits) although she's athletic as well.

I'm white and I was never autistic enough to think anime characters look white.
White people have strong jaws, are tall, have brown, red or blonde hair and straight noses.
Anime characters have round heads, are short, slim figured and have little to no nose.

If you are white, anime characters look white.
If you are Asian, anime characters look Asian.

That is how cartoons work.
Do you not even understand cartoons, /tv/?

Indeed

Idris Elba obviously

>>79387374
The film wouldn't have been made without her starring. Simple as that

>>79387374
I remember they said she WAS caucasian in the anime...or at least her "body" was.

They undergo trends to make their eyelids more like that of Europeans in South Korea and Japan. Like it or not, East and West are constantly influencing each other, and some Asians find European/American features more attractive.

But yes, even they know that their animated characters look more white than yellow.

To be fair, the turnaround between her being cast and principal photography was much shorter than is typical. Most actors cast in this type of role have at least several months to diet and train.

aeon flux on the right

Shouldn't Black Widow be in decent shape?

Those charts weren't made by Japs though, don't leet the moonrunes fool you

>>79395877
Two of those white women (the ones below) look heavily photoshoped.

>>79396297
Japs themselves say the most beautiful look is that of Russians no wonder they wank them off.

I think it's disgraceful.

It's just as bad as casting some nigger in a white role, like James Bond, or some shit.

It's just bad casting to change the race of a known character when you make a film based off of a book, comic / whatever.

>>79387374
I don't recall defending it at all, she is god fucking awful casting.

>>79387374
I am a white Scottish man and I have constantly berated and belittled this casting.

If you were going to cast a caucasian you could at least cast a non-potato. Completely wrong build in bone and face.
