Why are they making L black? It looks nothing like him.

because fuck Drumpf! and fuck white people

>>80594575
Because they don't want bad reviews.

>>80594805
But wouldn't staying close to the source material result in more positive talk about the movie instead of butchering it like they're doing now

we wuz asians n shiet

>L was canonically white
He passed for nip and spoke nip fluently, so he's probably nip.

>>80594575
No outrage like in the Iron Fist debacle, I suppose.

This actor is good in Atlanta and has an exponentially less punchable face than the other lead.

watashiwa nigger desu

Are they seriously making another live action version? The first one want even that good why do an American version?

>>80595310
Because Hollywood is creatively bankrupt at this point

>>80594883
Yeah, reviewers threw a big fucking fit because Iron Fist, who was white in the comics, was white in the TV show. So of course they have to pick the most interesting character and make him a black guy. People who never even saw the source material will fall all over themselves giving it positive reviews.

>>80595377
Also, further reading shows everyone else is white. Wasn't this taking place in Japan?

>>80595039
I'm pretty sure he wasn't black

>>80595310
Because this garbage story can be adapted to any country based on its premise

>>80594575
What are some real life black masterminds?

I can think of some in aesthetics, music, etc of course. Where else?

People who write academic 'theories' about race don't count.

>>80595039
He was part french and part british in the books!

>>80596033
Beethoven, Mozart and King Tut.

>>80595310
Hollywood is a giant money laundering scheme

Is it based off death note or just in the universe? Because I could see it being like the bbk killer case with Rey pembers wife where the character thought to be L winds up being an imposter.

>>80595330
honestly

Do you guys even watch movies anymore? I honestly don't unless its already something I liked.

>>80596461
It's death note.
I wouldnt mind an edgy telling of that story though

He's a cool guy I don't care if he's black

When will this meme of blackwashing canonically white/asian casts end?

>>80594575
Probably because that actor is incredibly good and won the role over other people and asians can't act for shit.

Because casting an actor that can properly portray the character is more important than superficial details.

It's why all those low budget Japanese anime live action movies are garbage. They try really hard to nail the look of the character, but those aspects aren't the most important thing to focus on.

basically, yes

I could actually see him doing a really good job. Darius in Atlanta is basically ghetto L and he's easily the best part of that show. I don't think anything else matters if L is played by someone who can pull off being a cool, but terminally autistic shut in.

Does L being japanese or white significantly impact the story?

The race is at most, a minor detail. Nailing the character is way more important.

Never seen a Blade movie, so i don't know.

>>80595039
I think he was Jap by birth but raised by Brits.

Japs are really worse than Americans when it comes to sucking their own dicks. Like in Monster how the whole story is set in Germany but the hero is still a Japanese doctor.

>>80597489
Surely you must know that Blade is a black vampire hunter.

>>80595330
Has been for a while. Why do we keep making more capeshit sequels?

>>80594575

>>80597727
No it's just him dodging the question because he doesn't want to admit it would be wrong to change Blade's race from black to white, but it's perfectly acceptable to him to change whites to black.

>>80597727
>No wonder leftists pretend there aren't any black people in movies

Hahaha exactly. They just want to complain. There have been blacks in movies and in lead roles for fucking decades. But progressives just want to complain because that is what progressives are supposed to do.

>>80596759
Im not white

>>80594575
ive seen his movies and honestly, he would be a great fuckin L

>>80598643
any reason beyond him being black and therefore progressive?

>>80599354
no, he plays a smart autist really well, which is what L is. Just look at his character in Atlanta.

>>80594575
>L
>one character that is canonically White
>make him black
hmmmmm
Although to be fair all the Jap characters are White now which makes sense considering it is set in America. My main problem is that I just can't see how a black L is going to work. He needs to be Asian or White or he isn't going to look remotely like his character. He won't be able to get the mannerisms down either.

This whole adaption is unnecessary anyway. Original anime is all that is needed.

FUCK WHITE PEOPLE is why.

Thats the whole trend in Hollywood if you havent noticed hence black spiderman. I mean its getting nuts with how their shooting themselves in the foot... cough ghostbusters reboot.

Darius is basically my nigga so shut the fuck up

>>80596096
He was 1/4 those 2 and Jap and Russki

so white people get made when blacks replace asians? but they don't care if whites replace asians?

what????

>>80598013

I'm really sad the director got blacklisted forever because of The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen was a cluterfuck and he got the blame, he did good in Blade.

>>80600209
>Original anime is all that is needed.

>implying the drama wasn't top tier

>>80600562
It is set in America so it makes sense that they are not all Asian, that would be weird. I have no problem with L being black in the sense that "oh they are making him black instead of Asian", I simply don't think it works for the character.

I'm not being a /pol/tard here, this isn't like a black guy being cast as King Arthur or a white person playing an Asian role, it's not like it is European or Asian history or folklore.

I simply don't think a black guy is going to work playing L. For a start he looks nothing like the character at all, whereas you could find both Whites and Asians that would look the part.

>>80600746
>I simply don't think it works for the character.

Tell us L's background?

>>80595310

they're trying to meme animekino into being the next capekino (cf the new GITS movie)

I feel completely memed that I watched most of this show. Probably the dumbest show ever and it wasn't even fun. Geass did the same thing better.

>>80600820

Dreamworks bought the rights of GitS almost 10 years ago, it took their time to really go for it.

>>80600793
He's a half Jap half White guy who grew up in England. That's not why I don't think it works though.
1. He can't ever look even slightly like his VERY distinctive manga/ anime version.
2. Somehow I think it will look weird with a black guy doings L's mannerisms like the way he talks or how he sits on a chair.
Maybe I will be proven wrong but I think it is going to look rather ridiculous. The only other option is if they massively change his character- but then he isn't L any more.

>>80595039
Pretty sure the creator explicitly stated that L was one quarter jap, one quarter English, one quarter French, and one quarter something else I don't remember.

Then it really is just about his appearance. The only important part is that he speaks Japanese, but if the thing isn't set in Japan, that doesn't matter.

Somewhat. He's supposed to be a shut in supreme with his appearance reflecting it and that doesn't work so well with a black guy.
