Ed Skrein leaving Hellboy is 'a wake-up call,' Hollywood casting directors say

All Hollywood does is push corporate garbage, who cares what colour the actors are.

hollywood doesn't give a shit about anything except making more money. If they start making more movies with asian characters it'll only be because they want a new demographic to buy their tickets.
On a related note I completely forgot that the character in question was Half-Japanese, reading the comics it doesn't have much to do with his personality.

It's common in theater that the actors aren't necessarily "true" in the modern day racial sense to the original conception of the character (it's ubiquitous in stagings of Shakespeare's plays). It just triggers liberal identitarians when it's a white actor portraying a non-white character.

Most of these liberal outcries have been over comic book movies, though, which are, as a rule, trash. So who cares.

Nope actually I was asking my self few years ago why blacks are preferred over asians then I found that clip. Plus I'm hapa so. I don't frequent reddit tho

...

...

cut this shit out. it's just liberalism. we don't need to confuse americans any more.

I don't hold it against him. But I also care very little about this.

Actors act. There are totally tasteless miscastings (I don't know if this was one - I don't read Hellboy), but that goes beyond the "whitewashing" thing. Check out 'Murrika's Death Note adaption for a real clusterfuck. Ultimately, a black actor playing a white guy or a white actor playing a black guy (no, I'm not talking blackface) is not only not inherently bad; it's basically just their fucking job.

While I hate idpol and Agree with you asians are a fucking joke in most movies. That's not fun, especially even when coons can make fun of you. Like I posted here if I was ever to make a joke like that about blacks I'd be lynched

That wouldn't be a bad thing.

So far he's a better poster then Hoochie

so far this melanoma is better than a terminal brain tumour

Whelp, ya'll stuck up for Hoochie going on prolly for what two years now? You reap what you sow. And people still stand up for her cause she made her brand of cancer the new normal.

Hoochie is despised and hasn't been here for two years you cock guzzling faggot.

tbh i think the only positive thing I've had to say about the hooch is that she was more authentic than that lolbert blue collar bootstrapper rp'er that was hanging around a few days ago. have people actually said she was good?

I really and truly don't see what's wrong with Hoochie.

She's legit as far as I'm concerned.

I think you are confusing hoochie with someone else.
Hoochie is here all the time.

Yes, people have especially after the incels got wind of the picture that she said was her ass. Then they all wanted to be her little baby tampon boy for some reason. Thirst is powerful stuff plus people forget how shitty her posts were.

By far an even worse shitposter then Milo, Jim Profit and Satan-Nazi. At least they could be entertaining at times.

What in the fuck does hollywood movies drama have anything to do with economics or freedom?
What the fuck? Why is this on Holla Forums instead of a celebrity gossip board?

Hoochie showed up in 2016 at the earliest you shitcunt.

And she is still here you drooling monkey.

And? Stalinfag should be lynched for blowing 300 on mcgregor in addition to his other retardation.

kys.
Go be a shitty bedwetting gossip columnist somewhere else

Do you wanna know the only people who gives a fuck about race/ethnicity?
Racists

She's an obnoxious shitposting tripfag, and not even a funny one. Doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out user.

Is this bait?

>>>/reddit/

>>>/reddit/

Controversy over "race-lifts" and other demographic changes in fiction is fucking retarded and usually happens around movies that are already bad anyway. See:
If by now you're not cynical enough to suspect it's marketing trying to compensate for a shitty movie and/or low studio confidence, I've got a bridge to sell you.

...

Is this to prevent another Hapa massacre?

it is just liberalism, but what americans call liberalism is left liberalism, as opposed to what they call conservatism which is right liberalism
this is for the benefit of the american not for their confusion, to call left liberalism just liberalism is to indulge them in their misuse of terminology
sage because this thread is irrelevant trash and filled with bait

go suck a tailpipe

that's just the flavour the pic came in, but you are right, and I have since updated it in autistic fashion

mostly making a thousand argumentative posts in a row in stead of condensing

wtf

that's what I hate about the current trend of 'diversity' in consumer media. It feels like a way of forcing you to take shitty products seriously. once upon a time, comic book movies were looked down upon cheap entertainments fit only for children. Now, they are universal standard bearers of social progress. grown adults are supposed to gain self esteem via identification with superheroes. And worst of all, the movies themselves are only getting worse and more formulaic. seems awfully patronising, doesn't it?

Fuck you, go back to Reddit you broke dick dumbass, they white washed that role because their white audience is so autistic they can't enjoy a story if anything but white main characters is presented. You don't live in a bubble, they white washed Ghost in the Shell for fucks sake.

It's not a conspiracy, PoCs have more disposable income then before, so porky is catering to their prejudices just like porky did for fucking decades with straight white males. You guys cry about diversity on this board the same way pol cries about anuddah shoah I.e. White girls having sex with black men.

I'm not even white. I just feel this is one of the methods hollywood uses in order to justify itself, even as they take less risks and focus on core competencies like escapist superhero blockbusters. The 'reactionary backlash' is an integral, planned part of the product's marketing strategy. I'd rather not have my identity bound to shitty consumer products.

Meh, fair enough, sorry for swearing at you comrade.

Get out.

Christ, who gives a shit? The only people I ever see bitching about this one way or another is white people. There's probably just as many dumbshit "woke" liberals being offended at this on behalf of Asian people everywhere as there are Holla Forumstards crying about the backlash. Asian people, from what I've seen, didn't really give much a fuck one way or the other, which is good.

it was a shitty movie anyways. if the oscars weren't 'too white' no one would have any reason to watch them or care about them. Racial manufacturoversies are the last refuge of a dying culture industry.

I cared , I was a fan of the original. It was blatant white washing. You're up in arms over a white guy willfully leaving a part but when fans of an adaptation complain about changing the race of a main character in a story with strong Japanese nationalist themes, all of a sudden it doesn't matter. You're just getting triggered by Hollywood not catering to white idpol at every turn and blaming ESS JAY DOUBLE JEWS instead of the oligopoly studio system.

I'm actually happy about this. I think literally anyone would have played Motoko better than Scarlett Johansson and I have always hated that kind of whitewashing in the past. Not even asian or give a shit about idpol. I don't want mediocre white people playing asian roles when there are far better asian actors they could grab.

The false dichotomy strikes again.

...

Wew, Holla Forums doesn't realize they're defending markets and capitalistic hollywood media.

And fuck the westernization of asian films; They ruin it because their the only reason for whitewashing is for profits.

youtube.com/watch?v=iUfHBWdqq-A

Give me a fucking break

White people are the ones who are creating the controversy. Just like stupid football fans they thought of Hollywood as a civic institution since it ceaselessly catered to their prejudices, superiority complex and white supremacy. Now that minorities and fans of subcultures like comic books have enough disposable income to be a viable market, they're crying because what they thought they owned is turning against them.

I don't give a shit about the guy in the OP or the shitty GitS adaptation, I don't know how much more clear I can make that. I don't care if the guy was white, black, or asian. Stop projecting this bullshit onto me. I'm saying this is nothing more than a pointless distraction, and anyone getting overly bothered either way about it desperately needs to rethink their priorities. There's more important things to worry about than what race some rich hollywood prick playing a character is.

...

I don't know what point you are making, but I'm sure it's wrong. Also, GitS was a manga to begin with.

...

...

All anime is westernised female faces. Not Asian, they only give old woman those features.

There's tons of Asians that have westernized features though.

You sure checked my privelige.

...

Why Asian? If it isn't a Jap then it doesn't matter. No Japanese person wants a Korean plying that role over Scarlett Johansan. Asian is a ridiculous American idpol class.

Yeah, you're a retarded faggot. The large eyes and "western features" are because anime/manga art was across the board influenced by Astroboy which was in turn inspired by Donald Duck. You're making a Holla Forums-tier uninformed argument with this.

We'll there are even more Japanese women with Anglo features since so many of them get surgery.

Point is there are ton of Japanese actresses that could have played Mokoto. Johansen looks nothing like Mokoto, shes short af, that scene where she jumped through the glass looked ridiculous.

On a more serious note, all this whitewashing accusations are asinine. The main character was a above all else a cyborg. Nothing in it's / her character was characteristic of of Japanese culture until proven otherwise. That's what's most frustrating about these accusations - it's literally whining and bitching about a paint scheme.
If they made a film adaptation of Things Fall Apart and turned Okonkwo into a cumskin, okay, there the complaints would be justified. Being an Igbo was pretty damn vital to the story. But barring that, people should just calm the fuck down.

You are the mong saying an 'Asian' should play a Japaese role to satisfy an American idpol crusade you imbecile. If it isn't a Jap it doesn't matter. They are not just to be Asianwashed are they?

I think you either need to reread my posts or look up what that word actually means, because that's not what I'm doing here.

It was a cyborg built by a Japanese corporation with extremely strong ethno national beliefs, if Nazi German built a cyborg they wouldn't make it a black woman.

What the fuck are you trying to say? You made a bullshit claim about anime and I called you out on it. Is pink/green/purple hair now western? How about small indistinct noses?

All I said was that I would rather any asian woman play the role instead of Scarlett Johansson because she is a god awful actress. I don't know why you're so pissed that a lot of people in the thread see the casting decision as being racist and disingenuous to the source material, which it is. What's wrong with people pointing that out?

Also, don't bullshit about how none of this matter and distracts from the class struggle because you're right now engaging in idpol culture war bullshit on a fucking chinese cartoon imageboard.

I'm not gonna lie, I'm not that deep in the lore. Was that a big plot point, or just like a typical lefty manga artist putting stuff in the background kinda thing?
That said, the Nazi's might well build an honorary aryan cyborg.

Oh fuck off Donald Duck my arse. Western features are obsessed about in Japan, believe it's Donald Duck if you want to be an embarrassment to yourself.

Are you actually this retarded? It's not a fucking race issue. They HATE each other, the wrong is done to the Japanese NOT generic asian Suey Parkism.

Dude anytime anglos are depicted in anime they are shown as huge ugly boors.

Stop making shit up. It can go either way in anime. Some depictions are demeaning and others are pretty normal.

No they fucking aren't. They are the exact same lel, watch any high school anime which always have a qt European. They have blonde hair usually is the only signifier. Patty from Lucky Star, the girls from Kiniro Mosaic, Sakasouro no Pet English girl. Endless list.They portray 'abroad' like in K-on as big nosed fucks and different style, that is not for main characters though.

Why does everyone use the word whitewashing this way. It never meant this until teenage girls on tumblr started using it like that.

It's propaganda obviously

shiggydiggy

You don't know anything about thew history of animation in Japan and you're talking this kind of bullshit? Can you even draw?

Tell me, how is rainbow hair western? Or tiny indistinct noses? How about pale, not pink, skin? Does Motoko looks white in the manga films, or tv series? Large eyes came from Donald Duck as was stated by the literal creator of Astroboy and all anime and manga took that as their major influence. Literally large eyes are the only argument you have and it is blown out of the water by basic knowledge about the history of the medium in Japan. Seriously fuck off.

I'm not sure what you're trying to say. I do think whitewashing is racist. Whether whitewashing in the media is a big deal is dubious for a leftist.

She's hafu(and best girl) so she doesn't count.

I'm just saying it's more complicated then your making it to be. Yes Japanese love western features, but to say anime characters are always intended to look like white people is such a stretch.
Donald Duck and Astro boy are why they have big eyes. Although certainty that's not the only reason. Also there are tons of popular anime that feature Asians with Asian features.

Holy shit you utter dweeb. I don't give a fuck about drawing. If you think that the post war westernization of Japan and beauty image of Western woman isn't the main drive behind modern anime, your are dim. They are OBSESSED with Western features.

If you think anime is in any way representative of the overall Japanese culture , you know nothing about Japanese culture. Anime is a subculture that shunned by the larger culture.

and it was shit

Japanese enthno nationalism was a strong theme, and since it's a cyberpunk story those kind of politics are important, it's not a soap oopera that could be set anywhere.

You're just making that up. Of course they have adopted western fashions and some do find western features attractive, but that doesn't mean it is the drive behind Japanese art style and I gave you concrete reasons why that isn't true. You've not made any argument of exactly how these asian characters are supposed to look white.

Nah, you're just self-centered a faggot.

Thankfully for me we are talking about Anime, and I never said it was representative. This subculture devoted to one way of portraying girls, they even portray men with Japanese features in the same fucking anime. More yellow and slantier eyes.

It was interesting, but I'd be lying if I didn't say I like the anime adaptations a lot more.

For such a gay weeb you don't seem bothered by your minimization of the Japanese role for some Asian generic bullshit. Sort yourself out.

You referenced Japanese westernized standard of beauty, so yes you were saying anime you claim Anglo features, are an extension of that larger cultural standard.

What are you saying? Minimization of the Japanese role for what Asian generic bullshit? Are you just mad and incapable of coherent arguments?

big eyes are cheaper to animate
That's the main reason anime characters have big eyes, it's the reason why many cartoon characters have big eyes.
It's easier to emote if your character has big eyes and humans are drawn to eyes and things that are shiny, which is also why anime eyes look like pools of water.

You are the one who wanted an Asian to play the role, something Japanese people would find as ridiculous and less appealing as a fucking Mega Star. Because they are about as similar to being Japanese for all they care. Japan ends at Japan. There is no 'Asian' for them, only retarded yanks like yourself ranting like Suey Park over something Japanese don't care about.

My wanting an asian to play the role was mostly because Scarlett Johansson is a terrible actress and literally any asian actress they could have gotten for a similar price would have been better. I didn't have any real expectations for the adaptation and even a change in actress wouldn't have salvaged it. My concern in this thread is your blatant retardation when it comes to anime and manga.

The movie bombed, and it had plenty of fans in Japan so you can't say they were okay with it. GitS wasn't a cookie cutter action film that could be treated with such carelessness.
The race of Mokoto was important so mangling it shows how little they understood the appeal. They were trying do to it what they did to transformers but transformers started out as being for kids.
The movies scenes are dead on recreations of the ones in the anime so their set designer knew what they were doing, I'll give it that.

yea, Bato peeking at Makoto lesbian orgy was.. interesting..

It bombed because no normalfags, or me have ever heard of it before.

It also bombed because GitS fans didn't carry water for it.

This. I even told my dad not to see it.

4 people in the west didn't turn up

I think you're underestimating how big the western fan base for GitS is. It was big enough that an insignificantly tiny fraction of them kept that shitty fps First Assault going for years.

...

Johansson is a white woman cyborg with a Japanese woman's brains!!

Yep.
Also even if all the GitS fans had watched it, it would still have bombed because the internet make it seems like animu and weeabism is huge but the true is that it's just a very loud tiny niche thing.

And?

It was probably their shitty attempt at playing up the themes around identity, but I think it would have been better if they had instead done what other GitS material did and raised questions about Motoko's original gender/sex.

It's an admission of guilt that mokotos race was important to. the story. Nigga you don't care about GitS, you just care about white Idpol, go protest the Ghostbusters movie or something.

So the white people did it, over guilt and ruined it. And that's a good reason for idpol why? Do you protest every Shakesperian play with black people?

I had no idea the GiTS movie bombed, thank you, I just assumed it made a shitload of money like all other normie trash. Maybe there is a limit to what the market will tolerate after all.

I'm not the guy you were arguing with about Donald Duck or whatever, I'm just calling you out on your bullshit claim that anytime a westerner is depicted in anime it's in an ugly or demeaning way. There's tons of examples where that isn't the case.

Hollywood porkies did it FOR WHITE people.
No I don't protest Shakespeare plays done by black people because I don't give a fuck about that hacks plays.
Plenty of GitS fans are white and they all agree the whitewashing was bull shit. Stay in your lane pol cuck

Actually laughing at your weeb nonsense.

*Philistine detected*

...

the white people in the PR departments of Hollywood studios you mean.

Nah I mean white people, like I said they're acting like sports fans when a good player leaves because they think of this private property as civic institutions.

Are you actually saying this weeb shit is on par with Shakespeare? Am I meant to take this seriously and not just laugh? It's fucking substance?

I certainly hope he isn't saying that, but reducing GitS to "weeb shit" is completely fucked.

Everything Shakespeare did has been better elsewhere. I'm saying he's a hack and I don't care about his work. Which is why I wouldn't protest his plays if they were all black actors

Yeah I'm saying that, I don't fucking care, cyberpunk speaks to me more than any Shakespeare play, Romeo.and Juliet was boring as fuck

kys

You first triggered cuck. The plays are boring shit and inspire bull shit like game of thrones.
The propulsive narrative Hollywood style I'd writing is better.

There are 15 better plays than that you pleb, that is the level we are talking about.

oh fuck off weeb
Hamlet is why I think humanity deserves a chance to live and create

You're wrong. Shakespeare is definitely not a hack. He's certainly not an original writer as his plays were based on older plays, but holy fuck dude. If you don't see how important his mastery of language and influence on English as a whole is then you really need to reevaluate.

That's fine if you prefer cyberpunk over Shakespeare. I actually enjoy cyberpunk more as well, but please don't shit on Shakespeare. Really bad take.

Dude, just stop posting. You're making every GitS fan in the thread look bad and they don't deserve that. GitS is great, but using it to talk shit about Shakespeare is about the dumbest thing I've ever seen.

I really don't, sorry. It's just my opinion but I think Shakespeare isn't all that important to literature today, although historically he is.
I read a handful of his plays and just didn't see the significance, they were hard to read too so I don't think they influence language today.

Hamlet suuuuuuuccckkkkssss…..it's all bourgeois backstabbing, boring! I thought "Children of the Sun" was more dramatic and that's about a lost pair of shoes.

Please put on a trip so I can disregard every single opinion you have. Thx.

I'm saying your so triggered by white idpol being undermined you'll go out of your way to insert yourself into the Mokoto/Scarlet controversy even though you know or care jack shot about GitS

It's hilarious to see leftypol who swears up and down to be anti idpol have virulent opinions on practically every idpol controversy.

We're not a hivemind. Furthermore, the red flaggot is a liberal Democratic Cops of America organizer who just stumbled upon this place and will be leaving shortly, hopefully with the door hitting them.

Go be an idpol liberal elsewhere.

Saging because not politics

I don't care about "minority representation" or "whitewashing" or "blackwashing". What I do care about, however, is anything that indicates the studios behind a movie or TV show aren't putting any effort into their work, doubly so if it's (marketed as, at least) something adapted from or influenced by a prior and strongly lauded work.

Though far from the only such sign, lazy casting and needless rewrites of characters are certainly one of them. Whether that means blacks as whites, whites as blacks, women as men, or men as women, I am equally annoyed by all such violations.

This is not to say, however, that a properly justified change, one made for artistic rather than commercial or political reasons, can't work, when accompanied by other necessary changes to produce something new and cohesive, but with the essence of the original intact.

A good example, off the top of my head, is a film like Edge of Tomorrow (from All You Need is Kill), which swapped the whole cast and location from Japan to Britain, with an Operation Overlord theme added.

Another example is something that merely takes pieces from one or more older works, and cobbles together a quasi-original new work, such as The Matrix (based on manga such as GitS and BLAME!) or Pacific Rim (based on Toei kaiju movies).

Of course, merely doing either of these isn't enough to escape other problems. An awful example of "localizing" something reasonably well, while still rewriting the plot enough to completely destroy the essence of the original, is the new Netflix Death Note movie. Similarly, an example of making something indirectly inspired by anime, Hong Kong wire-fu, and the like, but reducing it to a mere layer of incoherent vacuous pandering atop a generic Walking Dead-type action-soap, is Into the Badlands.

With all this in mind, even if it's for the wrong reasons, this walkback on Hellboy is welcome, even if it is possibly for the wrong reasons.

I was just about to mention this. Back then, not only were blacks played by whites, but women were forbidden from acting, so all female characters were played by boys or castratoes.

Later, things shifted a bit in the opposite direction, when by the time of (most infamously) Peter Pan, children were forbidden from the stage, so all children, male and female, were played by adult women.

This sort of thing survives in anime, where many anime have most or all children voiced by women, and animals on even the most serious anime are also "voiced" by humans making onomatopoeia. I find it very irritating.

Casting of white people into roles originality held by other races isn't arbitrary though. Capitalism has made entertainment escapist and the white audience has to identify with the character to enjoy the story.
White people, through white flight, red lining, soft racism etc, don't associate with anyone but white people, a study I saw said 90 percent of white people dont have have non white personal friends.
Hollywood white washes stories because it literally causes cognitive dissonance when white peoples have to follow stories with non white charcarters, it's akin to watching a movie in a foreign language.
This is symptomatic of the larger material divide among proles along racial lines. White people were perfectly comfortable (save for few exceptions) with this for generations, and started viewing Hollywood as a civic institution that servered them.
They're mad that Hollywood porkies are chasing profits and catering to the growing PoC market and more and more crafting movies that stroke their prejudices making white peoples feeling betrayed and blaming PoC instead of the oligopoly studio system.

TL;DR
White people are butt mad because they're on the other side of the idpol equation, i.e. being marginalized by idpol instead of being glorified by it.

There is no POC market, that's ridiculous. There is only individual market for races and white liberals who hate that white people are more marketable to English speaking nations. Not to say they can't or don't enjoy ethnic actors because they do.

And Bollywood and China will marginalize themselves when? Never.

Oops, forgot to sage, durr.

Why the huge wave of success among American audiences for imported kung-fu movies and kaiju films in the 1970s then? Why the anime sensation during the late-90s and early 2000s? Why the K-Pop idol craze today?

Sorry, but your hapa insecurity-driven bullshit is unsupportable. If you want movies with Asians in them, there's an entire thriving industry overseas, and Americans consuming their output.

I know Japans anime has already changed significantly to cater to western tastes, so probably both Bollywood and china will too, maybe not to US tastes but to the emerging African middle class.

When it becomes profitable.

All tiny markets relative to huge Hollywood movie market. Can't speak to k pop but I've never heard k pop in clubs or in the radio so I don't think it's a sign big as you think.

My Hapa ass isn't up in arms every time Hollywood capitulates to minorities over idpol issues. It's white guys homie.

More 'diversity' has been forced on Hollywood, it's laughable to say it's due to profits. It was due to Liberal social attitudes of the elites there.

ITT: butthurt hapas and red libs

Ever thought that liberals might refuse to go watch a movie if it isn't "diverse" enough and therefore hurting the profits?

...

...

...

Retards perpetuate idpol and they come in all colors and shapes.

Why wouldn't anyone be butt hurt about that?

Because when minorities complained about idpol issues in the past they were laughed at primary by white people.

The idpol that effects material conditions is done by the dominate identity group, I.e white people.

They are white and Jewish. We all know that's who runs the Idpol on the left.

So you're chasing a revenge fantasy

Me? Nah? Just don't have any sympathy for hypocrites. I don't watch that much Hollywood movies, and I'm used to not being represented in them, blessing in disguise really, since this pivot to minorities didn't shock me.

Big enough markets to account for a substantial percentage of revenue even compared to domestic take. Stateside, big enough for numerous Asian stars (Jackie Chan, Jet Li, etc.) to headline Hollywood movies, American TV networks to have their own anime produced by Japanese studios, and K-Pop to chart in the Billboard 50.

Hollywood is a titan, and Americans are more isolated from other cultures than most nationalities, but we are far from an impervious blob of uniform insularity.

...

Not to mention Jackie made dozens of movies that never made it stateside in retail.
Are you talking about Gangman style? Cause that's the only k pop hit ove ever heard of
Really like what recently? Also outsourcing animation isn't the same as having it produced.
Sorry white burgers are spooked af with regards to idpol and reeeeeee at even the slightest undermining their fmwhite idpol, look at the ghostbusters controversy, and that was a simple gender swap with only one inabashedly black character that was practically as Mami black face. Hollywood will continue to capitulate to minorities with ipdol issues and white peoples will continue to cry about it, pretend all you want that white people arent insulated completely from other cultures and ethnicities because some of them like king fu movies.

She's a cyborg who has dozens of different bodies in SAC.

If you want to watch a movie with Asian people in it, watch a fucking Korean or Japanese film, those countries have film industries and a lot of their movies are better than Hollywood shit. Fuck!

The planet is literally being raped and you fucking cunts are sad that there aren't enough people that look like you in Capitalist entertainment. There's no way I can describe how angry I am right now.

Jesus christ I shouldn't have posted in this thread.
Why people here are still debating? As an Hapa i'm saying that I'm not offended. Why you motherfuckers fight battle that you are not involved in?

Kill yourself, really, fucking kill yourself.

Because leddit had to stop by and drag the tread to 160+ posts.

I couldn't care less about these issues, just pointing out white washing is really a thing, and Hollywood is going to start appealing to the prejudices of minorities the same way they used to to white people, stay mad and get ready to start getting fucked over by the superstructure

Bruce Lee, Chow Yun-fat, Grace Park, Michele Yeoh, Toshiro Mifune, Ken Watanabe. Hardly unique. That said, one factor that may have curtailed dips into Hollywood might not be Hollywood itself, but the increasing size of China's own domestic film market, ironically causing Asian talent to stay closer to home in recent years.
It certainly charted the highest the longest, but others have also charted high:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_K-pop_songs_on_the_Billboard_charts
I'm not talking about stuff like Animatrix, but original anime commissioned by foreign money. Most famously Cartoon Network's anime such as Space Dandy, Netflix has funded the first few (including BLAME!) of a ton more in the pipeline, and more American companies have done others, like Spike TV's co-production on Afro-Samurai. Here's a recent overview of the subject:
animenation.net/ask-john-is-crunchyroll-partnering-with-nbcuniversal-to-make-anime-a-good-thing/

That wasn't "capitulation", that was a virtue-signaling publicity stunt by white male hipsteratti, just like pretty much every other instance of such antics.

litterally who
Nah it's white burgers adversion to non white leads, All modern Asians movie stars in western films under go eye surgery for this very reason, Asian stars without Anglo round eyes cannot get roles, not even Jackie chan could, look at pictures of him as a middle schooler.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_K-pop_songs_on_the_Billboard_charts
The single point I'm willing to concede to you to, but Netflix is commissioning tons of new films, and "BLAME!" is one of many.
Except it wasn't, it only became that after white people angry that their prejudices weren't being catered to in a franchise they felt a collective ownership of. Ghostbusters was a 30 year old IP that was in development hell the entire time, and desperately needed a fresh take to stay relevant. The story from the jump was written to include a diversity of people and perspectives because ghostbusters was a FRANCHISE.
Cherry pick all the facts you want, movies and by in large American culture is defined by Hollywood and it was Anglo centric for decades until now because white burgers spent generations running away from intergrating with black people. Now neoliberalism has given minorities enough disposable income to start generating their own ugly bigoted causally racist media. Buckle up because porky has only just begun.

I bet you are not even asian, just some white liberal sjw weeaboo getting butt hurt.
Real asians don't give a fuck about whitewashing.

...

It doesn't matter if I'm Asian or not, Hollywood will continue to capitulate to minorities on idpol and ultimately chip away at the Anglo centric culture that was being produced until now.
And that's what really eats at you, but remember idpol divides the proles, so it shouldn't matter which idpol porky panders to to you but it does cause your triggered

...

Bwahahahahahaha

Fucking kill yourself american scum who fight over Idpol but has a "Supports our troops" sticker on the car. I bet I'm the only asian in this thread

It was a vanity project by Paul Feig to signal to his beta hipster peers what a tolerant feminist ally he was. And piss all over decades of efforts to get another installment in a famous series that actually succeeded outside Hollywood in 2009, with the original cast and screenwriters. Seriously, play it, it's not just the 3rd movie we didn't deserve but got anyway, it's good vidya.

Even during the depths of anti-black racism, no possibly EVEN MORESO then, white Americans have always voraciously consumed black popculture. The fact that Asian popculture is so influential in the US in spite of the tiny size of the Asian-American minority, also indicates that if Africa ever gets its shit together, the combined effect with the US's large African-American minority on the media industry would be enormous.

See, a legitimate complaint would be that it's a reboot of a highly successful intended-trilogy whose last (2nd) installment ended on a cliffhanger.

>here are proofs of anything I say

US military occupation forces don't have a very good reputation, especially in decades-long ones like Korea & Japan:

No it wasn't, that something the butt hurt alt right made up, it was because the contract regarding ghostbusters IP allowed Murray and others tremendous creative input, something's the studios didn't want. When the contract expired and the studio was free to make the film as they saw fit they pulled in Feig

The most famous musicians and artists doing black culturally inspired work have been WHITE! From Elvis to Eminem, stealing someone's culture making millions while simultaneously supporting soft apartheid policies isn't intergrating with them lol

It's not "black culturally inspired work", it's american culture. You're supposed to be all the same nation isn't it? Isn't there any black person doing country or bluegrass?
You americans are all racist as fuck especially amongst yourselves.

Its black culture because it was formed almost whole cloth from black culture and society. Even artists themselves recognize it as such for the most part. Rock and roll, jazz and rap are all black culture. It saw it's American culture is to imply that that these forms of art aren't heavily inspired by whites to keep black people from sharing the freedoms the the rest of white American society did.

*To say it's American culture is to imply that that these forms of art aren't heavily inspired by whites to keep black people from sharing the freedoms the the rest of white American society did.

Capitalism certainly took it out of the original team's hands, but it was pure hipster white male guiltmongering that added the SJW spin to the project that entered production.

Fuck no it's not American culture, there isn't no American culture, it's just watered down bastardized asspects from other cultures stitched together. Nationalism is a spook anyway.

Wrong again, it was an old ass irrelevant IP that NEEDED a fresh take. All the sperging out white guys did over it of course of seized on by Feig and the studios marketing team, they'd be fired for incompetence not to.

you can put your shitposting flag back on we all know it's you

...

There are other bombing remakes without the SJW problem, like The Lone Ranger and The Mummy, there are even some where the SJW angle was largely irrelevant either way to the film's performance, like Fury Road. Ghostbusters was quite simply virtue-signaling overreach by an autist auteur.

It's fucking ghostbusters you triggered twat, not the gospel.

There is a planned sequel for ghostbusters, so it didn't bomb, it did exactly what the studio wanted it to do, appeal to the prejudices of an underserved demographic (tween girls), it just didn't have crossover success with other demographics like the original did, something most likely to be fixed by Feig because he even admits he didn't take the lore seriously.
Aykroyd is a savant when it comes to bullshit like ghosts and demons, he runs MUFON a UFO non profit dedicated to proving aliens have visited earth.
Aykroyd is like the Tolkien of urban legends and ghost lore. Which is a big reason why the original was such a success.
Feig didn't appreciate that, so the threat didn't ring as true.
The other 2 movies you mentioned will never get revisited.

prove that or fuck off.

Been doing that throughout the thread.

This thread is too american for me to understand it.

Nope. is my first Ghostbusters-related post in this thread.

Falling for Hollywood accounting this hard.

There will be a sequel.

Just because Hollywood accounting says a film lost money doesn't mean it actually did.
See Hollywood accounting
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hollywood_accounting

Industry concensus is that this film lost $70M minimum, probably well north of $100M.

As for a "sequel", the statement in your link is old news. Current rumors are swirling around animated productions with more direct control by Reitman. And even in the (presently unlikely) event a live-action feature does happen, Feig is almost certainly canned:

It's like movie studios don't only make their money on tickets sales, almost as though a film can still be wildly profitable through licensing and spinoffs, it's almost as though Star Wars was more valuable as a license then a film.
You really need to get your info from some place other than mundane Matt on how businesses work.

This film is, by all accounts, a disaster in terms of tie-ins. Toy sales are a joke, the game flopped, DVD/BD/broadcast/streaming is weak. About the only financial "success" vaguely associated with it is an uptick in home video sales for the old movies.
