The fact that they didn't do it in the past is relevant because they only felt the need to do it when the source material called for an all Asian cast. Is that going over your head? They didn't trust audiences to watch a film about Asians.

"Kids need to see characters that look like them and share their background. Always having to relate just based on personality isn't enough."

[this movie comes out]

"BAAAWWWW BUT WHY CAN'T AMERICAN KIDS RELATE TO JAPANESE CHARACTERS???!!!"

(Anonymous) 2014-11-22 10:48 pm (UTC)(link)
you have missed the point, lowly anon

(Anonymous) 2014-11-22 10:41 pm (UTC)(link)
If they didn't trust audiences to watch a film about Asians, they would have...cut out all the Asians.

(Anonymous) 2014-11-22 10:47 pm (UTC)(link)
That's like saying watching a Will Smith movie means that white people would have no problem with all-black films.

(Anonymous) 2014-11-23 12:32 am (UTC)(link)
But white people don't have problems with all-black films. They watch them.

(Anonymous) 2014-11-23 12:59 am (UTC)(link)
Not really. Most of the are targeted mainly towards black audiences.

(Anonymous) 2014-11-23 01:17 am (UTC)(link)
"targeted mainly towards" and "appeals to" are two totally different things.

(Anonymous) 2014-11-22 11:44 pm (UTC)(link)
There's still Asian characters there, in a predominantly Asian setting. Sorry, but I just can't get on board with this manufactured outrage over black and Latino people being included alongside Asians.

(Anonymous) 2014-11-22 11:48 pm (UTC)(link)
They're not being included alongside, they're replacing them. There's a difference.

(Anonymous) 2014-11-22 11:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Right, that's exactly how adaptations of obscure comics work.

(Anonymous) 2014-11-22 11:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Not if they're white.

(Anonymous) 2014-11-23 12:08 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah that's why they had a black guy lead in Guardians of the Galaxy... oh wait.

...How would they include other major characters alongside the existing ones? Turn it into Big Hero 12?

(Anonymous) 2014-11-23 12:32 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe just keep the characters Asian?
greenvelvetcake: (p-p-p-poker face)

[personal profile] greenvelvetcake 2014-11-23 12:46 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, keeping all the characters Asian is a great way to include black and Latino characters. Good catch.

(Anonymous) 2014-11-23 12:58 am (UTC)(link)
Why do you have to? They didn't feel the need to add Asian characters to Princess and the Frog, did they?

(Anonymous) 2014-11-23 08:20 am (UTC)(link)
They didn't add any black characters to Mulan so there's your 100% Asian Disney movie, go for it!

(Anonymous) 2014-11-23 02:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Eddie Murphy as the jive-talking dragon.

(Anonymous) 2014-11-23 03:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Black people as reductive stereotypes.

(Anonymous) 2014-11-23 04:00 pm (UTC)(link)
"That movie we made almost twenty years ago should be enough for to fill our Asian quotas. Deal with it!"

(Anonymous) 2014-11-23 01:25 am (UTC)(link)
How many are being replaced? Is this like "invasion of the body snatchin' niggers?" You look around and find that suddenly you're surrounded by black people and you know that they want to turn you black as well? "Join Us" they say in one voice. "We has watermelons" they say.

Or is it that only a couple of people have faces that no-longer match the homogeny? Cause I if the latter I suggest you calm down and give way to just the slightest shade of progressiveness. (if the former, run. Run for your life. They're coming after you. And you know they can run faster than you.)

(Anonymous) 2014-11-23 01:31 am (UTC)(link)
Nothing says 'progressive' like replacing an Ainu person with a blonde white guy.

(Anonymous) 2014-11-23 01:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Because diversity means including white people, too?

(Anonymous) 2014-11-23 02:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes we definitely need more white people in films.
