I just heard of this and it looks god awful. Spike is Asian, Jet is black, Faye is not even a little sexy.
At least Ein is still a dog and not a non-binary troontastic autist. They are saving that for Ed.
From Singapore. Also, really, really ridiculously hot. Again, she is supposed to be larger than life, amazing, just mindblowing. And they fucking fail again to please meh women who are jealous as fuck, to make them feel better, to make Faye "realistic".
Jesus - how many good looking Singaporean girls would kill to be able to do this role? Singapore doesn't have a problem with this leftist garbage yet they replace her with an incredibly plain looking woman in her 30s.
Unfortunately they do. They have an Elizabeth Warren-esque leader(who changed race to get votes), and the other candidates dropped out of the race. Soooo Elizabeth Warren-esque won the election.
I felt so betrayed by that one. Honestly I am completely turned off by that universe now.
The crazy thing to me is that there were perfectly good places they could have introduced blacks if they really wanted that, but they just threw them everywhere.
Random black knight, random black people in a village, black elf, and make sure we get a black dwarf in there too for good measure. It’s just absurd. And that’s before we get to the butchery of the main cast…
I’m convinced now it is because they don’t know how to create an interesting original character, so they MUST do race swaps because otherwise the black one would be inferior to the main cast. It explains what they are doing to the superheroes as well.
Yeah I think I was just that disappointed, because honestly Henry Cavill was a good casting choice. It's like, ok, you understood that it was important to have someone that actually looks like Geralt to play the character, and that's why you picked him instead of some skinny asian guy, but you felt like you could mess with Triss, Jennefer, Fringilla, and all of these other important characters?
Maybe if CD Project Red comes out with another game more in line with the books my opinion will change, we'll see.
thats what i do for the disneywars garbage, eberything post 2013 doesnt exist, it was bob eigers gay gangbang fantasy, none of it was ever filmed, thankfully. we could've gotten Luke guzzling green milk if they had!!
When your response to the question of "what makes the character interesting?" is "they're [progressive stack placement]", you admit openly that there is NOTHING interesting about the character. It is a coarse physical description, on par with "well, what's interesting about them is they have two arms!".
Every single invention, innovation, character design, character redesign, and character critique done by these CalArts dropouts starts, line one, with "they're [progressive stack placement]". They have no ambitions, no personalities, no quirks, no dreams, no fantasies, no desires, no fears (or if they do, they're much less important traits). All they are, is "black", "gay", "woman", etc. Single word descriptors of coarse physical characteristics. Of course they can't write an interesting character.
Because if you think that's a character summary, you're the most racist, sexist, homophobic person on Earth. "Oh, they SAID 'they're black', that means these three hundred character traits, which are all endemic to all black people forever everywhere!". And those CalArts rejects ARE that racist, that sexist, and that homophobic. They DO think "he's gay" is an entire dissertation of fixed, immutable characteristics.
Not hard with Ein around, but yeah. Jet is my favourite character in the original, so I am really disappointed now. It just shows how they don't care about Cowboy Bebop, they just want the love people have for it, but change everything about the story itself.
It's Netflix. You thought even for a moment that it wouldn't just be them dancing around using the IP's freshly-skinned corpse as a skinsuit, wondering why everyone seems aghast?
They managed to make the whole damn character black EXCEPT FOR THE EYES. At this point, I can only assume they cast him specifically to make it look as wrong as possible.
Who is asking for live action versions of anime. This isnt exclusive to americans either, Mob Psycho got turned into a soulless blob and FMA combined crappy CGI and japwashing magic Germany. At least there they tried with blonde wigs.
live dn was good/// oh your talking about netflix yea it was some gay edgy teen drama with endless violence. dn wasnt about the violence they dont get what any of these animes were made special because of. og live dn was pretty great tho, ya'll should go check those ones out.
For what it's worth, ADV tried for years to make faithful, live action versions of Cowboy Bebop, Akira and Neon Genesis Evangelion. Which was really a way to get around the fact they lost out on the rights to Bebop and Akira, and to hang on long term to Eva.
This is no longer the same IP despite the name. It's not just about the name, it's about the content of the story and the characters as they were created by the original creator, plus the perception of the fans at the time of watching.
This is disgusting, and hope it flops hard. I can't believe they're doing this to Japan who has nothing to do with black people. If they touch Goku, I FUCKING SWARE I WILL FLIP MY SHIT.
They cant make goku black considering his race is a bunch of stupid fighting obsessed assholes who take over every neighborhood they're sent to, occasionally chimp out and attack everyone nearby, get called monkeys, side with a galaxy wide money lender race, and goku specifically is characterized by being an idiot who will risk everyone around him just to get a fight and is an absentee father.
It's still anime, and it comes from Japan. Yes, technically they're aliens, but so is Superman, but that's not an excuse to be race swapping and changing around characters. I hope you're right and they stay the fuck away from it.
They already race-swapped Goku once in the live-action Dragon Ball and used the excuse "well he's an alien so he doesn't have to be Asian", so yes... they will likely try again but this time turn him into jogger.
Ah yeah I didn't watch that. I don't think it was done to promote an agenda though. Still bad, but it felt like everyone knew it was bad, unlike today where people celebrate this kind of race swapping.
Live action Goku already exists, I watched it in the theatre, alone. It was...okay? I mean it wasn't good, but I also can't definitively say it was bad.
Ah right, I sorta remember that. I skipped it because it just looked horrible and it got bad reviews. I don't consider that to have been done on purpose, meaning it didn't feel it was done for "woke" purposes. It was just a bad attempt, which is different than changing races to promote an agenda.
The actual Cowboy Bebop is a very well-done series. In its own descriptors, it's "less of a space opera, and more of a space jazz", so if you HATE the space opera genre, even with a bit more action and... well... Bebop, then you're not going to like it. But otherwise, it goes through enough genres while still staying true to the main plot, story, characters, and feel, that everyone will find SOME episodes of it they'll like. (in example, you get buddy cop genre episodes, noir thriller types, 24:00-style counter-terrorist investigations, horror, fast'n'furious vehicular chase/race kind of episodes, etc). Both sub and dub are stellar, and I'm a subs-only person most of the time saying that.
I doubt the Netflix adaptation will live up to the original. The cost of the setpieces alone Netflix isn't going to pony up, let alone the cost of solid directing and acting, shoots and re-shoots and re-records to make sure everything is just right... But if you're bored, for sure, check out the original when you get a chance, it's a piece of internet and anime history.
I love space opera! I’ll have to check it out then. I always heard good things but couldn’t guess what it was about from the title and was too lazy to investigate.

I can tell from this casting it’s going to be shit. After Witcher I won’t watch anything from that disgusting company with their weird fucking black fetish. Either do it in an intelligent way without harming the characters we know, or don’t do it at all.
This scum has no respect for the source material or the fans.
Don’t forget the Jewish guy with the Yiddish surname and Jewish fro who carries an Israeli gun being played by a South Korean guy. Honk honk.
See you, Space Jew...
More 👏 jewish 👏 erasure 👏 please 👏
We must hide amongst the Goyim.
I just heard of this and it looks god awful. Spike is Asian, Jet is black, Faye is not even a little sexy.
At least Ein is still a dog and not a non-binary troontastic autist. They are saving that for Ed.
I also want to die now, thanks.
And Faye is supposed to be Chinese isn't she?
From Singapore. Also, really, really ridiculously hot. Again, she is supposed to be larger than life, amazing, just mindblowing. And they fucking fail again to please meh women who are jealous as fuck, to make them feel better, to make Faye "realistic".

According to my friend, she switched races to be Indian... heh!
They may not be western woke, but damn hell they are trying!

Going by the current IMDB cast list, they don't have Ed listed. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1267295/fullcredits
I also can't believe that they thought a "6" would be a good fit for Faye.
im pretty sure faye is a tranny now.
Dem lips tho
Have you ever seen lips as big as that nig? Holy fucking shit they are a third of his face.
George Floyd lookin' ass lips
women pay good money to have injections this big
IQ lower than the family dog.
Not hard with Ein around, but yeah. Jet is my favourite character in the original, so I am really disappointed now. It just shows how they don't care about Cowboy Bebop, they just want the love people have for it, but change everything about the story itself.

This is a quality post.
hE wAS cODEd BLACK!
Didn't I see some far leftists actually say that about him?
Evergreen photoshop: https://img.ifunny.co/images/f9438d480493787a0e2fbc2fa1133baffdd7f164b2b4f6a35e9c4983e012e55e_1.webp
They can't keep getting away with this.
Sam heidstein is behind this photoshop, i KNOW it!!!!
Hundreds of thousands of white gruff looking guys like him, and they choose a black guy rando that looks like he took one too much meth.
They managed to make the whole damn character black EXCEPT FOR THE EYES. At this point, I can only assume they cast him specifically to make it look as wrong as possible.
looks like that skyrim npc's dad

Don't watch the live DeathNote or Bleach. It's like whoever's doing this shit has never seen more than,"Google first 10 images of said show"

Is anyone surprised?
Every Netflix meeting:
Netflix Exec #1: Hey I got an idea! Let's make that person black!
Netflix Exec #2: You, are a GENIUS!
Exec #3: And a woman.
Exec #2: Man we are on fire today
Can't believe they did Jet dirty like this.
He doesn't even have red hair
I never watched this series. Is it good?

He literally looks like an apeman I saw in a cartoon only that one had gray hair.
If you still pay for Netflix you are either some dumbass boomer who have been living under a rock or you are a pedophile enabler.
