Agreed. There are some stories where it makes sense to have a diverse population like if a story takes place in a major city or something but I enjoy learning the history of other cultures. So if I watch a mini series about Scandinavia in the year 800ad it kinda ruins it to have a multiracial cast for “reasons”.
Is a new age brain washing crap, I never looked at a kung-fu movie or arabian nights expecting to be represented. That is ridiculous. Even the idea of representation depends entirely on what you identify most with, You can be black and watch a movie were all the characters are black and not feel connected to any of them.
I identify more with being a father then the color of my skin, I would like more father and son stories but that does not fit the leftist skin deep diversity standards.
That was less diversifying and more One Man's Quest for his Waifu.
Because the entire history of it was James Cameron watched the OVA in the 90s, loved it so much he immediately bought the rights, and then waited for technology to improve enough to do it justice.
Which, I think is how it should be done. Actual fans of the source material attempting to adapt the work with the obvious passion being made obvious.
This has absolutely already happened, with American remakes of Asian stuff... But yeh, they haven't, umm, "reverse marketed" them, back to Asia, so much yet, so when they do, it'll be "interesting"...
I have a gut feeling that they are going to start diversifying Asian movies, specifically Korean and Japanese.
People enjoy Asian cinema and anime too much so they must ruin it
Exactly. Everything must be curated and diversified until every media is exactly the same. Only then will "diversity" be achieved.
It would be funny if it was not depressing.

There's a shitload of female feminist/Tumblrina types who are into kpop and k-drama. I'm 75% Korean, 25% Japanese, it's only inevitable.
They already have, with stuff like Alita Battle Angel and Ghost in the Shell.
Wasn't Alita pretty decent tho?
Yeah, I liked it. I was just pointing out that it's an example of "diversifying" originally Asian media.

I thought it was fine but I do not know the source material.
