Scarlett Johansson remains adamant that Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow’s death in the Marvel Cinematic Universe should not be undone.
Neither her best film with Ghost in the title, nor the best version of Ghost in the Shell.
Not that I disagree with your point. She has acting chops wasted in MCU.
She wasn’t the problem with Ghost though, at least outside the whitewashing aspect. Probably the best part of it tbh. Movie was just mid all around.
Just a reminder since people apparently still have this confusion; ghost in the shell wasn’t white washed. The character from book one is described as western looking specifically to be able to infiltrate any country without suspicion falling on Japan.
We can discuss why they didn’t white face a Japanese person if thats somehow less offensive than hiring for the look of the android body instead of the original body that died of cancer as a little girl, but that seems even more silly than people that had no interest in the series (or anime/manga in general) getting upset about accurate casting.
Altered Carbon enters the chat.
The show where the whole point was the character was in a different body and how weird that is?
Yep.
You’re right, everyone that doesn’t demand she has sex with a child on screen is a filthy casual. Absolutely absurd of people to base their image of the character on its most popular forms, the movie and anime.
…if people based their image of the character on either the manga or anime, they’d have an image of a white European woman.
That is what both the manga and anime describe the major’s main body as, and depicts it the same.
Lmao
