Most characters in CB were pretty racially ambiguous anyway, so the casting would have probably sucked no matter who they got.
Cowboy Bebop was always shit anyway
>muh jazz and noir aesthetic but in SPACE
It's basically Firefly for weebs, so double shit.
Yikers.
D R O P P E D
yeah thats a yikes from me
not an argument
I presume this is bait, but if it isn't, the real crime here is Ein not being a Corgi or corgi-mutt of some kind.
I think they want a bigger dog because it will be easier to film with actors than a small one.
I NAMED THIS COWBOY BEBOP BECAUSE I LIKE COWBOYS AND WANNA BEBOP BOODY-BOO BOO BOP BOP HEY COWBOY BOPPITY BOP BOP LOL SO FUCKING RANDOM
Ein should be played by a cat. Enough of this specist caninetriarchy!
xDD
why is it bait? its the actual casting
>age of actor playing spike: 46
>age of actor playing vicious: 37
>age of actor playing jet:41
JUST
Ironically the nog cast is the one I have least problems with. He's got one of these exaggerated cartoony faces that fit the anime aesthetic.
I unironically like that black guy
but who will be Ed?????
Let's be honest the only character whose casting mattered was spike and they picked someone old enough to be his father
Still in disbelief in how hard they've dropped the ball with this short unathletic middle aged nerd
>blue-eyed black guy with a derby
Jesus fucking Hollywood. kek
he looks like what would happen if you deflated the elephant man's head
>how gooks and chinks think they look
>like Ryan Gosling
>how they actually look
does the nigger have naturally blue eyes or is it lenses?
>"and don't forget to cast wh*tey as the bad guy, make sure he's extra ugly too!"
And you'll still talk about it and probably still watch it.
>algorithm casting
So Jack Black is black now?
>Nailed it
What the fuck was everyone in Cowboy Bebop supposed to be anyway? I always saw them as
Spike:Jew (think this was disproved) or some sort of hapa
Jet: swarthy white guy or maybe part middle eastern/spic
Faye: Green eyed Hapa from Singapore. Didn't she also say that she was part Gypsy in some episode?
Ed: Spic. They'll probably make her trans in the netflix series, because well, that's what you could expect from them
Vicious: white
Julia: white
Spike: Japanese
Jet: Chinese
Faye: Anglo
Ed: Half Black
Vicious: White
Julia: White
Firefly is literally Outlaw star retard
>future post-planetary colonization world
They're all unrecognizable mutts, user.
Spike and Jet were white. Not sure about Ed. Faye was Asian, not hapa, and I don't think we were supposed to take her gypsy statements as being literal. Julia was white but Vicious was a bit more ambiguous.
Are One Piece crews white? Is Goku white?
It's very weird but the actor who plays Jet looks like him in a very bizarre way
Out of the entire cast somehow he's the least offensive.
From the One Piece live action thread >From Oda himself:
>Luffy (Brazil)
>Zoro (Japan)
>Nami (Sweden)
>Usopp (Africa)
>Sanji (France)
>Chopper (Canada)
>Robin (Russia)
>Franky (America)
>Brook (Austria)
Literally the only casting I agree with is Bushmaster. He's a good actor. Everyone else looks and acts like dogshit, especially Cho
Spikes a german
Jets probably honestly another german or English/American
Faye another English person
Ed some sea monkey.
Vicious some european
Honestly, I'm 100% okay with this casting.
They don't visually resemble the characters 1:1, but I can totally see them embodying the characters. Cho can do sarcastic pathos, and he'll look amazing pulling off Bruce Lee moves, Mustafa Shakir absolutely has the Smooth-as-butter-stern-as-steel thing that Jet needs, and Daniella Pineda's tooth gap is distracting, but she's got the same kind of damaged-goods, pain-is-fun look Faye has.
And I really don't see any TUMBLR CASTING complaints, because the original cast was ambiguously ethnic anyway.
I'm cautiously optimistic.
With some proper direction, this could be amazing.
I was optimistic as well until I saw the showrunner
dios mio...
Spike already has a tanned skin and afro, they should've make him black instead.
As someone else who also never even heard of cowboy bebop until five minutes ago I agree this casting is fine.
Cho the fifty year old comedy actor really pulls off the young dumb full of cum martial artist, the nigger who is noticeably younger than cho really will play a great older mentor character to him and the heavily tattooed mexican really looks like an upper middle class sheltered chinese girl who lived in a mansion in singapore in the nineties. Can't wait!
I've never seen anything of this, is it good?
I've had it with these Hollywood kikes, I mean, how could they can a husky to be a corgi, it's not natural.
FUCK HUSKYS
AND ESPECIALLY FUCK JANNIES
>spike was loosely based on some Japanese actor
>get a korean to play him
I wonder how anally annihilated 2chan must be right now?
I assumed this was Yea Forums trolling. Is it real? There is nothing wrong with Spike being asian, but why on earth John Cho? Because he's one of the most recognizable?
Who wants to see a middle ages mole faced Spike? Sorry Cho, but come on.
Cho is a very good actor too
Yeah but he's 46 playing a 27 year old. It's terrible casting
Are you new here? Older people play younger people ALL the time.
This nigger is old enough to be a grandad. No amount of r/hapa incel logic will ever convince me that Cho is a good choice for playing Spike
>racism
Yip, thats a yikes and cringe from me.
its real
The creators of cowboy bebop literally based him on a japanese actor you tards. He was always asian.
>The producers of Cowboy Bebop have been quoted as saying they chose the name Spike Spiegel because "it sounded cool." It is stated in the special features accompanying Cowboy Bebop The Movie: Knockin' on Heaven's Door that Spike's appearance is modeled after the late Japanese actor Yusaku Matsuda, especially as he appears in his famous role in Tantei Monogatari.
What more do you fucking want? He's based off a japanese actor and the creator chose a name based off it sounding cool.
That's it.
she cute
Yea dunno how people fuck that up
>What more do you fucking want?
sex intercourse with ladys
A CGI monkey.
so confirmed for no martial arts scenes. :(
>casts a black guy to play Jet Black
haha
With about three cuts per second to cover up shitty choreography, inept actors and stunt doubles.
I only dislike John Cho and the doggie as casting choices. The other ones I dunno. I´ve never watched any work from them. The woman is almost a physical incarnation of Faye though.
>the guy who uses a fucking Katana is a FUCKINNG DEPLORABLE WHITE MALE
This is depressing.
>jet
>ein
This. I'm not mad they cast an asian as spike but couldn't you find anyone better than fucking Harold?
There must be hundreds of asian dudes under thirty five who could have been given this role instead of some washed up never was comedy guy in his late forties with no martial arts background or physical presence whatsoever
This. There are plenty of attractive charismatic Asian actors that fit the bill better for Spike. Nothing against Cho or his acting chops but this just screams low effort rushed job from the casting crew.
>make the character with the slantiest eyes out of everyone white
What did Netflix mean by this?
>head of a chinese gang
>uses a katana
he ain't asian, hes white bro :^)
White man bad!
Knowing the Japanese he was supposed to be Chinese.
The fuck
>Based on a Japanese dude
>Cast a Korean
Can Netflix get any more racist?
He is clearly an incel weaboo.
No white dude could represent him well enough. Not good enough actors
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
CB is something that mixes jazz, Hong Kong movies, Wim Wenders, Dumezil and still comes out as original and emotional.
Lol what
cho?...
CHO AS SPIKE!!!!????
FUCKING SPIKE!!!???
THE MAIN CHARACTER OF ONE OF THE MOST ICONIC ANIMES EVER!!!!????
SERIOUSLY!!!!!???
THE GUY FROM HAROLD AND KUMAR?
WHAT THE FUCK WERE THEY THINKING!?!?!
There are Dylan, lupin an Marlowe as well. Stop spamming you autist. CB characters are like the show, a mix of things.
faye's a jap right, that was a Japanese high school in her flashback wasn't it
Which one is Bebop? I guess the guy is Cowboy... do they marry?
IT"S NOT THAT HE'S ASIAN.
IT'S BECAUSE HE"S FUCKING CHO. THE MOST BETA RETARDED LOOKING IDIOT ASIAN ACTOR THEY COULD'VE PICKED.
FUCK YOU STUPID RETARD, YOU KNOW THERE ARE PLENTY OF OTHER ASIAN ACTORS THAT ARE MORE SUITED FOR THE ROLE.
FUCK
FUCK
FUCK
Controversial opinion.
Show should've ended with Hard Luck Woman. It was the emotional climax of the show. Ed going on her own with Ein, Faye finally finding her home and identity, Spike and Jet coming to terms that they care for people other than themselves.
Good Folk Blues, despite being two episodes, is really dull and has bad pacing issues. Honestly almost every episode involving Spike's past is dull. The only real highlight is the song "Blue", which is a great song that is almost Great Gig in the Sky inspired.
The Bebop were the friends we made along our journey.
Lmao what are they gonna make the elders look like
Gandalf?
They are in fact not thinking
Yea Forums is so autistic about casting, looks good to me
wow look at all that european aryan features in there, i can just feel the jewish skull shape by looking at that picture.
this is how insecure whites are, the main character literally got their japanese name changed so he could be white, but they still want everything else to be white. that's some funny ass shit.
Ah. Thanks.
>his name is Jet Black
>so he must be black
Dude, this for ages. Fucking drives me BONKERS when the internet completely misses the point of an argument and ignore any corrections.
I mean, I don't mind Cho. He's alright and all... but he's being cast outside his range.
how do animators fuck this up?
The ep of Love Death Robots with the fox lady had it too. The guy and his dad were Chinese using a Katana to hunt down demon ladies. The fuck???
Is that chris from the wire
He unironically looks a weird Jet, I have no problems with him compared to Cho
The show would have been a good conclusion for Jet and Faye, because they came in terms with their past. Not for spike.
And The Real Folk Blues has too many good things to pass.
youtube.com
youtube.com
plus muh Kilimanjaro
You know they'll fuck up every iconic scene, right?
>expecting anything else from Netflix
You people should've learned by now.
When the black guy playing jet seems like the best casting choice, you fucked up
At least cast someone that fucking looks like the character, and not the character's older gay uncle.
Seeing Cho in Searching... he's just too fucking old now
I am not going to watch this shit brotato. I don't even think these people get what people actually like of CB. Didn't they say no blues/jazz? It means they have no clue about atmosphere.
Also Spike and Vicious confrontation.
>"You finally have Become The real Folk Blues, Spike"
>"Part two"
He's the only good actor in that picture though.
so they cast the dog but they wont cast Edward?
Who'll play him?
Do curly japs exist or is this a perm?
Great movie. Influence acknowledged in CB itself.
BTW essentially this, too - want more cowboy bebop? Watch/listen/research its influences. Is literally all good stuff.
i wouldnt be surprised if they just made thei own story for the show.
Man : I knew this crew, these seven people. They used to work well with with each other. Especially the Chief Engineer and the other technician guy, that was quite a bit older. They were all kind of raggedy and wild, and a bit weak on safety protocols. Also the Warrant Officer was very beautiful, you know. And all together they turned everything into a kind of an adventure. And they liked that. Just an ordinary trip down to Thedus for raw ores was full of adventure. They were always laughing at stupid things, like say, a broken compressor. They laughed and they didn’t much care for anything else because all they wanted to do was work with each other.. But pretty soon they started to worry.
Woman : ‘Bout what?
Man : Money I guess. The Bonus Situation. Not knowing when the next cheque was coming in.
I think they will do a re-imagined Spike Plot (which is stupid on its own) and they will try to fit in in Faye, and possibly Jet. The rest will be used for worldbuilding and cameos.
CGI monkey.
what are you talking about? L was from england and being pale was an important feature of his which indicated that he does not go out often. He was supposed to be white and no one would even complain if he was light skinned asian but now they just disregarded all that and casted a black guy for those "progressive" points
At least Ein is not a pitbull.
>2002
>used to draw characters from cowboy bebop
>people ask what they are from
>get mocked for liking it
>people would pass you and go 'bebop'
>2019
>have you seen cowboy bebop user its so good its a japanese animation like gilbi
>they are making a live action so hyped
Unless these are same people 17 years apart, I have no idea what you’re complaining about
What is it with Hollywood and casting fugly women lately? As if making shit movies wasn't enough.
So you just like to be an hipster, you have no genuine appreciation for what is good or what is not.
I think she is cute enough. Expected worse. But I see your point.
For sure to give Faye justice you need someone like Linda Carter.
But they don't make them like that anymore.
your little nich hobby became mainstream grow up wierdo
Or bitbull i.e. pug.
he's also based on this.
Spike was pretty obviously mixed with his last name and affiliation with an asian gang, i'm fine with a caucasian or asian actor playing him but they have to be able to pull of spike and John Cho can't, he's just the only asian actor in hollywood and they decided that was important here.
I think most asians don't have a deep voice, and everyone is going in expecting toonami voices from the characters. I think together the cast will look good height wise and if they're set on one guy being jet for example they need to adjust spike and so vice versa. I'm talking out of my ass because honestly I don't know why Netflix dropped the ball so hard on this, maybe they have trouble casting unknowns and keeping things under wraps for their sinkhole budget works, Netflix is a babby studio that's just trying to mirror its user base which is kids who want to lash out
>Ein as a Husky
it's aight
Also Lupin III.
Spike borrows from Lupin, Jet from Gigen, Faye from Fujiko and Vicious from Gaemon.
In aesthetics way more than in actual character, mind it.
uncanny
They'll just age Spike up and say he was in the gang a lot longer before he left.
Its mostly likely going to actually be a pitbull
me in the back
smilin on u
fuck you
>head of a chinese gang
Keep dreaming, Vicious.
Some of them do have naturally curly hair, but in the 70s they went nuts for perms, which are still pretty popular nowadays.
ya dumb? there's tons of Japanese and Koreans with naturally wavy hair.
this
can someone explain the context of this video?
he looks white as most of anime characters for some reason, its either asians want to be white or they think they have way more white features than they actually have
Someone with a neural disorder spilled her bottle.
underrated
>RICED
he is from a Chinese Triad though and woolongs is the currency in the show. It seems like China dominates the space race and the mc is Chinese.
Same bro i always loved CB and always thought jet was black hes the only good casting imo. Big burly ugly guy with a gravely voice
Imagine being the guy that in 2019 served the coldest take possible.
How could they fuck up Vicious that bad?
They picked THAT FAGGOT to play spike?
>He's Chinese
*a Martian hapa , clearly
>in the show "woolong" is the currency
>comes from a Chinese triad.
>Chinese triads irl only accept Chinks
You weebs are not allowed to watch anime. When it's made only for Asians. Stick to Jewish hollywood.
> flcl live adaptation coming soon
>irl
>Yea Forums trying to justify Harold's casting now
Anime is not for whites or niggers. When (((Hollywood))) adapts anime, it makes it pozzed. Changes the main character to white or a nigger. If not, it doesn't cast decent asian characters from the source material. Go fuck yourself weeb.
>Woolong comes from Chinese tria
Nope
>Chinese triads irl
Are not the syndicates from cowboy Bebop
>Spike
Is based off of a white detective from the movie "the Long Goodbye" and neither Vicious or Julia or anything close too looking Asian meanwhile Spike obviously does? He has a mix of European and Asian facial features and was born on a different planet - my guess is hapa then.
>Chinese triads irl only accept Chinks
This is about Cowboy Bebop, not the real life triad.
Of course you're some dipshit /int/ nigger lol
Can someone justify live action remakes to me? In fact, go ahead and justify remakes in general while you're at it, although live action remakes are by far the worst, most pointless pieces of shit one can choose to produce.
youtube.com
I've listened to this one so many times, the original versions sound weird to me now.
That sounds like shit.
The only people who watch remakes are consumeristic s oyboys that spend their entire lives consuming media anyways. It's a cash grab preying upon the most pathetic aspects of society
>Is based off of a white detective from the movie "the Long Goodbye"
I thought he was based on a japanese actor
Sometimes they're good.
See: Suspiria
Sometimes we yearn for more from a work, and considering the time culture has had to digest it, build upon that and make it more realized.
Most of the time yes it's about shitting into peoples mouths for money.
bro, no one cares that they cast an Asian, they care that they cast fucking Harold from Harold and Kumar. get it through your skull
I've seen other pictures of the actress with short hair and she's just fine casting, not great, not terrible. Jet was always destined to be a black dude and that guy looks cool. The husky is a mother fucking sin.
Asian guy as Spike, fine, but HIM?
>Woolong
Does that sound like USD to you? Chinese clearly won the space race.
Chinese irl don't let non-chinks join the triads. It would be the same in this japanese cartoon.
Well anime isn't for non-Asians. You should stick to Jewish films instead. Like Schindlers List.
When are we getting live action Trigun so we can get this mashup made into live action
youtube.com
He's based on several characters/actors actually.
I need to see them in costume to make a final judgement.
Yusaku Matsuda
I can't decide which casting is the worst. They're all so fucking bad.
LOL
Look at this skull and tell me it's not asian.
There is no skull. It’s a cartoon character.
a mix of white and japanese actors. Hence why an eurasian like Keanu reeves also seems the most fitting. A full Ainu japanese or a full swarthy jew/italian with asian features (like e.g. Ezra Klein) would have also done.
With that said, I also feel that Cho was miscast here, he doesn't fit the body type and demeanor at all. Guess that's the problem when you don't have a wide range of asians in jewlywood
>It would be the same in this japanese cartoon.
You should actually watch the anime.
You're a fucking retard
t. has never drawn before
Spike should be on the taller side and a bit lanky and wiry. Also while handsome he should not look like a male model or anything. I always thought a young Jo Odagiri would look the part.
looks like some hapa guy I know irl, uncanny
It's a cartoon character when its convenient for you.
Yeah a more asian looking hapa would be perfect.
the Bushmaster guy should play Abdul Hakim
it's not blockhead Korean that's for sure
Looks kazakh imo.
asians think they look like than meanwhile most of them are round and pan faced
He looks like a Jap. Japs have those V shaped faces. John Cho looks nothing like this though. They should have gone with a Jap. John Cho has name recognition but he doesn't have draw.
Keanu was too old so they got some random asian guy who is also too old? Ok
>asian man playing a guy named "spike spiegel"
