isn't spike supposed to be white, though, or at least eurasian?

And Faye's

>whitewashing bad
>blackwashing good
Getting pretty sick of this shit to be honest with you

from their point of view they've been wronged so all blackwashing is justified for the time

lol

He's Japanese as confirmed by the creator of the cartoon.
Spike is based on a specific Japanese actor.

Live action cowboy bebop for me will always be firefly

Watanabe is a stupid virtue sginaling cuckold. I'm sure he's fine with this.

spike spiegel is not an asian name. also spike is like 25. that asian dude looks 42 at the least

Well actually he's martian, he is BASED off of an Asian actor. That's what was stated. His name and look all say otherwise.

>look
He looks like an anime character. IE not human. So you can drop that argument right now.

he's also based on Bob Dylan. Out of the 3 main protags Faye is the only one who is obviously asian. Valentine is not her real last name

/thread

>Spike is a martian
Earth doesn't exist in Bebop apparently

shut up nigger.

Disgusting. Cho is too old and not a hapa.

I've never heard that one. You're gonna have to source me.

yeah but rock is litty who cares

Why's he gotta be a hapa bro? Why can't you relate to the character regardless of their race? :^)

I think from anyones view the way minorities in the western world were treated/viewed can be seen as wrong

I don't even remember where I heard it.

Literally besides the point.
Dude said Spike isn't asian. He is.

It's in the show. She calls herself an oriental beauty.

Is /pol/ too stupid to know anything about aspect ratio? that whole image hurts to look at

I should also add I don't give a fuck about the casting decision because I don't intend on ever watching this Netflix trash.

This guy has straight hair is a manlet and in his 40s. It doesn't fit

At least make him jap or chinese, christ the koreans have nothing culturally impactful to the entertainment industry besides k pop

He's referring to the fact he said about Spike being based on Bob Dylan which he could not provide a source for.

Keanu would have been fucking awesome in the film, and would have made it kill it in the box office, instead we get fucking Harold (formerly Kumar).

I don't even like Cowboy Bebop the anime.
I also don't own or use Netflix. Why the fuck would I watch it?

ok but his point is that the casting is racist and he's right but not for the reason he thinks. it's racist because they put literally no thought into and went with the most visible asian actor they could think of. the guy isnt even the right age.

STOP POSTING THAT IMAGE
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Oh please. Most asians look the same from 20 until 50.

>implying SJWs care about ethnic distinctions and don’t think outside of narrow American racial definitions

Absolutely disgusting.

Koreans are like Japanese but more square

He didn’t say Spike should be white, someone not paying the rent in that ol’ noggin there user?

And more plastic.

Because of all the threads advertising it on Yea Forums

Of coursh

Nope, Spiegal is an ancient German Chridtian name. If a gun makes him Jewish then my phone makes me chinese.

There are no many Japanese immigrants living in a city compared to Chinese/Koreans

but it's okay to make Jet a nigger

What's wrong with it?

you can literally see the dude's wrinkles in the OP. he's old as fuck. your "asians don't age" meme doesn't apply here

The problem is that guy is too old, ugly and on the manlet side

Spike Spiegel is not a japanese name and he doesn't even look asian. How the fuck is he asian? Honestly, Vicious looks more asian than him.

Imagine being so weak willed, you watch something you hate because Yea Forums talks about it.

Good. Fuck gingers.

makes sense, koreans are the japaneses black people

All capeshit and Star Wars is allegedly hated by Yea Forums but it's all anyone here watches or talks about. Same with whatever by the numbers Netflix shill crap. Wait until this is released, you'll see I'm right.

>How the fuck is he asian?
Because his entire look is based on That actor.

There are way more examples than this

Time for kino

I know SOME people will watch it. Most won't and will read the thread for the memes that will be generated.
Same thing happened with star wars. Most people here did not go see TLJ.

And what white actor has been cast as someone who is originally black?

Nobody's fucking name makes any sense. Anime names are based off whatever shit sounds cool to Japs. His rival's name is "Vicious".
>b-b-but he has WHITE FEATURES
He literally based off a japanese actor Harold was a shitty cast, but assuming Spike is white is retarded. Cope harder and have sex white weaboos.

But that guy looks nothing like Spike.

WHITEWASHING BAAAAD
BLACKWASHING GOOOD

To me blackwashing is bad for blacks because they aren't allowed to bring a black character to the screen. I tis superficial. It is an unnatural way to give black actors roles. They should be allowed to bring authentic black characters to life.

Name a better Japanese actor than John Cho with the acting chops for this role

he can actually pass for white

Wasn't Keanu oringally behind the push for a hollywood Cowboy Bebop adapation?

What part of any of his features resemble Spike? The most obvious one - his hair. It isn't curly, it's straight downwards. He resembles as much of Spike as that nigger they casted to play L in the Death Note movie.

Tak Sakaguchi.

inb4 spike is now overly emotional and talkative

So Conan is right. You are indeed blind.

Every second korean household owns a talmud, meanwhile the jew fears the samurai

Really makes you think....

The dude playing Jet is like 10 years younger than Cho. how is it possible to fuck up this badly?

Conan? Who the fuck is that? Anyway, this is how Spike should look relatively wise.

Attached: 1486839034552.png (531x848, 320K)

The problem is that no Asian actors have the charisma or characteristics of Spike. The dude looks more like a cross between Ben Affleck and Ed Skrein. Expecting some asian dude to personify that doesn't really work. The Asian guy they got looks more like Spike's high school math teacher.

that femboy? yeah no. Clearly John Cho is the best they could do without whitewashing the character

I won't. I have made a point of not financially supporting or even viewing any Western anime adaptation or collaboration since Dragonball Evolution. I cancelled my Netflix over them starting to make original productions with Japanese studios. Anime is the last medium uncorrupted by Hollywood bullshit, I'm not going to financially contribute to its Jewing.

What does he look like? A lanky curly haired dork with a lazy attitude and carefree personality.

You didn't even know who it was before a google search.
You don't actually know any Japanese actors so the argument is moot.

One look was all I needed, doesn't even pass the eye test

Look at this pleb.

I'm gonna watch the trailer. There's a 95% chance of me being entirely disgusted by it and after that I will proceed to shitpost here about it until it finally comes out and gets completely shat on by the critics, just like it happened to Death Note.

Apparently to cuckolds he looks like a slant eyed jap even though to 99% of everyone else he doesn't have fucking Asian facial features.

The hollywood tendency to blackwash ginger characters is so weird. I simply can't find an explanation as to why gingers are targeted so much.

He doesn't even have human features.
Stop saying anime characters look white when they don't even look human.

>Stop saying anime characters look white when they don't even look human.
Depends on the anime and how it is drawn. There are very heavily realistic animes/mangas that are drawn like actual human beings (Berserk, Vagabond, Death Note, etc), there are the moe-type shit animes with the little lolis or the heavy shounen tip with big googly eyes that generally do not resemble anything. And then there is the semi-realistic animes (like Bebop) that have a semi-realistic style to it. With anime features and realistic features intertwined.

If you want to see how an asian character looks like, check a look at this. I mean, c'mon, you wouldn't mistake this guy for a white person, would you? Asians have heavily slanted eyes, Spike does not. This is literally the only thing you need to put this thing to rest on whether Spike is asian or not. The rest - like his hair, is just a bonus. Asians have extremely straight hair. I've never seen an asian with curly hair. Asians also look heavily white, with yellow tint. Spike's skin looks Mediterranean-like. And the name... A japanese guy with the name Spiegel participating in the Chinese mafia, yeah.. right

It's called casting reparations. Time to pay up for all the white-washing in film history.

isn't Spike supposed to be white anyway?

He's also based on Elliot Gould in his nor films, who is jewish. Regardless, being based on a another character doesn't translate into copying their ethnicities.

This in no way debunks my claim, you idiot. A fuckload of characters are based on characters from different ethnicities but that doesn't mean they get to keep being that same ethnicity.
It doesn't even make sense for any main character other than Faye to have a clear, defined ethnicity since CB is set on a future where everyone is muttfied. The fact of the matter is that Spike has 0 stereotypically asian physical characteristics.
>Read the thread fucktard.
There's nothing on the thread that proves the creators designed Spike to be asian. Learn what a source is, you 2-digit IQ retard.

Because it's one of the rarest and most distinctively White traits. If you look at who owns every major Hollywood conglomerate you should know their plan by now. In case you don't:

The Eurasian-Negroid race of the future, similar in its appearance to the Ancient Egyptians, will replace the diversity of peoples with a diversity of individuals. [...]
Keep in mind this was written by "the father of the European Union," not some nobody.

>Imagine actually thinking this when you know for a fact that the creator based Spike's looks on a famous Japanese actor.
I need a source on this rather than just take your word for it.

Nice meme but that doesn't star any Japanese actors.

>Spike's appearance was primarily based on the main protagonist of Tantei Monogatari, portrayed by famous Japanese actor Yusaku Matsuda
You could have just done a google search on Spike Spiegel.

Appearance =/= ethnicity.

>Japanese
Why did they cast a Korean then?

It's on Wikipedia but still, it's a stupid argument.
Almost every character on the Metal Gear series was based off David Bowie and yet nobody is asking for them to be all played by some British dude in the movie.

>You could have just done a google search on Spike Spiegel.
You could have just backed up your statement instead of sending me on a goose chase. Would be easier, no?

The Man With No Name is based on Yojimbo.

And my leading question instead of a refutation is...?

No one is going academically catalog all cases of Japanese whitewashing on here for you. But look at Indian Hitler and whatever and you’ll see a similar phenomenon based on the ease of casting.

Because to hollywood "all asian rook arike."
Are you fucking kidding user?

I asked what the example was cause I never played Left 4 Dead so you are going to have to elaborate instead of just giving a title.

You can tell that guy has heavy Jōmon ancestry, casting not just a Japanese person who doesn't have that specific phenotype, but someone from a completely different Asian nation is unironically a racist "arr rook same" mentality. A wavy haired White/Jew/Eurasian would look more similar to him than a doughy Korean, and the fact they value techically being the same race over specific ancestry or accurate appearance is, again, unironically racist.

He isn't. Spike looks nothing like Tantei outside of having "big hair". That's literally it.

>Are you fucking kidding user?
See and .

Keanu is quapa, not hapa.

You're right.
The difference is Spike was created to look like Matsuda where as Fistful of Dollars just copied the plot of Yojimbo and didn't aim to copy the look of the main character.

Dumb fucking weebs outraged over literally nothing. Kill yourselves.

Keanu would have been the perfect cast. He didn't get casted for two reasons, though:
>Too busy
>Too expensive

Or he didn't want to be associated with something that is very obviously a train wreck.

>The difference is Spike was created to look like Matsuda
You keep saying that, but you can't provide any source for it. And if it is, then they did a damn poor job at it.

>compared to anime standards he has extremely squinty eyes.
Bruh, Vicious has slantier eyes than Spike. Does that make him giga-asian?

The thing about anime adaptations is that nobody is ever pleased with them.
With Cowboy Bebop I was rooting for some Jewish dude to play Spike, now I know that many of you were hoping for Keanu Reeves and that would have been just as good if not better.
Netflix obviously went with "some Asian dude" after the Ghost in the Shell (aka Pork in a Shell) fiasco, which was ironically justified in that case.

But Cowboy Bebop is the most westernized anime I can think of and to cast this Asian dude as Spike speaks a lot about the production as a whole: It's gonna be yet another Netflix bag of dirty diapers to be added to the dumpster fire they call "original programming".

It’s pretty funny/sad how people get into a huge uproar over casting for movies based on Japanese manga or anime because the actual Japanese don’t really care about it anywhere near as much as San Fran hipsters seem to. All the outrage about Johansson playing the Major was entirely created in the West.
Can’t wait till they get around to do a Jojo movie and people freak out over Jonathan being white.

>joestars

Jotaro, Josuke and Giorno are half jap half white (giorno dyed his hair earlier, later on became blonde due to dio powers); for josuke and jotaro it's also visible in how they are drawn imo

Most of the Cast of Berserk.
Most of the cast of Legend of the Galactic Heroes.

He actually was one of the big forerunners of the original adaptation project. He just got too old by the time everything was available to portray a 20-something guy, so he let go of the project. It's for the best, since that gave him the space necessary to work on John Wick.

Here's a crazy idea:

How about cast Caucasian actors as Caucasian characters, cast Black actors as Black characters, and cast Asian actors as Asian characters?

"Spike Spiegel" (very Asian-sounding name, I know) is obviously meant to be Caucasian/mixed Caucasian. He is NOT East Asian and was never meant to be.

>dough-faced "funny" man
This is bad casting regardless of race.

I agree. He does not seem right for the role at all. I can't really see him as a charismatic bounty hunter with a troubled dark past.

I always thought Keanu Reeves would play Spike to perfection. Someone like his type, anyway.

Lets be real, this will be NOTHING like the original. They're gonna cheese it up with one-liners and flashy CGI just like all the other crap produced today, safe bet if you were a fan of the anime, you won't enjoy this.

It's Dragon Ball Evolution all fucking over again.

People will bitch about the choice of actors (which is natural since the choices are shit), but they're missing the bigger picture.
>What does turning a finished animated series into a live action one add to the property itself?
Fucking nothing. If anything, it retroactively damaged the value of title. This is just a weak cash grab playing of the original works name and status.

I mean, if it's done right and in the best way, I see no problem with it. If this movie were really kick-ass and authentic to the original and beautifully cast, that would be awesome!

But, it won't be, and it's gonna suck, so, bleh.

what is Yea Forums's opinion on the 1980s- early 2000s Hollywood trend of making black male actors dress as women?

The actor is drag thing is an old trope that goes back to the early days of Hollywood. Bugs Bunny even did it in some of the Loony Tunes shorts...

...that being said, I think it was more sinister. I think the Hollywood executives used the excuse 'oh, everybody's done it at one point, all the greats. Now, step into this slip...' as an excuse to exert power and dominion over their black male underlings to, subtlety implying, "I don't care how big, strong, tough, loud, or how big dicked you naggers are. You work for me. I OWN you."

Also, many of these executives were/are bi or gay, so they also go a sexual kick out of it.

I remember reading some article years ago about how Watanabe grew up right near a military base full of Americans which influenced his life since his parents either worked for or somehow with them pretty much daily. He clearly intended them to be Western.

That's a little different. Pretty sure the Wayans wrote and directed and produced that themselves. Nobody was forcing or pressuring them to do anything, I'm fairly sure.

i guess that is the one good thing that'll come about from this movie

What you theorized there is basically word-for-word what Dave Chappelle said was going on with that phenomenon.

Why didn't they get Rosa Salazar to play Fringilla? She's already working with Netflix on that stupid animated show about puberty. Boggles the mind that a talent like her is wasting away on a stupid cartoon.

Based Dave.

Yeah, real OG said FUCK that, and Hollywood was on his case about it ever since.

There's even a super tinfoil hat conspiracy that claims that 'the Black Mafia' (cabal of richest and most powerful Black Americans, spearheaded by Oprah Winfrey of all people), kept threatening Dave to either change his tone around issues of the black community or to cancel his show. Even one rumor that armed thugs entered his house, told him they were hired goons sent to spook him, and that next time they were coming for his wife and kids. I'm sure the bad deals from Comedy Central/Viacom are all true, but it's another layer of mystery around when and how he left his show the way he did.

It doesnt matter, but if they’re going to complain about asian characters being cast as white they cant praise white characters being cast as other races

I'm Polish and I'm not watching this shit
There already was a bad witcher tv show
I'm not burning myself twice, play the game

Japs are just gooks who migrated to Japan centuries ago and replaced the native Ainu.

My only celebrity story is that I live close to Yellow Springs Ohio and he's frequently there, to the point where people stopped being wowed by it.

based

Can you point out the difference between a yellow crayon and sunflower crayon?

Neither can anyone one else, Asian is Asian

anime characters arent meant to actually be Asian unless the anime actually takes place in tokyo

They are more akin to Disney characters

yeah, on a pirate site as always

Vin Diesel too

That's as stupid as saying Irish = Italian. Just because we can't tell the difference doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

Should still have cast Keanu. He looks younger than fucking Harold.

All anime characters intentionally look caucasian, because that's how the japs want to look like
It's a white world, they're just living in it

Can anyone name one good role that John Cho was in? Everyone I know, including myself, sees him as that shit boner comedy guy that everyone forgot about.

I haven't watched an actual show or movie since 2016, stop me.

you think like a man who jerks off to cuck porn

>Koreans hate the Japanese and vice versa

It's true that koreans are basically bred into hating japan as a ntional enemy, but it's not really reciprocal. Japanese people only hate Korean immigrants, they have nothing against korean culture itself.

I don't have a problem with Spike being Asian. I have a problem with him being played by an actor who's incapable of being intimidating.

Don't be so hurt zipper friend, the Irish are distinctly different physically than the fat faced Italians.

Does the actor have slits for eyes? Than no one will know which rice farming country he comes from.

I haven’t watched season 2 of STD and I have said to multiple girlfriends that I’d give up on comics and video games before I’d ever give up on Star Trek. But god doesn’t want me to be happy so life is at it is let them shit out a season their isn’t anything about cowboy bebop that needs to be said that wasn’t already said by the anime

Spike is a Jew

>wooow, go buy yourself a parrot sticker

firefly isn't anything like cowboy bebop though except for the kind of rustic space wandering aspect.

No you retard, he's based off an Asian actor. Which in no way means he's Asian
Kenshiro was based off of Stallone's looks, you going to start arguing that he should be played by a white man even though he's canonically Asian?

just stop and go back to your fried chicken box, you are certainly not helping here.

people being treated a certain way in the past doesn't mean people in the present should be punished or rewarded. that's silly thinking.

John Wick is actually a no charisma Spike Spiegel. Spike is competent as fuck but also he is a smooth fucker who doesn't care for anything in the world.

thank you for proving my point.

I actually never watch cuck or IR porn ever.

Are you, perhaps, P r O j E c T i N g?

Spike isn't inherently intimidating. He fights like water. John Cho is way to old to play him now though.

fucking hell, that's nice.

Yeah man democrats suck. Tell us something we don’t already know.

>Spike Spiegel
>Cowboy Bepop
How much more retarded can these anime names get?
Also, there'd be no need for whitewashing if there were good Asian actors.

Let's be honest, some Netflix executive probably got his dick sucked which is why there are peculiar casting choices for Bepop.

Yea Forums must have short term memory because last month, Warner Brother's CEO had to step down because everyone found out he got his dick sucked by an actress.

>Warner Brother's CEO had to step down because everyone found out he got his dick sucked by an actress.
who? I honestly missed that shit

He's hundred times more fitter than a Korean manlet as well.

John Cho looks like a beta manlet with the male version of a pernament bitch face.

He must be delusional thinking a pernament scowl and frown on his face makes him look cool or something.

Nah, it just makes him look really old.

To be fair, I doubt any Chinese man alive could get ripped like Kenshiro.

>he got his dick sucked by an actress.

Isn't that literally all of them...all of them who aren't gay? Why is that bad if they're both consenting? It's favoritism, I guess, but that's the nature of Hollywood, lol. Nothing illegal about it, right? Yes, he could've not offered her perks for sexual favors, but she could've not accepted, right? So long as he doesn't act punitively against her rejection, I don't think there's anything against the law about any of this,

he has a weird mousey face

bravo netflix. great casting as usual.

Actually you can tell Asians apart on genetic level.

Some Asian regions have a higher rate of sickle blood cells because that region since ancient times was plagued with Malaria.

One of the reasons sickle blood cells is a thing according to scientists was because of human ancestor's response to Malaria infection, repeated over generations.

yeah i'll probably watch the trailer and the first episode to see how it is

top-tier Chads and bodybuilders totally exist in China, Korea, and Japan. You'd just never know about it, because our Western media doesn't talk about them or show them. Same in America. Is every male Chad/model-tier? No, just a tiny fraction, but they get all the exposure and attention.

>pretending this is surprising
There's been a war, the product of generations worth of social engineering, on ethniticy in the United States since WWII. You're not Polish you're white. You're not Japanese you're Asian. You're not Kenyan you're Black.
This has been party line for such a long time people have been brainwashed.

Reddit hates this casting too doesn't that mean its good thing?

Google Kevin Tsujihara.

Pretty funny. Shows that Hollywood are full of adults acting like movie star teenage villains.

You had the actress threatening 3 Hollywood execs and the 3 Hollywood execs threatening her back, back and forth.

And all 4 sounded whiny and beggy as shit.

The alpha male persona of Hollywood exes is pure myth. They act like tough guys but in reality, they are just overgrown children with money and power and trying to act like the movie version of the Italian mafia

He is a bit too old but an otherwise likeable fella.

Looking forward to this movie

Something is really wrong with Hollywood. They're not trying to make good movies anymore. They've just come up with this weird make-belief war that they're waging on the casual moviegoers. "That's right no more whites in movies! Suck it!", even when it doesn't make a lick of sense.
All it does is diminish the quality of cinema. I hope this moronic behaviour dies out soon so I can watch quality movies again.

That niggers face is not human, I don’t care what you say.

>asian roles
Spike definitely wasn't asian. These people are so fucking clueless.

Asians surprisingly have a lot of gold medals in Olympic weightlifting events.

Yeah, but Asian culture doesn't really embrace stuff like body building like in the West.

Lean and muscular is ideal for Asian culture rather than Big/Bulky and Muscular.

the all asians have slanty eyes thing really isn't that true. a lot of them do sure but if you actually watch chinese, japanese or korean television/movies/mvs and directly compare actors you'll notice there's not that much of a difference with other races.
also i'm a hapa and my siblings and i have bigger eyes than many of my white friends have had

His suit, hair, mannerism and attitude are all lifted directly from elliot Gould in the big sleep

we won't get kino again until after the civil war and balkanization treaties

And those anime characters look more white than not, retard.

The Long Goodbye*

>IR porn
I don't even know what that is, so you're clearly more familiar with that world than most.

I thought he was polynesian

Joseph's his grandad. He's half jap, quarter brit, quarter italian.

It means interracial.

Kenshiro's something like 6'1" 220 pounds
There are few people in the world who could look like him period, without a life time of lifting, god tier genetics, and the good old regiment of tren hard and eat clen

Jotaro is half-jap.
Now that I think of it, there aren't any fully japanese jojo's
I guess gappy would be the closest

Some of the lovers were pure Japanese but the male ancestors of JoJos were European.

I really want this to happen

asians don't like white actors being cast as asian characters tho...

Japan can look more european than other asian races due to race mixing with people like Ainu in the past.

Some Japanese actors have Ainu Ancestors.

Meanwhile, no Ainu in China or Korea or Southeast Asia

This Cowboy Bepop live action would never have seen the light of day outside Netflix

I heard the company that made the shitty Death Note live action has a hand in this Cowboy Bepop live action as well

The company must actually hate anime but are forced to make anime live actions just to pay the bills.

you didnt understood a fucking shit, what a retard.

i love the hair
