Suppose an American writer team has to choose a new direction for the characters that's more Western audience inclusive. For a new Live action or otherwise production , how would they flanderize these four ?
Would the remain even remotely relatable ?Either for anons or even for normalfags or tumblinas ?
Is there even the slightest possibility Shinji remains the lead ?
How would they get them wrong ?
They'll just make them "flawed-but-not-really" like American shows tend to do, instead of having them be actually fucked up people.
I understand it 2bh, some of the shit that happened in that show really wouldn't be palatable to a Western audience.
Shinji - actual faggot
Asuka - strong black woman
Rei - jewess
Angel in disguise - white Chad, fucks Shinji's boipussi
Nerd - white nerd cuck
There was actually a really good post on /r/anime I think about what a Hollywood adaption would be
It would be kino if it was directed by Denis Villenueve and Ryan Gosling was an adult shinji
great why don't go there and don't come back
>after all these years I still have a thing for Rei
I thought I was over all these shits.
shinji - probably the most castable character, but no matter who they pick they wouldn't get his autism right. hollywood can't make his total reluctance to be the hero work.
asuka - probably make her black
rei - i feel like it wouldn't be hard to get an actress of suitable skill for rei, the real challenge would be in what the appearance should be. ostensibly white or asian but i don't know.
kaworu - there's no real person suitable to play kaworu, so it doesn't matter what they'd do here, they'd fuck it up regardless.
Just trying to add to the conversation
literally who is the ginger on the left?
Touji, manga(Sadamoto) gave different hair colors to some characters...
Also live action eva should never be a thing, fuck you faggots
Asuka-nword
Shinji-less of a whiny faggot, more of a basedboy, would be made to look stupid compared to asuka
Rei-"snarky" daria like sjw
Gay angel guy-a lesbian with asuka
Miasoto-only fully white character
Which leads to
Kaji-idris elba
Asuka is a feminist and a #MeToo #survivor
>Rei - jewess
Hot
Shinji will be "troubled Chicago youth with daddy issues" but none of the deeper stuff and implied homosexuality will probably be removed.
Rei will be "that quiet girl who is actually really epic", will probably say sassy shit to Asuna so they can have some forced comedy. Character will probably take a nose dive and her relationship with Shinji not being actual love, just emotional lust. Played by a half and half or a latino chick.
Asuna will be a generic white girl that dresses like a slut and will be "lol so badass gurlpwr!!11!11" Will probably have a scene where she saves Shinji since the creators never read the source and don't get her character, and they'll fuck midway through the film.
Toji will not be an EVA pilot. He will be generic bully a la Flash Thompson. Probably make a racist remark as well and Rei will BTFO him with facts and logic. He'll also be white despite him being the one character they could realistically make brown.
Glasses-kun will be "nerd that gets outsmarted by girl (Rei)" archetype.
Kaworu will not have any homoerotic moments and will be present throughout the entire movie. He will be the dudebro character and probably generic white guy.
Gendo will be played by Idris Elba.
Name changes are as such
>Samuel Ikari = Shinji Ikari
>Rachel = Rei
>Ashley = Asuka
>Tony = Toji
>Kyle = Kaworu
Thank God they'll never touch Gundam or Code Gayass
>they'll never touch Gundam
user...
That adaptation will never get off the ground. And if you're talking about the reference in Ready Player One, that was because the director likes anime.
So they make it into sitcom? Based hollywood
I can't stand looking at that art or those characters
cast asians
>Would the remain even remotely relatable
How in the fuck are any of these characters relatable?
Same, before i watched the show i really despised the 'v' chin type arts or well anime style in general. Still kinda do.
You'd understand if you were more neurotic or at least still in hs.
Japs look soulles.
And you're so full of soul, right
This
These characters are clearly white with white features.
they're not relatable to normalfags
Unironically the only way I could see it working with such casting choices. But , were that the case , it'd have to be a sitcom commentating on Hollywood's tone deafness and abysmal casting choices. Not the show itself.
Sounds like too much work to write for , or even follow something like that , especially since you'd have to reference Eva's plot in somehow . Good luck getting any normie interested.
Asuka is literally German, and who the fuck knows what Kaworu is since he's an ayylmao
Shinji and Rei are clearly asian though (Rei having albino features since she's a fucky clone of an asian woman)
