How the fuck is she red sonja? She looks like she can barely hold a butterknife. Once again Pale Skinned and Red Haired characters are getting a Blackwash from Hollywood
shareYep, Hollyweird is just trolling fans again. This casting can go the way of Noah Centino as He Man. Maybe we can stop this miscasting, too.
shareWatch some Leftist jump out of the bushes yelling "waycist!"
At this point I can only sit back and laugh at all the idiot Centrists and Moderates that were warned the black-washing wouldn't end, but would actually get worse. But nope, they kept justifying and defending all the race-swapping, and now a character not only known for being a redhead but has it in her name is now being blackwashed... Ahahahaha.
The hurt and disappointment is so palpable it's become facetious at this point.
That's why they keep troll casting, so when the backlash happens they can say "We told ya, America so waycist!"
shareWhat Ethan van Sciver said about Marvel comics is equally relevant to the rest of the entertainment industry.

What he says at 1:24-1:32 pretty much encapsulates the problem.
Disney hates you.
Warner Bros. hates you.
Hollywood hates you.
That's what I was wondering. Sonja is supposed to be Amazon-like, this girl is petite.
shareYou aren't going to get an attractive woman with the physique to actually handle a heavy sword. Just isn't going to happen. Since Red Sonja is blessed by a goddess, I can buy the character not looking like a steroid freak. I think the character should look athletic and sexy. Hannah's okay for that. They could have gone with Sofia Boutella and that would work too. I don't like this idea of not making her a red head though.
shareBullshit Brigitte Neilson did fine and looked like the character. Red Sonja isn't black this is just another blackwashing of white characters
shareI thought Brigitte Nelson was awful. She had no charisma or presence at all. It's like the producers said "tall model, that's good enough'.
Hannah isn't very "black". Her skin looks about the same as an Italian or light skinned Hispanic. Depends on the lighting, but if you look through her pictures at IMDB she doesn't look very black to me. Its not like they went with a dark as night Somalian in the role.
Where is the reporting that she won't have red hair coming from? Have the producers actually said that, or are people just assuming based on the actress? They could easily give Hannah red hair, and I think they should.
You can hire somebody athletic to play red Sonja even by WWE Standards
Hollywood should stop casting skinny women in action roles
Red? Looks awfully swarthy to be red anything.
shareis she still playing red?
