I'd cast Henry Golding.
shareHalf Asian like Dean Cain would be fine.
shareYou’ve given us nothing to discuss, you intellectually lazy fuck.
Dean Cain, of Lois and Clark, IS Asian.
Oh, such cultivated wording! 12-year-old? Or obliged to the gutter?
shareIn other words, Pete, you have ZERO answer to my criticisms of your lethargic OP, so you resort to argument ad hominem, while completely ignoring the fact that I presented, which is that Dean Cain, of Lois and Clark fame IS Asian and your solipsistic ass did not know that, but you created this topic anyway.
What does “obliged to the gutter” even mean? If you mean that I don’t hesitate to dirty my hands on fecal castoffs as you—who confuse “cultivated,” meaning “planned or calculated,” with the better choice, “elevated,” which means “naturally and readily available” —then you are right. And you speak about “the gutter” as if it were a bad thing. YOU DIDN’T EVEN KNOW THAT DEAN CANE IS JAPANESE AND I’M THE BAD GUY HERE😂😂😂😂😂?
Samurai Superman. If only Toshiro Mifune were still around!
shareTired of the underrepresentation of those with Down's Syndrome. Why can't Soops be played by an actor like that. Non-inclusive jerks.
shareWhy don't YOU discuss?
I am tired of people throwing a topic they DO NOT OFFER their own opinion/viewpoint on, and then telling _OTHERS_ to discuss.
It's like saying 'my lawn is full of overgrown grass, mow..'
Who the heck is gonna be motivated to do anything that you do not do yourself? We can't expect others to do what we are not willing to do ourselves, now can we?
However, because the topic itself is semi-interesting, I will ignore your ALL-CAPS topic and your ONE-WORD post where you demand others discuss something you yourself WON'T.
An 'Asian Superman' - well, Superman is KRYPTONIAN, so there goes that point.
Asian actor to PLAY that Superman? Now, that's a different story.
I have always thought everyone should have the same opportunities in life, regardless of things they can't change, like physical stuff.
Obviously, movies are a visual medium, so sometimes this might be a bit challenging; to combine 'full equality' with 'satisfying audiences visually' is a tough job. A midget playing a giant might be slightly difficult to pull off.
However, kids do not have strict limitations the same way, so when they play, they can easily 'be anything', regardless of their or anyone else's physical body features or bugs.
This means, an asian or black kid can easily play a superman role with other kids, and no one sees anything weird about it. Why can't adults do the same? Why can't we all have the freedom to do, play and be whatever we want? I mean, if an asian man wants to play a historical black woman, why should their physical limitations be some kind of good way to deny them? Is it right to judge the man because they happen to reside in a specific physical body?! Isn't that the VERY DEFINITION OF RACISM?!?!
In any case, at this point, when we have had so many weird things, like female Thor but no Male Black Widow or Male Wonder Woman (well, we did have all kinds of things in comics, of course)... why not an asian Superman?
I mean, why does 'diversity' always HAVE to mean 'blackwashing'?
I would LOVE to see an Asian or Caucasian 'Black Panther'! Why not? I mean, we have had black Nick Fury, female 'Ancient One' and so on. Why can't we do anything to any character, why would there have to be some artificial limitation?
I say go ALL-OUT on this stuff, stop saying 'diversity' means 'black people' - let it truly mean ALL people! Let ANY actor/actress of any age/shape/etc. play _ANY_ character they damn well please! Wouldn't that be freedom? Wouldn't that be true equality? Denying someone a role because of their physical body is just... wrong, isn't it?
Instead of race being important and 'a problem', why not toss it aside and raise important things like your personality, your soul, your character, your humor and so on above this temporary physical stuff?
I say LET white people wear blackface without consequences - why not? Can't we just finally take back the freedoms we let historical monsters take away from us? Modern white people have not enslaved black people or mocked them in blackface like the historical monsters did, so why would they have to suffer?
I also say let black, asian, eskimoan, mongolian, aboriginian, indian, etc.-bodied (remember, it's JUST A BODY, not YOU!) wear ANYface!
Indian wearing 'yellowface' would be something no one would probably even care about, let alone mind. But draw a Manji somewhere and people lose their minds and call you a naazee.
Why is this? Manji isn't even the same as the dreaded swastika. But even swastika only has power, because people GIVE it power. Why can't we take it back, take it AWAY from the naazees and use it for good?
Freedom of speech is something we ALL have, but for some reason, only black people can say the N-word. What the hell is that? There are also many other 'forbidden' words, like 'Porch simian', etc. Why should this be? Can't we have humor about words and call each other whatever? It ain't right..
