Why would there need to be clarification? Her name is Motoko Kusanagi in a story set in a Japan-like country.
I've never read the manga completely because I dislike the art very much, and the tone too kinda, so I didn't know it was speculated he was a man, do you have a scan I can check? In all the other mediums she's clearly a woman just with a fake body, and obviously the option to change to a male body if she so decided, which Batou suggested her in SAC, why would that be any different in the manga?
I don't care about AoT, but it was pretty dumb that they cast the cast they cast, but that doesn't justify all pointless race swaps.
It just so happens that, in this particular IP, the whitewashing can be justified because they're using full body prostheses.
Assumed by who? And why would there need to be clarification when she has a Japanese name, with peers that also haveIt's assumed. Just saying, her origin is never clarified in the manga. In 2nd GIG, it's set in stone.
This is the first I've heard about the manga implying Kusanagi is male, I don't recall any clues to this at all. And it's been a while since I read it, but I seem to recall at the end of the manga when she was in the male body, she had trouble walking, for obvious reasons.
That's the only clue? That also happens in SAC.It's cause of that weird lesbian sex scene and her female lovers. It's speculated by readers and those are the only clues.
Highly doubt it, if anything they'll give her the 2nd Gig outfit or her ninja outfit.Just give me ScarJo in the SAC outfit and I'm a happy camper.
It's not about xenophobia, my overly progressive friend, it's about the story.I think the use of a western lead can be justified by, "Who gives a xenophobic ****?"
Ah ok, thanks for explaining. I didn't think much of it since she also had many boyfriends lol.It's cause of that weird lesbian sex scene and her female lovers. It's speculated by readers and those are the only clues.
Pretty much.and I'm probably more worried about the director than anything at this point lol. I'll still watch it and hope that it's good.
It's not about xenophobia, my overly progressive friend, it's about the story.
Like I said, in this case the story allows it, but pointless race swaps, of ANY kind, are, and will forever be, retarded.
Yeah, just like how video game movies can't get a real director...a real shame, so much potential here that'll more than likely be wasted.Pretty much.
I'm already expecting a mediocre watered down blockbuster, like most anime adaptations.
I would say "hopefully it'll be good" but I know better.
Just give me ScarJo in the SAC outfit and I'm a happy camper.
Race fealty is retarded. And I think that's the first time I've ever been called progressive (overly or otherwise).
White Panther movie when?Race fealty is retarded.
Warcraft may be the hit we need to get good videogame movies. That one is looking good.Yeah, just like how video game movies can't get a real director...a real shame, so much potential here that'll more than likely be wasted.
I didn't care for Will Deadshot to be honest.
C-lister whose race isn't actually a factor, I'm ok with it.
It's very different when you're talking about Anime movies, usually with all-Japanese characters, and themes and commentary strongly and deeply rooted in Japanese culture and/or history.
Very much like Black Panther, that character has "race fealty", being an African king of an African nation, but that's retarded right?
