Marvel Issues Statement On Whitewashing Due To Dr. Strange Film, Twitter Responds (It Backfires)

I believe Ras Al Ghoul is arab.
He was played by Lian Neeson
If you were ok with that then this shouldnt bother you imo. Not talking about you, just in general

It's not the same. Ras Al Ghul wasn't arab in the movie, and his base was in asia lmao

If they had Liam Neeson wearing tradional arab garbs and riding camels then yes it would be as bad as this lmao

They could've still called the character the ancient, still had it be a white woman, and had zero controversy if the didn't have his bytch made up like an asian.

I heard by either next year or the year after, they're going to eclipse the us as far as box office importance

That's been happening already. Transformers has made a billy everytime because of them despite sales going down over here every new release.

As expected Disney stans in here

Ancient One is changed-

Mandarin is changed-

Rhodey goes from lightskin to darkskin in Ironman mayne-

Banes puts in work for 95% of the movie but turns out to be simp- PhD level thesis is written on his character and how that ruins the rest of the movie, trilogy, and DCWB as a movie company.

they could've gotten asian woman to do that

stop being stupid, she's dressed like a goddamn monk doing kung-fu and she's in asian

they character is called the ancient one, so the wiser and elder of all the monks is a white woman from another land lmao, ok

Yea I meant 4 my bad 4 was actually lower than 3. I expect that trend to continue as long as Michael Bay is involved.

Nick Fury was black in the Ultimate Universe. They chose to use that version of Nick Fury because he was the more badass one.

And the reason why the Ancient One is white is not because of the Chinese people but because of the Chinese Government.

Nothing...NOTHING occurs over there without their ok. The "people" have no say in the matter. Zero. If you don't believe me, ask a FOB Chinese person about Tiananmen Square and see how their body language changes.

I don't think Asians have a monopoly on bald heads or being monks or even kung fu. I think that stereotype is what they are trying to avoid.

It's already here China jumped over the US in terms of Box office importance. In every major studio greenlight meeting Chinese viewers are their main concern. If the Chinese government doesn't like a certain scene or a how a Chinese character is portrayed they have the power to deny access to the film. I'm concerned about the slippery slope effect this could potential cause for other films. Hollywood motto If the dollars are right we will portray you in any light as you please.

Ok....I'm trying to stay out this one but I'll just say this...the Tibeten thing was mad racist when Doc Strange was first made. I have no problem with a woman taking the role but it's no secret that over there China and Japan are pretty whitewashed. No reason they couldn't get an unknown asian actress whether Chinese, Japanese, Taiwanese, or anything else besides Government interference. Marvel is a powerhouse that has made stars it saved RDJs career and revitalized it, it made Chris Evans, Hemsworth, and Scarlett Johansson household names though she was known already. It helped her get Lucy to do well at the box office and made this fat guy on Parks and Recreation named Chris Pratt into an action star. Politics is the only thing stopping them from stopping boundaries and miss me with that bullshyt about stereotyping like they couldn't just alter it a bit. Just plugged in another white person for a role is all they did. Baron Mordo being black isn't a big deal because the average person doesn't know who the hell the character is anyway and he'll ultimately be a bad guy so I'm not expecting much development until proven otherwise. His race has nothing to do with the character like Rhodey doesn't as he's known as being in air force and not much development. Of course I've seen crackers with that dumbshyt " well what if they made Black Panther into a white guy" Crackers please that wouldn't happen because his culture and race directly had to do with him being a black man . Money is root of all of this and end of the day Marvel caved to that instead of changing the game for the better and instead playing it safe by just bringing in another white person. It is what it is though
