Exactly, like there was no explanation as to why she was upgraded into a white woman. They didn't even give the original her any face time. Just a quick shot.
Scarlett Johansson to star in "GHOST IN THE SHELL"
- Thread starter Optimus Prime

Because a white man designed the robot.
Major could've been black, its irrelevant to the story because it's just a robotic shell. But asking why the mother is asian
Ur trying to act like I'm slow for asking this question. The dude who was her OG was an old Asian cat, half her fukking squad was Asian. It just didn't come off right to me.
I'm not saying her mother should have been white. I'm saying regardless shorty should have been at least Asian-ish.
It looked weird.

Movie wasn't bad, imo. 
Thinking about copping it on blu when it drops
I do wish I went to the 3D showing instead of the 2D

Because Hollywood is scared as fukk of having Asian actors headline their movies.

Precise and cold hearted
Kinda shocked this movie flopped so hard. And that retarded Lucy flick banked. Strange world.
Lucy was started from scratch with a written story ghost in the shell... Was well...
They had to know there was gonna be backlash...

Like this shyt was only in theaters for two weeks....
just watched the movie and liked it 
thought the acting of scarjo was pretty good, visually it was gorgeous 
But when I checked box office mojo I was kinda chocked how bad it flopped.
And the same thing will happend to akira.
As for the whitewash they had a big name as a headliner and it still flopped hard could have gone with a japanese one instead

bought the movie on amazon streaming, I still really fukking dig it man. Scarlet killed it and the visuals are sick. The movie is certainly flawed but the fact that I enjoy it on a rewatch is more than can be said for more acclaimed films.

Don't like the way she walks tho

Not surprised just the depths they go to keep the main character white was hilarious and trying to pacify the asian community they threw out a bone by making her parents asian made it more ridiculous. I just saw this on Kodi last week and not only did they make her white but they turned her asian boyfriend into James Darmody from Boardwalk Empire
The movie was awful as expected but man that shyt was just beyond hilarious to me.
In an interview with The New York Times, the director of the 1995 anime Ghost in the Shell Mamoru Oshii supported Johansson's casting, noting "The Major has a Japanese name, but she's a cyborg. Her age and background are unknown, just as much as her nationality.Not surprised just the depths they go to keep the main character white was hilarious and trying to pacify the asian community they threw out a bone by making her parents asian made it more ridiculous.

I'm not trying to defend white-washing here but within the context of the movie it's not outrageous that the major is white, that's just her shell, she's a fukking robot, the outside could be anything, but her ghost is that of a japanese woman. Of course hollywood is going to attach some big name to a movie like this at an attempt to make more money, now whether that works or not is obviously up for debate since this bombed (probably would've bombed regardless of who was in it), but Scar Jo killed the role.
