Sheesh. I see this thread going down into a quick dumpster fire.
I'm happy. Figures are being made. A movie is actually coming out. I imagine some of you wake up angry the sun came up on time. |

To be honest, I'm so burned out on Snake Eyes as a character at this point I don't really have any excitement to see this. Then I remember a couple years back I was so burned out on the Joker as a character that I had less than zero interest in a Joker film. Then I saw the Joker trailer and it had my full attention. It ended up being one of my favorite films that year.
I guess at this point I should just reserve my judgement until I see the film. I've been pleasantly surprised before.

I'll steer clear of the demographics/diversity "debate" here, since that "ship has sailed" a long time ago*.
However, despite a lot of comments to the contrary, Úrsula Corberó is quite an attractive woman, actually (as is Samara Weaving). That promotional photo definitely doesn't do her justice. Plus certainly doesn't help that the cheap choker she's wearing makes it appear as if her head has been re-attached with duct tape**. People's perceptions of Corberó may change dramatically when they see her in action (she's awesome in an intense Spanish crime drama called "Money Heist"). Back to that choker for a second, both Baroness's outfit/Scarlett's body armour look kinda tacky, imo. Veering dangerously close to 1987 "Masters of the Universe" movie territory. *And is never, ever "returning to port". (Sorry, white people.) **One time, a maintenance person joked about using duct tape, and my grandmother had never heard of it***. How is that possible? ***The duct tape.

Yeah, I could have worded that more clearly (it's past 2AM here). She'd never heard of duct tape. I don't even remember what the joke was, actually.

My wife once told me, "All these years and I thought it was duck tape!" Then she starts thinking about who all she has mispronounced duct tape to.

He was also justifiably upset that the only Asian (first at the time) in the line was evil, so he gave him a redemption arc. Yet a Snake-Eyes origin without Stalker is the worst aspect of this film to me. Aside from Stalker being the best, they've removed the brotherly love of Snake-Eyes, Tommy, and Lonzo. Those men would die for one another. We need that kind of message in times like today, not more woke segregation. Quote:

Although it has made me think a new concern. Can anyone here who has paid more attention to the leaks than me confirm or deny if Snake-Eyes and Storm Shadow will not actually be biological brothers in this film? Has this possibility come up in conversation? It's too crazy... right? Not that there's any such thing as biological or brothers. Sorry to offend anyone. Quote:
My opinions do NOT have to agree with yours. You may not care who snake eyes is under the mask but i do. To me, and perhaps many others, his reveal as a caucasian male who was trained by the arashikage was significant because no white person had been given that honor so yeah its a big deal to me to see him done over as a more asian the caucasian man. And Pedro pascal is not white. Hes latino. He may have the more lighter latino skin tone but he is still clearly not caucasian.

Yep. 99%, anyways.
Ultimately, I REALLY hope he gets his face burned off and vocal cords destroyed; no “vow of silence” crap. I can even wait for SE2 to happen, if that’s the plan for the disfiguration, although I’ll still be irritated if it doesn’t happen by the end of this one. Not that there's any such thing as balls. Sorry to offend everyone! Quote:

Maybe this film will be smashing.

Well there you have the "rabbit hole". You can be both "Asian" and Caucasian" at the same time because race is a scientifically meaningless construct.

Agreed. So why do we have to discuss it so frequently? Can we not just talk about toys and the toy-centered media? Every movie-themed thread devolving into the same 10 people stating the same 10 views on the subject over and over is getting to be tiresome.
I'm not pointing the finger at you specifically, by the by- you just happen to be the latest post, and I'm not one to multi-quote.
