Lol! Really? Half of the members on this site were ready to burn down Hollywood last summer when they announced Henry was cast as Snakeeyes.
This movie has been nothing but frothing outrage for one reason or another. I’m at least happy the complaints are less asinine now. I would rather see people getting bent out of shape for the wrong body type/muscle shape vs the pearl clutching over a race change of a fictional character based on a lump of plastic. |

I just hope this movie is successful no matter if it's not accurate to the comic...

Look I'm sure they are not gonna do it this way, but you know what would have been kickass? If they start the movie up with SE, SS, Stalker, Collins and the other two being a six man ranger unit that runs into the taliban. To modernize the vietnam stuff. And then on the way home from being WIA he loses his family and goes to Japan. The movie ends with hard master dying, storm shadow escaping and snake eyes recruited to gijoe. Larry Hama told this story best and I would have adapted it seamslessly without changing too much stuff and it still would have ruled. Maybe amped it up here and there and make it so that a younger destro was arming the taliban.

Its more based on his character from the comics. I mean i dont care who plays se as far as the fighting when hes masked etc but he is on eof the most iconic joes and has always been caucasian so IF he is unmasked, show in a flashback, etc etc i am HOPING they stay true to his comic counterpart Though given todays climate i highly doubt they will.

That said, Hollywood has cast whites in place of Asians plenty of times, so maybe we owe 'em a few. More than a few at this point, actually, as Asians are really the most marginalized group in U.S. films. I mean, you won't see an Asian as the lead in a Hollywood movie unless they're playing a martial arts master or the villain, and that's really not fair. Yes, Snake Eyes is supposed to be a white guy, and even Larry Hama has said his being white is central to his character, but I'm sure that won't matter in the movie's storyline and the dude runs around with a mask on 100% of the time anyway, so whatever. The character has 7 seconds of character development in the last two movies combined so obviously Hollywood doesn't think anything of him beyond "oh, he's a cool ninja." Believe me, the casting bugged me at first too (and I'm pretty sure I bitched about it early on), but it is what it is. I'm more concerned that the actor has the physique of Pee We Herman, but that's mainly because I was raised on 80's action flicks where everyone was 'roided up and slathered with baby oil. But that being said, Henry Golding is still pretty fucking wimpy-looking and I guarantee the guy knows absolutely nothing about martial arts. This movie will suck.

But Iron Fist IS a white guy. Or was that your point?

I don't care at all whether it's a "good" movie or not. I only care that enough people watch it to justify a few waves of proper Joe figures (that aren't 6" tall.) They could resurrect Old Dirty Basrard and cast him as Snake Eyes, as far as I'm concerned.
Edit: Yes, I would totally buy Old Dirty Snake Eyes.
