Reylos: There is nothing romantic whatsoever about Finn and Rey what are finnreys smoking š friendship goals ššš brotp forever!!! ššš
The precedent that they were probably trying to emulate was Ricardo Montalban as Khan in the 1982 movieāwhich was also whitewashing, by the way, as Montalban was a Mexican actor born to Spanish immigrant parents.
I hope JJ actually listens to Ava and Vic, at least as much for the portrayal of Naomiās character as Johnās. At least JJ shows a sign of giving a shit and wanting to learn, as opposed to RJ who flat-out refuses to admit to any mistakes and makes increasingly piteous excuses.
I donāt give JJ a pass for Khan, though. No matter what the production snafus might have been, JJ bore ultimate responsibility as the director. George Takei was right when he said it would have been better for the Cumbaya character to be a new character separate from Khan.
iām such a sucker for dune but youāre right about it having no content and thatās why i was never able to show my interest on it online
iām hopeful about denis vās dune tho it might give us the material we deserve
The thing that baffles me about these whitewashed roles and roles of the like is that the movies keep bombing. And people keep telling them thatās why. And they arenāt listening to it. Like they obviously donāt care about morals or the harm theyāre doing but they care about the almighty dollar and still wonāt stop or even listen.
Money is just an excuse. White-led and whitewashed films can bomb all the time and Hollywood will keep making them, while films with nonwhite characters can be megahits and somehow there’s no money in them. The point has always been white supremacy, not profit. It’s about the color white, not the color green.
I would say that they are focusing on the Skywalker family, their masters and padawans and of course the main antagonist in each saga [from the same family too]. Solo fits in the middle one since he is the father of Kylo Ren, and we donĀ“t have Chewbacca or Lando or C3P0.
AR2D2 barely fits in the first portrait as the personal robot of Anakin [Again C3PO was left behind], the wrong move was to include BB8 in the third just for aesthetic, since it belongs to Poe and would have been better to include him and Finn instead of the round buddy.
Just remember that this is a 40 years old saga written when the diversity on the media was non existent and focused on white males with acquisitive power. Today they have include a lot of diversity but they are bound to the original characters [the Skywalkers].
So when they try to do stuff like this to sum up the story of the main characters on the whole saga, we are looking at what Hollywood had been working since the
cinematography
becomes a popular way to make money: Appealing to the people who can afford merchandising.
Y’all are really trying to defend this shit hmm?? They got Luke and Leia slapped on their twice lmao thereās no justifying this they purposfully chose to leave out the black and latinx LEADS from their section of the poster and put two white characters on their twice. This poster is a racist flop
You forgot to mention that Anakin Skywalker is two times too!
Silly me how could I forget the other white person on their multiple times! Guess I was in total awe of that fact that some clown with an su icon came onto my post and wrote a multi paragraph excuse for this racist mess of a post!! U sure got me!
You see, thatās the problem. I knew you will forgot too: Lando Calrissian
Jar Jar Binks
Mace Windu
But I understand you are a bit mad since they didnāt include Poe and Finn, and they put Kylo ānearā Rey andā¦
OH.
I get it now.
Enjoy the series, letĀ“s expect more movies and a better representation that people can enjoy without this dumb shipping and problematic stuff. LetĀ“s enjoy the characters as how interesting they are, what they can provide to a history, not just for their exotic looks.
Because as a Latin person, IĀ“m tired of Poe being treated as a fetish for white girls. And IĀ“m sure black and Asian people can say the same with Finn and Rose
respectively.
IĀ“m done with this.
This wasnāt even about shipping you dumb bitch but about how Lucasfilm keeps erasing two leads from their own trilogy in promo material but whatever lmao keep making this into something itās not and trying to ~flip the script~ on me
@kurofeng Asian here and can you not speak for us? Wanting representation for nonwhite people in media isn’t the same as fetishizing them.
Reylows: FINN AND REY HAVE NO ROMANTIC CHEMISTRY WHATSOEVER
Also Reylows: But replace Finn with Kilo and itās peak romance š
Pretty sure anon meant that specific scene, and Iāve seen an ugly-ass edit that erased Finn out of the actual scene to replace him with Kylo too. This isnāt even a new thing with them, theyāve even cropped John out of his pictures with Daisy to replace him with Adam.
