Over 1800 notes and not one (1) criticism or callout.

The Reylow fandom, folks.

Even if JJ Abrams wanted del toro or Michael Pena to play Khan still isn’t okay because Khan is “a character explicitly described in the episode script of Space Seed as being Sikh, from the Northern regions of India” (via racebending site). Benicio del Toro and Michael Pena are latinos.

The precedent that they were probably trying to emulate was Ricardo Montalban as Khan in the 1982 movie–which was also whitewashing, by the way, as Montalban was a Mexican actor born to Spanish immigrant parents.

Yeah issa no for me. JJ Abrams went to Ava DuVernay for advice and took it and also hired Victoria Mahoney on Ava’s recommendation. Rian is still talking about Russian bots being the reason TLJ was panned. Oh and JJ didn’t cast cumbersome as khan and in fact wasn’t feeling that casting but after del toro turned down the role and the studio didn’t think Michael Pena was a fit he went along with it to keep the movie on schedule. I wish people would at least google before shitting on people.

I hope JJ actually listens to Ava and Vic, at least as much for the portrayal of Naomi’s character as John’s. 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 don’t 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.

Do you like Dune?? It’s one of my earliest sci-fi loves but it’s so hard to find content for it!!

He got the spirit at least šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚

i just saw a headline about how tim*thee charmelon might play paul atreides idk how to feel lmao

The Atreides are descended from an ancient Greek family but somehow have become and stayed lily white through thousands of years of history šŸ˜‚

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 that’s why. And they aren’t listening to it. Like they obviously don’t care about morals or the harm they’re doing but they care about the almighty dollar and still won’t 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.

LOOKS RACIST SCOOB

F-

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 don“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 there’s 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, that’s 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 didn’t include Poe and Finn, and they put Kylo ā€œnearā€ Rey and…

OH.

I get it now.

Enjoy the series, let“s expect more movies and a better representation that people can enjoy without this dumb shipping and problematic stuff. Let“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, I“m tired of Poe being treated as a fetish for white girls. And I“m sure black and Asian people can say the same with Finn and Rose
respectively.

I“m done with this.

This wasn’t 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 it’s 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.

You know in the end of tlj were we finally had Rey and Finn scene of them hug together. Well there is a Reylo art of Rey hugging not Finn but FUCKING kilo run they erased Finn and drew kilo just to have that moment. Geez can they just stop. It’s really annoying how reylow just see a pic of Daisy/Rey with Finn/John and erase him over Adam/Kilo.w

Reylows: FINN AND REY HAVE NO ROMANTIC CHEMISTRY WHATSOEVER

Also Reylows: But replace Finn with Kilo and it’s peak romance šŸ™‚

Pretty sure anon meant that specific scene, and I’ve seen an ugly-ass edit that erased Finn out of the actual scene to replace him with Kylo too. This isn’t even a new thing with them, they’ve even cropped John out of his pictures with Daisy to replace him with Adam.

This is the gif @lj-writes was talking about

Finnrey is platonic my ass

It still hurts to look at it’s so shitty on every level–morally, socially, emotionally, artistically, technically… šŸ˜‘
