double standard much people? i mean goku is white in the film when clearly goku was meant to be asian before dbz

It's okay just as long as you don't have a Chinese actor play a Japanese character. Mixing your Asians really pisses off the weeaboos.

sure:) i mean superman is an alien but he's caucasian and if he was african or asian, people b**** about it
now if an irish man for say, is casted as superman no one would care because he's still caucasian but all im saying is people really have double standards when they say "who cares" when its their race who is acting for a specific character but when its a different race, they b***** about it

I don't care what anyone says, color is important when making accurate casting choices. Not race exactly, but color. That's why the new Punisher guy, Ray Stevenson (even though he doesn't seem like a great choice) can fit the role even though he's not American, or Christian Bale as Batman, etc. But if Ja Rule were to play Superman, not only would America riot, it would be stupid and ridiculous.
 
The simple fact is that iconic characters have qualities that are instantly recognizable. You wouldn't expect an African American actor to take on the role of Superman, regardless of talent, unless of course DC was doing an alternate universe version of said character. Just like it's unrealistic for Pamela Anderson to play Storm. It just won't fly.

P.Diddy is an obscenely wrong choice for 007, not because he's African American, but because he's an arrogant media whore and his personality is not Bond worthy in the least.

your right
double standards :coolshades:
 
I don't think it is a double standard because we're not talking about a job interview, we're talking about accurate portrayal of characters with established physical and cultural traits, like Fayt mentioned. How would it fly if Matthew McConaughey were to play Bruce Lee in a biopic?
