Since there are people representing many races in this TV series, why is it of any concern at all when it comes who any character being portrayed by any certain actor?
I've yet to hear any people identifying as black or asian who are complaining about the casting choices of the show. That is, unless you are black, then I've got one complaint in this thread.
I think it is more "twisted from the neck on up" than funny.
When you say "jews", does that mean all of them or just two?
I'd like to, but I heard they were a mess. https://golf.com/lifestyle/caddyshack-original-ending/
Back then, no matter who you were, if you got AIDS, then something was wrong with your moral character.
Look up the history of Hanson's disease (leprosy). Even father Damien who contracted it after years of caring for people in the Hawaiian leper colony was accused of immorality just for dying from it.
Then the American film "The Bridges at Toko-Ri" probably weirded you out too. The nude scene with Holden and Kelley's characters along with their children in the public Japanese bathhouse was tastefully done. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0046806/fullcredits/?ref_=tt_ql_cl
I've been out of the USA several times. This film was completely relatable.
I think you didn't actually watch this film. There was a white spiderman in it.
Wonderful film that would appeal to anyone in my opinion. How does this film not cater to everyone?
I suppose the sandlot kids are playing together because they're friends. The same goes for the "fancy kids".
Hari Seldon was not a significant character in the original series. He appeared in the first chapter then made periodic appearances as a holograph throughout the original trilogy. Gaal was also a minor character. Hardin, the Mule, Gorov and Mallow are the major figures in the stories. Seldon is the main figure in the prequels.
In one of the prequel books Raych was programmed by an enemy to kill his father, but he successfully resisted. This happened prior to leaving for Terminus. No idea what they are going for in the TV series, yet
I've only watched up to episode 3, but I think they're Anacreons.
In the book, the local systems surrounding Terminus were losing their ability to keep their nuclear infrastructure in good repair. They were limited to using nuclear power for their space ships. Hardin was able to verify this by asking their emissaries for plutonium for their reactor even though that element had long been abandon for use in reactors.
The books depicted blasters in the hands of just about anyone who wanted them.
So you went from "owing everything to white people" to "almost nothing" with just a tiny little list from me. How much further will you move the goalposts if someone actually puts some effort into debunking your foolish rant?
You are basing the worth of all people on their skin color. You are very stupid.
Yes, I read the book so I noticed when Rico's ethnicity was revealed. Tell me more about Heinlein's design for Rico's character.
You're lying when you claim that white people are " responsible for every single great piece of literature and film and tv and virtually every single household amenity, cars, tv, computer, internet and planes".
Even a tiny bit of honest research would reveal just how stupid your claim is.
Some stuff invented by non-white people include,
Arabic numbers
Gunpowder
Printing press
Paper
Ink
You might have a case if Elisha Williams was portraying Kevin Arnold, but he is playing another character instead.
I'm not offended by changing the race or gender of a fictional character. I'm merely a consumer of certain media, not a cult member.
The comic does not make him out to be the smartest tool in the shed. In fact he is one of the least interesting characters in the comic. It is the people around him that make it work.
Elisha Williams is portraying Dean Williams, not Kevin Arnold. This is the same with the other characters. Does anyone here think that the new cast is simply playing a black version of the original cast? The scripts are different, not duplicates.
Yes, the new series is inspired by the original and they obviously used the same name to capitalize on the popularity of the original series. Taking offence to this is what is known as a "personal problem".
In the books the robot (Eto Demerzel) is actually Daneel Olivaw who first appeared in Cave of Steel and has been alive for thousands of years. He was on Earth in the early days after the Spacers dominated Earth and prior to the second settler expansion. He does not appear in the original Foundation trilogy, but is a significant character in the Foundation prequels and one of the sequels.
