Minority roles (which are meager to begin with) being stripped from Hollywood film and given to white actors (who typically make up the majority of roles already)..and ur ok with that

There's nothing off-base with ur stance at all :p

Heimdall was given to a black actor because face it.....without it, there would have been no 'significant' (if u can even call it that) PoC role in thor films...outside of nick fury

Understood. You make a good point. You're arguing from an equity in casting perspective. I was just arguing from a logical consistency standpoint.
 
Bet crickets are chirping in the halls of white comics fandom about this race swap. But, you let a minority get cast in one of their many, many, many roles and they lose their collective, pimply faced, sunshine challenged, non date having minds.

Yes, I know that's a stereotype. I'm using it on purpose.

Hey, take it easy Samson1701, lol. Some of us pigment-rich guys have trouble getting a date as well, lol.

Maybe I should do a Skype call with you now and you can "watch" me play. Would make it all the more entertaining.

I am happy those things can take me to the beginning of the temple.

I missed watching the game last night, but holler if you still want to Skype.

I haven't played the game since early 2007 so memories are fuzzy about the game details, but I do know you want to upgrade to the Hylian shield before you head to the Goron Mines for sure. My son tells me I'm weird for stocking up before I head to the temples rather than just jumping in. I just don't like unnecessary backtracking. I suppose it's the perfectionist in me. As I've told you before, I'm one of those people who like to complete every part of the game...item, heart pieces, side quests, etc. I'm determined to do it all.

Well she's already played an androgynous angel in the Constantine movie, so who knows they could do the same with this.

When I first saw her in the film Constantine, as an angel, I thought she was more masculine than feminine. In the film The Limits Of Control, she looked more feminine. I had read that she was bisexual. She might be able to pull it off. Although an Asian actor would work also for the character of the Ancient One.

Good point. An androgynous look is a versatile look, which definitely works in that type of role.

Ken Watanabe was rumored to be someone they had their eye on to go with the traditional take on the role. Morgan Freeman's name was also thrown out as well as another possible non traditional take on the role.

Did you catch her in Orlando, where her character changes sexes through the ages?
 
Your son doesn't understand the concept of "in case shit happens." :smt025

Uncle Ruckus Is Bebop In TMNT 2

Actor Gary Anthony Williams has been cast to play the criminal thug/henchman Bebop in the sequel to current Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles big screen take. WWE wrestler Stephen Farrelly aka Shemus is reported to have been cast for the role of Rocksteady. No word yet on if the two characters will be transformed into their iconic warthog and rhino mutant forms in the sequel, but more than likely they will be.

If they would have cast another brother as Rocksteady, then I would have been like "Hold up".....:p


There were some production concept designs from the first movie floating around that suggest they were originally going to have Krang in the first movie but decided to hold off to see how the movie did. He might show up in this one, just have to wait and see.

I guess that was suppose to be his version of "atonement" for killing off Jazz in the first Transformers movie since Darius McCrary was the voice for the character, technically making Jazz the "black" Autobot.

I remember the first animated adaptation when Jazz was voiced by Scatman Crothers. And Jazz lived until the Unicron incident in the big screen adaptation leading to Optimus Prime's death.
