As long as there are no plans for an LA movie where they got white actors to replace the Japanese ones, as has been the case with Avatar, it’s all good. [“But Naruto’s technically a fox, so he’s not actually Asian. And besides, you’re not giving Nick Carter a chance!” =p]
Why are so many people upset over the casting for Avatar? The non-Asian casting in Dragonball Evolution and Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun Li hasn’t received criticism as racially based decisions. I care more about the acting than about the ethnic pedigree of the actors themselves.
For example: Who would like to see Samuel L. Jackson play Gendo Ikari in a live-action NGE movie?
I would. He’s already played a katana-wielding badass, so why not?
