I remember when she was an A-lister and then suddenly her career derailed. It's a fun movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lauren Hissrich cast mostly white and black actresses in those roles, with Anya Chalotra part Asian (her father is Indian). But there aren't really any other Asian actresses in those roles, nor Hispanic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cult Icon Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 I heard that the opening of Indy 5 is the best part of the film and feels like a continuation of 'The Last Crusade'. Portions of it are appearing on youtube. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's mainly black people for some reason. I don't understand why myself except for the fact that blacks are more vocal and are more strongly rooted in entertainment than the other two groups. Also have you noticed that Anya looks very white in the show compared to her candids? BTW Yen's teacher in the red dress (who is a good actress and well cast) was the voice actor for Anna Henneritta in W3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing that matters is competence (and in the case of a book adaptation, ressemblance with the original characters). Diversity is not our strength. Rewarding competence is our strength. If the character was written as black, the he should be black. Same for white, ginger, blonde, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enrico_sw Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 This is what happens when people see the world through modern lenses. Diversity is not our strength. Rewarding competence is our strength. The skin color should never matter when you build a submarine. Quote Titanic tour CEO Stockton Rush said he didn't hire '50-year-old white guys' because they were NOT 'inspirational' - as footage emerges of him boasting of previous 'invulnerable' sub designed to explore 'unsinkable' Titanic https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12219265/Stockton-Rush-said-didnt-hire-50-year-old-white-guys-NOT-inspirational.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually like a few of those actors. Like the ones who play Fringilla and Phillipa Earhart. I was more amused by a show that is obviously proud of its racially diverse cast primarily just having white and black cast members. That is not that diverse. And how many people even know Anya is half-Asian through her dad? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SympathysSilhouette Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 I find so much of this stuff tedious. Like the complaints about the black Cleopatra show. And then the complaints about the upcoming Cleopatra movie in which Gal Gadot will be playing the role. There is something a bit weird about how each race seems to have claimed that Egyptian culture as their own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
