Thank you so much finally someone who gets it, we need to spread this message across all of hollywood because it's painfully obvious how creatively bankrupt they are and how ignorant they are about this topic.
Majority get it. Just scared to say it.
They want to be bankrupt!
XO Hollywood is afraid to take risks..they know what needs to happen, but are afraid of losing money
For all Hollywood pushes "diversity" by swapping out existing characters, it's really just cynical tokenism. Nobody wants tokenism. We want actual representation, not some swapped out character that's portrayed as downright horrible as a human being but we're expected to swoon over how empowered it is. I want REAL wokeness: anything from the Hollywood Renaissance starring Sydney Poitier. Lynn Whitfield as Josephine Baker. Linda Hamilton as Sarah Connor, Sigourney Weaver as Ellen Ripley, Ming-Na Wen in The Joy Luck Club. What I don't want is Black Lesbian Velma Dinkley who treats everyone horribly and gets her friend railroaded on a murder charge because REASONS.
Comic book movies are glutted right now and diminishing in quality, but if we're gonna have minority superheroes, gimme Static Shock, Icon, Jon Stewart Green Lantern, a GOOD adaptation of Spawn, etc. Plenty of material to work with, but we're not getting it because Hollywood insists on swapping out existing characters.
And they'll keep doing cynical tokenism as long as the audience keeps watching it.
Damn it feels good hearing someone in the industry actually understand why fans reject Hollywood's attempt to reuse instead of create.
you can blame executives and focus groups for this, not the movie going population. hollywood is creatively bankrupt.
These movies still make record profit, in many cases.
Audiences are not so innocent
I completely agree with him, but I don't see it working anytime soon. Even if you remove the various racisms (financial, actual, etc.) in Hollywood, you still hit another wall that is the expectations of a diverse audience. American culture doesn't expect any heritage backstory for their protagonists, but a lot of ethnicities/nationalities demand it: the culture heavily programs certain traits in their people and will experience cognitive dissociation if they don't see it.
If you have, say a young Muslim female protagonist and you see NONE of the tropes we associate with that--say her parents are liberal, no one wears a hijab, no one is seen eating specific foods, no arranged marriage is mentioned, maybe she's dating a non-Muslim and not being celibate--a lot of people from that background are going to be baffled as to why that stuff isn't in there because of its expected commonality. You might even get people upset that this character doesn't represent their life experience in ANY WAY and the character and the movie are bullshit. That will affect audience participation, and thus, the box office.
A lot of cultures make the culture/religion/etc. a defining characteristic of a person's identity and American cinema is pretty loose, even negligent with those things, and that's gonna create problems with his mission statement.
What do you think? Please leave a comment below!
Absolutely spot on analysis of modern Hollywood.
Well said, Jason. We need more artists such as yourself.
It's an interesting conversation, because there are stories that highlight culture to help appreciate and celebrate that culture on film. But he's right, to normalise a culture, it has to be seen as normal, and not special or highlighted.
I think talent and a good story speak for themselves.
The problem is pushing “the message”
*THE MESSAGE*
Many believe that Hollywood has lost that creative spark and they rely to heavily on established characters/movies and think the fans will accept anything them push at us.
Your right but the problem is no producer wants to gamble to new story with high budget. The solution is the directors writer and others who wants to change and create a original movie is all of them share in expenses and buid a new and original movie dont relay on rich producer.
Comic books have been doing exactly that and now they lost to manga. Comic book sales are abysmal and manga is crushing comic books. Comics are almost dead lol
I don't specify race in any of my scripts unless it has a bearing on the story.
I want to hear more about getting kids to do the dishes. Writing is easier than that.
_VINDICATION!!!_
All of my white friends have insisted I'm racist-as-fuck for saying exactly this. You have _no freaking idea_ how good it is to hear these sentiments echoed by someone affected by this dynamic in Hollywood.
_Thank you!_
The music video that the Guest Speaker Jason Park is referring to at 6:56 is "Turn Down For What" by Little Jon.
One of the most visually exciting music videos to come out in years, and you should really look at it sometime -but just don't show it to your kids!
ONLY artist/story tellers like Jason Park can FIX & SAVE Pop Culture in Hollywood, Entertainment & Comics!
I haven’t seen a movie since 2012 and not going back.
Now that's dedication! You haven't missed anything and I'm sure you've saved a little money too.
Damn! That’s wild never heard anyone who just stopped watching movies, you haven’t missed much honestly sadly, perhaps the batman and joker are decent honestly, can’t think of much that you’ve missed however…how you doing on the tv show front? 😂
You been missing out Badly .i take breaks like 6 months 😂 lol
2012 was an awful film too. Don't blame you.
Then you have missed many incredible films
I think the reason Asian Horror has become prevalent in the horror community is that being by filmed in Asia, it allows the story to play organically, with no diversity ideology attached to it, even when it might include elements of local folklore.
Awesome, thank you
He’s spot on with his analysis. Especially the part about an ethnic character just being a character and his/her background not mentioned or involved in the story at all. I’ve been thinking the same thing for a while now. We’re making small strides towards that but still have more hurdles to go.
I even judge myself harshly when submitting for roles that say “any ethnicity” Really? And the characters name will be like Benjamin or Marcus lol. Sometimes I won’t even submit because I know the odds of them wanting a more ethnic looking actor might be slim.
Lovely explanation, genuine and honest.
His viewpoint is definitely influenced by Will Smith’s career. In his heyday, Will was playing parts that were irrelevant of race or culture. I think we’re in a slightly different landscape with different sensibilities now, so it’s a bit more difficult to find the right balance of not forcing a quota and still making sure the landscape is well represented.
My argument is that if you hate “forced diversity” in front of the camera, you should be rooting for more diverse talent acquisition behind it. We’d see less lazy, brazen race/gender/checkbox-swapping of established characters if we had more diverse, talented people creating NEW characters.
Good interview and I hope this dude finds great success.
Wonderfully explained.
This guy is spitting straight facts.
YES…👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Give This Guy… the “He gets it Award!!!!”
yup 100% this is exactly why people are upset about gender swaps. it changes the characters and story. And race that has a race swapped character (or gender or sexuality or whatever it is that's changed up) should be offended that instead of getting amazing, unique characters that show case what makes them awesome to the world, they get their characteristics slapped on a character that is traditionally something else. Its lazy writing from hollywood and says that they don't think is good enough to carry unique stories ... no ... they have to ride the coat tails of some other by taking on that character.
trust me ... every kind of person regardless of what box we put ourselves in is capable of carrying our own unique stories. and they should be creating unique stories and characters.
let the world fall in love with characters built from the ground up to be who they are, not what they are (unique authentic characters).
Hollywood - "but if we didn't highlight your ethnicity how would we pat ourselves on the back for making movies about your ethnicity."
Wow, golden words...
4:20 This right here. I've been saying this forever but Hollywood seems to want to play race swap all the time. Just create new stories and characters instead.
I will watch your next movie!
The problem with diversity in fantasy is that fantasy environments are typically medieval ones. And those are segregated. They are isolated and communities are fairly homogenous within themselves.
I agree with him
GLAD SOMEONE SAID IT!! Thank you sir!👏🏽💯
The comic book and movie industry have the same parallels. Except comic book at this point is nearly dead and has been beaten by manga. Only time will tell if the movie industry will experience what comic book is going through.
I hear what he’s saying, however the problem with what he said about alienating is that a lot of people aren’t “alienated.” They take the opportunity to engage and in a lot of cases in extreme ways to the point that it's not about the show/movie anymore. It's all over your social media app of choice (even YT). How about not watching and not talking about it? There are probably a few shows that got hate watched into more seasons. I don’t watch shows and movies I don’t find entertaining. Life is too short. I just saw someone complaining about a series that just ended and it was clear they kept up with the show for the entire run. Why? Even in this comment section somebody is complaining about a disabled black actor being used in a freaking ad and calling it “woke.”🙄. Not to mention a lot of people are selective about what kinds of “swapping” they are ok with and that makes it disingenuous.
There used to be a reason why Miles Morales and Spider Gwen were not Peter Parker.. But try telling that to disney.
Agree 100%
Is it not the same as just changing the actor and is that ok?
That goes back to how they cast the actors for the movie Alien. The script or screenplay just had character names in it like Ripply. It never said male or female they gave the job to whoever was the best fit for the character. So Ripply could of just as easily been a man but they liked Sigourney Weaver for that role and the rest is how they say history. Because they just wanted the best person for those roles nothing else mattered. Not gender or race or background people just addition for those walls and got them because they were best for that role.
Same thing for Mighty Morphin Power Rangers people just additioned. For those roles and then they whore hired based on their addition. Like the one that played Zack in it the actor like the character so he wanted to addition for that character. They liked his addition so he got the job an role as Zack it had nothing. To do with the fact that the character would become the black power ranger. It was the fact that they felt that he was the best person for that role.
So back then they just basically had a character's name an nothing else. Then they looked at who additioned an went with the person that. They felt was the best person for that character same thing with the character. Trainee they never looked at race it came down to who was the best person for those roles only. They didn't even need to know any form of martial arts as long as their personality fit what the directors were looking for. Basically if someone had a personality that rubbed people the wrong way they did not get the job.
I know you meant "audition" 😅
@@diemes5463 Yea you have to love an by that I mean hate autocorrect at times. You put in one thing an it changes it just because it feels like it.
I heard that Alien was actually written with the idea that they'd all be men because subtextually it was a story about SA. That's not me reading in to it by the way, they state that is what the story was about when making it.
@@Horatio787 True but just because they wrote it with the idea idea of a man. Didn't stop them from giving it to a woman they whore thinking of a man at the time. But they gave it to the best person that they thought fit that character is the point.
Unlike someone that would write for example Ripply male in the casting call. For the character they just put out a casting call for a character named Ripply. That's the difference one casting call specifically gives a gender they are looking for that character. One casting call only has the characters name. Unlike newer movies for the most part they assign a gender for the characters even before they start looking for actors. So they from the start go this is a male character and this is a female character. Then they go into even more specifics about the character. Like they look like this an are this tall an so on. But just because they wrote it thinking of a male they didn't audition. People for the role based on any specific details of the character other than the name alone.
@Matthew Marczewski
"It never said male or female they gave the job to whoever was the best fit for the character."
The red shirt that ironically survives while everyone else dies. So the only requirement was being unknown since all the more famous actors get killed off at the start.
"Like the one that played Zack in it the actor like the character so he wanted to addition for that character. They liked his addition so he got the job an role as Zack it had nothing. To do with the fact that the character would become the black power ranger."
I suppose it's just a coincidence that the yellow ranger was also Asian and the white ranger was white.
"So back then they just basically had a character's name an nothing else."
They may not have had a detailed description of the character but the director knew what sort of person they wanted. Like in Rocky 3 they needed someone male who was intimidating for Clubber Lang. They couldn't find a boxer or actor so they looked through prisons until they found Mr T (America's toughest bouncer).
"Trainee they never looked at race it came down to who was the best person for those roles only."
Tokenism exists because people knew they needed enough people of each race to boost sales. That's why you have so many Asians and blacks in minor, reoccuring roles.
"They didn't even need to know any form of martial arts as long as their personality fit what the directors were looking for."
In Power Rangers you needed to know martial arts or gymnastics because they didn't want to hire stunt people.
Imagine "new" things. Might blow people's minds.
I'm hoping the superb insanity of EEAAO and its twisty and complex narrative has audiences wanting more fresh brain busters!
Such an accurate analysis. I really want more original stories where black people and Asian people are just treated like people and cast in varying roles instead of being a race billboard.
He hits the nail on the head, this is why the new Velma was exceptionally irritating.
I don’t mind racial diversity when it makes sense. In fact, I’m thinking about writing a book about a black detective in the 1970s. Most of the characters will be non-white. However, I don’t like it when characters are cast unrealistically or inappropriately. For example, my favorite book is Great Expectations, but in the upcoming adaptation, half the cast is black. The characters in the book were not black. It also doesn’t make any sense for British nobles and lords to be played by non-white actors, just as it doesn’t make sense to cast white actors in a film about Ancient Japan. If a casting choice takes the audience out of the story, then the filmmakers aren’t doing their job. This occurs when filmmakers discard historical accuracy and faithfulness to source material. Politics shouldn’t be placed above art.
Political is always in art though pal. what you mean is "you don't like" that "politics in that particular art".
@@Bigwillystyle707 There are certain universal artistic truths that transcend political ideology.
@@batman5224 "universal artistic truths" its itself a political statement.(not saying i disagree) I'am curious what are there "universal artistic truths "

Dude lost me when he said Shang-Chi was good.

🎉🎉🎉
100% love hearing people who know what's actually going on right now.
I see both sides.
The race obsession is nauseating.
I have to say I 100% disagree with the entire concept of "if you aren't X, you can't write X, because you don't know it". That's counterintuitive to the entire purpose of writing. Male writers write women. Female writers write men. And they can both do it very well. It's called imagination, and if you don't have any, you have no business writing. Sorry, just have to call out the BS when I hear it.
Asian Will smith 😂 funniest Part 😂 lmao
The problem is it's hard to make good movies and people aren't in to doing anything hard anymore.
That's not true look at independent filmmakers they put hard work an love into their movies. I have learned from many independent filmmakers audio commentaries that. There number one goal is to make a fun an enjoyable movie first. Then if it makes money they go yeay people like are movie an want to support it. But they make movies out of the love an passion for making movies so they put actual hard work an effort into those movies.
Like for example I have to use Damien Leone you may not like his movies an that's fine. But you have to at least acknowledge that he puts hard work into his movies. I have to use Damien Leone because of his character Art the Clown. Because one can literally and figuratively see the time an effort he put into creating an developing that character and world.
Because Damien Leone started it back in 2008 with a short film called The 9th Circle. Then some time later he took the nameless clown from The 9th Circle an made another short film called The Terrifier. Then made that clown the main character an gave him a name Art. Then some time later Damien Leone put both of those short films with a nother short film into one movie called All Hallows Eve in 2013. In wich Damien Leone was still trying different things out with Art the clown. So that stuff is non cannon when it comes to Art the Clown but. Damien Leone took things he liked from The 9th Circle an The Terrifier an All Hallows Eve then stat down an came. Up with a solid concept and story idea for Art the clown an wrote the official cannon start of Art the Clown. That being the script or screenplay for Terrifier 2016 then it was the matter of raising the money to make the movie an release the movie. So Damien Leone put alot of hard work an effort into the character Art the Clown an that world. Starting way back in 2008 so some people are still doing the hard work as. I have proven with all the time an effort that Damien Leone put into creating Art the clown an that world.
So the only ones that don't want to do the hard work are the people in mainstream media an mainstream Hollywood. Because they can just copy or piggyback off of someone else preexisting movie IP. Then get their movie green lit automatically from mainstream Hollywood and mainstream media.
While I agree with this guy 99.9% I disagree that the US is the only melting pot. Plus, I would also point out the Disney movie Turning Red which was based on a Chinese girl growing up in Canada rejecting her roots to be her own person was unjustly badmouthed.
I would love to hear his take on that. In fact, I would love for this channel to interview the writer/director Domee Shi regarding why the movie was hated when everything about it was so positive and uplifting.
yes new.
O man this guys sounds fun to really find what works.
Disney star wars and Disney marvel and Disney plus have their own theory on this one
Before Hollywood embraced Marxism I used to see a movie every few weeks, now I see a few a year. 💀🔥🎬
LOL "Marxism" thanks for telling us you have no idea what Marxism means.
I think I mostly agree with him, however you'll have to excuse me if an ethnic person tells their story by painting the whole of white people as racist. Like, I'm not interested in a story where an entire race is victimized by an entire race of people. Its rarely so clear cut.
Even in the worst scenarios, there is not always such clear cut lines drawn...
I totally agree with him. The 2017 live action Ghost in the Shell movie disappointed many fans of the manga series and the anime movie, as well the selections of mini series, because they took the 1995 anime movie and destroyed it in replotting the story. By changing the races of the characters, they changed the plot of the story; this story takes place in Japan--not some other country where Americans are acceptable--meaning the cast should fit the origin of the characters to keep the story original. Major Kusanagi should have been a Japanese actress instead of Scarlett Johansson to keep the story in line with her character.
Since I only vaguely watched GitS:SAC with friends (and only really paid attention during the tachikoma scenes sorry), I was confused at the backlash as she looked (to me) according to the show. Then, people explained that history and animation style etc. I was blown away. I watched a video "what country is this anime person from" in Japan. The answers blew me away. Again, as an anime plebiscite, I had no clue.
Tl;dr- don't expect the unwashed masses to know things like this. I literally always figured anime in America was just for the US.
On top of that, the plot was a butchered mess, stripped of any meaning even remotely resembling the original series.
Nick Fury is white, but Samuel L. Jackson plays him. I wonder if he knows that he's black.
I remember having a conversation with one of the woke brigade not long ago. The rumours of James bond becoming a black woman had came out. I mentioned how stupid an idea it was. Someone said "it's not a real person. It's fine to change it" so I said "well what about the TV drama about Henry the 8th, and one of his wives being black in it?"... same person replied "its a testament to her acting, and being able to pull it off"... makes NO sense. So I asked if it would be OK for Goldie Hawn to play Nelson Mandelas wife. They said "no, because part of who she is, is black" 🤷♂️
You just can't win.
Why do these people keep making movies, where its obvious to fans they gender or race swap for P.C reasons. The people behind the movie KNOWS we know. Yet they make it anyway, knowing it will flop. What's the insensitive to keep churning them out?
There's another video on this channel that explains why. It's because producers are more concern with keeping their jobs.
If a producer invests time, money and effort into a projects that flops but they made sure to check all the boxes (diversity, being CCP compliant, being part of an existing franchise, etc) then they can justify themselves to their bosses about how they did everything by the book, so fire them is unjustifiable. The opposite is riskier for them, if they take risks like trying a completely original story and that flops, then their bosses can justifiably fire them. So, they have more incentives to go the "safe" route and produce shitty movies
It’s always going to seem like a pc reason to people who just don’t want to see it. You’re comparing historical figures to fictional ones. Doesn’t seem like you’re ‘arguing in good faith.’
They are identitarian communists
If it's good for the revolution, it's good
If it's bad for the revolution, it's bad
When you see it through that lens, you see why the contradictions and double standards make sense to them
From their perspective, it's simply not hypocritical because their goal is not the same as yours
Their goal with culture and entertainment (and the creation of the two) is not the same as yours
@Your Karma Henry the 8th was a real person. So was his wives.
@@FortunaFavored You do know they made a black and lesbian 'Anne Boleyn' recently ? A historical figure. That poor woman was even beheaded.
Talking about 'arguing in good faith'
I definitely agree gender or race swapping is stupid it destroys the characters identity easy thing to do is create a new story or add a new character because if you just gender or race swap etc an existing character or whatever they did with Peter pan it's lazy and stupid
I completely agree with this guy. Since I write screenplays and characters in my film. Who are not like myself. Since I don’t need to see myself on screen to identify with characters on screen.
Um… Ancient One?!

Can I just take this opportunity to say how much I love your channel. I’ve reached out to a few of your guests and they have been so helpful. I am interviewing Jocelyn Jones in a few weeks and am beyond excited. Thank you for all of your wonderful work 🙏
Thank you! We appreciate the kind words. Jocelyn Jones is marvelous. We were honored to speak with her. Artist: Awakening the Spirit Within is a treasure to read. Cheers!
This is spot on about creating characters vs replacing.
This dude knows what’s up
Seeing Stephen Spielberg and James Cameron get passed over last night in favour of strange, new stories under the A24 brand was a great feeling, and I hope this trend continues.
Take note producers of the 007 franchise.
Yes be more like the bayformers I know where this will go.
Write good stories for all people and the audience will eventually arrive. Create great characters and people will follow. Race switching is a great PR and ad gimmick. Y'all (on either side) are just giving mega corps free press.
Make great stories. Create great characters.

THIS GUY GETS IT
"Force" I think says it all. No one accepts that which is forced.
1st
You earned it!
That’s some “pick me” b.s.. When I was a kid, Catwoman on TV went from Julie Newmar to Lee Meriwether to Eartha Kitt - and it worked because Julie was great and Eartha Kitt was completely different but she was born to play Catwoman too.
Great example but Bad Woman i grew up seeing catwoman as Black ..Ms Berry lol so not true .people put Roles in a Box
@@2solid4tv48 …my point was that some of his hesitancy to recast across some racial lines, when racial identity isn’t pertinent, is already 55 years out of date. It’s theatre. People adapt. There’s a vocal minority of racists, ginning each other up on social media, but nobody should cater to them.
@@christopherleodaniels7203 seemed like your white washed and brain washed and was saying Cat woman should be White since she has been white when u was young but that's why they say this generation can change stuff because older people like most people on this channel are used to doing things the old way .im saying halle did amazing in that role as cat woman so it doesn't matter who play the Role
@@christopherleodaniels7203 'it's been done before' is hardly the basis for a meaningful creative decision. It should be followed with 'why am I doing this', because context matters.
This issue does not originate with a cabal of angry internet nerds, but from the companies that make these movies not asking these important questions during the creative process and lazily blaming the unsatisfied portion of the audience for their failing.
Also, you can argue an idea without making assumptions about the people making them, just because someone is nitpicking over who should play a fictional character doesn't make them a racist.
@@diemes5463 …”It’s been done before” could’ve also been the basis for not casting Eartha Kitt as Catwoman in 1967 - or for that matter not casting a person of color as Dr. Who or as Harvey Dent in Batman. So, on that basis, I agree.
Also, let’s be clear - as an almost 60 year-old black man, knowing what is and isn’t perpetuating white supremacy has been part of my survival skill set since before I could read and write - so I don’t need anyone to tell me when I do and don’t see it. i’ll use my own gauge, thank you, and I’ll call it out when I see it.

LOL! He always uses the examples of asians! U can see in his eyes he wants to say black but he knows that that can be misconstruded for racist accusations...
Not necessarily because this can apply to any race that's being swapped in for traditionally non white character. For example In the last of us TV show for there were some complaints about a Tommy and Joel being played by Latino actors.
@Jorge de Arca The description for this video reads: "The actor decided to passionately work on breaking barriers for Asian-American actors, directors, writers, and creators in American Cinema. Leading him to create films with Asian leads in non Asian stereotypical roles." This is the goal of Jason Park. This is why he specifically uses these examples to make his point relevant to what he does for a living.
Your ignorant 😂 he is Asian so he uses that as example 😂 since White People always making them play kung fu roles 😂 lol your ignorant lol your grand kids will b black ..God dont like ugly
What are you talking about?
@@gcfournier3386 God bless you Queen she is obviously Racist lol 😂
Sure, go create your own international hit phenomenon. It's easy as, umm, I dunno... catching lightning in a bottle? Or you could grow up and realize your childhood won't be ruined because someone who didn't fit the type was chosen to play a fictional character.
So you think the Ghostbusters with the chicks in it wasn't a horrible pointless movie but failed because cis white men are misogynists? And, if those same women were put into an original movie called Bridesmaids, it wouldn't be successful?
Good writers make new things and new things rise or fall on their own.
If a movie based on an established franchise doesn't deliver the nostalgic catharsis that's expected, it's perfectly reasonable for any portion of the audience to reject it or complain if they spent their time and money on it. It's entertainment, it should entertain, not patronize.
@@chrisfoxwell4128 I think 'Ghostbusters' w/ chicks wasn't good, and didn't work, because they tried to reboot a beloved movie instead of making a continuation of the lore like 'Afterlife'. Even if they were guys, the movie woulda been crap. But the decision wasn't made in order to piss off half the viewing public. A lotta people thought it was a good idea. And a lotta people were flat out wrong. And your 'Bridesmaids' reference actually makes my original point. If Kristen Wiig hadn't co-written it, the chances of it getting made would probably be slim. Very few original scripts get made every year. And suggesting that as a way to diversify Hollywood casting is easier said than done.
@@diemes5463 That's true. But the question is, is it patronizing? Or is it someone came in and blew the casting people away? Is there a commercial reason to make a change? To reach a wider audience perhaps? Very rarely, if at all, are these decisions taken lightly. So the changes may piss off a hardcore fan, but it isn't meant to be a spit in the face. Sometimes it's a shitty decision. And sometimes the reaction from the fan base over new characters is equally shitty (Finn and Rose from 'Star Wars'?).
@Jeff Hassen , your original point seemed to be a successful movie can't be made so just inserting other people into already existing characters is the only thing that works. And, the only people that thought that chick Ghostbusters was a good idea are the ones that thought just inserting other people into already existing characters is all that was needed. And Bridesmaids wasn't successful because Wig wrote it, it was a funny movie that was successful that happened to be written by Wig. Did it get made easier with her attached, probably, ɓecause that's how it works; success breads opportunity.
Can someone tell this guy that he is not Asian? He is mixed race part European part Asian, it's wrong to identify himself and bias towards one ethnicity if he is mix of more than one. When half Asian half European call himself just Asian and forgetting his European part it's racism against Europeans and its alienating Europeans. For example Keanu Reeves is part Asian but more European, yet he doesn't claim he is Asian, actually he doesn't tell anything about his ethnicity, despite he is mixed race, that's why everyone likes him and he appeals both to Europeans and Asians, and while he has more European look you can see some rudimentary Asian features in him, but nobody cares about that, he is just great person and actor. Why I'm I bringing Keanu? He is from Hawaii just like interviewed guy, but he doesn't claim to be Asian!!! And I clearly see that this has a litt more of Asian mixture than Keanu, but still I see him more as European, and I feel that he hates and disrespect his European majority of his genes and predecessor, when he calls himself Asian, and I feel like he hates and disrespects Europeans and respects Asians more with that behavior. And then he talks about alienating people. Dude should stop calling himself Asian and should start respecting his European part of himself and should show respect to European audience by acknowledging that he is more European than Asian, or at least by calling himself part European part Asian.
He claims to be not part of this anti-white woke Hollywood agenda, that alienates majority, yet he acts like one of those anti white racist. The only thing is better about him is that he does not do race swap and do his own thing, but still his own thing is alienating because of reason mentioned above. Instead of making movie about people who are suitable for context he pushes asians and distance himself from Europeans. That's wrong, way of thinking like that is the reason majority of people in the world (who are actually still white European or part white European) hates this woke Hollywood and its anti white propaganda.
Back in old days even Asian actors and directors who came to Hollywood did not push their ethnicity and worked with local mostly white actors, John Woo is great example, he did good Asian movies, but they wqs still somewhat alienating to non Asians, when he came to Hollywood he used his Asian style but shoot European looking actors and did great movies whole world loved. Now imagine what could happen if he comes to Hollywood and keep shooting mostly Asians in his movies? He would alienate majority!
I personally didn't find him to be anti European/white at all. His vibe that I got was that he would rather work and see Asians in roles that have nothing to do with their race/ethnicity or having them play characters who happen to be Asian rather than characters that are only characters focusing on their culture. With that said, certain movies that are majorly Asian can still have universal storylines that any person, regardless of demographic, to resonate with which makes the movie work for a global audience and not just a handful of people.I will rewatch though for your opinion though. 👍😀
@@malbano he is not openly anti European (I don't say anti white because northern Asians are mostly white too), but you can tell he is by putting Asian everywhere and calling himself Asian despite he is not Asian and obviously mixed race who looks more like European than Asian, but he does not acknowledge his European part and doesn't respect it, and tries to make it looks like it doesn't exist or like he ashamed of it. He reminds me that episode of south park where someone of characters discovered he is like 0.01% native american, and he gone all pretending to be native american and anti white european, and also played oppression card.

Go woke go broke.
Should be said both ways. Hollywood whitewash a lot of characters so much yeah. Also using black panther is the worst example. Black panther is Black and culture is significant. Tony stark could be black . Sorry disagree.
The opposite of a bad idea, can still be a bad idea.
ok, this guy is so full of it, first off, you are already alienating fan base by making marvel movies too different to the comics and trash, second you an anime fan, just cause you mention dragon ball, sounds like bs. everything everywhere all at once was boring forgettable. RRR was fun cause of being different and crazy, india has their own touch on action.
