It's cool that Scarlett Johanssen being cast as a Japanese woman fell off everyone's radar because the Ghost in the Shell adaptation sucked rear end.

heres a hot take. most people i see complaining about cultural imperialism and people playing parts/wearing clothes/eating food/etc that arent of their own culture are like a step and a half from calling for building a wall and preserving a future for their children. they come from similar places of desire for racial purity and cultural isolationism.

The woke solution they had where The Major was literally a Japanese woman whose cyberbrain was implanted into a white woman's body, was somehow more offensive and made even less sense than if she was just a white woman in the Japanese police.

It's a case study for all the ways Hollywood fails to adapt foreign cinema. Even down to rejecting in the end, uniting with another entity to achieve a godlike apotheosis, in favor of preserving her mundane individuality like a good American.

I don't mean to take a drizzling poo poo on your parade but the original director of the anime said its not white washing because assuming somebody with no memories, a new name and a wholly manufactured body was a specific race before hand was stupid. But you know what does the actual creator know, lets go with some tanky on a message board instead!

Except that's obviously a narrative device invented as an after-thought to explain away why it's actually ok that they cast the Major as a white woman. In fact it completely overwhelms all the themes of the original work by substituting existential dread over the nature of what it means to be human, or even if being human is worthwhile - with a trite amnesiac journey of self-discovery. Instead of being transhuman it's transracial. Instead of becoming greater than oneself, it covets individuality. It's not just a bad adaptation, it's reactionary.
