QueenoftheDorks Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 Look I love John Cho and generally believe he can do no wrong, buy I'm still super weary. Even the most enjoyable Netflix original productions end up feeling too long and bloated. I'd be more jazzed if this was just something they were importing.

ben0119 Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 Dude, I dunno if John Cho can pull off Spike, looks or anything-else wise. "Cho will play Spike Spiegel, which the streamer has described as "an impossibly cool 'cowboy' (bounty hunter) with a deadly smile, a wry wit and style to spare. He travels the solar system with his ex-cop partner, Jet, pursuing the future's most dangerous bounties with a combination of charm, charisma — and deadly Jeet Kune Do." Yeah... The only one that actually looks like their character is Faye. And she doesn't look hispanic at all to me. Looks Asian. Looking up her IMDB, claims she is of Mexican descent. Okay then. But doesn't look it. She looks like Faye though, so good enough. I know nothing of her acting, though. Didn't even know she was in that Jurassic World sequel and didn't bother seeing it since Jurassic World wasn't that great. Actually the Jet actor does kind of resemble Jet, besides the race change. Don't know anything about this guy, either. Never heard of this guy, either. But he looks familiar for some reason. Actually, I saw the first episode of that Miniaturist show. It's fucked up and I didn't care for it, but the guy did a good job in it, I'll say that much. But, I don't remember Vicious having a Jay Leno chin?? Well, maybe... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do you think Netflix is greenlighting everything pitched to them outside the 23rd street Whole Foods?  Their mass acquisition of product is essentially an attempt to fill the gaping hole losing all the Disney and Marvel stuff will cause.  The hope is DC Universe goes belly up and they go scrambling back to Netflix saying they’re sorry.  Fuck, you and I could probably pitch them a show and it would at least get a six episode order.  I mean, they are apparently airing a live action One Piece with the same budget as freaking Game of Thrones. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I am saying is that this subject, Cowboy Bebop, is highly regarded. If a LA version is going to succeed, it needs to focus first and foremost on those elements which made the anime version such a hit. If they set about doing this the Disney Star Wars way, where casting is a diversity checklist and the story is secondary to blatant virtue signalling then the series will suck. So far, I haven't seen much to encourage the notion that it is going to be based on the stories. I suspect that it is instead going to be something entirely different that is just using the name Cowboy Bebop to try and have an initial audience.

People are fine to create any characters they want. And the Star Wars characters are new so there's no race bending involved. Finn's character wasn't even specifically black and was actually white in concept art. It was said John Boyega nailed the audition. When Kelly Marie Tran auditioned for Rose, Rian Johnson said he felt the role was written for her. Not sure if that character was specified Asian or not, but I don't know why that would matter. I would rather the casting be more accurate to the characters in Bebop, because I don't like pre-established characters being changed like that, but if the actors can pull it off, it should still be good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if her ethnicity was ever clear. She legit looks Ishvalen lol. Or they don't have her play Ed true to the character if she even can act. The way Ed behaves is very... specific. It will be hard to get it right and come off well.

DragonSinger Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 (edited) John Cho is a good actor and can pull off cool when he needs to(Selfie and other shows he's done). With a good director and choreographer, he might be good on the martial arts front because he started training since filming Star Trek. There are cheats like ballet lessons to help actors achieve better flexibility and balance so fight scenes look really good on camera, but that's when showrunners put in the effort. Edited August 31, 2019 by SorceressPol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
