Resident Evil Reboot Movie Cast Announced, New Details Revealed

@karmo64: she is half Nigerian but that’s not the point. I don’t want to see any white people in the next Equalizer, nor any Asians as the next Batman so why am I not allowed to want to see the next Jill Valentine being white which she has been since 1997, which is since I have played as her. Why does one immediately not accept these days if people just want politics and race issues out of a movie by just wanting to keep things as they always were.

@xgalacticax: infinity war and endgame for one prove that wrong. sure there are the 3 mega nerds somewhere who say "but its not infinity gauntlet" but general concensus is clear

this guy is like i wanna stick true to sourceand then shows middle finger right from the starting gate to the source. who can blame?

@xgalacticax:

No, the girl is good looking but she looks nothing like Jill regardless of race. Jill (ignoring that shitty remake of RE3) looks like a Russian underwear model. She has a petite heart-shaped face with a pointy small nose.

The actress in question did a good job in the marvel movie she was in, but that does not change anything. Characters should actually look the part, training people and giving them, acting lessons is possible, but changing their appearance more as much as would be needed here is not realistic.

The people doing the casting and the person hiring the director should all be fired.

@DuoMaxwell007: The movie with a 47 on Metacritic? Sure....

@DuoMaxwell007: Sonic was animated. The definition of "live action" seems to have... eroded.

Go to the credits before arguing against... Those people had to work twice as hard in this movie's case

@lonewolf1044: ... resident evil was created in 1996. so its really new. they can easily make a new zombie thing that has black and other minority ethnicies

besides no one has ever been proud of black johnny storm or black genie. black panther, blade and miles morales made people go wild and activists still cite black panther quotes. those 3 were made from start to be black while respecting traditions and personality traits and consistency

@lonewolf1044: So to be clear: you believe times have changed to now casting white characters as Latinos and therefore not bringing the characters as they were drawn to life? And you think this is going to... make people like Latino, et al, actors? Are you crazy?

@lonewolf1044: oh fun! Now do a white Mulan.... Your smug comment is exactly what’s wrong. Instead of justifying the rationale for changing the source material, (let’s be honest you know as well as everyone else it’s because, wokeness) you find it easier to tell someone “BeTtER GeT wItH tHE TiMeS” Shows your lack of critical thinking or rationale. Keep just taking in what the media feeds you. I don’t think anyone here would have an issue with an RE game out with Black lead characters. You are what’s wrong and why there is such toxicity on these issues. How about bringing something constructive to the conversation next time instead of just low key calling someone a racist or bigot

@lonewolf1044: lmao..... have you taken the knee today yet?

@skyhighgam3r: Um Jill is defined by the stupid things she says in the first game (and to a lesser extent the RE3). It probably wouldn't have been half as funny if those lame lines had been said by a black chick. I don't know why, but I know they wouldn't have been. Can you remember any of Sheva's lines from RE4? Nope? See, proves my point. P.S. it would be equally weird casting Sheva as a white girl.

@YukoAsho: Leon looks like a preppy white boy.

@skyhighgam3r: How can a non-white person look like a preppy white boy that the Japanese artists drew? What??

Don’t get me wrong, if they’re going to powder the actor’s face to make him look white, then fine. But that just seems like it’ll attract really unnecessary controversy. They were probably best just going for a white actor who looks like a preppy suburban rookie police officer who is out of his depth.
