But people also got mad at her for playing a cyborg that was Japanese in the old version


Almost no one got mad at that. Maybe a hundred people or so got mad. No one else gave a shit.

On the contrary, I remember there being quite a bit of backlash over it


No there was not. There is a reason why she still played the role. Some people complained, but most didn't give a shit.

I mean, we could go back and forth like this all day, but I remember it being a pretty big deal at the time. I don't think you repeating yourself is going to change my recollection

I guess I get it. Trans actors for the most part only get to play trans characters, so when a high profile movie featuring a trans main character comes along and they give it to Scarlet Johansson...well, it's sort of like if they made a movie with a dwarf as the main character, but then gave that role to Dwayne Johnson. It's like, yeah, they could probably make it work with CGI but why not just give that role to an actual dwarf


Because it no longer becomes a high profile movie.

So Scarlet Johansson is the only reason this is a high profile movie? I find that hard to believe

Putting an A-lister in there just to have an A-lister in there kind of cheapens it really. It becomes less "movie about trans character" and more "Scarlet Johansson can play a trans character"

Which I guess is cool for Scarlet Johansson's career, but it doesn't really give the movie any legs

It was June 2 when Palomino, Aguilar, Mendoza and a woman named Leticia Garcia went to pick up a quarter kilo of meth in Norcross, Georgia, a small city northeast of Atlanta, authorities said. Something apparently went wrong during the trip, Rutherford told the court. It was Mendoza and Garcia who were tied to the cartel, and Palomino thought there might be a setup, the investigator testified.

Mendoza was the grandmother, Garcia was the accomplice.
Palomino and Aguilar are the killers.

However:
Aguilar, who was Mendoza's boyfriend, confessed and also implicated Palomino, according to the sheriff's office.

Seems like this should be well-tread legal ground by now. What do they do if you won't give up the combination to a safe? Do you get locked up for that or do they just go straight to breaking in?

The difficulty of breaking in shouldn't be a factor

I feel sorry for the little girl but not for the grandmother. Also, the killers were illegal. They were part of a Mexican drug cartel.

If I'm understanding the article, the grandmother and another woman were the cartel members. The killers were not.
