WTF you have a little kid playing Raven and a mediocre looking chick playing Starfire.


Apparently Nightwing and Starfire will be adults mentoring Raven and Beast Boy who are young teens.

that sounds like a great strategy for a failure of a tv show

Yeah. I'm not feeling the casting decision.

Mercifully, I don't care about live action superhero TV. Make it a movie or a cartoon. Then we'll talk.

Since when was Starfire black

Hollywood will recast Asians as white and whites as blacks

When there's already very few Asian characters.

what? why?

Seems like the live action show is going to similar to the Judas Contract movie. In that, Nightwing and Starfire mentor Beast Boy, Raven, Terra, Robin (Damian Wayne), and Blue Beetle.

Is the show really called Titans? That's pretty stupid considering the actual current Titans consist of very different people.

Iris West, who is black in both the upcoming movie and the current CW series. And in turn Wally West.

So exactly one character is enough to say "every"? All of my what?

Why should race matter in this situation? Whatever the actor's ethnicity, the character's gonna be orange.


I don't think that she has the features of a Starfire, but people shouldn't be getting mad simply because the actor is black. If it offends your klan boner that much, just pretend it's a white girl underneath all of that oompa loompa makeup she's gonna be wearing.

She does have a nice body. And she'll likely stand up nicely when compared to the comic book interpretation of the character.


But, being as the cartoon is always the first thought to come to mind whenever Teen Titans is brought up, yeah, I'd prefer a cute face and an okay body than an okay face and a rockin' body.

I probably won't watch this so I don't really care but I'll just say I prefer original Starfire's look. A live action orange skinned Starfire would look pretty weird anyway so whatever

Is this part of the Arrowverse? I'm assuming this is not the one they had planned for TNT.

But regardless, I definitely picture Starfire closest to a Latina or Southeast Asian/Pacific Islander. They could have gone that route easily and still been progressive.

Honestly, my first thought was that she looks too old to play Starfire.

My second thought was the show will probably be steaming garbage any way, so it doesn't matter after all. Yay!

Such absolutely terrible casting all around. I think Teen titans is ALREADY very doably diverse, but this is just dumb.

IMO

Robin could be asian and fine. White guy is fine as long as he has black hair.

I've always seen Beast Boy as hispanic.

Raven should not be a blond, blue eyed 13 year old. Just so wrong. Make her dark haired white, asian, or middle eastern.

Starfire could be hispanic or middle eastern IMO

Just dumb decisions that make the character unrecognizable.

Garfield Logan is a very hispanic name, after all.

could go for the Tameran forehead features like the cartoon to further point out, shes an alien.

I agree with the posts about having to wait & see til shes in full makeup pre-production then see what they do post production. Her look needs a bit of imagination. How much though right? Are we talking MCU Nebula-esque or Deadpool's Domino-like make up?
