80/80

Even though the creator of the series said years and years ago that he would want a white actor to play the part?

I have to imagine he would want to avoid the issue the Full Metal Alchemist live action movie has with it's Japanese cast, in that none of the characters look remotely like their originals. Blonde wigs can only do so much, ya know?

A white lead with a mostly Asian cast would be a great way to show Naruto as an outcast.

No, but I will have to make a mental note to skip yet another movie since it's based on a franchise I despise.

They could cast half a cow to play the part and I still wouldn't care.

i'm mad they are using Asians in the live action Fullmetal Alchemist when I do believe it was obvious they where based on Germans. Roy I can see being Asian, Ling and those other people from his country, I can see being Asian.

people would whine about the "white savior" trope unfortunately. people did that with Eli in metal gear solid V when many games ago it was already decided he was white, and this game he just happened to be in Africa, so they wrote themselves into a corner on that.

That would look like an attempt to make white people look like the victims and asians as oppressors similar to anti-Japanese propaganda in WW2. Sounds like a stretch but I see it happening.

not the first time its been done. in metal gear solid PW Kazuhira (only half japanese) talks about how badly he was treated for being half white.

They should cast Nicolas Cage as Naruto.

every time a white guy shows up in a movie a new trope is born.

fuck tropes.
