John still looks too old for the role for my liking, but for a 49 year old Spike he looks good.

Yeah, I'm guessing they'll just age up the characters.

Everyone is complaining about Fayes outfit but Spikes suit is bugging me more - I always pictured it as looking a bit more ragged? Or at least worn in? This thing looks like its brand new.

I think it looks fine. A live action anime is never going to look the way you want it, because cartoons don't translate well to IRL. Not even ones with a grounded artstyle.

I'll chunk it out when it releases.

His name kinda gives him away lol

But I think his look was based on a Japanese actor.

Reminds me of when I was a horny teen and was so adamantly against Anna Paquin as Rogue prior to the first X-Men movie's release, clamoring for a busty statuesque goddess first and a good actress a distant second. Fortunately now, as a horny man, I can better recognize that there's a time and a place for such things.

Spike Spiegel was supposed to be 27 y/o.

John Cho is 49 y/o now.

You gotta add 22 years to Jet Black to fit the role and balance things out IMO.

Or at least have an actor that looks 57 y/o

Faye Valentine is supposed to be 23 y/o (Cryogenically frozen time = 77 y/o in total)

I guarantee they are gonna have John Cho play younger than his actual age. Which for better or worse is something Hollywood has no issue with for male actors.

They didn't cast a comparably aged Faye because women dont get that same leeway. They are typically forced to play approximately their actual age.

Women can still be sexy while being older.

What would Spike Spiegel behave like if he's 22 years older?

I don't think any of the storyline beats or major plot points would change.

It's a story of betrayal & revenge.

That really doesn't change much once you get older.

That shouldn't be hard considering spike's fighting style is largely based off of Bruce Lee's Jeet Kun Do

John Cho just needs to train hard under some Jeet Kun Do masters and get ready for the role.

All of the casting is the shits. There's no consistency there. Spike is Asian, yet Jet Black is black? That's like making the black ranger black, it's racist casting. Spike and Jet are arguably implicitly Asian characters despite looking white. Faye looks nothing like Faye, and there's no excuse there. And that's not getting into the age of the people cast.

It'd be nice if for once if the creators of a live-action show bothered to watch the show they were adapting.

My money is on Ed being black, simply because she's a red head and Hollywood must prelace all red heads with black people for some wierd reason.

Faye is supposed to be Asian. They picked the wrong actress for sure.
Spike Spiegel was based off of an Asian actor, so I don't mind an Asian playing him.
Jet clearly wasn't supposed to be black.

Faye could not get away looking like that in live action, but this is just so conservative for the character. I think there is a reasonable middle ground. I also like John Cho, but I don't buy him as an action hero...

So Faye I would expect to look the most asian. Spike I kind of envisioned almost half asian/ half caucasian of some sort, but Cho I don't buy as an action lead. Jet I am fine with any direction, but it is weird that they only wanted to hire black actors.
