This is Not CoD related, but infact having to do with the HTTYD live action that's coming out.
More specifically one problem that I'm seeing almost IMMEDIATELY and I hate it so I'm going to talk about it
Ok Before I actually get into it I want to preface with this: Not everyone is going to agree with me, some people might even think I'm incredibly wrong. And that's okay because this is my opinion and you have yours, and I, infact, am not saying that you have to take my opinion as fact
Anyway! SO the HTTYD live action has started filming. There's been talk about it for years, I'll be honest, I never really thought it would happen. Especially not this soon after the third movie.
Whether I'm excited for this film or not is yet to be seen. On one hand I definitely don't believe anything could top the original. And live actions are not always the best remake, especially for animated movies like this one. But on the other hand they DO have Dean Deblois back, and they've kept the original actor for Stoick, so at least we'll recognize one voice. Also I have high hopes for the soundtrack, since John Powell will be back. But again I'm still skeptical about the movie.
What I really wanted to talk about is, I just saw a tiktok talking about the movie (TT user: Straw Hat Goofy), I don't really have much to say about the video itself, it was good informationally. But I wanted to talk about the comments.
So as was stated in the video and confirmed officially, Actress: Nico Parker will be cast to play Astrid. Fine, dandy, lovely, I see no problem. Apparently not everyone thinks this way...

(Ignore my shitty editing to scribble out usernames and pfps)
Theres more. A lot more :(
Not the only reason I can see people actually complaining about the casting of Nico parker is (apparently) blatant racism.
Like I understand that the original movies Astid was a blue-eyed, blonde haired girl, but I don't think this slight change should be that big of a deal. If her acting is shit, historically, she wouldn't have been cast. And her appearance (especially something she CANNOT change about herself) WILL NOT make or break the movie.
Let me repeat that
NICO PARKER'S SKIN COLOR WILL NOT MAKE THE MOVIE SHITTY
Guys, this is the same thing that happened/is happening with the Percy Jackson series, people objected to Leah Jeffries being casted as Annabeth. But Leah is a phenomenal actor, and in my opinion, is the perfect actress for the role.
If you really have a problem with Astrid not looking like she did in the animated movies then DON'T WATCH the live action. Simple as that. Ignorance is bliss in this case, so be blissful. It's 2024 people are dying, people are living, and people still can't change the color of their skin (nor should they have to (or want to, especially if it's only to fit society) even if they could)

I was bored, so I did a movie cast meme featuring characters present within my AU based on the 2021 Mortal Kombat movie.
The cast: - The hero - Liu Kang (Ludi Lin)
- The hero's love interest - Sonya Blade (Jessica McNamee)
- The sidekick - Kung Lao (Max Huang)
- The sidekick's friend - Cole Young (Lewis Tan)
- The sidekick's second friend - Jax (Mehcad Brooks)
- The sidekick's love interest - Li Mei (no actress yet)
- The redeemer - Kuai Liang/Sub-Zero (Yoshi Sudarso)
- The redeemer's friend - Hanzo Hasashi/Scorpion (Hiroyuki Sanada)
- The redeemer's love interest - Kitana (Adeline Rudolph)
- The hero's parents - Lee Kang and Lin Kang
- The hero's best friend - same as the sidekick
- The hero's superior - Raiden (Tadanobu Asano)
- The traitor - Kano (Josh Lawson)
- The traitor's friend - Kabal
- The traitor's second friend - nobody else (I can't really see anyone else befriending Kano)
- The one who dies first - Johnny Cage (Karl Urban)
- The villain - Shang Tsung (Chin Han)
- The villain's bodyguard - Goro
- The villain's henchmen - Bi Han/Noob Saibot (Joe Taslim), Mileena (Sisi Stringer), Syzoth/Reptile, and Reiko (Nathan Jones)
- The villain's love interest - Nitara (Mel Jarnson)
Author's notes:
- While Karl Urban is playing Johnny Cage in the upcoming sequel, I used the image of Simpy Cage aka his counterpart from the Legends animated movies. I'm not too excited for the sequel, one of the reasons why is because of a huge emphasis on Johnny Cage and what his role will be over arguably more important things like whether or not Liu Kang will be the hero and defeat Shang Tsung.
- Jade, Shao Kahn, Sindel, Quan Chi, Baraka and Jerrod have been cast for the upcoming sequel, but I did leave them out of this meme since I had nowhere to include them. I could have easily cast Jade as Kung Lao's love interest, and it's great if you ship them, though I kinda ship him with Li Mei more.
- The images for Li Mei and Reiko are from New MK1 since Li Mei is not in the film universe yet (and whether or not she will be depends on whether or not the film franchise keeps going), and the way Reiko was depicted in MK 2021 was really lame.
- Yoshi Sudarso isn't confirmed to be Kuai Liang/Sub-Zero in the sequel (at least, as far as I'm aware), but he is quite a fan favorite choice to play the character if he ever does appear in the film universe.
That's all for now.

Look what I found :)
OMG, Charles my beloved!!!!!
I actually theorized that he'd be cast as their Dad, so this is amazing to see! Also, it seems like we're gonna get quite a bit of backstory for the Bros! Ngl, I'm so excited for that! I wonder what kind of role Uncle Arthur and Tony will play?
Tumblr media
In other words, I'm absolutely thrilled for this film!

This is why I believe changing the races of characters is both cheap and lame.
So, first characters are built on a lot of ideas. They are created to look a specific way and act a specific way.
Movies are another way to tell a STORY. They are not made to be mirrors of reality. The truth story's tell are supposed to be thematic. Something everyone can understand due to the common shared human experience. (Love, pain, betrayal, hope, fear) entertainment is not for agendas.
Why does this matter. Whitewashed characters changes their fundamental basics. You've just changed this character to fit something you want. That's very narcissistic. Skin color is a part of who you are because it's a part of your history and story.
Again so while a talented actor may be able to portray a character they still need the appearance. Perception is an important component in portrayal.
So I am a firm believer in following the books description. If the character has skin like hickory bark and golden eyes then that is important. If the character is deathly pale with jet black hair that's important too.

Petition to make the casting director for the new live action HTTYD cast “overweight” actors as the Vikings
They’re fluffy, they need protection from the cold, and natural muscles are never sculpted anyway. Gimme fluffy Vikings with intricate beards that could probably pass for dwarves in a LOTR remake.
The actor community needs more diversity and I’m tired of only seeing people that are as big around as twigs on TV and my peers comparing their waist size to theirs.

So me and my friends decided to come up with the worst Batman movie ever ans came up with this cast:
Playing Batman - Leonardo Decaprio
Robin - Justin Bieber
Alfred -Taylor Lotner
Joker - James Corden
Harly Quinn - Taylor Swift
Riddler - Adam Sandler
Mr Freeze - Vanilla Ice
Bane - Ray Mysterio
Red Hood - John Cena
Penguin - Lebron James
Commissioner Gordon - Morgan Freeman(This is probably the only good one up for debate if you want)
And my personal favorite(Solely because it’s the worst one), Killer Croc - Lady Gaga
If you wanna add to this list or suggest changes go on ahead the only rule is that whoever is casted has to be some form of celebrity.
