Holy fark. That's actually, honest to god RACIST. jpanaese names are everywhere on earth now. Jesus.

It looks like the studios seem to think that they've got to dumb it down for the supposed American Audiences who don't want to see a movie about a bunch of foriegners. Somehow though, I don't think anyone but those who already know the title are really interested in watching the movie.

/Travis, John - meet Tak and Iggy.

Hollywood:

Please make a good movie about Deadpool.

Three ways to make sure the Thor movie won't suck:
1. Get J. Michael Straczynski involved. Even if they don't have him write it, they should at least get his input and keep his number on speed dial.
2. Set it up in a similar way to the Cap America movie. The rumors I've heard have the entire film set in Asgard. The movie ends with Loki fleeing to Earth, Thor following, and everything being neatly set up for their appearances in The Avengers.
3. Don't cast a professional wrestler as Thor. FOR THE LOVE OF ODIN... DON'T CAST A PROFESSIONAL WRESTLER AS THOR!

If they do these things I can see the film having great potential.

What? No Vampirella ?(NSFW?)

I dunno, a super-white buddy of mine's name is takemoto.

Well, if they do it, they better have the line, "KAAAAAAANEEEEEEEEEEEDAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!"

They won't - they've already changed the names of the two lead characters. Tetsuo is now Travis and, I believe, Kaneda is now John. Pathetic.


dj_bigbird: LEAVE GHOST IN THE SHELL ALONE!

THIS!

You know, I really like the Ghost in the Shell SAC series...this potential movie would have big shoes to fill.

It's going to suck, and you know it. Its setting be moved to the U.S., dumbed down a LOT so dumbasses in Texas will understand it, Gwyneth Paltrow or some other lameass actress will play the Major, Ben Affleck will play Batou, etc.

My agreement with you that this movie will suck aside, you're a pompous jackass. Seriously. I'm not sure which is more pathetic: How far you went out of your way to bash an entire state for no reason, or your claim that Gwyneth Paltrow is a lame actress.

Wish They Would Make A Mister Miracle Movie....
