lol literally just falling for the joke I already made.

Cowboy Bebop is set in a space future. Spike is from Mars. Jet is from Ganymede.

Oh, and Faye is from Singapore.

This is already shaping up to be horrid

How?

Miscasting the main characters. All of them are white, not Asian or black. And typically when any show or movie shoehorns diversity like this it ends up sucking.


Looks like you dont know cowboy bebop like you think you do

There's gonna be a shitstorm when Faye's outfit is revealed no matter what it looks like.

I wish Man-Faye was still around. I'd watch that shit. At this point he needs a replacement.

Miscasting the main characters.

They haven't casted anyone yet though. Also, like any adaptation things don't have to be exactly like the source. The race of the characters never played a part in the show so it doesn't really matter the ethnicity of the actors tbh.

Just like with L in the Netflix Death Note movie. No one cared that Japanese characters Light, Misa, and Light's dad were played by White actors, but made a huge deal over L being played by a Black actor.

Reminds me when a black man was casted to play L in the Death Note movie, lol. What was so funny is that people were raging about that but didn't care about Light being non-Asian as well. I wonder why, lol.

We'll always have Dragonball Evolution and Last Airbender to point at as a counterexample.

We could have had Keanu Reeves, Ron Pearlman, and Charlize Theron, but nooo... they had to wait until all of them are too old for the roles.

Except Reeves, but he doesn't age so he's kind of the exception.

About Spike being Jewish: wasn't that just a minor meme poking fun at his Jewfro? >_>

"Spiegel" is a German surname though I suppose it can also be a Ashkenazi Jewish one.

I'd love for them to bring Yoko Kanno in to remix her old tracks, but barring that this at least sounds positive:
https://comicbook.com/anime/2018/12/04/netflix-cowboy-bebop-live-action-jet-black-race-change-rumor/

Splash Report recently shared a "spoiler filled" breakdown of the Netflix's new series' pilot episode, and the site's "resident expert on TV pilots" Ludens reports that Jet Black will be Black in the upcoming series. Noting that, "Jet Black in this show is black...But what matters most here is that they have nailed his personality. Jet feels like Jet. He may not look one-to-one like the anime, but he feels like it."

Ludens' take on the pilot episode's script (reportedly titled "Session One") is positive, and notes that the episode's writer Christopher Yost clearly has a reverence for the original anime series. There are many smaller differences, but the impression Ludens gives is that the pilot of the live-action series shares a lot more similarities than differences with the first episode of the original series.

also people babbling about the races of the characters are ridiculous and probably don't know much about the show. All of them are from various other planets except Faye, who is from Singapore and shown in an episode amidst classmates in very asian-style school uniforms. Spike is a little bit more iffy, but from what we know he was born on Mars in a predominately chinese area, and worked for a chinese crime syndicate so him being at least part-Chinese is possible if not likely.

Jet being black is the only outright unsupported one, but he's voiced by a black guy in the dub and I always thought of him as mixed race personally so I don't really care.

I wouldnt mind if Jet was black, but it is annoying that they are narrowing the search just to check a box. I mean Jet is somewhat ambiguous so I dont see why he cant be white, Latino, Asian or whatever type of mix as well.

All white casts just aren't gonna be a thing anymore.

There will never be another "Friends."

People just need to accept it.

Plus, all-white casts have been rare since the 80's anyway. People were making "token black" jokes since the 90's.

All of them are potentially white or part white except Faye. Spike comes off as wasian and Jet looks pretty much white, edd looks like a darker Asian mixed with something, and Ein is obviously Latino.

iirc spike was based off of a japanese dude

Also this is true

Spike was created by Shinichir Watanabe and Toshihiro Kawamoto as part of the production entity Hajime Yatate. Created as a mirror image of Watanabe and based on Yusaku Matsuda's character in Tantei Monogatari

Lol at the people saying they should be white and complaining about "forced diversity". You guys are worse than SJWs
