The representation numbers are no where near accurate compared to the Ethnic composition of the US citizenry.

At this rate, we should probably be asking to implement "Affirmative Action" onto Hollywood & Broadway.

So there are Latinas on whatever planet Starfire is from?

This reminds me of people being angry when a white dude was cast as Goku in the shitty live action Dragonball movie. He's an alien, whoop de doo.


Were they mad cause he was white or because the actor looked like a doofus and wasn't muscular?

Goku may not be human but sayians clearly look Japanese. just like Superman seems to look white. and he passes for white. people who know Clark Kent in life but don't know he's superman, think he's a white man.

What I don't get is if they didn't want to put in the effort of coloring the actress's skin orange, why didn't they replace Starfire with Bumblebee and cast her in that role? Why not do something that makes sense rather than go down this shit PR road that's obviously going cause the show to be a massive failure?

I'll give you a simple example.

Throughout the entire CW's Arrow-verse, how many East Asians are part of the main cast? 0

While in Agents of Shield, they have 1.5 East Asians as main cast members.

So, because TWO SHOWS, out of THOUSANDS, not including movies, don't have 5 percent, it's just not true?

We've had how many shows since the Arrow-verse started?

Arrow
The Flash
Legends of Tomorrow
Supergirl
Black Lightning

None of those even had 1 Asian Main Cast member.

No there's like 5 arrowverse shows with no Asians of any importance

I guess Black Lightning had one Asian love interest who just... Disappeared.

We could go show by show across all the major networks and see next to no Asians though probably

This is a prime example of DC not knowing how to do shit, lets swing on over to the MCU and look at the character Gamora, she is a green skin alien woman yet no one gives one fuck that the actress is black cause in character she is GREEN.

Now back over to Starfire in the DC live action show, she is not orange, looks like a street hooker, and does not even remotely resemble the character.

Another character to look at would be Mantis and OMG she's also an MCU character yet looks like she is suppose to.

Shape the fuck up DC, this is why MCU is curbstomping you.

Don't hate me but lets all try to imagine if Marvel decided to just skip all the world building and character arcs, instead of a good plan after Iron-Man 1 they just did an Avengers movie and then followed up with Captain America, then went straight to Civil War or Avengers 3.

No intro to Thor, GOTG, Ant-Man, Dr. Strange, or Black Panther(depending on how they went with it). Imagine how little of a shit people would give and how so many would be confused and asking "who the hell are these characters.

Sit back and really think about that, now look at the "Worlds of DC" and how they are lucky Superman, Batman, The Flash and Wonder Woman are very well known.
