Why feel the need to cast white actors in a show that is set in an Asian country

I get why they were concerned about the whitewashing cause everyone hates it when netflix messes with the source material in their adaptions & changes things for no reason but them mandating all non-white actors seems a bit picky to me cause for minor characters the race shouldn't really matter

they probably would do this if they could

​

Avatar The Last Airbender is one of the only animated series that i could rewatch today and still be heavily into it

I don't know if a live action series would work, also considering that flop of a movie

But we'll see. Lots of potential for this world and characters

They going to do avatar like they did with death note

No white actors seem like cap. I think Netflix def wanted recognizable white actors in main roles though.

Wasn’t that one of the biggest gripes about the s***ty ass movie? It’s been forever since I’ve seen it but they tried to make it seem more serious and s*** and it was just so corny and lame

Definitely woulda had a “Katara f***s Jet” storyline.

A lot of the leads will definitely be white. I doubt Netflix would learn that lesson at all

LMFAOO

Why would it honestly be that hard to cast all non white actors? It's already an established series that people will watch regardless, you don't need big stars to sell it

Netflix probably shy from Marco Polo not being as big as they’d hoped. Only had 1-2 white people in the entire show iirc. It was a great show nonetheless

If they want the darker tone adapt Korra then

Netflix said f*** them kids, hopefully OG creators still making animated show

I thought Witcher was supposed to be their next game of thrones. How many GoT do they need?

you feeling excluded?
