You know, I think this is the only place I've seen any serious disagreement on this issue.
Everywhere else, across a pretty wide political spectrum, it's gone about like this.
-Certain main characters in the tv series are obviously non-white. Exact ethnic types are hard to pin down in animation (especially animation not necessarily
intended to depict this world), but "non-white" is obvious enough.
-There's also a rather white-looking character who, for this part of the story, would be considered the villain.
-In the movie casting, the above-mentioned main characters have been given obviously white actors.
-The above-mentioned sort-of-villain has been given an obviously non-white actor.
-That's pretty damn suspicious, isn't it?
I'm not sure why people seem to have an issue with the director being Shyamalan in particular. But then I do judge him entirely on the basis of
Unbreakable, which may not be representative. But it should be.
Of course, he might not be the only person who has a say in the casting? Well, maybe he is, I don't know. `.`
