O come on! Don't start

No! You need to stop trying to divert the attention from a subject that is VERY relevant and real in our society just cuz it makes you uncomfortable.

She's not being shown off because nobody gives a fuck about her. Brie has a Oscar, so she's way closer to a household name than Jing Tiang or whatever

We can talk about racial casting when it affects commercial viability of a movie but let's not turn this into something else, something more ...destructive.....

How about you bring it up when it's actually relevant? You know, instead of yelling "racist!", you can look at the evidence even if it makes you feel uncomfortable.

Yeah, when white people cannot successfully open a movie even when their life depended on it but regardless of that continue receive all the offers in the world. POC don't have that privilege.

You wouldn't use the same "Oscar" argument if for example Monique was playing Jing's role...YOU would still argue that Brie was more important and significant.

My point is that in the movie they serve SAME purpose, both have love interests, different jobs but devoted to the mission of exploring the island, and they BOTH get into various incidents involving monsters...it's not like Brie somehow gets later romantically linked to Kong himself and gets separated (alá Ann) from the group, if that was the case then I would have bought the argument....

You better hope that you're right on all of this because if Brie has a bigger role, you'll look like a fool.

I do 

 

But I'm not sure why this is an argument. In addition to Jing Tian not being a very good actress (granted, the Great Wall was my only sample), she's not a lead, and it's not even like Brie Larson has had that much stuff in the marketing. She didn't even have a line in the trailers until literally this last trailer

Wait, this is the chick from Great Wall? She was pretty bad in that.

 

 

Then again the whole movie sucked

To be fair to her, everybody was kinda bad in it, save Andy Lau, the bro, and that was a 3/10 effort from him

[Cookson]

Hopefully this movie is more of a walk up instead of presales.

Even Dafoe sucked.

Can the select few of you posters crying racism on this please stop? How the hell is anybody reading racism into this? . If you guys really are from the Internet Movie Database forms and you behave here like you did at that Cesspool of garbage your time here will be very short.

Those are opinions, not facts.

The fact is that she was not featured in ANY (like ZERO) marketing, NO posters/promos, she wasn't even invited to any red carpets nor interviews to promote the movie....I can't believe how NO one in here is seeing how problematic this is.
