    Can we have a monthly Blackman Beyond special where Mark interviews a writer like this. Whether it be a top tier or a up and coming writer gaining steam because that would be amazing. Mark just knows all the right questions to ask.

    Before podcasts were a thing, Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse used to record weekly post-episode audio discussions for LOST, and they were absolutely fantastic. If you're interested in Damon or the writing process at all, and if you're ever re-watching the show, I highly recommend you seek them out.

    @Lowlandlord 4 года назад +1

    To be slightly fair to Emma Stone and that movie (Aloha), that character is meant to be someone who does Not look like her diverse ethnic background, she is based on a real person who does not look like her diverse ethnic background, who is part-Polynesian and part-Chinese and part-White (Swedish), but you can really only see the Swedish redhead. There is a similar thing for Iron Fist and Danny Rand, Danny Rand is meant to be an outsider, to have him played by a Chinese or Indian/Nepalese/Tibetan (that city is up there) person takes away a lot of the interesting parts of that story, and in fact turns it into a stereotypical caricature of an amazing Asian martial artist. Bruce Lee movies were awesome, but mostly not because of the writing or story. Also, Marvel already has that character, he is buddies with Danny, his name is Shang-Chi, he is the Master of Kung Fu and his story is fully of stereotypical depictions of Asians that date to the '30s with all the cultural sensitivity you would associate with that. The movie will be awesome, because I love it regardless, but there is a strong argument that making Danny Asian because it should be a story about Asian people because it is a story about martial arts (which are not unique to any specific ethnic group on the bloody planet) is racist itself. Danny also kind of sucks by himself, his sense of humour is kinda flat and he does not have great supporting characters (he tends to have one decent one, his current girlfriend, at a time), and really needs to be with Luke, and he plays a useful role there as a white person looking in on Luke's world as an ignorant white guy looking in at the world of African-Americans. You could have him be Asian and part of that still works, but the view point from white privilege doesn't work so much.
    Anyways, point is that whitewashing is totally a thing, but there are exceptions where it is not whitewashing, but actually part of the story (and part of the reality that that story is based on) in important ways. Emma Stone and Aloha have gotten a disproportionate amount of flak for that, there are more legitimate targets, sadly Christian Bale, Dwayne Johnson, Tilda Swinton and most of the cast of Gods of Egypt for instance.
    Btw, I am also enjoying the spread of Black Excellence in film, which puts films I, I very white guy, would not otherwise see. Women in film seems to be getting better too, and Asians in film. Really looking forward to Shang-Chi, would only be happier if it was in a world where he got to cross-over with Danny and Luke (and Jessica and Matt, and hell Moony when that comes out).
