@@saldiven2009 Why would they not? Black people* have enthusiastically bought into "Africans" as a single monolithic culture, to the point where they feel they can fold ethnically and racially distinct groups into their "AMERICAN black" mix. Because they ain't got time for all that tribal rigamarole. I've heard criticism from Africans about this very thing. The support from "black people" for Wakanda is not unanimous. Still, a success in America. But when Chinese-American and Japanese-American wokies try to do the same, it fails completely. Good. Because they HAVE vibrant and unique existing cultures that don't need to be pandered to. I think it would be proper to reject Hollywoods' amorphous "skin color" and "epicanthic fold" defining factors, just as I reject "white people" or even "European" for my own. *-AMERICAN black people.

After doing the audition, the director asked him to do the lines again but with more of an accent. The actor was so sick of doing another stereotypical "Asian" accent, he redid the lines as requested........but with an Irish/Scottish accent (the director never actually specified which accent he wanted).

She can imitiate anything she can see, including speech. So she has no need for ASL, other than with other deaf people, nor would anyone need to use it for her to understand them.

It's like he attended the Peter Dinklage School of F*cking Over People Like You After You've Already Succeeded. Pretty terrible timing to have a meltdown about that when he's supposed to be promoting a movie where he kicks ass using martial arts, but whatever. What's even more sad is that his whole attitude kind of put me off of watching Kim's Convenience, which was freaking hilarious. Unless things went really crazy in later episodes, I don't recall martial arts being part of that show. Also, one of my favorite older movies is "Flower Drum Song", which I don't remember there being a lot of kung fu in.

To rise to the occasion to help save his planet like Shad from 'Battle beyond the stars'. Or to be brave like Ripley in Aliens .. facing her worst nightmares all to save a small child. Or like Samwise Gamgee .. willing to risk everything for the love of his dear friend. I could name a thousand more heroes, adventures and people of fiction whom I look up to.

That ASL sign that Chris did means "bull$hlt." He didn't get it quite right, but he was very close. I'm not fluent in ASL, but I enjoy studying it because languages fascinate me. Idid teach high school physics at a private school for a long time, and my degree is in geophysics. That Echo fight scene definitely flaunts a sad ignorance of the laws of physics. And the glass shattering in the car... Oh my gosh. I think I asked my dad why auto glass shatters that way when I was 9 or 10 years old. My dad knew the exact reason, and explained it to me. Now that I'm an adult, I feel like that's something that 95% of Americans should know (the remaining 5% are either very young children, or somehow mentally disabled.) That's another reason why kids need to grow up with their father in the home. Kids need their dad around because so much knowledge is passed on to kids through simply spending time with their fathers. Here's another example of what I think should be common knowledge, common sense even, to about everyone in the Western world. I'm seeing characters (and by extension, their writers) who don't know this basic fact become more and more prevalent in shows and movies: Modern hotels all around the world do not have windows that open (to prevent people from self-deleting by jumping out their windows. (ESPECIALLY hotels in casinos, where losing your life savings, your kid's college funds, or even your home and/or automobile on a dumb bet could destroy your entire life in a minute). I caught that immediately when I saw The Hangover, and I knew where Doug actually was for about the whole movie. I really thought this was common knowledge to basically everyone. Americans, especially younger Americans from (or still in) the public education system are getting dumber and dumber every year it seems. Watching those Man On the Street videos showcase the complete ignorance and sad lack of basic knowledge among millennials and gen Z'ers. This has forced me to the inevitable conclusion that our country is doomed. It might take another couple of decades for this country to completely dissolve, but it feels like we're basically on autopilot to that. The country I grew up in no longer exists. All the great advantages and opportunities I had as a gen X'er, are no longer available to millennials and gen Z'ers. They won't be able to buy a home in their lifetimes, or start a business that can grow and scale up, and supports both them and their families and children for generations. I worry all the time about the world we're leaving to my six nephews and nieces. My generation has failed to preserve that world and all the great things about it for the generations to come. The challenges those kids will face in their lifetimes seem almost insurmountable. And those challenges they will face have never before been faced by any generation throughout human history. How will they ever be able to overcome and prevent the issues inherent in the use of this new thing called Social Media, for example? I worry about my nieces and nephews all the time lately. I've been losing sleep over it for years.

I love this comment, scary as it is. It reminded me that I read a story in Fantasy and Science Fiction magazine years ago worrying about that exact problem. It highlighted that a campus was full of vapidity, and that important knowledge like how to fix the water systems was getting lost. And as another generation X, it's terrifying how much we assumed everything in the 1990s would still be available today. Because it would be ridiculous to lose that, right?

They sold this as some groundbreaking show bc of the fact that they’d be making it “dark+gritty”…. apparently they forgot that was already successfully done with Daredevil, Jessica Jones, The Punisher, and Luke Cage. (Hell, even a show like Arrow was better than Echo at being dark+gritty haha)

@@gyorgyor7765 no I’m saying they didn’t make it dark and gritty to the level they claimed it’d be. (Tho yes a good story would’ve helped too.

Alan talks, assuming that anyone wants more native American focused movies. The elephant in the room is that it's not interesting. Disney doesn't need to put a family of every background on TV to validate them. If they need validation, disney + probably isn't the place to get it. It's also shoehorned and woke to just pretend this movie is setting natives back by not making a good show with a random native family. No, I don't want more box checking shows. If this will make producers second guess this shit, good.

We had "safety glass" in the late 60s. Every window had a white little oval that had the words "shatter proof glass" in it. My little sister in the early 70s had to test that on my Dad's late 60s station wagon with a hammer. Worked like a charm. Dad was unthrilled, as they said in the film "Pump Up the Volume" Great early movie of Christian Slater.

Tempered glass which is required in all US vehicles can still cut. It's lots of tiny little cuts and it's easier to avoid than big shards which can cut arteries or Sever limbs. That being said when tempered glass is shattered and falling to the ground it still has weight before it breaks apart and can rip-off flesh. I installed glass showers for 3 years

Oh my God, you've given me a fun idea for a joke in a spoof! A character has a prominent amputation, and the story keeps flashing back to events where that body part is injured. Each flashback is heavily implied to be how the limb was lost, but at the beginning of the each flashback, the limb is clearly intact, and each ends before the amputation is shown. There is no indication of the order of these flashbacks. Each one ends with a jump cut to the prosthetic.

The clue is in the word "Character." We like a "character,' not because they look like us, but because we can see something in their characteristics that we can identify with & aspire to. What goes on in these writers' heads when they look at a "hero" & think "Deaf, amputee indigenous women won't like this character as it fails to represent them", but whinge when anybody else says "i don't identify with this character"?
