Whitewashing in film

edit

I'll admit I'm not really in the know in regards to the KOF video game series as the last time I played one was when the Sega Channel was still a thing, but how is the topic of whitewashing in film relevant enough to this film to be linked to? Spartan198 (talk) 14:01, 16 August 2017 (UTC)Reply

Yes, this is another problem in why I disliked the film is the video game character is a ethnic Japanese or maybe half Japanese. The worse part is they got hair, hairstyle, storyline all wrong it bssically has nothing to do with the movie.
Kyo Kusanagi is a Japanese fighting character, ethnically Japanese. yet they made him American played this actor Sean Faris. I'm not surprised by the movie getting bombed is that they think they can make a movie popular video game franchise. I knew it was bad but I didn't knew it was this extremmely bad, it was nothing related with the video game at all.
Another problem is these characters Maggie Q as Mai Shiranui, Will Yun Lee as Iori Yagami. They aren't even Japanese despite all 3 of the main characters ( like the front cover shows ) being ethnic Japanese. -Vamlos (talk) 03:27, 6 October 2020 (UTC)Reply
