No but haven't seen anything else to make you think its going to be bad for any other reason.
And its not a major flaw, its bares no weight on the film internally whatsoever.

2 - And let me reiterate. If this movie is a hit, the studio will use it as a market excuse to screw over Asian and Asian AmericanTalent even more in the future. Because why bother casting Asian Talent when you can just put the most marketable white girl in the lead and still make bank?

Each man is paired off to create four different teams, and each team is tasked with tracking the Major; however, the Major proves to be a difficult target to track, and eventually she loses all four teams attempting to track her.

There's context for situation in the original, but for this clip we aren't burdened with any of that; it's literally just a dude getting beat up, and that could apply to any scenario one wants. Seems to me they adapted a bunch of visually striking scenes and other ideas from various parts of the franchise into their story. Nothing wrong with that.

Besides, ScarJo looks pretty spot-on for the Major's depiction in the anime and the manga art, which is what I care about.
Ray wrote:The fact is the major was Asian in the books she was Asian in the anime, but for the pure naked purpose of marketing shes white for this particular adaptation. Which is both betrayal of the source material and it screws the numerous Asian actors who would literally kill for a role like this, out of a job that could serve to springboard them to fame.
I feel the same way about then making kusanagi white the same way I feel about them rebooting Ghostbusters and making it so that the original movies and characters never existed
It's called Mukukoseki. Look it up.

2 - The difference is, that movie looked like shite from the beginning
3 - Doesn't change the fact that ScarJo, in the trailer at least, looks perfect for the role, and a lot like the Major in the art.
