All signs point to either the producers/directors just not caring or them pulling a Fant4stic and trying to re-imagine almost everything to do with the setting in a drive to tell the story they want to tell instead of the one they are supposed to be telling.
Which has led to this looking like a live action sequel to 'All-Star Batman And Robin: The Boy Wonder', or ASBAR for short. Hell, I half expect Linkara to review this under his Miller Time Segment!
More like the worst parts of the 90's, only without giving Robin massive shoulderpads, straps, pouches, and huge future guns. Probably due to how cheap this show looks.
It shouldn't be such a massive issue in the first place.
Well, of course it shouldn't but I think they blew the budget on writers. I mean, I've never heard of a better crafted joke that Robin shooting three people, crushing the trachea of a fourth, and then saying 'fuck Batman.' They must have hired the best of the best.
It's not a Bindi, which is a cultural thing, it's a focusing gem to cover her "3rd Eye" (psychic pseudoscience thing, not physical). She's not even from earth.
...I'm curious, why do you thing we care about the skin color? Do you think our reactions would be different if she were white? I know my wouldn't.
I described Anna Diop accurately, as she is a black woman. Edit: I didn't impute particular racist intention on anyone's part. If you want to accuse me of something, such as racism for seeing race when I should be colourblind, or some such silly sausage nonsense, do us all a favour and be a little more brave. Come out and say it. Being coy and "simply asking questions" is weak tea.
We are mocking the fur coat. It's been pointed out by several people that the actress looks more like the character without the makeup and hair they gave than she does with it.
Pfff hahahahaha.
Ok, just pfff... ok.
*deep breath*
That was funny, dude, it was a honest question, most of the people here don't mention her skin when complaining about her so I was curious about why you decide to do it, you say it was to described her accurately *shrug* ok, don't need to be so defensive about it.
Didn't actually notice that one. And in my case I think it's mostly that I'm going to instinctively attack when I see someone defending this show. It looks awful, so much so that I'd think it was a prank like thst old Live Action Zelda movie trailer from years ago. And I hate "edgy" reboots so goddamn much that I wanted to through my ipad at the wall watching this trailer.Pictured, people complaining about the coat.
Why you'd lump yourself in with this lot, @Arawn_Emrys, I don't know.
This funny for two reasons. Firstly, and I didn't realise it at the time of my first post, but one of the nasty things I've quoted above actually does use some variation on the phrase "ghetto streetwalker", so your attempt to portray me as shrilly reacting to non-existent words is provably wrong. You didn't even try to cover your ass before you posted. Gotta set those shots up more carefully, son.
The second, equally amusing thing, is that you still haven't even tried to address the criticisms that calling women "whores" is bad, likewise disparaging sex workers. If you're here to engage with what I'm actually saying, you're currently doing a terrible job of that, too.
Hell, here's number three: you've stuck with this long enough to try and get a rise out of me so clearly you feel invested to some degree, but you only started in on this 3/10 bait throwing when I called out people for being shitty to women even though I didn't name you personally.
I wonder why?
Find a way to do it without hating on sex workers.
Says the person who went defensive and tried to make backhand acussations of racism in response to well-deserved criticism.Pfff hahahahaha.
Ok, just pfff... ok.

I'd actually be willing to put money down that if we could see into an alternative reality where it was a white actress portraying Starfire I'd be seeing a lot more references to Lady Gaga, Iggy, or some other pop singer than I would people doing their worst impression of Frank Miller's writing.
Eeh, i don't really care about the actress, she looks like she would look great in the roll, as shown by people photoshopping her pictures. Its how she was made up that bothers me. First, starfire is supposed to be solar powered. As in, she requires sun exposure on bare skin to have powers. The only exposure in the trailer was a boob-window (how empowering
), her hands, and her face. she looked like she was wearing leather thigh boots even! Second, starfire is happy. That was one of her defining characteristics in TT, despite everything that had happened to her she kept her spirits high. That was not what we got in the trailer. And third, starfire uses green plasma bolts, she isn't a regular colored flamethrower.Eeh, i don't really care about the actress, she looks like she would look great in the roll, as shown by people photoshopping her pictures.

Eh, her brother usually runs around in a speedo, so I don't have a problem with her showing more skin. Oddly, it seems like her evil sister was the one who covered up more in the original.Thebreath's through her skinabsorbs sunlight defense doesn't work when we have this guy with the same thing going on.
Or even this guy who is the same species as she is.
Superman isn't solar powered, he's solar-catalyzed so he only needs that little bit. Skimpy cloting is a thing for most tamareneans, as seen in the pictures of her home world.
That's an extremely atypical male Tamaranean.Or even this guy who is the same species as she is.
Is this some kind of a Tamaranean reverse-nudist?Thebreath's through her skinabsorbs sunlight defense doesn't work when we have this guy with the same thing going on.

Frankly anything meaningfully less revealing than this is subpar for Tamaraneans in my book:
Also my er... lets call it a diatribe about this trailer is ballooning significantly. This might take even longer.
[Whispers gently into your ear.] Old comics are not in fact sacred.Let's take a look at Tamaren.
It is almost like Tamaren's don't have a physiological need to show the maximum amount of skin but simply don't have hang ups about showing skin. That is the thing the good writers go with. I mean the whole feespirited alien thing that is part of Starfire's character doesn't work as well if she is only naked and mostly naked for physiological reasons.
