Yeah, I still can't get over seeing Rasputin wearing sunglasses. I think ultimately the character/creature design was a mixed bag. Hellboy looked great, but Abe looked pretty wack. The odd changes like making Liz a romantic interest rather than a little sister-type character were really not needed.

Francis himself from Deadpool joins the cast
Ed SkreinVerified account @edskrein 19m19 minutes ago Excited to join the #Hellboy cast as Ben Daimio. All praise due to the creator @artofmmignola #BPRD apparently this character is Asian-American in the comics and people are upset that he is being white washed

I hope they paid him something. I'm conflicted about this. I understand where everyone is coming from, and if the actor really did step aside because he thought it was the right thing to do then that shows a certain amount of integrity.. At the same time, there is a certain lack of artistic integrity in letting twitter call the shots. The next actor in this guy's shoes is in for a rough ride.

Bad move on whoever cast him, good move on him for backing out. I dunno why Hollywood has such a hate-boner for Asians.

Twitter has nothing to do with it. Or at least, I doubt it is the main reason. |

I agree they should have cast someone else, but based on the way this went down, I don't see how you can say Twitter had nothing to do with it. The dude took the job, and backlash made him quit. Do you think he would have done so sans backlash?

"Made him quit."
It's true. Twitter had a knife and everything.

How many people were talking about Ed Skrein before he did this? How many people are talking about Ed Skrein now?

GitS was of course a hackwork film that alienated a lot of its potential audience in several ways, but ScarJo's casting was a big turn-off to everyone. Not just Skrein, but Hellboy in general. The last movie came out like 10 years ago; something like this is a great way to get people's ears to perk up, especially in the tornado of comic book films we have now. |

If Ghost in the Shell, or The Last Airbender, had been better movies in general the outrage would have been easily forgotten.
Calling this Twitter Outrage dismisses the fact that this is what cultural shifts look like. I stand by my original assessment of this being a gutsy movie on the actor's part, because it's still a gamble. It'll only be a savvy one if it pans out in his favor.

I'm saying Hollywood has a selective memory, but the public does not.
What people are dismissing as Twitter Outrage isn't anything new. It's always been there. What's changed is that now people are paying attention to it.

but when films like Ring or Edge of Tomorrow does it, the internet doesn't care.

I am pretty sure, that it lackluster box-office more tied to the quality of the movie itself, rather any other factors. |
