Why are you assuming they’re recasting based in race and not talent? Do we know the the rest of the actors casted?Because TLOU has representation without socio-political commentary. If you are recasting based on race than its likely they are going to integrate that as a theme. Especially if the majority of the cast will now be black
5 of the 11 named main/secondary characters in the first game and expansion are already black. Now Joel, Tommy and Sarah will be black too. So 8 of the 11 will be black

Always hated racism and racist people, but I'll be honest, all this sjw shit is slowly making me racist over time
And what?And....
If you’re going to build on an existing ip, it’s to leverage the built in fan base. Fans have expectations from the setting and characters. If you’re going to deliberately squander that, why bother. Do something new.
Nice answer. That’s what people usually say when they can’t come up with a proper explanationSerious question: are you retarded?

So you think blacks and whites are the same? Are you stupid? They have very different cultures. If that's the case then put a Chinese instead.Those aren't equivalent at all. Ellie being gay is a huge story point in the series. Joel's ethnicity is not.
It's close enough, she was really great in GoTEh, I don’t think this is good casting either. Her face looks more like Abbeys.
Damn, TLoU really won't let any black guys live.
I can guarantee none of the black characters are being turned white. And if Joel is now a black character, then his immediate family will be tooWhy are you assuming they’re recasting based in race and not talent? Do we know the the rest of the actors casted?

I was hoping for Maisie to get the role.It's close enough, she was really great in GoT
The oldest stereotype in the horror book!
I'm somewhat uncomfortable with the direction you seem to be going in here.So you think blacks and whites are the same? Are you stupid? They have very different cultures. If that's the case then put a Chinese instead.
Cool, we can get a new, fresh story from Joel then, not a rehash from the game. New things can be good things.If you change the race of the character then you are changing the character. A black Joel and white Joel haven't lived the same circumstances
She's 23. How old is Ellie in the show? Same age as the first game?I was hoping for Maisie to get the role.
The story is fine as isI'm somewhat uncomfortable with the direction you seem to be going in here.

Imagine if they cast a Black Geralt for the Netflix Witcher Series that would be like this if true wtf
Bit old reallyI was hoping for Maisie to get the role.
Geralt is a fictional character in a fantasy version of Eastern Europe, where people of color were rare. Joel is a dude from modern day Texas. He could easily be Black, White, Latino, Asian, whatever.
So blacks and white are the same? Dafuq are you talking about? Whites and blacks are nothing alike, they even speak so differently.Amazing actor and I don't think Joel's race is particularly relevant to the character.
What? Get out of here with this Stormfront shit.
American media still called CDPR racist for not including black characters in the game so...
So blacks and white are the same? Dafuq are you talking about? Whites and blacks are nothing alike, they even speak so differently.
They even have the same beard tech
And what?
I don’t know how much simpler I can make my words. Should I try use emotes?
How do we even know that scene is even in the show? Isn’t this an adaptation if the source material?I can guarantee none of the black characters are being turned white. And if Joel is now a black character, then his immediate family will be too
Frankly it changes the context of a lot of scenes. The implications of Joel and his daughter being shot by the police in the first part of the game are totally changed by him being black. The entire frame of what shaped Joels character is fundamentally recontextualised
Race doesn't live in a bubble. If you change the race of the character then you are changing the character. A black Joel and white Joel haven't lived the same circumstances
She's 23. How old is Ellie in the show? Same age as the first game?
Yeah true. She was 14 in the first game.Bit old really
So you think blacks and whites are the same? Are you stupid? They have very different cultures. If that's the case then put a Chinese instead.
I think you're confusing adaptations with race washingI'm not saying anything about it only addressing that users post saying "why does this only happen one way???" when its historically the opposite.
I dont think Joel should be blackSo blacks and white are the same? Dafuq are you talking about? Whites and blacks are nothing alike, they even speak so differently.
Could be, but instead the developed character is a burley white dude. It’s a matter of expectations by fans now. If he started out as lightning fast Chinese guy proficient in martial arts, that would be the expectation.Geralt is a fictional character in a fantasy version of Eastern Europe, where people of color were rare. Joel is a dude from modern day Texas. He could easily be Black, White, Latino, Asian, whatever.
Why? Seriously, how can someone say blacks and white are equal when they obviously aren't. We all have different cultures, blacks, whites, latinos, asians, indians, we are all different. Is one thing for all of us to have the same human rights but it's a completely different thing to say we are all the same. No we aren't, we are very different, that's what makes us special. A black guy shouldn't be portraying a white character just like a white guy shouldn't be portraying a black character. You can do it if you want for sure, but if you do it then it's no longer the same character.
I think you're confusing adaptations with race washing
When Tom Cruise appeared in Edge of Tomorrow, that was an American adaptation of a Japanese novel to appeal to west.
90% of the world doesn't even know there is a novel or that the main character is completely different race & name.
Funny enough they do the same with their adaptations too, except people don't bitch about them..
This is an adaptation,
new characters, new story, same premise
This is race washing
same story, same characters but different race, same premise
There's a BIG difference.
So blacks and white are the same? Dafuq are you talking about? Whites and blacks are nothing alike, they even speak so differently.
Funny you used Simon. Are you gonna tell me white americans are equal to white britains?I dont think Joel should be black
But damn some of you are embarrassing
The braying around The Witcher supposedly lacking people of color was fortunately a faux-outrage whipped up by a handful of gaming journalists. That shit was beyond contempt.
