even in conversations about amc's evident racism and treatment towards their cast of color, y'all still exclude assad, it's actually alarming how little credit he gets for his performance and how much he's given to this show
so many people love to act ignorant about the responsibilities that making louis a black man in the show carries, we all know they will follow the books but the optics and consequences of every action taken by network executives and creatives change because of that decision
like i know jacob anderson loves sam reid and every creative behind iwtv with all his heart but it must feel so discouraging and quite sad to have led a show for 2 seasons but only see the show get substantial marketing when your white co-lead plays the titular role
“guy from critical role” (travis willingham) being sephiroth is doubly hilarious if you use the exact same phrasing to point out that the previous voice of sephiroth was in fact derek hale of mtv’s teen wolf
more racism in my favorite vampire show, disability eugenics discourse for the five billionth time, yet another societal schism re: rampant antiblackness in asian communities… i very specifically will never know peace…
travis willingham of all people getting nepotism networking allegations just made me start cackling out loud.
travis willingham. roy mustang. takashi morinozuka. thor in basically every video game. knuckles the echidna in basically every side game. recently superman.
Isn’t Matt Mercer from Critical Role? I would hate to see roles being given to simply because people are friends… but hey, that’s how the industry works in this generation!
@Antykill_ yeah i know! he explicitly got on dbz through laura before they dated lmao. but comparing the reputation of 2000s travis to 2026 travis as if he’s not accomplished in his own right is a choice to make
me and my friends: “oh so we’re allllllll playing dps is what you’re saying”
(side note: played a spiteful all dps team the other day and still won lmao)
jacob is a very gracious man because if you assassinated my character and still refused to take accountability for your own writing I’d blow the whole room up
@TheReunionVII when the premise of the argument hinges on his relationship with an entirely separate man as opposed to his extensive va credits it does become very funny i’m sorry
