Alright that good to hear

 

[Luffy is the mc]

I doubt the cast is going to be good. That's exactly the type of thinking that is going to fuck up the cast.
We need good actors wherever they coming from and a good story.

I don't give a shit about where the actors are coming from. That shouldn't be a criterion.

 

[Marimo_420]

I don't mind who plays what role so as long as the actors are of decent quality and have a resemblance to their characters, I will be happy.

But that does sound like a pretty cool concept, using people from different nationalities based on Odas SBS

 

[Afroking]

Is there someone out there, that has every African Nationality?

 

[Finalbeta]

This gonna be fun ~

 

[TheAncientCenturion]

On one hand, it's kinda cool to see each character / the universe itself being flavored with the many different cultures. On the other hand... I really think that criteria could lead to some iffy actors. Depends on how they do things, but I didn't have high expectations before. Def don't now.

That's the perfect way to cast Usopp, someone's going to have to start out by lying about their nationality.

Show us a picture so we can reject you:smithnie:

 

[Admiral Kizaru]

I wonder where they find a raccoon dog did SHCs pet :kizabat:

 

[MD Zolo]

That's stupid...other than Zoro and Sanji, Oda probably never thoroughly thought about the nationality of the Straw Hats. Hell... Zoro's one probably became correct by chance.

So, choosing actors based on SBS-based nationality is nonsense.

 

[Chrono]

If they can find a somali person to play Blackbeard....Ill applaud them.

 

[Admiral Kizaru]

too bad o

If they can find a somali person to play Blackbeard....Ill applaud them.

[Akuma_Law]

Now where the hell will they find a Canadian reindeer

 

[Admiral Kizaru]

Now where the hell will they find a Canadian reindeer

Not Canada, ask Santa:kizabat:

 

[Natalija]

It's cool if they try to branch out with the nationalities, and I don't think Netflix are fools to pick bad actors.

If they can find a somali person to play Blackbeard....Ill applaud them.

Baby steps, they're not going to get involved with Blackbeard in a ten episode season (?).

 

[bluefire12]

Wait who would cast Burgess and Doc Q?

 

[Akuma_Law]

Not Canada, ask Santa:kizabat:

 

[Seth]

They should hire Neymar for Luffy's role. Neymar knows how to act

 

[SmokedOut]

So Oda said Usopp is South African 🇿🇦, but they posted Kenya 🇰🇪, I guess it'll be a random black guy lol.
