Oh, honey, no.

Megan Fox: I don't want people to protest this, but I would like to be Rainmaker in Gen 13 if they ever made that into a movie. She's a Native American, and I have a little bit of that blood in me. It would be a bit of a stretch—but if Jake Gyllenhaal can be the Prince of Persia, I think that I can do that.

See, you always worry about how this racebending/whitewashing stuff is going to affect young people and there you go. I hope you're happy, Jake Gyllenhaal. You've corrupted Megan Fox.

Well to be fair, she seems to be into it because really like the character. I mean, if someone offered me the role of, say, Farrah in a more faithful remake of Prince of Persia, or Nico in runaways I would be like, JUST LET ME GET MY FAKE TAN AND EYE MAKEUP. And fandom would be rightfully outraged, but I'd be happy, cause I'd be Farrah/Nico/Storm/Azula/Toph/whoever.

But yeah, shame on you, Jake Gyllenhall! (He definitely only did it for the moneys.)

Normally I'd have a problem with this, but given that my every attempt to read Gen13 has sputtered and died with the realization that the writers consider Rainmaker's personality to be lesbian, I can't bring myself to object to nice tits in the role.

I care less about her race and more about the fact she's an idiot with no acting talent.

*sigh* Yeah. That's just sad.

it's not like it's new. Even classically trained actors do it.

Patrick Stewart wanted to play Othello so much he produced a version of the play where everyone else was black
