The movie turned Major into a Robocop. The Major in the anime had grown up in an cybernetic body her whole life, the Manga flushes her character out more and she's a bit more comical then the serious portrayal of her in the animes. <br /><br />Scarlet didn't do bad with the material, but they just strung scenes together without even a realistic theme and removing the fact that Major Kusinagi had in fact grown up a cyborg made it lose something that helped explain the Major's attitude and lack of sympathy for "real people". Truth be told they could of really gone one step further and made Scarlet's mother black. Since her body was nothing more then a shell, using a CGI picture of Scarlet being black with Asian features. Then you could say real white washing was involved (snicker). (Rimshot)<br /><br /><br />Joe Falconhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16686469769146443936noreply@blogger.com
