      Aliens have race, there are multiple instances of differing races in fiction. Asari, Salarian, Quarian, Xenomporhs, Gungan, Sang'heli (The Elites from Halo) and so on are some prime examples of differing alien races and how distinct they appear from one another, and since we're discussing a fictional medium, there is no reason this cannot be taken with the same level of integrity as the race of a fictional character portraying an alien and their age; regardless of your concern.
      Starfire has always been predominantly European in her facial features. While I am not as bothered by this as other people are, I'd just rather she act the same as she does in either the comic books or cartoon (preferably the cartoon because I feel that would add levity to this grim looking series, and preferably the comic books for the lewd fan service Starfire has been known to provide, but knowing this is a grim dark looking series, they'd more than likely go this route)
      Also, she looks older because it seems like the studio was more inclined to make a statement and virtue signal by hiring a black actor to play Starfire a seminal known character in the DC pantheon than pay respects to the source material by having someone don the orange skin as I have seen so many comments in here lament and purposefully left her black, or maybe the budget ran out after Robin's costume and Beast Boy's green skin were included and they didn't bother to go that extra mile for Star Fire?
      I have not watched the series to know if she does any good or not. I have better things to do with my time, in case anyone is wondering, I'm here for the season 6 Teen Titans animated news.

      Starfire doesn’t have a specific race. She doesn’t look black because she very well isn’t. She doesn’t look Asian or Arab or Indian or European because she simply isn’t. She’s an alien. The showrunners should’ve just hired someone who was a good actress and had similar features to Starfire e.g. a small nose or high cheekbones. Instead they casted someone who looked nothing like the iconic character, made no effort to make her resemble her comic book counterpart, and then got confused when people didn’t take to the idea of Anna Diop being a perfect cast for Starfire. Like no fucking shit. What’d you think was gonna happen?? Obviously people were gonna be mad. How could they not be?

    Starfire: A pacifist. Only going to battle with the means of hurting or even killing when absolutely necessary.
    Raven: The strong goth chick who isolates her feelings. Not admitting that she hates herself more than her enemy.
    Beastboy: The innocent party boy who only wants people the best.
    What DC thinks Teen Titans is
    Robin: Angsty, ruthless and brutal teen who doesnt like batman for some reason
    Starfire: Burns people and is black
    Raven: Vulnerable and weak

    I'm sorry, but while I appreciate your perspective and agree with most of your main points, please allow me to correct your statement regarding the 1980 Teen Titans comic you displayed. That reboot, which you described as, in sum, boring, was anything but. Raven, Cyborg, Starfire, the Titans Tower, Trigon, Deathstroke, Terra, Brother Blood and many other characters and concepts debuted there, making a huge splash, and comic book history. It was a new and novel approach, with sharply written characters and some of the finest artwork of the era. It was also, frankly, a much-needed breath of fresh air for DC, which had little else coming out of the 70's except Green Lantern/Green Arrow and the sometimes excellent Detective Comics to be proud of. This is not to say the TT cartoon didn't bring the characters forward in important ways, but The New Teen Titans was the foundational source material. It deserves your respect and recognition.
    Also, a minor quibble, but the Daredevil Netflix series, while excessively (to my mind) and occasionally unmatchably gory, does not have it's hero murdering people. This is, in fact, one of the ongoing themes of the series. So your referencing the TT trailer as being DD like, that's a specious equivalency. Just saying.....
    You HAVE made a solid video here, though, and I plan yo subscribe and watch more, so thanks!

    3:34 Agreed. They should've never changed Starfire's race. They should've been faithful to the source material and casted an actual glowing eyed, orange skinned, fire alien from Tamaran instead.
    ...OR how about maybe it literally doesn't matter what the actress's ethnicity is and if anything they should've given her more accurate make-up?
    I'll say this much; Starfire is absolutely supposed to be a person of color no matter what her actress's race is lol.

    I extremely disagree with Star fire .it's not the accurate , and it's not good to assume that the character is or should be white when we have characters as gamora and nebula. She's orange for Petes sake. How can you complain about Starfire being white and while beast boy is portrayed by someone Asian.
    People complained about the casting of Domino. Yet the representation was still there they just inversed the colors and she became one of the highlights for the film.
    ( actually a lot of people thought that would cast a Latin American or indigenous actor for the role for starfire not white )
    . I know one of you arguments was that well known characters shouldn't be messed with but the casting of Jason momoa and costuming came at a pleasant surprise.
    You can make many things work if the context is right and the execution is good.
    Excecution is just bad here.
    There's probably a reason for it like she's hasn't been on earth long and this is how she thinks she should dress but it's still terrible.

      She isn't more of anything because she is again an orange alien. There is no such thing or real life counterpart for that. And you sound a tad bit racist with the expectation of a Hispanic and Asian being more suitable. Like what does that even mean?

      I agree. The execution doesn't look great. But a lot of the naysayers are kind of missing it. Kor, as has been stated, isn't Caucasian. If you've mainly been a fan of the cartoon, you may not know this. But she is portrayed a number of ways in the comics, going all the way back. Her powers are supposed to be hot as the sun, and at times she is portrayed as channeling fire energy (including setting her hair to trail fire). Her blasts have been green, purple, and yes, flaming orange. Her features have run the gamut too. She sometimes has strong ethnic features and a large bush of tightly-packed curls. And sometimes she looks like a white girl with a tan and straight hair. In Injustice 2 she looks kind of biracial lol. It really depends on the artist, the year, and the version of the comic running in whatever version of the universe DC has going at the time. She's fairly open to interpretation, because DC has altered their presentation of her numerous times.
      Look at it another way. What do we count as "faithful?" Let's come off the visual and look at personality. Do we say it is unfaithful if she isn't the innocent derp of the cartoon? What about the hardened battle princess of modern comics? Or how emotional and lovestruck teen angst she could get in the classic comics? See what I mean? DC runs on a multi verse and loves to repackage its heroes, so it is weird to see DC fans act like there is one way to present a character.

    To add to others, the issue of Starfire isn't down to the actor but more of the way character looks. The actress in question has already suffered racial abuse online due to some people saying a black actress can't portray an ORANGE alien character among other things.She has had to disable comments on her IG account because of it. Hopefully, the show itself will compensate for the lackluster trailer.

    I agree that TITANS and both Raven and Starfire look terrible, but I differ on the point regarding Beastboy's costume. I think the red and white jacket is a smart change to the original Doom Patrol uniform. It would look a bit too much for a live action series if the exact red and white (or purple and black) costume were to put on stage.

    The only characters I agree that shouldn't be changed to a different ethnicities characters. Drawings of them are well design with certain features very distinctive.

Now Wolverine that's a different story since Wolverine have very detailed look up himself. Look at Nick Fury

    In my opinion, I think the only good things about this show is the design for Robin's suit and the casting for Robin. Everything else looks terrible. The design, the dialogue and the tone does not match the Teen Titans that we all know and love. I can't believe how Starfire isn't orange and apparently, Beast Boy only turns green when he is using his power so the producers can save money and have a low budget. Speaking of low budget, I bet that all the shots either take place at night time or take place in a bland room indoors because the budget didn't allow for some nice shots so the darkness hides the cheap set.

It angers me so much and I’M black!!! Exactly like you said, even the garage DC animated movies get her skin color, hair, figure, and power visuals right (even though they call her Corey instead of Starfire.) Why on Earth did they think a plushy black woman was a good idea?! I’m insulted. COSPLAYERS do abetter job with character portrayal than this garbage show.

    The casting of a black actor as starfire isn't necessarily a bad one. Starfire isn't white. She's Orange and an alien. What they should've done would be what marvel did with Gamora in guardians. Give the black actress some orange esque body paint and green eyes. They would've saved money on CGI and she would've looked better.

Its a boring format of villain of the week, 10 solid good episodes of one villain, develop the characters, the threat. WB have really lost it over the years screwing up their films

  • @leileyaravencroft
    @leileyaravencroft 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    I have an entirely different issue with Starfire being portrayed by a black actress. She still could have been portrayed by an actress of color, however, the fact that they totally did not give her orange skin (I noticed in Teen Titans, they actually paled her skin to give her a more "white"-like appearance. In the comics, she is straight-up orange) makes me feel that this was done to pander to black audiences which Hollywood is doing more and more. They aren't doing it to include anyone, it's just to shut people up and people are accepting it!
    Making Raven the way that they did IS in fact pandering to the YA audience (and seeing the popularity of a lot of their CW shows is anyone truly surprised?). They definitely should have painted her skin tone as well since she's supposed to be half-demon.
    Something else that bothers me with the removal of Cyborg from Teen Titans is that as far as I am aware from watching the Justice League cartoon series, he did both. Cyborg was not technically a part of the Justice League for a while, he would help them out but he was very much still a Teen Titan. And when he DID join Justice League, whenever, the Teen Titans needed him, he would go and help them. No idea why they aren't doing this for Titans.
