  1. I’m a fan of Henrie’s ever since watching him on How I Met Your Mother, and Wizards of Waverly Place, but while I find Hollywood to be ridiculous for casting a white man over an Asian, I certainly feel more upset over Henrie accepting this role.

    Sure, who doesn’t want to be an action hero…and/or become the next Shia Lebeouf…but seriously Henrie…you had to chose this? I can only feel that he’s killing his career in acting before it’s even started. I can only really hope this movie will prove me wrong, but in the back of mind all I can think of is another Justin Chatwin fail in Dragon Ball Evolution.

  2. I love watching white actors in white roles, but white actors playing asian roles with asian background makes NO FREAKING SENSE!

  3. I really think the studio should change the title of the film and try to come up with their own story like the Matrix movies having influenced from Ghost in the Shell anime rather than taking the character come from a certain ethnic background. It’s not really fair if Mr. Henrie is playing an asian american superhero specifically of Chinese heritage when there are successful asian american actors in Hollywood (if not Hollywood, there are plenty overseas, and some are bilingual). If the Studio is concerned about making any profit, there have been successful films in the U.S. with asian actors like Enter the Dragon, The Last Emperor, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, Harold and Kumar, and recently Slumdog Millionaire. I don’t have anything against David Henrie, (and I’m sure he can act and be popular with teens), but taking a story that has Chinese family roots (Chinese Americans are very proud and have honor), turning it into a live action mma film and de-emphasizing the character’s Chinese heritage is just wrong and offensive.
