The interesting thing about Speed Racer 2008 being an adaptation is that the fact that the Wachowski sisters are huge weebs probably posed more of a barrier for them than if someone else got hired to make a movie from that license Like, weebs specifically hate Speed Racer

There is a major conversation to be had about appropriation here, and the way the movie handles its Asian characters isn't unproblematic That said, they weren't really taking anything Japan really wanted to keep

I recall Speed Racer as the filler for weird afternoon hours on weekdays and really early AM. It wasn’t all that good tho to 6-year-old me it looked different. That said the “G” on everything used to confuse me.
