I was never a fan of any of these series or their movies, but the portrayals from their original media are legendarily egregious and shameful. My only contact with them was by proxy, typically by interaction between fans or viewing the reviews of critics on their subjects, but there seems to be fairly universal hate for these incarnations.

Well the film reactions were a bit of a mixed bag, Prince of Persia was seen as average, King Of Fighters was a straight to DVD film damn near nobody watched. A mighty heart with Angelina Jolie was critically acclaimed. Last Airbender and Dragon Ball was despised. But these reactions were more about the films themselves than the racial portrayals. I was just making the point that if you have an issue with Idris Elba being the Dark Tower guy you should also have an issue with Scarlet Johannson being the ghost in the shell girl, for sake of consistency.
