Kaos did her 8 page Annabelle Update.
I actually got some writing done over the weekend and may post an update soon.
Thanks for all the Halloween Comments. Nothing Miko has struck my fancy yet. Maybe anime is the wrong direction and we should go Geisha or sexy ninja. It's also Halloween when you can pretend to be anyone you want, so playing off her heritage isn't necessary. I like Melvin owing it as Urkel, but maybe black Einstein would be cool or Neil Degrasser Tyson if he was as famous 8 years ago as he is today. He doesn't get much action anyway as Susan gets whisked away to Long's office for a stern talking to about being practically nude. As this is 2009, I cant really do movie black widow or TV Luke Cage, though I've considered comic Luke Cage. I'm thinking red head Patty's mom would be a good Lucille Ball.
Other good black characters:
Jules Winnfield (SLJ in Pulp Fiction)
Shaft
Morpheus
Apollo Creed- Red white and blue boxing shorts and gloves.
Agent Jay- Men in Black
Kunta Kinta to make a political statement or as Prospero himself.
Stacy could be Uhura (Maybe mirror universe with the bare midriff) or Storm from the X-Men wearing a white wig and the orange Jinx bikini from Die Another Day underneath for Hugh who's Cyclops or he could be Spock.
No matter what persona Miko takes on, you could play around a bit with the fact that the Japanese are notoriously racist. They also, in my experience, stumble like hell when it comes to portraying black characters in anime, falling back on stereotypes. Could be useful.
ReplyDeleteInteresting idea. Might work better with her full Japanese mother though.
DeleteSo Long's gonna fuck Susan? Interesting.
ReplyDeleteI think a geisha would be good for Miko.
