Should she have been Molly Millions in the Neuromancer adaptation?

>>213860847 (OP)
stunning and perfect

I hope she isn't blacklisted because of that Variety photoshoot drama. Because she's one of the few actresses right now that have this cute waifu look and also can act.

>Sydney said she turned down starring in the video, in which her costars Timothy Olyphant and Noah Hawley answered personal questions about each other, because she "felt uncomfortable doing something like that."
>"Again, new to this; I haven't done something like that before," she added. "Unfortunately, I was uninvited from the rest of the shoot. I never meant to offend."
This would not have happened to a non-nepo baby

>>213861039
What an unneeded mess for everyone involved. It's not as if the questions aren't scripted beforehand and bullshit they make up, like wrestling kayfabe. What a drag.

>>213861039
do not bully autistic girls

This really is the worst shit ever
Molly Millions is one of the premiere waifubait characters in all of fiction, Trinity, Motoko Kusanagi and Lisbeth Salander are all blatantly inspired by her

So of course they hire a frumpy grumpy Tessa Thompson ass nig
What a DOA show

Daily Reminder that Gibson has stated he based Mollys appearance on the appearance of Chrissie Hynde on the cover of The Pretenders second album
So it is cannon she is white

>>213861151

>>213861134
The first time Case meets her in the hotel the first thing he notices is how pale she is
When Rivera makes the rude caricature of her, Case's only criticism is that the real Molly's nipples are pink
Case looks at Molly's sunglasses and idly wonders what color her eyes really are

>>213861134
>Molly Millions is one of the premiere waifubait characters in all of fiction
it's true, the amount of fan art for a character people have never 'seen' is unprecedented

They do this because they hate you and want to cause you mental anguish. They are Juice.

I liked this short movie anon linked the other day

Dina Meyer's character in Johnny Mnemonic was supposed to be her and only wasn't because of some kafkaesque licensing absurdity where the studio only had rights to one novel but not the other

She could have pulled it off

>>213861443
>we want to lose money to hurt people

>>213861530
johnny mnemonic was a short story
he'd already sold the rights to neuromancer
at one point Michael Mann had the rights to the sequel Count Zero and was going to adapt it as a stand alone film

>>213861134
Jessica Alba in Dark Angel too, although she was halfway between her and Alita
But then again looking at the timeline Alita herself might even be just a bit Molly inspired (were Japs as crazy for William Gibson as William Gibson was for Japan? Ghost in the Shell sure feels that way)

>>213861574
They don't lose money. Ever. They print money. Money is fake. Everything is fake. We are all so doomed and helpless.

>>213861608
Turner is a very Mann-esque character so that makes sense

>>213861039
Olyphant should make a tweet or something calling Variety a shitty rag.

>>213861672
The Variety editor had a whole tangent paragraph where he/she/xir veinly insulted and mocked Sydney for her age, her father and other things. It was extremely fucking surprising how much venom was laced in it. I doubt Olyphant or Hawley feel anywhere near that strongly about her conduct throughout and probably don't hold it against her and couldn't care less.

>>213861610
>Molly Millions illustrated by Jun Suemi, from SF Magazine Nov 1986
They were aware of her
Alita began publication in 1990

>>213861422
>character people have never 'seen'
AFAIK this is the only official image of her but even that can be a grain of salt because book publishers aren't omnipotent either

>>213861610
they love American science fiction, Leiji Matsumoto illustrated the translation of the Golden Age era Northwest Smith stories

Sad how cucked of a faggot Gibson has become in his old age because Neuromancer is one of the few books I own and cherish.

>>213861728
Mutual weeabooism
I like it

>>213861733
well if we are talking cover art there is also this

Any science fiction/fantasy work can only be adapted into the anime medium. Simple as.

are there any illustrations of Molly in the folio society edition?

>>213861879
Gibson was a cucked faggot when he was young which really underscores how shit the modern era is

Neuromancer desperately needs diversity and representation because the book was only full of Japanese and Jamaicains and Latinos and fucking Turks

I get why it was absolutely critical that Molly be made black because there's like three white people on earth and that was apparently way too many

>>213861945
>>213861879
>that new novel he did that was literally about using time travel to make Hillary Clinton president and avert the apocalypse
What the fuck was he thinking

Modern nepobabies don't know how to act. If she wasn't this dude's father you wouldn't know who she was and she wouldn't be staring in a show about the Alien movies.

>>213862115
I have no idea who that dude is

>Rooney Mara was 15 years ago
;_;

>>213862164
to the gulag Zoomer
>>213862115
I wouldn't be so harsh. She can actually act very well and deserves her dues because it's not like she blew up right after school or as a kid. She's nearly 30 and just got her big break. She clearly worked her way up a little more naturally as opposed to coming out of the gates swinging like Maya Hawke. I hate that cunt.

>>213862200
Only she could've done it. What a shame.

Neuromacer is his best book. Everything else gets progressively worse until you reach whatever the shit was his last book.

>>213861134
What is worse, the actress is pretty cute outside this garbage TV show. In you pic she looks like Temu's Halle Berry

>>213860847 (OP)

>>213862550
>she's cute in this heavily curated modified photoshoot don't judge her from a photo taken IRL when she isn't caked up or shot by professional cameras
fucking cucked loser

>>213861134
>Trinity, Motoko Kusanagi and Lisbeth Salander are all blatantly inspired by her
But Trinity, Motoko Kusanagi and Lisbeth Salander are nothing alike

>>213862550
>>213862649
I'm not racist enough to say black girls can't be pretty or fuckable or whatever but black girls can't be dreams. The kind of character that's like "She's so sexy and cool and tough and interesting guys would readily die for her"
I've seen white actresses capture that, I've seen asian and latina actresses do it too, but black girls can't
If you asked Quentin Tarantino he'd understand exactly what I'm talking about but he'd also say Pam Grier in her prime had "it" and that's okay because he's a little retarded

>LE QUIRKY STILL ACTING LIKE A CHILD WOMAN TEE HEEE XDDD11

>>213863046
Exactly. They cannot be MPDGs. They just can't.Because they're black, simple as. Only white or asian girls can pull that off, definitely not Latinas.they're above black girls but not by much.

>>213861134
Oh Jesus man we get some gorilla sheboon for Molly? What the FUCK

>>213863083
yep. i love this.

>>213862244
> I wouldn't be so harsh. She can actually act very well and deserves her dues because it's not like she blew up right after school or as a kid. She's nearly 30 and just got her big break.
Anon she only has 4 roles on her wiki page before starring in Alien. She starting acting in 2022. How the fuck did she get a starring role in a franchise without nepotism? She probably went to school realized working a normal career wasn't glamorous and asked her emmy winner daddy to use his connections. She's a nepobaby. She didn't work for shit.

>>213863143
The peak Latina was Salma Hayek in Desperado, and if you saw that you'd know it's not just because she had a nice face or huge tits or whatever, her character had that same spark. I think the whole thing about how Banderas is on a suicide mission to wipe out the cartel and as she discovers this about him, her reaction is very quickly "fuck it, I'm in"
No cowardice or doubt or even moralfagging

Characters like that do so much more than just being "hot"

>>213862072
there is a high degree of deadpan satire in his work

>>213863430
>latinas can be manic pixies
No they are just manic which is even hotter

>>213863430
They cannot. They can be the side piece but not the main girl. That's for whites or, at most, Asians.
>>213863354
What a random, unfitting example and nonsensical post. What the fuck are you on about?

>>213861134
Isn't it amazing how Apple can take novels everyone called unfilmable and just throw a quarter billion dollars at them to make shows no one will ever watch or enjoy?

I hope they do Blood Meridian next

>>213863346
It's fucking Alien, bro. This ain't Shakespeare. Any kid fresh out of acting school already has enough chops for Alien.

>>213863779
And yet the show has at least four or five distracting terrible actors

Curious!

>>213863586
>No they are just manic which is even hotter
buenos

>>213863764
Worst, they gave the show to David S. Goyer who, instead of adapt the books, reused all ideas he had for his cancelled show, Krypton. Man turned Asimov into Superman fanfic.

>I hope they do Blood Meridian next
That would be hilarious

>>213863779

>waifubait

Molly worked as a literal cumdumpster and had a brain implant that rendered her unconscious while the customers were using her holes. For all she knows, and for all we know, she could have been fucked by midgets, mongoloids, 80-year-old men, negroes, and maybe even by animals, while she was in her self-induced coma. Hardly waifu material, get some standards.

>>213864333
Emily Browning did a movie with that premise and /tv/ loved it

>>213863867
that explains the production design being vaguely similar to the start of Snyders film

>>213863900
how would she or mona not be a pixie?

I have the perfect casting for Molly

>>213860847 (OP)

I don't know who this is. She looks extremely medium and is somewhat overage. Molly is supposed to be unnaturally beautiful in a plasticky way. Maybe with sufficient makeup they could make it work, but I'd look elsewhere.

>>213866324
>I don't know who this is
the quirk chungus from Alien Earf

s-she's fast

>>213862115
I am familiar with this actor.

>>213866485
shouldn't there have been a bit more of a dent

>>213863046

Well spoken. I've noticed the same because whenever I imagine a harem for myself (as all normal people frequently do), I never imagine black chicks in there, not even for variety's sake. It's not like they repulse me, top ones anyway, but they never reach the status of a "dream girl".

>>213866733
what about ones in porn like lily starfire or cecilia lion?
