If there's ever a Hollywood Adaptation of Hamilton, I hope that Lin keeps to his casting choices as reflecting modern America, not 1776 America.

The Conservatives would lose their mind. But I also couldn't imagine a white guy playing Hercules Mulligan. Certainly not singing Yorktown.

Actually probably most of the original cast would be in it, anyway. Sort of like In The Heights, except hopefully reprising their own original roles.

Certainly wouldn't be a sung-through musical though. Hollywood would need to split it into two, with extra "world-building" and dialogue, like they did with Wicked.

Its even worse than that. They had a white voice actor when the cartoon character is black!

Yes. I agree with with Donny in this meme.

To the same effect, I'm bothered with how everyone in the new Odyssey movie looks way too pasty white for Mediterranean mariners. Was it really necessary to cast big names for the movie? Couldn't they find anyone that fit those parts better?

Hells, I had a lengthy discussion with an enthusiast for that time period and he went livid when we started talking about the costume design...

Hollywood is becoming altogether tiresome.

I hate how every old outfit.It looks brand new and spotless. That's not even how we are today back in the day.People were far more dirty, and there were more dirty old and worn outfits. I want to see outfits that look legit, worn, not brand new!

The sentiment doesn't really fit the character at all.
