Hard disagree. I've seen people do nothing BUT talk about it! Must be the circles we run in / what we happen upon. Granted, more people complain about how pale he is in Badlands Rumble (then again, everyone is washed out there, I think the lighting key was off in that movie) - but I see a LOT of people complain about Stampede Wolfwood's look. Personally, I think he also looks too young in Stampede. I like Stampede overall, but a lot of the characters are really kind of "overly anime" young-look there and most of them are kind of washed out of color from the original and from color/cover manga art.

it is frustrating to see the new trigun get a bunch of hype but very little discussion of wolfwood’s whitewashing. millie to a lesser extent but i feel like people actually talked about being mad about that. wolfwood’s stuff is complete silence

#um... and I'm not inclined to take “whitewashing” complaints seriously actually most of the time...#I feel like people complain too much on characters who are actually kind of ambiguous #I mean I see people complain about Rem being “whitewashed” and she was fairly pale in the original!#except in dark lighting #a creator interview indicates that she is supposed to be Asian #but that doesn't always translate to dark - I personally think she's Japanese or Japanese / American #she did somehow take up a level in pale in Stampede #in my headcanon I blame spaceship lighting and only getting Plant-created UV over solar UV #I do headcanon wolfwood as likely Hispanic though #and he IS darker in the original #except for the weirdness in Badlands Rumble #I'm white and of mostly Nordic descent but I grew up in Arizona #and as someone whose whole entire family despite whiteness got tan as leather every summer there #I think everyone on Planet Gunsmoke is too pale #even vash #Plants must come with in-built SPF Infinity sunscreen #millie is not whitewashed in Stampede becasue she is nonexistent in Stampede #she's supposed to show up in Stargaze but we haven't seen her yet
