Unreasonably harsh treatment of Scarlett Johansson
It should be noted that the manga on which the film is based was very successful in both Asia and America. So it was never thought that this could not be pulled off by showing the events on the big screen.
That idea was a serious mistake, as there were several factors that led to her conviction, along with her cast.
As Espinoff confirmed, everything starts because the protagonist, according to many critics, should not be North American, but Asian. This is due to the origin of the source of inspiration. Based on this, it did not go well at all, hardly recovered what was invested and progressed into an impossible saga.
Mamoru Oishi He was not happy with the things that were said about the production and the unwarranted attacks on the origin of the hero.
“What would be the problem with choosing her? The oldest is a cyborg and her physical form is completely imaginary. Motoko Kusanagi’s name and current body are neither her name nor her actual body, so it is baseless to say that an Asian actress should play her.” declared the filmmaker.

“It’s all cinematic conventions. If it’s not allowed, So Darth Vader shouldn’t speak English either. I think Scarlett was the best possible choice to play Motoko.
