Keep in mind that it's an American show made by an American network with characters who all speak English with an American accent. It's nominally set in Asia, but don't kid yourself about it being an Asian show. Shyamalan really hasn't changed anything by casting whites. We didn't go from Asian characters to Caucasian characters, we just went with a different shade of "American."

I'm not saying it's an Asian show. You're right, it's totally American.

That would be a great excuse if the lead villain in the movie weren't being played by an Indian.

He's either relying on attendance or nominal gross, and neither is an accurate measurement. *NM*

True, but I think that's because they were going for the anime style.
