This has nothing to do with anything, and is probably a complete waste of your time. Profuse apologies. We’ll continue with the actual comic next time.
Now that I think of it, these choices are awful. I’ll notify their agents. In the meantime, who would you suggest for these (or other) parts?
Didn’t you say Mrs. Flavors was vaguely based on your mother?
I picture State as Scarlett Johansson.
Angelina Jolie wouldn’t be bad either.
I’ve always pictured Beth Riesgraf as Mrs. Flavors, since that is essentially the character she played in ‘Leverage’.
…That’s a good one! Slightly more sociopathic Parker…
I would suggest Ashley Johnson, but yeah, Beth Riesgraf seems like a pretty natural choice.
LOVE the Satsuki Kiryuin poster…
Man, I don’t know who ANY of these actors are. Am I very out of touch, or were these slightly obscure choices? And how do you pronounce “Saoirse?”
S-ear-sheh
Reference:
My gf says so.
Listen to her teach Stephen Colbert how to say the name here:

Some were so obscure not even Nathan could identify them.
(The only one I knew was GLaDOS from Portal)
Heck, some of my own characters are apparently so obscure that I couldn’t identify them.
They’re not obscure, their *names* are.
And from your choice of actors, I now have confirmation that they’re both definitely children. Which, as I’ve said elsewhere, means that they must be super smart.
I’m sure if the police asked you to you’d come to a conclusion l.
If you really wanted to have fun, try reversing the actors for the roles of Dr Science and the State: (firstly because there aren’t enough female scientists out there, and secondly because the state definitely seems to have a rapidly-growing fascist streak to it nowadays).
Dr Science isn’t a real scientist…
That would mean having a man wearing the state costume. Speaking purely from an aesthetic standpoint, I don’t need to see that.
I was going to find one, just to be mean, but at the last second realized that I was about to ask Google to show me all the pictures on the Internet related to the words “man dress blindfold”. Whew! Narrow escape there.
I have changed my mind. The idea of the state being a man in drag could actually be pretty funny. I am in favor of it.
If we gender-swap everyone, then we can get Seth Green to play Pi. He should have enough geek cred to pull it off.
If you gender-swap the brother/sister pair, it’s be exactly the same as now but with all their lines swapped. :P
Please cast Portman as PI
Pi… How about Emma Watson?
Huh. Didn’t think Mrs. Flavors was a psychopath, personally. I more saw her as an adrenaline junkie.
With that in mind, Angelina Jolie does that kind of crazy really well.
That’s kinda what I thought too. I think the psycho act was just an act. Perhaps GLaDOS was revealing more about herself than she realized there.
Hiroshige Narimiya as that defense attorney from the current storyline.
(He played Phoenix Wright in the live-action film of the Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney video game.)
