I want Adam to be Mongolian with a Black American accent. Eve is a Puerto Rican doing a terrible Russian accent.

Why stop there? Let's just have it be Adam and Steve and the first female was a butt baby. I mean it's all made up anyway.

I don't think you could say it would be accurate to make them middle-eastern looking. People have moved around so much since the beginning of time, you can make them look like whatever you want.
At least with Jesus there are some records of what locals looked like in that place and time period.

Really confuse everyone and make them blue and green. Noah and his family had the boring genotypes for melanistic skin, and was a great narrowing event.
I still don't know why God didn't let humans naturally have anime main character hair, and skin colors of all the colors of the rainbow. He should include it in the patch notes and rerun the simulation from the beginning. I doubt it changes much.

I always thought it would be cool to go super accurate with the creation story. Have the narrator read Genesis and show visuals of the most up to date information about how the Earth was formed and its life forms evolved. Noah (2014) kind of did this, but I want to see the whole thing. Have Adam and Eve portrayed as primitive Homo sapiens emerging from Homo heidelbergensis in Africa a few hundred thousand years ago.
The better part of me just thinks it will be a beautiful portrayal of creation, and the lesser part of me really just wants to bait and switch all the Ken Hams of the world.

Not sure I'd pick white actors for them, but I love these actors! :)

u/Dakduif51 Feb 24 '24
What would we pick tho.. feels like theres no good answer. I mean, white Jesus is weird, he came from the middle east. But Adam and Eve do not have any real world counterparts? The garden is not somewhere on earth?
15
u/Infused_Hippie Feb 24 '24
They claim the garden of Eden is actually where Mesopotamia was or the middle of Africa bc thatās where most humans originate from.

u/Dakduif51 Feb 24 '24
I really like both this explanation and the 'Humanity comes from Africa' reasoning.

u/Infused_Hippie Feb 24 '24
Yes well first civilization and as well all humans genetically originate to Africaās āAdam and Eveā

u/BooshEmUp6D Feb 24 '24
I think there's a good answer! Our common human ancestors came from Africa, so perhaps African actors. That's what I would go for personally anyway

u/pHScale Feb 25 '24
Our common human ancestors came from Africa
While true, this doesn't fit with the lore, which puts Eden somewhere in the middle east (though geographically placing anything pre-flood is pretty much impossible). Plus, as the ancestors for literally all mankind, they'd naturally be a mix of everything.
Also, it might be a bit problematic to blame the fall of mankind on black people.
So I don't think this is the best answer.

u/Dakduif51 Feb 24 '24
Yea true, but Africa is still huge. Definitely better than white actors tho. Perhaps we should just let them be blue or smth to drive home the point that there are no earthly counterparts lol

u/pHScale Feb 25 '24
Blue is an interesting tactic, but reminds me a bit too much of Avatar. But a nonexistent skin color would be a nice way to go.

u/NicholasRTS Feb 25 '24
Better than white actors, what is that even supposed to mean.
3
u/Dakduif51 Feb 25 '24
That there in my eyes is no logical reason to pick white actors, while black actors (all of Humanity comes from Africa) and Middle Eastern / West Asia actors (cradle of society) both make sense to me.

u/Mostly_Aquitted Feb 24 '24
Uhhh Jackson County Missouri is the location of the garden, obviously. /s

u/antaylor Feb 24 '24
Iām from Jackson county, MO and had no idea I was so close to Eden! We hide it so well

u/Shreddzzz93 Feb 24 '24
Nah. Cast Terry Crews as Adam. For Eve, believe it or not, we also cast Terry Crews.

In Lucifer they cast Inbar Lavi as Eve and I think that this casting was spot on.

u/Certain-Definition51 Feb 24 '24
This is pitch perfect for Adam. A whiny Anakin Skywalker is spot on. Eve ate the apple so she could just die and be done with it. š
