    I finished watching Into Darkness earlier this evening and i was impressed. The movie was great and khan was an absolute badas$ and I recently read some reviews and one of the complaints was that Khan was "whitewashed", changed so that he looked white instead of his imprevious incarnations in film and since that was brought up , i too am a little bugged. the actor who played khan was a-ok in my opinion but should they have made his race match the previous incarnations? My explanation for his whitewashing was that his appearance was altered when he was found because some one like Khan might be recognized if he does not change. I sincerely hope if he does appear, they change his appearance to match his previous appearances in film but keep his voice. What do you think?

    The acting ability is more important than the appearance. Khan can look like any race since he is a product of a super soldier program.

    Thanks for the spoiler in the title for those of us who haven't seen the movie and tried to avoid it -__-

    It's funny because Indians don't get represented properly in the media and there is not a big fuss, but if we don't have a token black then there is a big deal. Just an observation.

    They painted or darken the original Khan in TOS to look Indian because when he appeared in Wrath of Khan... his skin color was white. And for someone that's suppose to be from India... he didn't even have an Indian accent.
