In recent superhero movies and TV shows, characters like The Human Torch, Nick Fury, Perry White, Jimmy Olsen, Electro, and the Kingpin have all been changed from white guys to black. And the comics have given us a black Spider-Man, a female Thor, and a gay Iceman.
Most of these characters have been around since the 1960s and have a rich history. Do you agree with changing them now? I find it hard to justify since they'd never in a million years make Wonder Woman a man or change the race of Black Panther, Blade or Storm. Plus, anyone is free to make new characters of any conceivable race or orientation.
What do you think about changing the race/gender of well established comic book characters for the sake of diversity?

Yeah, I don't want ScarJo for that role either but it has nothing to do with political correctness. It's the simple fact that the Major is Japanese! And it's a Japanese property, set in Japan. I'm like, if you wanna change stuff then just make your own thing, but don't take someone else's creation and disrespect it.
