Asker+1 yThat would be the ultimate in color blindness and racial equality.
I have a dream...
Opinion Owner+1 yIt's a step in the right direction towards equality.
I could see Ryan Reynolds or Ewan Mcgregor playing Michael Jordan. They could have them swinging around on cables dunking on black NBA players.
That would be a great movie.
Asker+1 yBest Movie Evahhhh

Here's a quote from Stan Lee about why Peter Parker shouldn't be bi or black.
"I think the world has a place for gay superheroes, certainly, but again, I don't see any reason to change the sexual proclivities of a character once they've already been established.
"I have no problem with creating new, homosexual superheroes. It has nothing to do with being anti-gay, or anti-black, or anti-Latino, or anything like that.
"Latino characters should stay Latino. The Black Panther should certainly not be Swiss. I just see no reason to change that which has already been established when it's so easy to add new characters. I say create new characters the way you want to. Hell, I'll do it myself."41 Reply

+1 yI'm kind of annoyed when they change any established character... for no reason... just to be political because they actually care about stuff like that. They actually keep score of races and genders and what not and have to purposefully tweak things to keep the score balanced. The people that are mad and say Friends was racist or was in some way bad because all the main cast was white... Cosby, Martin, Fresh Prince, 227, Family Matters, Steve Harvey, Sanford & Son... etc. they are all black. Who cares?
So, Superman is gay? The Ghostbusters are now girls, the Ocean's crew is now 8 women instead of 11 men, Mad Max is now a girl... etc. All of that mind set is just stupid.20 Reply Yes, a key part of his origin story is that he is black, changing him would mean changing his entire origin story, so by that point you might as well just make a separate character. However I'd say black panther is something of an outlier in how much of his character is tied to his ethnicity. Most characters do not have their ethnicity as such a key part of their character, and in almost all white characters their ethnicity doesn't play a major role in their character. So if this is another post about James Bond being black, they're different characters with different origin stories, and James Bond's story is not inherently tied to his ethnicity in the same way Black Panther's is. It is not a double standard to be fine with changing one and not the other
10 Reply876 opinions shared on Entertainment & Arts topic. Yep.
Characters are written the way they are by the writers at the time of their creation for a reason. Race and gender-swapping them not only devalues the original character, but is a red flag for a writer or writing team that is creatively bankrupt. It's a trope that can work in a singular issue or episode as a plot point involving time travel or alternate dimensions to a degree, but not something you ever want to build an entire series or franchise off of. Competent writers would instead introduce a new character (white male in this case) who would for example assist or rescue Black Panther or temporarily take up his mantle before evolving into his own character with his own shoes to fill.00 Reply
+1 yNot really, I wouldn’t care.
I’m a believer of keeping classic characters unchanged, especially when it comes to something big like sexual orientation, race, etc.
Black Panther, to my knowledge, has always been a black man and his origins have been in and around the black community.20 Reply352 opinions shared on Entertainment & Arts topic. Yes. They shouldn't change established characters. Leave established characters alone. If they want something different they should make something original, not try to change/ruin something already established.

Asker+1 yI'm sorry but that is not what has been happening so all black characters including malcom X must be played by other races, like Asians
Asker+1 yOf course. They wouldn't think about changing the super hero of color to a vile hateful white person. They wouldn't think of changing a female super hero to a male. Time to boycott these Marxist virtue signalers
1.4K opinions shared on Entertainment & Arts topic. Yup just like how they changed Black Adam a middle eastern guy to the Rock. I really dislike any changes like that to a character it's a complete mistrepsentaion of the character. Or blank Annie like wth?
And would hate it if black panther was white, same for luke cage same for black manta.10 Reply
+1 yNormally I don’t care, however the character was created deliberately as a black character.
i don’t believe any of the other characters were deliberately created to be white, it’s just that’s how they are.
A lot of other changes occurred in the comics and now Disney are taking advantage of it.10 Reply
+1 yUsually wouldn't care, but in this case it would make 0 sense in the context of the character, he was deliberately designed as a black character so changing his ethnicity out of nowhere would be weird af.

Wonder Woman should now be a Filipino male called Wonder Man.
Asker+1 yIt is the only fair thing to do. ALL female super heroes should be played by transgender women with huge cocks. They might be sad and pathetic but infinitely stronger than cis gender females. Viva Marxism.
Anonymous(30-35)+1 yI’d be more pissed off if they killed off Indiana Jones in the new IndianaJones film coming out next year. They already killed off James Bond in the newest Bond film, who’s to say they won’t do the same to Indiana Jones?

I’m sure that this would piss off people, as I believe the movies entire point was designed to support black actors, no? Can’t make everyone happy, no matter what is done, in anything.10 Reply6.6K opinions shared on Entertainment & Arts topic. It would be hysterical. He would be the only white guy in Wakanda. How do you explain that? Was he adopted?

Anonymous(30-35)+1 yRetarded white women would call it racist and exclusionary to black men.

Asker+1 yRetarded white women are the most privileged group in the history of this world. They have done nothing but have babies for white men. I would love to see how they fared prior to all of the special laws that protect them and their little feelings. Oh wait. I have already seen that. It is called the History of Western civilization and they accomplished very little
