You know hollywood hasnt thought that far ahead. They are too busy patting themselves on the back for being so woke.

Oh how cute, looks like the NPC defense routines got activated. The "people are so uptight" defense, coming from the same people who brought you "white people selling burritos is cultural appropriation".

Hollywood is worthless today. You see a ton of repeats and this shit. "We can't think of new ideas so what are we going to do?!! I guess put a black lead in an old movie! 100+ new virtue points and we didn't even have to use our little minds to think of a story???! YAY!!!!!"

While it might be for a small minority, the vast majority of people upset with shit like this isn't racism, it's about tradition. Snow White is Anglo. Mulan is asian. Alexander Hamilton was white. History matters. Facts matter. Our Founders were white British expats. Saying they were black a thousand times wont make them any less white. Want to appeal to a minority audience? Make new shit based on minority characters. And make a good product. Tuskegee Airmen is full of African Americans playing African Americans. And its enjoyable because its a well done movie. The best episode of Westworld S2 ia all about a native american and starred a native American playing a native American. This shit isnt fucking rocket scientist.
And when some woke SJW wants to tell me that characters in movies and TV should be colorblind, I want to know when they are going to cast Tom Hardy as Dr. Martin Luthor King.

It doesn't HAVE to be woke to ruin a comic book character you know.
Oh, the irony.
This complaint, in and of itself, is a repeat and reboot of complaints from 50 years ago.
Oh, the irony.

You are correct. The woke issue is just the current incarnation. Originality is dead in Hollywood. I'm ok if Tony Stark dies and a trans eskimo puts the armor on. I am not ok with a new Iron Man movie with the character of Tony Stark being played by a trans eskimo.

I get that and I do agree about living or past lived people should be portrayed by individuals of the same ethnic background. Ghandi shouldn't be played by Jack Black, MLK shouldn't be played by Trump ect. They are real human and have a historical significance. But getting bent over a fictional cartoon character is a little too much in my opinion. Until someone catches a real-life mermaid and says "See I told you they are white" this thread is dumb.

I'm not saying mermaids should be white. I'm saying the main character mermaid in the movie and assorted disney rides, lunchboxes, tshirts etc ia white with red hair. Dont change THAT mermaid from a white ginger to an African American unless there is a plot device that changes her appearance. Or maybe just make a new mermaid movie about a different mermaid who happens to be African american.
