Opps whole new can of worms,
I knew I shouldn't have mentioned this touchy subject but since I did I might as well explain myself.
I used to be a very big comic book guy for a very long time.
I am not a prejudice guy and
I have many Black friends but
why do all these guys in TV casting think they are being Politically correct by
casting Black people in role that were originally drawn and written in as white people,
that would tantamount to be like casting Roots as a White slavery movie.
SAY MAYBE WE COULD DO AN ELSEWHERE MOVIE WHERE....naaaa bad idea!!!
I actually do not have a problem with the different races playing characters such as Jimmy Olsen because his race doesn't really matter.
I have a problem with the new fantastic four movies casting because if the human torch is black, Invisible girl should be black as well because they are siblings but she isn't. Them being brother and sister are a large part of the groups and characters dynamic and from the casting you can see that this has been changed and that is what I have a problem with.
I find in a large amount of media from film, TV, comics etc. Minorities are grossly under representated particularly the older the media is, the less characters of minority appear. So I don't mind at all them changing of supporting characters race when it doesn't matter. I rather they hire a good actor for the part then be stuck on race.
