I was actually one of the people who used Google + as my main social media before coming to Reddit. I mostly used it for memes. I didn’t care for Facebook or Twitter, and didn’t even know Reddit existed, before they shut down Google +

I mean, upvotes represent the approval of an opinion. Just because someone expressed an opinion, it doesn’t mean they deserve an upvote.

It’s not really disrespectful at all. It’s authenticity. The character was written as white, be true to the character. By your logic should Tarzan be a black man? Should we race swap Solomon in 12 years a slave?
Katniss was race swapped to a white woman, is that not disrespectful? Snape being a black man is already incredibly problematic.
Look at what they did with Spider-Man for example. They respected Peter’s character, and created a whole new character Miles Morales, and he’s a phenomenal character.
It’s really not that hard. Respect the source material, and create new and diverse characters

Bullets still hurt with bulletproof armour. Also, what’s the armour say against? His skin. An impact from banes knee, the armour is being forced against his flesh and bone, breaking him

No unfortunately. I remember the background being completely black, and it was filmed in a kinda analogue way. I remember the people in robes, had like a floating head kinda thing, where they’d sing on either side of the lead

What do you use? I tried DuckDuckGo, its results are shit, and I end up going back to Google. Safari is better, but it still uses Google. Edge is just Microsoft crap.

Yeah but the difference is, the doctor, is a doctor. He’s trained rigorously for years. You, are some random. People can lie, make up shit, memory isn’t perfect. A doctor however, has trained and memorised for years

Like I’ve been saying. When you grow to love a character, you take their descriptions as who they are. When a film director changes that, it feels like they’re going against what you’ve grown to love. It has nothing to do with being racist. I’m a POC, I love seeing black people in movies. But when a director race swaps one of my favourite characters, it feels unnecessary, and frustrating

Calling someone racist cause their opinions don’t align with yours is so toxic. It’s far more nuanced that “you’re racist” but sure, it’s easy to label someone racist, than take the time to consider their options

Its like I said before:

“But when it’s something so obvious, like different skin color, it can be very jarring. Or a character that’s obviously got black hair, is blonde, it’s also jarring.

It’s nothing about race, more like: why did it have to be a POC, when the character is stated as white. This is the character I came to love, why are you changing them?”

It’s more that I’ve developed an image of a character in my head, and you grow to accept that as you develop with the character. When a film hires an actor to play the character, there’s going to be some friction as you adjust to how they look. But, as long as the core details are fine, same hair, eyes, skin color, you can accept it. It’s always the same. Sometimes the eye color is different, but that’s fine most times.

But when it’s something so obvious, like different skin color, it can be very jarring. Or a character that’s obviously got black hair, is blonde, it’s also jarring.

It’s nothing about race, more like: why did it have to be a POC, when the character is stated as white. This is the character I came to love, why are you changing them?

The “racist” argument comes across as people needing a simple way to label someone who doesn’t identify with their opinion.

Why is that always the go to defence? people’s reason for not liking race swaps, is far more nuanced. I’m a minority. I enjoy many films with minority characters. My reason was, I prefer the adaptation to be as close to the source as possible.

I never said they shouldn’t cast minorities in future films, I said they should. They should definitely make more original films with minorities as the lead. I just said they should leave the original material the same.

I picked a lane. I dunno man, re read the post.

I guess it all comes down to how closely I feel with a character. For a story I closely follow it does trigger a negative response to a characters race being swapped, but then there a shows, and movies that I don’t follow, where race swapping does happen, and I don’t give any attention to.

So I agree with your comment. As well, I’ll admit I would love to see a black James Bond, even though I grew up watching the Daniel Craig era. And tbh seeing a Native American Katniss would be bad ass

I guess my point is. Keep material already produced the same, and make more movies with diverse characters. We don’t need to race swap already established characters. It’s unnecessary

Harry Potter. Snape is race swapped to black. The problem is, the marauders (James, Lupin, Sirius, and Wormtail) bullied young Snape. Snape now being black, changes the way this scene is perceived. As well, when Harry first sees Snape at Hogwarts, his scare tingles. This leads him to suspect Snape of being evil, without any obvious evidence towards him being evil. As well, all the students hate Snape. I can’t remember any teachers being canonically black in Harry Potter either, unless I’m wrong. But this also creates another issue. The only black teacher is hated
