Diversity casting just for the sake of checking boxes is not good in anyways.


The fact that you think this is what is happening and overlooking the fact that two fairly known good actors were in those roles says a lot about you.

So you don't think Hollywood does diversity casting? I mean they have done it for years. It was even a joke in spoof movies that there could only be one black friend in the all white high school.

two fairly known


They both are TV actors with middle of the road successful series. Howell-Baptist has been in more series that would be considered mainstream and popular. Novack has been in almost nothing that the average movie/tv viewer would recognize.

good actors


Maybe, maybe not. Their work is pretty limited to get a real read on their acting ability.

The fact that 3 of you have jumped on one single line from the OPS review and ignored everything else says just as much about you.

Diversity casting isn't about forcing a culture onto a character.

Diversity is about appealing to all races and cultures. It's about drawing in viewers who can say they saw an actor that looks like them in a big budget Hollywood movie.

It puts more asses in the seats. It's all about the dollars.

It’s literally, as in the literal meaning of the word, what is happening.
