That is absurd as a blanket statement. A black Lincoln or Chinese George Washington would be weird. With fictional characters this is also true. Daniel Day Lewis is the best actor of my lifetime, but he couldn't pull off Black Panther.

Is that diversity? Or is it intentionally swapping the race of a character?

It has nothing to do with talent. It's the deliberate erasure of whiteness from culture.

When it's so obvious and pervasive....



These roles weren't assigned because they're all Brandos. C'mon man.

Nick Fury of the Ultimate Universe is black. Hell, the artists specifically patterned him AFTER Samuel L Jackson.

Nick Fury is a horrible example as Hollywood had nothing to do with that.

They even included a Lego character?

Haha.

This is dumb. So dumb.

I really enjoyed some of these portrayed characters, color or hair doesn't matter for 95% of them.

But yes, 5% of these changes don't make sense.

I love when the cultural Marxists try to paint this Disney/Marvel looked for the best actor for the role and just coincidentally found women/minorities every single time in these instances. Especially when Disney flat tells us they're intentionally doing it, the DEI apologists on here keep fighting the good fight, "No, that's not what Disney meant! They're not race-swapping, they're strictly relying on merit, you see? Keep consuming and quit exposing your racist/homophobic/sexist thoughts! Keep consuming!"

People care way too much about the skin color of fictional characters.
And I see Starfire on that list. Kory was fine as frick.

What’s wrong with eliminating the evil Gingers that can steal a soul before the victim even knows what’s coming?
