Re: Changing a Character for an Adaption

I think it's for the best to leave genderbending and racebending to the fanfic writers. I didn't like Elementary as a Sherlock Holmes adaptation and the less said about the live-action A:TLA, the better.

I think it depends with racebending. The thing about Avatar is that changing their races went against the established universe. It's based on Asian cultures, so it's jarring to see non-asian people in those roles. But with things set in the modern, globalized world, there's less reason to stick rigidly to a certain race. I agree Elementary doesn't feel like Sherlock Holmes, but it's because of the way it handles the plot and characterization, not because Watson is Chinese and other characters were genderbent.
