Can't a character just be the way they are in the books without it being a huge affront to black people?

Like all the people who are legit upset that Peter Parker was a white guy in the new MCU reboot.

[(Anonymous)]

Are there any black people in this comment thread who've said they feel it's a huge affront? Or to look at it another way, why does a innocuous mention of making a character black cause people to get defensive about these supposedly affronted black people, who are of course the only people who'd want to see a black character?

[(Anonymous)]

This thread? No. In similar situations? Yes.

[(Anonymous)]

Does it not strike you as a little weird to be in a discussion with one group and then to suddenly bring up the remarks of a completely separate group while acting like you're still debating the remarks made by the first group?

That's impressive.

[(Anonymous)]

Off topic, but...

...face palm Picard FTW!

Doesn't seem like any black people around here are getting mad at the idea of a white character staying white, nonny. In fact, it seems like white people are getting mad at the idea of a white character possibly being black.

[(Anonymous)]

Again. With similar situations.

Look at how many people were outraged that another white guy is playing Spider-Man. Or that a white guy was cast as Dr. Who again. Etc.

[(Anonymous)]

Weirdly, though, that was almost entirely white people that were pissed off about it. In both cases.

Thank you! I can only truly speak for myself but a lot of black people have felt uncomfortable with black actors being cast in white roles in these movies. Do we want to see more black characters on screen? HELL YES. But we want to see characters that were already black. Sometimes a racebend works out but, as fans, we still want things to stay close to canon without someone coming in and turning The Beloved Classic into fan fiction.

That said, Michael B Jordan as Johnny Storm is the only thing the new Fantastic Four movie got right.

These are my thoughts as well. Although black people (and other minorities) still don't get enough representation in comics, there are actually still quite a few black superheroes out there, and I would much rather see them represented on tv or in film than for someone to randomly change Peter Parker or whoever into a black guy. To be honest, that just seems like a really lazy and cheap way to create representation. I mean, sure, there are a lot of black superheroes out there who have rich backstories and are a source of inspiration to other black people both in-universe and out, but why take a chance on them when we can turn a white superhero black and call it a day? Eh, no thank you. I mean, I don't get upset when it happens, but I'm also not really impressed by it.

[(Anonymous)]

No, people were hoping that we might get Miles Morales Spider-Man in the MCU instead of yet more Peter Parker origin stories. Not the same thing at all.

[(Anonymous)]

This. I'm so bored of the constant Peter Parker origin stories. Miles would at least have been a fresh take on a Spider Man origin story.

[(Anonymous)]

It might as well be given how the only reason why people want Miles is because he's black.
