Furiosa isn't supposed to be playing a character previously visualuzed as a strikingly tall, very buff woman...she just is Furiosa.

It's fine to generally object to the lack of diverse bodies among the main cast, but I've seen that acknowledged in the fandom.

I mean, by that argument, Nick Fury was also previously white, but people adore that decision.

Wonder Woman is now not played by someone American or British, not conventionally white, and by GOD did that lady do what she could to bulk up. But none of that matters because it's not enough.

Yeah, I'm suuure Gal Gadot got the role for being refreshingly foreign rather than just being hot under someone's narrow standards which are contrary to the WW image in the context of her being more buff than the model shape most actresses are expected to have; Nick Fury's image as a white guy is relatively disposable by comparison because that's represented as heck fuck. I mean sorry, no, it's not gonna be enough for everyone as long as body diversity is desired and people are allowed to not like things even if there's something good about them.

Let's be 100% real: no one fucking cares about black Fury because he's a man.

Meanwhile, having a Jewish woman portray someone who is strong and not a victim or a brat or, you know, the other millions of stereotypes is something that's hella strong to me. Like, JESUS. Say what you will, but you're making damn excuses at this point.

Do you have an excuse other than "I prefer a Victoria's Secret Wonder Woman" or "literally the only Jewish woman who could have been cast was Gal Gadot"? I don't need excuses for the simple fact that there is nothing revolutionary about SUBTRACTING FROM the traditionally positive image of a character even if other changes weren't bad, maybe if you weren't so amazingly defensive about your reasons for liking her you wouldn't be going off like this is a personal attack.

And this Fury stuff is only making you look more senseless, I'm not interested in keeping track of what you're even trying to argue about him at this point, lol. Bye.

To someone not obsessed with US racial purity bullshit, she looks pretty damn white and very, very conventionally pretty.
And black Fury was a thing in the comics ten years before the movies.

He's still traditionally white in older comics, but people don't bitch about that because he's a damn man, I guarantee it.

(Anonymous) 2018-06-08 10:38 pm (UTC)(link)
People bitched. Oh how they bitched. They also bitched about several Spiderman versions, several Batman versions and let's not even start with X-Men characters.

Troll?

Say what you want, but I sobbed during No Man’s Land because she was Jewish. We’re only allowed to be brats, neurotic, Holocaust victims or inscrutable Mossad types in media. To see a visibly Jewish woman have the full weight of movie heroism on her side was incredibly overwhelming.
