Why do you feel like the moment they make a black main character it's only for the sake of being 'racially diverse' and even if that was the purpose why would that make you hate it? Like are you saying you just flat out won't like any movie with a black main character? Seems like you read a lot into the motivations of both of those movies too. A lot of people have some deeply rooted ignorant views that maybe they aren't even aware of and they manifest in areas like this. Like they'll be friends with black people and don't think black people are inferior to whites but if a black actor is cast in a movie they need it to "make sense" from a story perspective. Yet that's not a requirement if the character is white. A brand new character can be whatever race the people making the movie want them to be. It doesn't need any more of a "reason" than someone having red hair or blue eyes or a chipped tooth. People accept traits in characters without story related reasons all the time, yet when the character is a woman or black or gay all of a sudden there needs to be a whole spreadsheet of reasons why that character was absolutely necessary in the story. They should stop and ask themselves why they have that reaction. I agree. communitychannel from YouTube (Nat) talked about this too https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TakJZtGlLJw --- The wannabe artist formerly known as Snoopydance <cite>GhostGiblet posted [p:887564141] in George Luc...
