Johnny Storm in Fantastic Four was played by a black actor while his sister Sue was white, so there is precedence in Hollywood altering the source material like this. Everyone who disagreed with that decision was called out as being racist.

Better than him being Asian. An Asian Luigi would make no fucking sense.

Movies have come a long way, British characters play American parts all the time, heck they could cast some Hispanic funny guy to play Luigi and I'm sure people would accept that today, 25 years ago this would had been impossible, but today, Luigi could be a Hispanic comic relief guy.

I would not care. His skin color doesnt have anything to do with the storyline, gameplay or anything else. It might be a little weird that he is named Luigi, though.

It doesn't. I personally don't like race changes. Keep white characters being played by white actors. Keep black characters being played by black actors and keep asian characters played by asian actors.

They want a black character in a movie based upon an existing franchise where there are no black main characters? Make up a new character, or turn a give a minor black character from the source material a much larger role.

Beyond a chuckle at the obvious reason for the decision, I think the only thing I would have a problem with is how the lower contrast between the actor's skin and hair would downplay his iconic mustache.

Don't hate bruh. I love that movie.

As long as the dude is Italian I don't think I'd care.

This is a headscratcher to me. Do black Italian people look that different from American or German black people? Hell, do Italian pople in general look that different from American or German people?

I don't know why something like the place where an actor was born makes any difference. Unless for accent reasons I guess.

And how is that related to my post or this thread? How is pizza relevant at any of this?

I guess I should have added a "basic reading ability is required to contribute to this thread" disclaimer at the start, just so you know its not for someone of your low comprehension.

It would be an interesting reference to Luigi being in Mario's shadow.

I would be upset as Mario is my favorite franchise/character, and it would be a misrepresentation of the 2nd most iconic character.
