She's wrong. Theres a good balance of everyone. Is there a few more white characters that POC? Yes. That's just how the comics are though, the source material. People complaining about it just telling on themselves that they focus more in race than they should. If you're looking at a character and your complaint is "why are they white?" Then you're the one looking at color. People are people, the only thing that should matter is if they're stupid or not. --- Word from the wise: Don't run in the shower. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Raikuro posted... Is she pretending the F4 movies didn't try to make her look white as hell There are white latinos with naturally blond hair. Sophia Vergara has natural blond hair, but when she started working in the US her agent told her to dye it brunette because that's what Americans expect latinos to look like. Also reminds me of the time John Byrne was banned from the forums on his own fan site over Jessica Alba being cast as Sue Storm. He said latinas with blond hair look like prostitutes. When other forum members called him out, he doubled down and bad mouthed the forum on his personal site for being "politically correct". --- "But who prays for Satan?

31Veteran posted... I found this choice kind of weird myself. Were they worried about the old foreign wise man trope? In the comics Dr Strange definitely found wisdom from a local. Yeah they were concerned about the stereotype. It is what it is, they cant win with everyone. Either they keep it the same as it was in the source material (like Iron Fist) and get complaints from one group of people that the character is problematic due to a racist stereotype or trope or they attempt to update it and make it more modern and get complaints from another group of people that its woke.

This is so strange to me. There are more white people than any other race in America. Why wouldn't they have more white people than any other race in the movies? Of course they are more white than other races, it's a movie made in America where that's what more people look like than any other race.

This is one of the most moronic, ill timed complaints Ive ever heard. Maybe during the first two phases you could try to make this argument. I mean youd also be arguing against decades and decades of comic book properties, which isnt the movies fault for casting comic accurate characters. Also that isnt even universal, theyve casted a lot of diverse actors for typically white roles. But now? How moronic, clearly not paying attention. The Eternals, Shang Chi, Black Panther, Ms. Marvel, Moon Knight, Dr Strange 2, etc. And all the original male heroes are being phased out for female versions. Hawkeye, Hulk, Ant Man, Thor. Also have a black Captain America. If anything they should be praised for their diversity. --- Like 90% of CE topics are the same way lol.

Love and Thunder literally ends saying that Thor will return. Just because She-Hulk is being introduced doesnt mean that Bruce is being replaced.

ViewtifulGrave posted... Why do people keep saying this? Because theyre pushing female versions of every character? Whats not to understand. This isnt saying theyre completely dumping every male version of a character still left alive, but theyre obviously trying to make the new ones have more focus. I forgot Iron Heart and likely Black Panther added to this list as well. Thor will return is kind of purposely ambiguous. She Hulk is getting her own TV series, which is more Hulk titled content than Bruce Banner has received since his one movie 14 years ago. And Ant Man not only has the Wasp but it looks like his daughter Cassie is joining the team as well. I mean I think the fact that all these characters are existing at the same time should tell you something. IShall_Run_Amok posted... Good news! Shortly after you typed this, this was posted. Mhmm.

As they should be, seeing as the majority of Marvel's characters are. This is not a brand new thing to make up as they go along. This is pre-existing material.

The only reason they changed the race of The Ancient One, was because the character origin was originally a Tibetan and that would not sit well with the Chinese government. So instead, they white washed the character and to try to do some damage control changed the gender.
