Oh, I would love to see them remake that in the next Star Trek movie, but cast black actors, just to hear people bitch.

Is the zebra a white animal with black stripes, or a black animal with white stripes?

Seriously, it Just. Doesn't. Matter.

As long as she has the character actions/attitude/hot body down, who cares? I don't remember people freaking out when Will Smith took on the role of Deadshot, a traditionally white character.

But people definitely lost their shit over the Gunslinger in Dark Tower being played by Idris Elba.

I don't care if they change races or genders or anything if it doesn't matter to the character. Insisting that a character be something specific is ridiculous unless it's absolutely necessary for the character, especially when we're discussing fictional beings who have super powers that don't exist. I wasn't thrilled when Tom Cruise was cast as Jack Reacher, because Jack Reacher's height and stature are practically another character in themselves and certainly integral to his persona, but I got over it and still enjoyed the movie...it's all make believe so who cares?

True about Idris Elba, but that didn't fit my narrative, so I conveniently left that out... :mrgreen:

But otherwise, agreed on all accounts. It seems like people actually LOOK for things to be bothered by, and then become even more incensed once they get behind the keyboard. Change Martin Luther King to a white guy? Ridiculous and insulting. Change Abraham Lincoln to a black guy? Confusing and dumb. Change George Washington to an Asian? Nonsensical and random. But change Spiderman to a latino boy? OUTRAGE!

And as for my other points, I looked at her pictures online, and she will DEFINITELY be able to portray the "hot body" requirement. As for the rest, I will look forward to see her slink around killing the shit out of people.

Regarding Cruise, I thought he did a great job in the first one, but the second one left a bit to be desired in my opinion. I wasn't bothered by the physical differences, because I've only read two or three of the books, so I didn't have THAT much invested in the character.

Hmmm, change George Washington to an Asian...

When George Washington was young he did chop down that cherry tree...with his hands as part of his training. And now he will be the ultimate weapon against the British oppressors in the upcoming movie "Fists of Freedom"!

Hell yeah I'll watch that movie. Especially if they have the big sunrise duel at Yorktown between Washington and Cornwallis who will be played by Tom Hardy.

I didn't care that they made Spiderman latino, I did care about the character Peter Parker so killing him off I did care about. A distinction :)

That would be hysterical if so. Two actors stolen from the DC 'verse to come star in what is essentially a parody of comic book movies.

More on topic, I also think he would do a good job. Straight man to Deadpool's lunacy.

How much meta can he get away with before WB snaps? You know if Zod is Cable then DP has to talk about it.

Superhero Hype
It was recently confirmed that Josh Brolin (Guardians of the Galaxy, Sicario) has been cast as the mutant Cable in 20th Century Fox‘s Deadpool 2, and now the actor (via Instagram) has shared some behind-the-scenes photos of preparing for the prosthetics and facial scarring the role will require.
...
Deadpool 2 is set to introduce two key characters from the X-Force world, including Zazie Beetz (Atlanta) as Domino, a luck-manipulating mutant, and Cable (Josh Brolin), the time-traveling son of the X-Men’s Cyclops. It’s also been confirmed that both an X-Force movie and a Deadpool 3 are being planned as separate follow-ups to Deadpool 2, and that Brolin’s deal is for four films.

Ryan Reynolds shared our first official look at Zazie Beetz as Domino as she'll appear in Deadpool 2 earlier on, but now another promotional still of the Atlanta actress in full costume as the extremely lucky mutant mercenary has found its way online.

The first pic led many to assume that Domino's discoloration around her left eye was not a tattoo at all but actually the result of vitiligo, and this close-up look at the character definitely seems to suggest that this is the case.

Well, the actress does in fact seem to be female, so she's got that in common with the source material...

Yeah, its a pity they decided to normalize her instead of white washing her because that wouldn't have raised a shitstorm at all.

I have no problem with the changes. I've been watching superhero movies and shows for a while now so Im fine with the fact that some things will vary from the source material. Hell, sometimes it's even for the best. This seems to me, to fall into the latter category.
Well do you ever get the feeling that the story's too damn real and in the present tense?

I think a lot of people are up in arms because it contrasts with a lot of the other stuff they did in the series. Most of the other characters have look very, very much like their comic book counterparts, while she looks completely different. It makes the change stand out more. Had they done it in one of the old X-Men films where they were reinventing everyone's look, nobody would have cared.

She looks an awful lot like the comic version: improbably attractive woman in impractical combat wear, with a weird eye thing.

IMHO, it's a bit of a different standard when looking at a well-established main character vs a bit player. Maybe they should change DPs costume to blue and gold with a cape ala Superman? Comics are a visual medium and changes to the look of characters will always provoke a response, especially when there does not seem to be a good reason for the changes.
