Easy enough, but before I do please explain 1 single thing about Oprah, Black Vulcan, Apache Chief and The Black Panther as characters that demands they not be white.
I think you are marginalizing the "white" experience with your posts and adding credibility to the intent behind the jokes I posted at the same time. Quote:
not me im latino and i hate it when they change character's race. not that im racist but it pisses me off that they need to add a black guy in the main cast because there's too many white characters and not enough diversity, if that were the case than add charecters who were originaly black in the first place, like stalker i would of love to see stalker in ROC that be cool and roadblock as well. im not hating on ripcord, infact i thought he was kinda cool but i hope they kill him off cause i want to see flint as dukes next best friend and please dont make flint mexican.lol

Physical change is def. harder for the audience to take. If Duke was a female while she'd still be a hero that was brave and courageous, there would be things that changed similar to when Beachead went a lil surfer lin VvV. I mean I wouldn't buy Duke as girly. That would change who he/she was even if other traits remained in tact.

I'd take Katie Sackoff for Duke over Channing Tatum any day, and I don't think I'd be alone here. |

Careful, Dirk Benedict was talking all kinds of smack about "Stardoe" until BSG premiered, and ended up looking like a first class douche when Kara Thraise ended up being a more dynamic character than he ever got to work with.

I believe all the race changes have happened because of color but it is not black or white.
The color is green. Producers and writers look for a market and target what they think will bring them the most green. Ripcord was cast as a character thay thought would appeal to a certain ethnic audience in a movie full of white folks. I am quite positive that nobody in charge of ROC had any idea who Ripcord was or his history. He was a name pulled out of a list that seemed to be good for a pilot or whatever the character traits they wanted so bam. Ripcord. He will be the guy that pulls in a certain demographic. Same changes apply to the Spawn movie. We need a white character to pull in the white folks who will not be interested in a black superhero. Oh, Terry somebody, his friend, um cool. He will be our white guy. Now white people will probably come see our movie too. And we will bank GREEN!!! These are not my opinions of how movies should be made, but then again, I also don't make millions a year either so what do I know. |

On the whole black white reversal, I cant remember a time that a character went from black to white but the topic of white to black comes up from time to time like daredevils Kingpin.
On my statement way back on page 1, I may have got carried away and didnt mean to offend. And to jump on the spiderman topic, I dont remember which issue it was but when a person made a racist comment around spidey he retaliated by saying 'how do you know Im not black under this mask'. Zing! |
