For me it was both. I hate Wayans acting in general so if they made him Stalker or Static Line or any other african american character I would have disliked the move. But I can't stand when a longstanding character with plenty of back story is changed drastically or the backstory is simply erased. I read read and collected every Spiderman comic for 24 years, and stopped the day they did Longest Day. If you're too damn lazy or bad at writing to be creative with the existing material put down the pen and don't screw with the artist's work before you. It's the new takes on Joe that I find interesting and respect the effort. The 1990 series, the barrel roll/blackout/bombshell family, and even Helix are creative new additions to the mythos that bring something new to the table instead of screwing with the existing story.

It doesn't really bother me. As long as they keep the character traits the same, I could care less.
It kinda reminds me of when Paterson Joseph was touted as being the next Doctor, there were some that didn't want a black guy playing the character. Me, I couldn't have cared less, because he's a great actor, and I would have loved to have seen him in the role. As long as the core of the character remians the same, it's all good. |

I heard Black Vulcan was going to be played by Sean Williams Scott, and Apache Chief was going to be played by Ashton Kutcher in the Super Friends movie Warner Bros. was making.

A future version of Franklin Richards is going to travel back in time and take up the mantle of the Black Panther in a future issue of the Fantastic Four.

I grew up watching, reading, and playing with GI Joes from the begining (A Real American Hero). I never saw the later cartoons nor did I read any of the comics after Marvel ended. For me, That is GI Joe. The rest of this stuff might as well be called "The Corps".
I'm not bashing the later comics, cartoons, movie, or figures, but for me, unless Roadblock is a gun toting poetic black chef from Miss or Breaker is a white radio operator with a southern draw from Tenn. then it is not GI Joe.

I don't know, how many that are for them aren't white? Its not just because the would be not white, I had no problem with the Abel Shiraz Breaker and would think it was as stupid if Sgt Stone was ROC Stalker. I think its laziness, give us new characters, don't change things that have been constant for 30 years to pander to a few PC crybabies.
