Wow, political correctness is becoming increasingly complicated. It’s ok to take a character that was conceived of, written as, and portrayed as Caucasian, and make them any other color (or sex). It’s considered “insensitive” or “cultural appropriation” or racist to do the exact same thing to character that isn’t white. Then to really make matters confusing you have situations like “Iron Fist” (who was originally portrayed as a rich white kid, and the story wouldn’t really work if he wasn’t a rich white kid) where for some unnamed politically correct “reasoning” the character “should be” Asian. This requires one to ignore that according to the original story he wasn’t raised or trained in “Asia” but in a parallel/pocket universe and it requires the racist notion that all martial artists must be Asian.
Then you have the case of “Annie”. She’s been portrayed as a white character for decades until fairly recently. I don’t think her skin color is fundamental to the story so personally I don’t care that she was portrayed as black. That being said when she was then portrayed as white again, there were complaints that the character was being “white washed”.
What about Tanto being played by Johnny Depp? Surely there were plenty of Native Americans that could have equaled his performance. Where was the outcry?
There is absolutely no logical chain of reason here. It’s simply cultural Marxism run amok and should be treated with the same contempt as other failed murderous ideologies.
Is that doosh bag Ron Perlman in this one?
Because he has said horrible things about Trump and his supporters, and due to that I will never give him any of my business, ever.
