I subject it is infected by social justice given that they gender-swapped Liet Kynes.
I am sure they will do a fine job of the special effects, but things like the casting of Liet Kynes as a black woman just pisses me off and makes me not want to see it.
Apologists may rationalize it and say Liet Kynes is a bit part, but I am someone who would see it because I read the book.
Fidelity means something to me. It isn’t that they cast a black woman, I would be just as irritated if they had cast a young white boy or Asian woman. It was a white man in the book.
Why would they change for any reason other than pandering?
