Instead of ruining good classics, why not creat a new one…. Super Roach that saves kids from black violence, steps in to smash urban terrorist attacks by Antifa and BLM, or stops bombings of police stations by BLM and Antifa terrorists, or saves little girls from violent black teenagers?
They pretty much already did that with “Steel”, but probably everyone wants to forget about him after the Shaquille O’Neal movie.
Bingo! I have been complaining about this for a while. If a white person had taken a long-standing black person's role we would be having non-stop articles about "cultural appropriation". When it's the other way around, we get articles about how brave and wonderful this is.
If you want to have a super hero who is black, write your own damn story. Don't draft on a story or character that has, since inception, been white. Well, actually an alien.
I thought Black Panther was an okay movie, just okay; but, it didn't deserve all of the accolades that it got. However, I liked that they made a story of their own. (In my defense on Black Panther only being an okay movie, the Rotten Tomatoes score seems to also think this as there is a 20 point difference between what the critics thought (Oprah: It's not a movie, its a revelation.) and what the audience thought about it.)
