Diversity vogue? Or “Ubermensch”?
To me, this is all more like contrived concoctions of appeasement to diversity. One would think the merits of a black actor could stand on itself. However, this doesn’t seem to be the prevalent case. Instead, those in power have to rely on tried-and-true franchises upon which to foist these offerings on the altar of diversity so they can still make a profit in the endeavor.
