&gt; However, this anger seems to be misplaced. It goes against everything GG stands for.

How does being annoyed at race changing characters arbitrary have anything to do with proper journalistic practices?

&gt; The logical thing to do, would be to judge his character and actor's ability to play the character as a whole.

The problem is largely because he's suppose to be biologically related to Sue Storm. Who is still white in the movie. So now you have to further change the premise. And why? Surely there's any number of actors who physically resembles Johnny Storm that could've pulled it off great. It's a pointless change, that requires *more* changes to the plot to accommodate.

&gt; So you may ask yourselves, "why are they making white characters black?" Yes, pandering does have a part. But consider this- The Fantastic 4 were created during the 60s. A black superhero would be very hard to sell. The stories change along with the times. A White/Black power superhero would have been accepted in the 20s/60s, but in today's day and age, not so much. 

Falcon was created in 1969. Late 60s, yes, but still in the 60s. But wait! Black Panther was created in 1966.

They *could've* had a black character if they wanted. They opt'd not to. I'm not going to try to guess why they did or didn't make a character the way they were, but nothing stopped them from making black characters, either as a supplementary character, or as a title character.

&gt; While they are looking for black actors to fill white roles, they wouldn't get some random black guy to act. They'ed get a talented guy who can act and make his role believable. Why do you think there's such a big push for Idris Alba as James Bond? Yes there are some cases of pandering (Female Thor, Gay Iron Man.), but why should we judge a few case to represent the whole image?

They don't need to make James Bond black. That's just stupid, changing an *iconic* character like that. They could do it like this:

Next Bond movie, Bond gets teamed up with another agent, who happens to be black (Bond's cool, so he doesn't give a shit). They both perform as secret agents should, blow the bad guys and their stuff up, save the day, and shake hands at the end (then Bond goes bangs his girl, because Bond does as Bond likes).

Spin off movie time! Starring DUN DUN DUN the new character as the main character, separate from Bonds antics. No race change required.

And what's this shit about a Gay Iron Man?

&gt; What do you think? (Be civil)

I'll be as civil as Steve and Tony in Civil War.

EDIT: inb4 I'm called a racist.
