I misremembered, my point is these are adaptions and it’s their vision of the story they want to tell

Their reasoning for Jasmine is Agrabah isn’t a real place which is fair enough

Mmm Hmm

I'm a Canon head.

Characters should be represented as they were portrayed in the original source.

If uub is black in the manga and anime.

I shouldn't see him appearing white in a live action movie.

If Ron Weasley is a pale ginger in the books.

He shouldn't be anything but in the live action movie.

You know how many race swaps there are that haven’t elicited any sort of response regarding these kinds of attitudes? and guess what, they’re ALL whitewashed

Don’t single out white people bro. Any race feels some type of way if a character that is traditionally one race gets casted as another one

Me personally Idc who plays what just stay true to the character

If the little mermaid is just Ariel but black then who cares. If they start bringing in all this African American influence into the story or character then it’s a bit much

I still feel like people should be making original characters rather than trying to change established ones tho

They need to stop changing things. It ruins everything. Like Ariel was white and red haired, honestly why change it?

Big agree. Random race swaps for no reason kinda irk my brain. Like it just feels like an alternate version rather than straight from the source material. I don’t mind it much and side characters who don’t matter that much

It also feels like sloppy seconds to turn a popular white character into a black version out of the blue. I hate feeling like corporate execs are trying to pander to me. How bout Give us new and original characters instead of black version of white character

That said it doesn’t ruin my enjoyment of anything. Just minor pet peeve

It ruins it for me personally. Its so forced to appeal to larger audiences when the real fan base of certain things like comics has its cult for a reason. Like Marvel who is trying so so so hard to make woman and teenage girls like Superheros by showing a half nakes Thor or turning the OG characters into women.

It needs to stop.

All these female characters been around way before the MCU was a thing

For the 10 years where every headlining character in the MCU was a white man, was it "forced" then?

TheRealSB

But literally as side characters

Come on, Woman Thor, She Hulk

Black Widow ???????

Only true OG woman superhero was Wonder woman
