    Why not? It’s a FICTIONAL character. It can be any color. You know…because it’s FICTIONAL.
    The question is, why does it bother you that the FICTIONAL character is black?

    And for the reasons why they wanted to do that are the same reasons as to why people are upset.

    And based off of the results...looks like they should have kept Ariel a white ginger.

    Apparently you are so entrenched in your view of this that you can't see the good in the situation. Nothing I can say will change that, so we'll end it here I guess.

    I'll bet he/she/eieio was one of the people who were upset that Yosemite Sam, a fictional character, had guns.

    Because that fictional character has never been black before in it's 200; year history. Leave things alone no problem keep jacking with everything big problem. That been the problem with the left from the very beginning there is never such a thing as good enough. There is no leaving well enough alone. And then they start calling people names when it blows up in their face. No it can't be a fifty year history of lefty trying to delegitamize different opinions, or disenfranchise those they can't win over by legitimate argument, they have to try and write them out of the script, in this case literally, its gotta be some flaw with those who have finally had enough.

    False. There are many reasons not to like a movie.

    Haven’t seen Black Adam yet, and I was hoping it was at least decent since DC movies have been very hit or miss lately and The Rock was super pumped about this project.

    Theyre black because that’s how the creators in the comics intended them to be. Blade has always been a black vampire since he debuted in the 70s and Wesley Snipes did a fine job portraying him the 90s movies

    Black Panthers entire character and origin involves being a black African king, so this doesn’t work there I’m afraid

    Activist can allege whatever they want but the reality is the reason Hollywood hits are mostly white is because foreign box office receipts for movies with black leads almost always suck and Hollywood is all about the money. Has little to do with this movie or what it did or did not do.

    There are white people in wukanda I'm afraid. And since Netflix had the balls to make Cleopatra black ... We can make black Panther white. You know? Because why not?

    We probably shouldn't do that because it wouldn't be worth the riots.

    Did you rush out to see it?
    You don't have to see the movie to see the pattern

    What if it was a Christian Little mermaid?

    A catholic tinker bell?

    See, the problem is, you agree with the agenda, so you think shoving the agenda down everybody's throat proves it's needed.

    My daughters are black. I certainly don't need a bunch of white virtue signaling liberals ramming their agenda down my throat. Just like you would be if religion was pushed down your throat at every turn.

    Spare me the "we need this" BS.

    The real issue is the liberal lefts inability to move through any facet of life without looking for an injustice that needs their activism.

    It's a sickness.
