The Human Torch choice was clearly a diversity ploy, but it's hardly a major crime in the world of comics. Identity changes a lot in comics, so a black Human Torch is the last thing you should be worrying about in a world of flying fire men. Suspension of disbelief – that was what you were saying about the armpit hair, right? So you think it's silly for people to get angry about armpit hair whilst holding a similarly silly (in your own eyes) opinion?

By the left, yes. And the ones on the left would be labelled whatever you label them by the right.

Where is the difference here? Because you're only furthering my belief that the two major political stances here are ****ing stupid as hell

And you and I have discussed this before: in this country imbeciles on the left control more of our media, our narratives, etc.

Hey both are pieces of utter dog shit I agree. Lets maybe see them both treated as such, yeah?

Equal opportunity pieces of shit lol, that is what I want.

they've adapted

You mean Nick Fury?

They directly based this version of Nick Fury on Samuel L., and he was incredibly popular as a comics character, so when Samuel L. said he'd play him, they were understandably over the moon.

Not comparable.

Nick Fury was already portrayed in the comics as black, in Ultimate Nick Fury. The Ultimate series posited alternate-world versions of Marvel characters, for example with Miles Morales (see below)

There's a comic where Superman is black too.

Black Supes, yay or nay?

Actually, I want consistency lol. You whine about a black being cast as white then you pitch a fit over the reverse or stfu.

Help I've typed so much

the human torch is a ball of ****ing fire so his skin color really doesnt matter. weird character to focus on and get mad over.

Not a Supes fan so idc either way really. Never got the appeal, but Cavill plays him well enough for now

So wait, why does you being a big fan of Supes matter? That would seem to suggest being a big fan of a character would be a valid reason to not want to see that character changed.

I'd agree with you, but that's essentially blasphemy this day and age. It's like being truthful and saying white privilege doesn't exist, don't do it.

Who the hell was glacier

I like T'Challa, for example, so making T'Challa a white king of Africa would piss me off because T'Challa is already a good character without doing that, and making him white weakens his backstory and makes little to no sense

So yeah I'd care about that. Making Falcon white? whatever

It makes a difference because I have investment in different things. I don't have time to blow a gasket over every decision comic book movie producers make

And hey I agree and I'd *love* that courtesy to be extended to others. But nope, most of the time it's silly shit like "you don't want 4 chicks as ghostbusters? It's not because you just loved the originals, you're a misogynistic piece of dog shit".
