    Re: Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017)

    I fully expect an unfortunately large number of fanboys to lose their shit over MJ not having red hair (nevermind her not being white), but really what gets me most is, from some of the feedback I've heard so far, this Zendeya chick just simply isn't a very good actress at all. never seen any of her work myself, but I don't know... USUALLY Marvel doesn't pick just out and out duds in the acting talent department.

    also, I just kinda hope they're not like trying so hard SPECIFICALLY "to be different". I mean I'm just not generally thrilled with ANY sort of agenda primarily driving a decision making process, anything at all that is beyond simply "the best actress to embody this particular character as she's established in the story". I just hope they're not like "well she needs to be of [x] race/ethnicity because we HAVE to have strong diversity in this thing". It just kinda seems like starting from a shaky place to me.
    but, Kevin Feige has certainly earned a healthy dopplet of trust from me.

    So Flash Thompson is a petite Guatamalan & Mary Jane is a Quadroon. Look how PC Marvel is !!



    (I actually think Revolari is a great actor & don't know who the girl is outside if my kids saw her on Disney Channel I just wanted an Archer reference)

    Yeah. Everybody freaked out when they chose Tom Holland for Spiderman. How'd that play out?

    I'm just not a fan of the forced diversity. It appears the studios all have diversity requirements to meet. I have no problem with diversity, but let it happen naturally. Quit forcing it.

    We're 13 movies into the MCU. It probably is time they thought specifically about how they can diversify. Letting it "naturally" happen doesn't appear to be working.

    They are based on already created characters. That's like if I took your username and gave it to an Iranian to balance out our Persian demographic and told him "just post like the other guy did"


    If the actor/actress can pull it off, fine. But a tiny little actor playing a bully? Nah...

    I agree with this. The character is a redhead. It's one of her defining qualities. I don't like them making a character a different race just so the entire cast isn't white. That's dumb and it's silly that people actually get offended by something like that.

    For someone who isnt that familiar with Spiderman overall:

    Why does MJ need to be a red head? Like, why is that such a defining attribute?

    Bc Peter Parker famously claimed he wanted to bag a ginger. It's a fetish.



    But really, if Ronald McDonald had a black haired mullet wouldn't you think it was odd?

    Yeah, I don't get that casting. It's like the dude from that 70's show playing Eddie Brock. Never should have happened. Eddie Brock is a Mickey Rourke type.

    Re: Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017)

    Lifted this straight from Reddit, but this is a great argument:

    "My problem is that why race bend white characters when you can use characters from the comics that already are minorities? This Spider-Man reboot would've been a fantastic time to introduce teen White Tiger and teen Nova as Peter's friends, who are both minorities. Hell' even Kamala Khan too. This is why I was disappointed with Tessa Thompson being cast as Valkyrie. I always wanted her to be Misty Knight or Photon. Why not cast non-white actors to plays Marvel characters that are non-white like them? Racebending like 5 years ago would've been OK because there was very little diversity but nowadays it seems forced and cheap since there are a bunch of non-white heroes they can use."

    She's been a red head since the 1960's. She's a well defined character, and the signature thing about her look is that she's a ginger. Most characters have defining hair color/style. I wouldn't expect a blonde Superman.

    If I had to guess this is because of those e-mail leaks where it said Spider-Man had to be white and straight. So in response everyone was clamoring for Miles Morales to be the MCU Spider-Man. Obviously we got Tom Holland, but they've tried to have a more diverse cast.

    I just hope she was cast because they liked how she played the part, and not because they're trying to be diverse. Nick Furry was always white, but Samuel L. Jackson was perfect in that role. They went with a black Iris West in the Flash TV show, and that's turned out ok. I just hope this is handled better than Johnny Storm, which was a waste of a good actor.

    I'm really excited that a trailer is coming tomorrow. So awesome that they are using Tony to give him the winged suit. I'm guessing he'll need it to fight the Vulture.
