This whole race swap one way thing is old. Kevin Feige literally apologized for casting Tilda Swinton as The Ancient One, admitted Dr. Strange wasn't in Wanda Vision because he was a white male, but Disney pulls this hypocritical crap.

Christ, white actors stepped down from ANIMATED roles because their real life skin color didn't match their characters. It's fucking insanity. But this? This is ok.

Remember when you first heard the term "mass insanity" to describe the behavior of a large group of people doing something idiotic? Here we are..

It's boring, idiotic, and racist. Besides a new Rocketeer movie wouldn't be the same without James Horner composing the score.

What a shock. People complaining because a movie is getting made without a white person as the star, and for some reason people are outraged about it. I wonder why? 🤔

Also the show was called WandaVision. When he was in human form, Paul Bentley was a white male as a lead character in the show. Apparently Disney and Marvel don’t hate white men as much as you think they do.

You might want to work on your comprehension.

"Also the show was called WandaVision. When he was in human form, Paul Bentley was a white male as a lead character in the show. Apparently Disney and Marvel don’t hate white men as much as you think they do."

Sit down, chief:

"Doctor Strange scene was cut from the 'WandaVision' finale so a 'white guy' wouldn't save the day"

"Feige continued: "We didn't want the end of the show to be commoditized to go to the next movie — here's the white guy, 'Let me show you how power works.'"

You get my point. And somehow you think you’re not even remotely racist or sexist.

This is all you people know.

Untrue.

I'll fix it for you.

People complaining because a movie is getting made with another lazy race swap of a popular character.

That appears to be dead in the water now.
