    Oh you poor poor white guy. How will you survive this injustice? Lemme put this into perspective. You’re talking about taking away a black superhero and replacing them with a white actor. Here’s the point. How many superhero movies star black people as the leads? I’ll give you a hint, it’s drastically less than half.

    Let me now reframe this a bit better for you in the future. Correct, they shouldn’t just recast roles to show their support for under represented communities in pre-existing properties. They should be writing new exciting, engaging stories around those communities and making them just as mainstream as the older properties. That’s a much better argument that doesn’t make you sound like a snowflake closet racist and gets offended by the littlest shit.

      Talking about snowflakes…

      But I’m with you in writing new properties. And I wouldn’t go to the cinema to see a white actor as Black Panther.
