Colorblind casting doesn't bother me in the least. We need more of it in a world where white = default in media. But that said, it's a little odd that they keep racebending redheads. MJ, Iris in both the TV show and movie, Wally West (though they kind of go hand in hand), Jim Gordon, Jimmy Olsen, Alice Monaghan in the last Hellboy movie and now Maxine. I understand that red hair is not common in the real world and the amount of gingers in comics has to do with the coloring, but this is starting to feel as pointed as giving a Black character lightning powers.
