    There are certain issues I would consider legitimate concerns ... this just isn't one of them.

    Again, it's people who haven't even seen the movie making the assumption the movie is overly political based on what ... the trailer? Yeah, it's criticism I frankly don't consider all that legitimate so I'll downplay it. Not trying to be mean about it or anything, just saying ....

    You’re downplaying people using coded words to cover up their bs logic and just straight up racism, do that long enough and suddenly you’re saying things like “is it ok to punch a nazi?”........oh wait people have said that

    The fact that it's bs logic is pretty much why I'm downplaying it. Like I said, it's just a bunch of guys on twitter or whatever baiting.

    Unless their numbers are to the degree that it threatens the success of the movie, there's not a whole for me therwas to actually care about.

    I was looking at the jewelry line https://www.douriean.com/blackpantherjewelry and I think we can translate the Wakandan Script. It looks like the jewelry is engraved with "Wakanda Forever." Looking at the mask now.

    Re-read the last part of what I said as you continue to downplay this, you reap what you sow

    People downplayed Trump and look what they got. It's more than just 3-4 people on the internet.

    Generally lead by folks who have gone HAM over Michael B Jordan in Fantastic Four. John Boyea in Star Wars until Finn became a JOKE.

    Folks who can do the racism gymnastics to cherry pick rage.

    Hmmm... so the people defending Sunspot are also the ones attacking Jordans Human Torch? Weird. I wonder if the people defending Jordan are also the ones attacking Sunspot.

    Ultimately though, in MOST cases I do think race spending characters from one medium to another usually doesn't make a difference. Obviously there are exceptions... we can't have an Asian Black Panther for example. But stuff like a black Heimdal or an Asian Colleen Wing seemed pretty harmless. Heck, in Colleens case it was probably an improvement. Jordan was probably the best part of the FF movie. For marvel in particular, I think the casting people know what they are doing. We'll see if that applies to Fox.

    Colleen is actually supposed to be part Japanese, but some artists weren't always able to pull it off so a number of people ( my younger self included) thought that she was just white.
