Guess I’m passing on all the JLD stuff. I’m so over these needless raceswaps! How about use an original diverse character for once!!! Black Constantine just means Dr Mist or a revamped Bloodwynd won’t get a shot. Marvel continues to smoke DC in regards to POC
Mist isnt the main character though. They arent racebending Constantine just because. He's the central character, will be one of the leads of JLD. Black characters have other black characters around them....It wont be (if they are serious about this) wont be Constantine and a magical world of white people.

I mean, I kind of figured they were doing it because they wanted to make one of the central characters diverse which is usually the reason they race-bend major characters although I don't think Constantine being white would make it a "magical world of white people" but I guess we'll see how they cast everybody else.
Why assume that would be the case though?
That’s my point! DC would rather adapt a White character and change their race in live action (no where else btw) over adapting and pushing an original diverse character! It’s damn miracle Static and Blue Beetle have projects in the works!
I’m so over the regressive raceswaps! Give me the REAL diverse characters! Not these White characters in Black/Brown/Asian face!
DC uses original minority characters all the time. They just get ignored when people want to complain about raceswaps. A black Deadshot didn't stop Bloodsport and a black Constantine doesn't mean Bloodwynd or Dr. Mist won't appear.
I won't even get into the issues with comparing this to black or brown face and why that comparison doesn't work.
