    I was merely commenting that it's incredibly funny that you make a "joke" about someone being late to the party with their outrage, but your post is late to the party in replying to that post (check the timestamps).
    I don't really feel like I was being either priggish or a$$holish in my reply. Sounds like you're the one with the touched nerves.
    Have a good day, haha.

        Benedict Cumberbatch would make a great Morgan Freeman if they ever make a biopic.
        He has a similar authoritative quality in his voice.

          Fantastic Four 2015 was bad. But not because Human Torch was black. I don't know if we'll ever get a good Fantastic Four movie. The Incredibles doesn't count.

            Because unless they change the race of a character to black they're racist.
            Some BODY once told me.

              Mary-Jane is not real and it isn't like being white is crucial to her character.
              Iris in The Flash TV show is also black and I am pretty sure she was white in the comics.

                People forget that these characters were
                all
                white in 1963. I don't know why adding diversity is such a big deal. It's not like they changed Peter Parker's ethnicity.

                    Here it feels like they wanted a Miles movie more than Peter. I would have preferred had they left Peter Parker alone & just use Miles & ignore Peters involvement in that.
                    ^Therein lies the big problem. could you imagine the sh!tstorm fans would put up if they used Miles instead of Peter this time? They can't even accept the IDEA that Mary Jane may or may not be portrayed by a biracial actress, all hell would break loose if this had been a Miles Morales-led film instead of yet another go-around with Peter Parker.

                        Too few people (general movie goers) aren't aware of the Miles product line of comics.
                        Whether she's MJ or not doesn't matter. I think most people are upset NOT that a black gal is playing a white gal. Rather that studio heads think they '
                        Have
                        ' to mix up the cast with diversity.
                        For the comic books, females are assuming the role of Thor, Wolverine, Iron Man. As much as I'd hate to use the term but there is an agenda there.
                        For the movie, (and I know Michelle is not MJ) haveing a black girl play MJ is a non-event, it's 2017. The point being addressed by most in here may be "Does the director feel he needs diversity". That we may never know.
                        keeps alive the weak, the stupid, the lazy that breed and multiply, weakening the human race

                          KIDS know who Miles is thanks to the cartoon. That's what counts on that front.

                            She's half white, you racist troll.
                            Look at you, crying like a baby. Just imagine your reaction if they cast an actual black person.
                            As I grow older, I pay less attention to what people post, I just watch their avatars.
