A situation where Sue and Johnny are lovers instead of brother and sister is even worse than the race swapping situation. With the former you're going so far away from who the characters are that you might as well scratch the title and just make a generic superhero film since it certainly wouldn't be anything resembling a FF film.
Ultimately, I would have preferred the cast to be racially realised the way Stan the man had created them but I'm not that bothered or put off by the sibling dynamic between Jordan and Mara. After seeing the black brother and white sister relationship from the tv show, 90210 it could work very well. There are too many other things to worry about given Fox' track record with the series. Do NOT mess up Doom and Don't make Galactus a freakin' space cloud.
What really gets me though is that they swear in the Bond films. So since we're all Bond fans surely none of us are offended by it? And who is actually offended by the f word anyway?
And as for that remark about !! Barbara Broccoli No Gentleman would be so Rude.
Those religious people and that "leftist gay mafia" you speak of. ("Leftist gay mafia"?)
Let's be honest, however, it is a word. A word that has been in the dictionary for some time. "The" has also been in the dictionary a long time, but we have no problem with it. I'm not saying everyone uses the F-bomb, and I'm not saying that its use in anyway makes you less civilized than the next person. That next person wouldn't hesitate to eat your corpse if it was the only source of food and you were trapped on Everest for twelve days, but obviously they're more civilized because they don't use that word.
Yep, really stupid but one member was actually ranting about that. And he didn't get in any trouble. Type it into the sites search bar, it should show up.
Good, because the terms "Caucasian" and "African American" are both inaccurate and ridiculous.
Would you have a Black actor play Red Skull?
Well, the odds that we'd see his hands are slim, his face would be blood red, so that wouldn't matter much.
Now, the character of the Red Skull is a Nazi. The odds of a black guy playing him are slim, purely because of the definitions of his character. Besides, Hugo Weaving did such a good job, why would you want to throw him to the curbside?
That's effin sad that the only effin time you can use that effin word is then.
Really? But they're going to bring Skull back, so you'd hope he would return to finish what he started?
Is there anyone that would stop watching the Bond films if a black actor was confirmed to play 007?
Neither would I for that matter and i think anyone who would need only look at the nuts behind the CRAIGNOTBOND debacle of 2005-06 to see how ridiculous such a position would be. I see in The Sunday Times magazine today that Idris Elba (one of their 100 C21st Britons) was linked with the Bond role yet again, so this thread is very topical and has a definite right to exist in my book.
Would I accept a black Bond? Yes, I would.
Is there really any more relevant discussions we can have on this? I think it is rather talked out. But I am glad this thread has lasted this long.
I think that there is still more to say on this (I know I've been meaning to add to it in a substantive sense and I will very soon). Please mods keep this thread open.
Well, there have been articles doing the rounds over year ago now to the effect that Idris Elba will play Mr Big in a remake of LALD. Can't really see it though as much as I dig the idea personally.
Or they could use Idris as a villain closer to the Big of the novel.
Yes, sorry that is what I meant to emphasise - that it would be a more faithful (wouldn't be hard, mind) adaptation of LALD than was the 1973 film version, presumably under new title to avoid confusion.
Of course Weaving was great, I mean hypothetically, if the role was open to a cast or a recast, could a black actor play the Red Skull, including before he turned into a red skull? I don't think so, for very obvious reasons.
They could even give him the name Buonaparte Ignace Gallia.
Idris did not impress me all that in PROMETHEUS perhaps it is time for Michael Fassbinder to pick up the cape of 007. ;)
