There could be more issues due to our own personal histories but each case should be looked at in an individual context, Ben Grimm could easily be changed and I'm sure not many people would have an issue, if they did really have an issue they are probably racist anyway. Michael B was sadly (as I don't rate him as a good actor at all) one of the better things in that movie but as a fan boy, many people had more issues not with Human Torch being black but that Sue wasn't also. People washed this off as 'They could be adopted' but that isn't the point. There is meant to be a certain family dynamic between Sue and Jonny and there wasn't at all, it's like the mostly didn't know each other and inserting a line which said "So you're adopted." meant the film had to actually explain the situation instead of just having a close family dynamic, we could have assumed that she was.
Hmm, pie.
