Keep doubling down on that Alex Jones-level cognitive dissonance. You might have a future as a Disney employee.

A Wrinkle In Time was written when most of the US was still segregated and discrimination was still legal.  Heck interracial marriages still where illegal in most states when it was first released.  Them adding a few minority characters to reflect current times and not the late 50's and early 60's I have no problem with.  Also its not like all white cast version adaptation of the book doesn't exists.  People that are butt hurt over the inclusion of minority actors in newest version can just watch the 2003 version instead.   

Okay, two things.

First, that's still not a good enough reason to run around ethno-swapping and gender-swapping established characters for no reason. It didn't matter in the book, and it still doesn't matter- so why do it?

Second, the big issue is apparent in the damn trailers: they took a book that is so fantastically creative that it required technology 50 years beyond its conception and practically threw it all away to write a 109 minute inspirational ad for anyone who ever felt victimized. And as nice a sentiment as that is, What the fuck did they do with the movie I waited 15 years to watch?
