CaptainExplosion said: It shouldn't be done just for the sake of diversity. Really it's better to just come up with new characters of more diverse backgrounds. Samuel L Jackson as Nick Fury is one of the only times changing a character's race worked, mostly because, as far as I remember, MCU Fury's race wasn't made part of the plot. |
Probably helped that it was Samuel L Jackson, he's just awesome as any character!
Plus, how many people knew the comic books well enough to know the character's original race? Personally I know nothing about the comic books, so had no idea anything about the character had even changed.
