Why?
First, I like to write, and it comes easy for me. The problem, as you pointed out, is writing too much, which I struggle with like Conan with a giant snake.
Second, if you have an idea or opinion, why not voice it completely, instead of just a few words a la the “lol/tkdr/emoji” generation?
Third, you as the potential reader, have the option to read my comments, or not.
Fourth, if you choose to read the comments, and take umbrage to something i wrote, then by all means, submit your opionbane we can have an intelligent discussion or argument. I wrote my thoughts, the ball is in your court.
No. What matters is that zendaya bitch is ugly as fuck.Does Mary Jane's ethnicity really matter than much to the character? I think to the vast majority of viewers she is Spiderman's love interest and race is insignificant.
The big issue for me is not generally inclusivity being forced into films it doesn't belong but rather a recent trend of it to be specifically politicised and used as a crutch for poor writing. We've had a growth of Mary Sue like characters lacking in substance and just playing off of "empowerment". In reality I want Captain Marvel to be just as interesting as Ironman or indeed as interesting as Black Widow or Scarlet Witch I don't just want to see some pure power fantasy.
Part of the reason a character like Luke Skywalker lived in the memory is that he had substance to him, a believable heroes journey both in terms of learning abilities and facing moral tests. real inclusivity is giving us a female version of that not just a woke power fantasy.
It only bothers me if a character's race or nationality is an important aspect of the character.
Otherwise, I don't give a shit.
I would completely agree if it was consistent instead of showing clear favoritism.
Check out Hermione Granger in the stage production of the play where the Potter kids are all adults:

It's just getting ridiculous.

Why does that bother you?
Was Hermione tied to being white further than a basic description of her character in the books?
It's the double standard that bothers me.
Either the race matters or it doesn't. If it doesn't matter, fine. Just hire whomever you think fulfills the part for the best. But we both know that changing a character from black to white is far less likely to be acceptable in today's political climate.

She's not Mary Jane, though. She's a different character. The fact that she has the same initials is more of an Easter egg for the fans.
That's one of those changes that actually isn't a big deal. In A high school in Queens there actually would be a fuckton of minorities. Plus they didn't change the character, they just made a new one.
Nah, I wouldn’t say that at all. She’s cute, but my point was why do they feel the need to change the race of MJ?
Because people want to see characters on the screen that look like them, or that they are familiar with, and studios want to expand their audience.
Changing a secondary character in a minor way does not hurt the story. There are sooo many differences between the movies and the comics, yet people focus on race and gender. It is about ticking off demographic boxes, not some SJW conspiracy to replace teh white man.
