How about instead of changing the gender/ethnicity of pre-existing characters, they just made new ones that are interesting instead? I guess that's a no-go, because it'd require some effort and creativity.

Why in the blue fuck would they do that? Mags is a Jewish man, no need to change him. Good God this is getting stupid.

Nice title....

Ask yourself this. Why does the race of a fictions character matter?

I'm black and this is stupid and it's no reason behind this. Its absolutely no reason to change magneto race.

It’s all so silly... people are not color blind, if you are going to change something about an established character either A) don't pretend it isn’t obvious and write something into the canon that accounts for it, or B) just create a new damn character, or C) cast a person of ANY size, shape, color, gender, but do the completely dreaded yet entirely practically necessary which is makeup, body suits and CG to make them look as the character was intended to look, of course defeating the purpose of their so-called agenda’s ridiculous premise to begin with.

It’s actually more offensive to me that people are being chosen to play roles that don’t fit the actor/actress simply to make a quota Disney, or anyone else trying to make in the public eye. Apart from a paycheck I wouldn’t feel good about being picked for the role.

That’s the state of the industry at the moment unfortunately, so much out there to draw from, characters, universes, stories to fit every shape of person, but all they can think to do are misguided things like this..

pandering.

I say it was so stupid of the US government not stepping in and stopping Disney from acquiring 20th Century Fox. What is Disney competition well apart from Universal and Netflix not so much but independent studios that have very little fanfare or very unknown. Come on, Disney is going to drive to the ground 20th Century Fox franchises to the ground starting with X-Men
