Is this sub just a bunch of edgy losers? It’s been watered down to screenshots of “end wokeness” ?? Pathetic
Rassist Shitpost
Chuds not realizing the Panderverse special was also making fun of them challenge impossible*

Never thought I’d post this link twice in the same day, but here we are.
These are historical figures, not fictional characters, though.
Was Cleopatra fictional?
Are there more than 5 examples like this? I can’t think of any other historical figures recast as a different race. I’m trying lol
No, and that’s an example of a character being recast as black that everybody pushed back against. What a perfect example to explain the difference!
So?
“So?” is how I feel about fictional characters being cast as different races in and of itself. If it’s done in a pandery way and/or the piece of media is a turd, that’s different, of course.
But, for example, the Hannibal TV Series is hands down the best part of the Hannibal Lector IP. They made Jack Crawford a black guy after he was white in all previous incarnations. But Laurence Fishburne killed it in that role. His portrayal of Jack was the best yet.
They also made Freddy Lounds a woman, but it was also done well enough and worked for the story, even if Philip Seymour Hoffman is a better actor. It certainly didn’t detract from things at all, though.
Your complaint should go deeper than “this person was this way in this portrayal and this way in another.” Both “this is just pandering in a way that makes the story worse” and “this is a historical drama portraying history inaccurately” are good reasons.
I don’t get what any of that have to do with this suggestion that South Park should make fun of the pandering race swaps by replacing the lead in movies about prominent black people with white guys, or white gay women.
Christian Bale would probably pull it off tbh
IM BLACKMAN
The main thing I took away from the Panderverse= Disney should create new diverse characters. Moana was good, Coco was good, Encanto was good. Do more of that and less making old movies with slight changes and
Coco and Encanto were amazing.
Yes - its a no brainer lol. Coco, Encanto, & Moana are all great movies and those characters are well liked. Idk why they dont just keep going with that formula, its working efficiently
Those new diverse Disney movies keep bombing mostly though
why pay a decent writer to make a new story when you can get a hack and the producer’s neice to
ruinadapt a classic.There’s a good chance they’re counting on the fact that getting people to drum up controversy and/or hate watch it is factored in too
They’re remaking those old movies to retain the IPs. It’s purely a business decision.
I don’t think so, if you want to just make something for that purpose there are cheaper and better ways than spending 300 million to make a mediocre movie.
Agreed. The problem with the Little Mermaid remake wasn’t that Ariel was black. It is that it was a bad movie. They remade a movie that didnt need to be remade in order to cash in on people’s nostalgia.
It isn’t as if they remade the movie as-is but made Ariel white that it would have been a blockbuster
So true! They did make a live action Beauty and the Beast featuring white actors and we fucking hated it! We also hated the live action Lion King movie, and all the main characters were blondes in that film!
That said, the live action Cinderella ended up accidentally being quite good.
It sucked ass. When I realized I was looking at my phone during “under the sea” because it was so boring, I knew it was all downhill from there.
the issues was the live action wasn’t screen accurate to the animation
There’s some fantastical mythology to play with if they did an Inuit/Eskimo movie, plus you get to use husky’s, wolves, foxes and polar bears, which are all marketable animals that people love.
Tbh I’d watch that Mandela film
As we all know, Nelson Mandela was a fictional character.
Actually sounds kinda lame the more I think about it.
This is stupid no movie has changed a histoic figures race
I don’t understand why people can’t see the difference between making Nick Fury black and making Nelson Mendela white. Are people really this stupid?
The conservative brain is incapable of comprehending nuance
Pretty sure they’ve race swapped some historical figures as well, not just marvel characters.
End wokeness says someone who probably believes Jesus was white.
Yes. They all missed the point of this episode
Cleopetra? Anyone?
Technically MCU Nick Furry is based of the Marvel Comic Ultimate universe (Earth-1610) Nick Furry, who was made to look like Samual Jackson. This was well before MCU was a thing. Marvel Entertainment Studios talked about establishing the MCU as far back as 2006, Marvels ultimate universe first issue was in 2000 and Furry made his debut in that series in 2002.
Disney didn’t acquire rights to Marvel and most characters until 2009. White Nick Furry is from a different Marvel comic series (ie different Universe)
Nick Furry
I’m sorry but I would LOVE to watch a multiversal variant of Nick Fury that’s a Furry
Sometimes you have to really reach to manufacture rage
In fairness they recently cast a black woman to play Ann Boleyn. So that’s every bit as bad as making Nelson Mandela white would be.
They made Anne Boleyn black. Thats just like making Nelson Mandela white.
Race swapping a white historical figure is the same as making a political prisoner and champion of black rights in apartheid South Africa a white person? You don’t seem to get it either. Yes making any historical figure race swapped is bad (hello, white Jesus), but this is still just as ignorant as the meme.
Yes. They are.
People see their comic book characters with more importance than they see Mandela
Jesus Christ lmao
No, they already made him white
Yes
This dude is reposting the “End Wokeness” account, so yea, he is that stupid.
Cry about it
Based on OP’s post here, yes. People are really that stupid.
because then Pedro Pascal would play every male lead
If a character’s race is a big part of that character’s story, then don’t race swap.
Otherwise, the only shit I’ll give is if the story and character is written and portrayed well.
This would be awesome! They made Green Lantern Black, and they made many other established characters black rather than make new character that are engaging and interesting.
