I don’t watch many shows. What specific shows or movies did Kathleen Kennedy ruin by changing the character’s ethnicity or gender?

    The people who overreact to the “pandering” are way funnier and more pathetic than the actual pandering…

    The absolute meltdowns people have when they see a character get a new race, sexuality, or even gender swap is wild to me. It’s really not a big deal lol

      It is a big deal though. People changing the characters we grew up with for no reason other than to check off a box. If show runners really cared about diversity, they would have new stories made rather than shoehorning them into an existing character. Like they mentioned in the special, Miles Morales was well written and given a proper backstory and that is why people like the character.
