Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme. Your unfunny, forced memes also fall under this rule.
Do not treat this comm like your personal therapist. Threads about nonfictional suicide, self injury, rape, and abuse will be deleted. There are better resources out there for you.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.
Shut up about Tumblr. If it's not a discussion about Tumblr RP it will be deleted.

isn't the ladies' detective agency lead black? why not make a film out of that instead, that's a great series!

goddamnit this is what chafes me about racebending bullshit, they always go for characters that have been white by white people since inception, they never ever ever try to reach for actual characters/canons that are non-white from the start and have a shitton of lush mythos behind them. "Let's make Johnny Storm black instead of making a film about Sam Wilson or Luke Cage or Black Panther!!!! We have to shackle black folks to a white history hurr durr"

"we're not taking anything away from whites!!!"

actually yes, yes you are. erasing another cultural icon's heritage instead of supporting and promoting existing, popular PoC canons is stupid. would it be okay if ND was white but Jewish? A pale Armenian? does asphalting suddenly become bad when whitey comes from a culturally oppressed minority? why the fuck are people making the distinction?

but who cares about nancy drew anymore

it's not like they're gonna stop publishing books where she's white on the cover or anything, this casting decision is literally a drop in the ocean that is the character's entire existence

it's such obvious pandering to the pc crowd tho

and as ayrt noted it didn't do jack squat for ff

Shit who cares, if a non-white Nancy isn't enough to hold people's interest what makes them think focusing on a minor character who is canonically non-white will do anything either?

because it's blatant racebaiting

no director that has racechanged has had a good movie, they do it just to cause a stir for no reason then to get their names in the paper more.

you are having way too many feelings not just about nancy drew, but about a movie in general and a piece of media that you don't even have to experience if you don't want to

Thor and Annie were okay.

minor character means jackshit

... Annie was the lead, anon.

someone needs to read fully. 1 to 2 says they were talking about Heimdall in thor

okay, but what about Annie then? it's not dismissing the point when anon's other example had the two lead fucking characters as black.

if you're gonna argue that this kind of thing is bad for movies, don't cherrypick your examples when there are others that prove you wrong

annie was garbage though, they neutered the unpleasant characters and the writing was horrendous

the only thing they continually focused on in marketing was HEY LOOK WE HAVE A BLACK ANNIE ANNIE'S BLACK MM-HMM GIRLFRIEND UH-HUH LOOK SHE'S HELLA BLACK YO

that's not how you tell a story ffs

it was still a success, financially.

it's okay if you didn't like it, but facts is facts, having a poc actor/actress play a traditionally white character has zero negative effect on how successful a movie is.

plus I like it. Annie's not meant to be a well-written film, and really neither is Nancy Drew. so /SHRUG

it barely made it's money back anon

http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=annie2014.htm you mean doubled?

you can stop pulling facts out of your ass to justify your dumb stance any moment now

you do realize that's barely in the movie world right?

according to whom? to what authority? because everyone involved with the film itself, most importantly its producers who bankrolled the thing, are happy with those numbers.

movies don't have to be giant blockbusters to be successful. you don't seem to understand how the film industry works.

neither do you

it made more money than it cost to make. comparing it to other movies is irrelevant. that's not how business works, movies or otherwise

I know you're just a shitposter, but:

1. Black Panther is getting a movie and Luke Cage is getting a Netflix series.

2. The people who did black Johnny Storm couldn't do those characters because they don't have the rights to them.
