IGN docking points on Tarzan because Tarzan was white.

Reviewer letting their SJW ideology get in the way of education... Tarzan was white.

It's an old cinematic convention. It doesn't bother me because most movie goers ARE white, and they tend to want to want some films with people that look like them.

If they're that sensitive about a word, they're too sensitive to serve.

It's not the Marine that's so sensitive. It's the pusillanimus Generals.

If you tell me John Wayne didn't make the perfect Genghis Kahn I'll eat my hat......

Spot the difference between the real Juno mission team, and Google's interpretation of it.

Why even do this? Why not stay true to who the people actually are?

I actually don't mind this one ...
Kinda tired of Robert Downey Jr.

Also kinda tired of superheroes.

You'd think the femi-nazis would be outraged. Why does a woman need to ride on the coat-tails of a man? Why can't she be a super-hero in her own right?

We need a transvestite wonder woman.... to be fair.

So now Ironman is FE male?



Just so I understand the thinking here;
- white people growing dreadlocks is an unacceptable act of cultural appropriation
- white characters being re-imagined is perfectly acceptable

Re-imagining popular characters just strikes me as lazy checking. If you want a super hero who represents X demographic then create one. Taking an established character and changing them is just lazy and insincere.

And Loki was a horse that sired offspring with Svaðilfari (another horse) to produce Sleipnir.

Mythology is fun at times

Jesus, it's NOT a reimagined character. It's someone stepping into the role. Tony Stark is STILL the original Iron Man, and exists in this universe. This has happened several times in the Iron Man series.... different races, different sexes. This isn't the world flipping poles.
