Just ignore these losers. Clearly the big movie studios don't care either, which must mean casting a black person does not affect ticket sales either.

What happens when they cast a black actor to replace another ethnic group?

The people defending the casting of the Odyssey are the same people who would get upset if they cast a blond hair blue eyes white girl as clayapatra.

Generally agree with making fun of such people espescially in fantasy.

I fucking hated it in the witcher series though. I mean no disrespect to the actress that played Tris Merigold she did well - well, at least better that the one for Yennefer or some of the other sorceresses. But the plot is already diverse, it is based on historic folklore and incorporates racism and xenophobia. It makes just so little fucking sense. Though to be fair, little did make sense, the director really screwed the series and the fans of its source material over big time.

In Bridgerton, yes I weirdly enough enjoyed the first season, I did not give a fuck about the diversity nor felt it forced to me.

Rings of power

Any actor should be able to play any role regardless of race or gender. Anything else is systemic discrimination.

"You can't play shakespeare because you're black!" screams the basement dwelling internet troll at the kenyan shakespeare society.
