Well, I'm asking now. What does make them more interesting? And regarding your last question: if you're always race-swapping, it shows that white characters are still the majority (since obviously it's not happening the other way around). Unless you race-swap every single white character, in which case, what was the whole point anyway? You still haven't really said how it's inherently a great thing in and of itself.KingVegetto wrote: ↑Tue Oct 12, 2021 1:09 pm I never said they wouldn't, i'm just saying it dosen't have to be one or the other, there's no reason at all why we can't have both original films starring BIPOC and remakes and reboots featuring traditionally white characters as a different race. I don't believe it's half-hearted at all, also you never specifically asked what made them more interesting before now. Your post certainly isn't doing anything to change my mind, so I guess that leaves us at a stalemate. I don't really see how changing a characters race functions on the idea that media will still be dominated by white characters, that makes no sense to me at all.
I think this nicely sums up Fury:https://www.domtheartist.com/2019/10/01 ... ame-black/
I suppose it can exist along with new original characters, but I'm mainly wondering what gives merit to race-swapping in general. Again, the Fury article is nice, but that also could have been done with an original character since he's fundamentally different anyway.
