Comic book world, and race. Why it shouldnt fucking matter.

So everyone knows that there is a new Fantastic Four movie coming out. What people might not know, is that the guy playing Johnny Storm, AKA The Human Torch, is being played by Michael B. Jordan. Who is black. The internet trolls have stirred up so much shit, that there is shit on top of shit.
You can read about the debacle here.

I mean seriously, who the fuck cares that hes black? Nick Fury went from white to black, and even in the movies, Samuel L. Jackson did a way better job than David Hasselhoff. From what I hear they are explaining his blackness in the movie as someone who is adopted. Which is fine, but should you really have to explain that? Is race still such an issue that you have to explain to other people why your son is another color than you? That is what I love about the time we live in. There are families consisting of many colors. White fathers raising black sons, Black fathers raising white sons, or white daughters or black daughters, or any other race out there. It really shouldn't matter at all, as long as there is peace and love in that family.

So Human Torch is black? That's cool. I really don't care.  All I care about is, will the movie be good? My nerd rage at this movie isn't about race, is just about Fox creating another comic movie that isn't the X-men, so its probably going to suck. Not saying that all X-men movies were great, but the only Fox comic book movies that have been good, have been the X-men movies. No, the reason I think this movie might suck, is because the writing is always out there, like they have this source material full of a huge world of history and characters, but then the studios want to make changes. Now I'm not talking about the race change, thats ok. I'm talking about yeah they make the Human Torch black, but instead of fire, he shoots out hot pink plasma furry unicorn piss. Kind of like what they did with Deadpool in the Wolverine Origins movie.

So in closing, who the fuck cares about race. Care about the quality of the character. Care about the journey of the character. Care about the quality of the movie. Race will not change that. But shit writing will, as will shit acting.

So Michael B. Jordan?  Good Luck. I'll be watching, Ive been a fan since Friday Night Lights, and Chronicle. So I'm expecting good things.
