    Yup. Characters should remain consistent if it’s important.

    Tonto should not have been played by Johnny Depp. Gross.

    The original Ancient One was a poor stereotype of a Tibetan person and Tilda Swinton is cool so I’m ok with this one.

    Liam Neeson is a great actor with a ton of gravitas and he pulled off the role well, but yeah shoulda found a middle eastern dude. Maybe that hot Djin dude from American Gods can be the next Ras Al Ghul.

    Anything to do with Scarlet Witch’s background is a retcon, she was originally introduced as Magneto’s moustache twirling daughter. Despite her tan in the referenced photo she’s more often depicted as white, but I could see her being middle eastern, but it would make sense that she’s half Jewish at least, given her father’s background.

    Lastly, she’s a fucking mermaid. Who gives a shit? How many of the dude bros bitching even watched it?

      They also chose to set the entire movie in the Caribbean because there’s not fuckin colorful tropical fish off the coast of Denmark, it’s not like they randomly made her black for no reason
