There is literally no point in having opinions on a character of a TV series you have not yet seen (nobody has) before seeing his performance.
Haven’t we learnt anything from history?
People thought HEATH FUCKING LEDGER would have been an awful joker cause “he is cowboy who like doods he cannot play edgy joker”
How did that turn out?
Oh but people don’t think that the actor is bad they just don’t want him cause he is black while in the books he is white!!!
Ok but so was Nick Fury in the comics?
Stormfront from the Boys was a dude in the comics as well and the gender swap in the series was incredible.
These things have always happened in media. It’s absolutely fine
“Yeah but now the james potter bullying him will make it a story about racism!!”
Why would you suppose that?
It’s not like every single story with a black man has to be about racism
Is it unimaginable that James is a bully and not a racist?
So weird. Just wait for the show to come out. If the actor is shit he is shit. If he is good he is good . But all the people getting offended are absolute snowflakes
