Question. Why does the suit fit her? Unless they change sizes because aren't they built to a custom fit for a specific person?
Honestly I'm okay with it, Domino was very rarely out of makeup anyway, and all things considered the Marvel multiverse makes this kind of change not only reasonable, but gives the ability to cast the role with anyone who fits the character regardless of race etc... There are a few exceptions of course, You could cast Gambit as something other than a Cajun, but it'd have to be one of those complete departures, like the X-men Ronin where they've all been given some Japanese anime themed attributes. Though even I'll admit a Jamaican Gambit might be amusing beyond reason.
Channing Tatum currently has the contract for gambit through a license purchased for making the movie. Just let that sink in.
Albino the color. She wasn't actually albino or her hair would also be white and her eyes red. But if it was just makeup, why the hell couldn't a multimillion dollar movie arse up the friggen energy to slap some makeup on her? You're debating a losing battle here. Especially trying to argue it's fine here to have a character look completely different but not have an actor be a different ethnic group as a character. You're arguing against your own argument here...
Yeah, but at this point, it's turning into a pretty constant pattern. When you start doing it to every character, the novelty has worn off.
I don’t understand why they can’t make a new character instead of picking a existing one and then changing them to fill a check box. This has been the entire problem with marvel comics right now. Taking existing characters and changing them to fill LGBT and race check box’s instead of making new characters. They did this with iceman. Jean grey/Phoenix literally messed with icemans brain and forced him to be gay. In the actual comics
Cause existing characters are more marketable and more of a guaranteed cash cow. New characters means taking chances. People might not like them :gasps in horror:
no, you're simply missing the point entirely, but it's fine. Albino isn't really a color, it's a condition caused by a lack of pigment in the skin, sometimes eyes and hair too. Tatum is an actor, this actually is the point, if he takes the effort to play the -character- it doesn't matter what his personal nationality is. Which is why the first attempt at Gambit was such a complete failure. This is incredibly offensive, I'm going to assume you meant it in a humorous light. Acadiana may have had French roots, but is no more French than the rest of Americans are British, Irish, German or whatever other nationalities they fled the persecution thereof. They are in fact about as American as anything else our nation can claim and our predilection for spicy food probably celebrates the escape from traditional European blandness. That and peppers grow pretty good in the swamp. Hollywood has done an awful job of depicting Cajuns because, typically, they want the ones who stand out the most.
he is at least willing to put forth the effort, whether he is capable of pulling it off remains to be seen.
The thing is, Riri Williams would make an amazing character. If they were allowed to make her a villian. Seriously, they could redeem a lot of bad writing if they revealed that everyone pandering to her insane selfish narcissism was them trying to keep her from turning into a villian. Obviously it's failing though. She's already pretty far into villian territory.
