      Ive got problems with gender/raceswapping for pure pandering reasons. If its at least brought up in the plot (doctor who can be who s/he likes, Miles Morales is a different spiderman etc) its fine.

      I mean I usually don’t actually care, but the concept does get a strong eye roll.

        For many characters the race does not matter - luckily - because they experience stuff everyone can experience. I think it is logical to change “unimportant” aspects of a character, if it helps production.

          Depends how realistic and “this is happening in our dimension of reality at this specific time” it is i guess. Maybe there wouldn’t be any reason to question why the founding fathers of America in a realistic gritty drama would be black women.

        Same, I was really happy when in the newer Spider-Man movies they revealed MJ didn’t stand for Mary Jane and she was in fact a different character.
