That is always a red flag for me. There is no other reason for race swapping than some woke nonsense. Back in the day race swaps were few and far between but now it’s just nauseating. Why not pick a black character, woman, or other minority from the source material instead of changing established ones.
You know why.
They're terrible writers, and anyway, it's not about the film, it's about the message.
They can't get mass circulation for the new stuff they write because they can't write compelling characters. They only know how to write NPCs like themselves.
The message is: You have already lost. This is us stamping everything you even like into the ground simply because you like it.
Just because that message is asserted vehemently it does not make it true. Personally, I think they've played their hand too early, but then "zealot" and "patience" rarely fit in the same sentence.
Great points.
