Ok but that was the book. GRRM shouldn’t have approved the race swap especially since he described them in great detail. If they were so hard pressed to have black people make up a show around the Summer Isles. The whole “needs to reflect the modern world” is such an idiotic explanation and shows you have no creativity. Make your own show with all the diversity you want.
Dude, a fantasy show about various African folklore would be great and probably sell like hot cakes but the studios know they'll get more views by race-swapping established lore and characters. It's honestly kind of sad.
The fact they haven't done it tells you they don't think it would do well. Black panther only killed it because it was shoehorned into an existing cinematic universe which at the time, if you missed a movie meant you wouldn't get something in another flick. As a standalone movie BP would never have done well commercially and everyone knows it.
