Honestly this wasn't that bad.
Mostly complaining about the choices the makers of the movie made with characters he created. Not totally unreasonable.
It's more of him complaining of the intrinsic physical characteristics of the actors than the actual content of the film. Talking about how dark a person's skin should be rather than the actual character traits. He has some other identity politics stuff on there too before the physical appearances rant.
I agree. I think he's reading too much into Roberto and not enough into Rahne - Sunspot looks like a walking black hole anyway so his manner of speech is more important than his skin tone - but he's justifiably annoyed if his characters aren't recognisable as his characters.
