I was excited until I read

We are looking at few caucasian actresses as well women of color to play She-Ra,

I hope it's not live action or it'll be over before it started. Live actions are always bad but giving He-Man a black twin.......They need to learn from Fantastic Four.

Make it Elizabeth Olsen and it'd be Good to go.

I think Arnold would be great for her part.

having sue and johnny be adopted siblings had nothing to do on why f4 was such a horrible movie.

The premise contributed.

Not in the slightest, being white (heritage) has nothing to do with the character of johnny storm

With the success of Wonder Woman i dont find this surprising

But i bet they will go down the He-man route and make her appear in modern day Earth!

Who cares about She-ra ? They should give skeletor his own movie Nyaaah.

I've always found her and her show so much more compelling than He-Man's. Skeletor and his minions got nothin' on Hordak and his group.

Nah. She was just lame knock off. He-man was always better and just way more fab. She-ra was pretender try harding the image of strong woman. He-man taught us that man can have hair like him and still stand pround. Also skeletor is by far the best. Noone even remembers the guy from she-ra.

They rewrote his ties to her to excuse his heritage.

Her healing powers, friends, and sword changing abilities were awesome.......but Orko > everyone.

"as well women of color to play She-Ra"



so fucking sick of this bullshit.

don't make a goddamned movie of something unless you intend to stick to the source material.

[Dhrizzle]

Netflix (UK) has about 60 episodes each of He-Man and She-Ra and I've watched them pretty recently. I have to agree with Dextersmith that She-Ra is a lot more interesting (both the character and the series,) her foes have more to do (most episodes of He-Man ignore Skeletor in favour of a random wizard or mysterious artefact,) and even the animation quality is a couple of notches higher. My biggest gripes with She-Ra are Catra (who's voice actor is great at what she does, but what she does is really annoying) and Loo-Kee (the little...thing that gives out the morals SJW conditioning at the end.)

Out of interest, how many people upset about the possibility of a non-white actress playing She-Ra also object to positive discrimination/affirmative action?

for me, it's not the race, it's the same hate i had for the warcraft movie, for most movie adaptations.

not following the source material to a tee. warcraft? slap any other name on it, and it'd work, it doesn't follow the lore, so what is even the point? same shit here. if you change the race of she-ra, might as well not even make the movie about she-ra, but some other random hero chick.

Compare Evil-Lyn to Shadow Weaver, you can't.

Positive discrimination is still discrimination, it's not positive for those who lose out. Affirmative action throws hard work and merit out the window, it pities the undeserving and denies the capable. Catering to the entitled makes you operate at self inflicted crippling capacities.

It was part of the problem, if they wanted a black johnny storm they should of went with a black sue also to keep them as true brother/sister and not destroy the lore. Then look at the actors, Johnny Storm who is supposed to be the youngest of them looks the oldest.

Hope they don't make this shit at all the cartoon was terrible.

Fantastic Four sucked because of script not cause whiney racist nerds lost their shit over casting.

When you author the source matterial you can dictate terms. Your objections don't make it trash.

If u want the source material then go read/watch the source material.

Not everyone wants a 1:1 adaptation and it can be a good movie and not be 1:1.

Whenever I see discussions like this I always think back to the 1989 Batman movie. Billy Dee Williams(a black man) played Harvey Dent(a white man in the comics). No one raised a fist. No one protested. In fact, no one cared! Part of the reason is there wasn't an agenda behind it, and social media wasn't around(it's a cancer these days).

From what I see these days, when they change a characters race/gender it's done so with an agenda. If it was done in a natural way like person A dies so person B takes up the mantel, there would be less bitching and it wouldn't feel forced on people.

Nobody gave fuck because man babies that played video games all day didn't populate so much of the country. Hardly any movies strictly follow source material. It's an issue now because some make it one.
