Who gives two shits of the colours of fantasy characters if they're acted out well.
If they're acted out bad they are a shit actor and the company made piss poor decisions to hire shit actors or push a storyline that is trash. Was it for diversity purposes they selected bad actors, maybe, maybe not. Regardless , if its bad its bad, if its good its good.
Wheel of time - Great example of potentially tossing in horrible additional storyline and bad actors to push diversity or something. Ruined the entire show because the actors aside from Rosamund Pike.
The Witcher- The show is overall trash due to other reasons, but they killed Triss from her books because shes a bad actor, not because shes black, shes just straight up a wet paper bag.
I don't care if those characters are black or not and neither does the mass viewer base.
If you think the mass viewer base even read the books to have created a character already in their imagination you're delusional. The ones who are crying most about the shows probably did because we already had an entire world built in our heads off the book set and the show differs so we're displeased from our little fantasy world we build. Just like I am with the Witcher. But we are certainly not the majority of viewers.
agreed on all except the witcher, which i find to be a great adaptation of the books.
