They need to stop with this ish. Just say NO to these stupid ideas. Let Prof X and Magneto be as they are. I hate race/gender bending. Just create new characters even if they're similar in theme...Firestar for Torch, Carnage as a non-replacement for Venom, Spyke in X-Men: Evolution, hell, X-23 or Chloe Sullivan.
I wouldn’t give a fukk if it’s written well, and not some lazy ass cash grab. Most race swaps are the latter, not former.
When Samuel L became Nick Fury, he crushed the shyt. Even in Blade with Whistler (forgot how his names spelled), Kris Kristopherson held it down.
I would have preferred the original concept but it got the movie made.
I think the new Blade will go back to a black Whistler.
Whistler was created by David Goyer, and used by the Spider-Man TV show before the move came out. He was never black. Blade had another mentor prior to that, that was black, but it wasn't Whistler
And Samuel L Nick Fury is a completely different character than the old white Fury. Funny, that him (even though technically, it's now a different character), Miles & to a lower extent, The Maker are the only surviving mainstays from Ultimate Marvel, where they were free to make any changes they wanted.
