Hell nah, bruh. shyt's looking dead on arrival. This dude is supposed to be some creepy, pale, vampire-looking mf with greasy hair. How the fukk are you gonna make Snape of all characters Black? Not only that, they're gonna have this simp pining for decades over some PAWG who rejected his ass for the white boy who bullied him. Man, what the fukk is HBO thinking? :hhh::hhh:

:mjpls: the black man can't be white, you say? :sas1:

ARE WE NOT FREE? MY BROTHA? :mjpls:

sometimes i think these executives are purposely choosing black people for these famous white roles so they can get shytted on. don't know how they benefit from it but they can't be this tone deaf

i'll watch if it's interesting though


It's money, black breh don't give a damn.

Lol, man who fukking cares???

It’s fictional. Give the best actor the job. Anything else is Didn’t Earn It.
Because the character is not a Black man

Just like James Bond is not a Black man

Just like T'Challa is not a white man and Storm is not a white woman

All fictional characters

Thinking like that is stupid. Why not go all out then. Make lara croft a bbw bulldyke.

Make harry potter a midget with pink hair. Its fictional right.

Just respect the source material. I wonder how many nighas would be upset shaft being played by a gay white man …

Love the job he does on Gangs of London. Now do I think this a setup, yes. Everything is about rage bait and engagement these days. If they got someone who fit the role, looks wise, no one would really say anything. They trying to create buzz.

Isn’t that character supposed to be a pale sickly looking person with a hooked nose and greasy hair. He is supposed to look sneaky like a snake.

Him looking the way he does plays a part into why Harry’s mom didn’t choose him and he hates Harry’s dad.

I don’t like changing a characters race when their looks play a part in the character.

There are plenty of other wizards you can race swap without issue. Snape isn’t one of them.

:snoop:Why not set this show in another school in the Harry Potter universe? Hogwarts isn’t the only wizard school in the HP universe. They be setting black actors and actresses up doing this bs. Stop race swapping iconic characters. We’re missing out on new and original black characters. Because of lazy casting smh… Wishing nothing but the best for bruh tho.
Hollywood has no new ideas. See star wars

Those characters are literally african :skip:
And James Bond is half Swiss and half Scottish

It don't get whiter than that

This is is good though, hopefully this tanks the show.

I am 100% not in favor of race swapping or gender swapping fictional characters.

It's pandering bullshyt and deserves all the negative backlash
And Jesus wasn't white but google search and what do the results look like

/thread
You're confusing me for someone who gives a remote fukk of what color Jesus is but good try on appealing to my Blackness through religion.
