I think were making this too much of a CAC vs black thing tbh. I fukks with Michael B Jordan. I think he is actually OVER qualified for this movie. That being said, I can understand why authenticity fanatics (regardless of race) would be mad over this. I couldn't care less cause I thibk MBJ can do no wrong, I thibk the Fantasic Four was in dire need of something different, and I'll never get mad at a black actor getting a role:whew:. But let's be real, if they ever did a Superman remake and Clark was Asian I'd look at it like ":patrice: the fukk is this". After years of whitewashing films I can't get mad at a little "black dyeing" (this term ain't gonna work :huhldup:) tho:lawd:

Yeah Fantastic Four is in dire need to be back at Marvel where they can do the movies properly that's the issue.

Here's the difference though, at least for me: Clark looking like "everyone else" is part of the character so him being the typical all american white male is not only a part of the character but a part of the disguise because no one suspects that this average looking white guy is anything but that.

After chronicles, I was like yeah he'd be a great bobby or HT... to bad he's black.


As iceman it wouldn't matter, and it'd be kinda cool if he was blue all the time then powered down and it was randomly him.:banderas: Human torch tho... He's in a group with his sister who both have that "pretty white american, white privilege thing going on" Its pretty much built into the characters. And its part of why I could never really get into the F4 outside of Doom, Reed and his shady ways and some of there villains.

Why are mufukkaz mad at MBJ?

The fukking DIRECTOR wanted him in the movie as Johnny Storm from working with him on Chronicle.

And he had legit reasons outside of him feeling like he's a good actor, he felt there were similarities between Johnny and the character he played in Chronicle and they're friends lol
