But keep pearl-clutching about how it's not canon for her to be anything but white.

thanks for the history lesson, still doesn't change the fact that's not the April 99.9% of 30+ years olds know or quite literally care about.

i knew it was from a comic book but i sure as fuck didn't read any of them.

i'm not even mad anymore tbh, like i get it. it's a business and they are targeting a different demographic. i can't get mad every time they take something from my childhood and ruin it.

i wasn't alive for new hope and empire strikes back, "my" star wars were the stupid prequels that sucked. but as i got older i realized my star wars blew and even return of the jedi was about stupid teddy bears and sucked also.

idk my point is i think the non weirdo kids are gonna be fine and will watch decent movies eventually.

thanks for coming to my ted talk
(lol)

Not even a smart business decision if we’re using his past mini-series (sorry I called it a movie before, Santa Inc was a mini series) as an example of what might be coming

And of course after this new one bombs like his last dumpster fire did, he’ll go blaming the evil white nazis for giving bad material bad reviews

I wouldn’t expect much more from the guy who literally bragged about how many times he got robbed in LA. “You can be mad about being robbed, but I’m not because I’m a rich woke douchebag lol”
