Shouldn't Lois Lane Really Have Been Black In This One?


I think it would have been a refreshing take for cinema audiences to see a more diverse relationship on screen, such as that between a white (Super)man and a black women.

We rarely see this portrayed and it would have been nice to see a more bold casting choice for Superman to go beyond the already done race swapping of Perry White...

once you go black you never go back

as such, such a heresy is too threatening, right my fellow whites? we shall not allow this to ever happen to our beloved characters. or we will type so hard in comments sections till our fingers bleed we can promise you THAT hollywood!!!1!

Give us a logical reason for such a drastic change.

You can’t?

Of course not.

reply

reason: to prove who is the master, and who is the slave

conclusion:
masters = those who create
slaves = those whiny peanut gallery nobodies/nothings

💩...🥤😶🍿

I'd wish they would change Perry White's last name at least. Perry Brown has a better ring to it. I feel too many times we only focus on racial diversity but we also need to pay attention to racial last name diversity as well

Given Woke films have been flopping I would say they saved themselves by minimising the die-versity.

reply

No, and that wouldn't be a new or refreshing take. They should come up with something different like Superman has a long lost black relative family who fled to a different plant during the destruction of Krypton.

reply

I would like to see her be Asian or Middle Eastern just to show a character doesn’t have to black to promote diversity

reply

Been there done that (Lois & Clark)

reply

Then why can’t we have a black Superman?

reply

Fuck no!

Why?

There’s no logical reason to do that anymore than a black Perry White or a white Black Panther.

It doesn’t improve the story or draw a bigger crowd.

In what way is altering a characters genetic skin pigmentation at all refreshing. Wokes want people to believe that altering a characters ethnicity adds some new layers to characters. Because you know Perry White is so much more interesting now that his genetic skin pigmentation is a few shades darker. Race swapping is a boring woke gimmick that i wish would just end already.

It's a reminder that White Erasure and The Great Replacement aren't just a conspiracy theory.
