Yeah the reaction to this is basically what you'd expect
>"Hellboy' reboot casts Ed Skrein, prompts backlash over 'whitewashing'

Honestly most of the people bitching probably don't even read the comics in the first place

So they race swapped Alice to black and Daimo to white. I guess his backstory of his ancestor being the mystical asian woman won't come up.

>>94863439
Probably which is weird considering his heritage plays a part on the story

>>94863030
They can't afford a better actor?

>>94863542
He is probably not going to be a werejaguar instead he is just going to be a wendigo.
I get the feeling this Hellboy is going to simplified af, but if it works then good.

Can we trade the black Alice for an asian Ben and call it even?

Why is Hollywood's idea of diversity adding more blacks but screwing over Asians?

>>94863903
Nah, because Alice is barely a character and middle age gingers are disgusting.

>>94863963
I dunno vato, tell me why they always go black by default?

>it's okay when blacks do it

>>94864075
You do realise you are on a board with two threads full of idiots bitching about Starfire being black on whatever shitty tv show they are making and this thread has been like an hour and has not even reached twenty posts?

>>94863030
When will the white man strike back at the heart of this evil?
