They would if their collective insanity was only at 2014 levels. In 2017 not only do they have to leave her original skin color in tact, but they have to human-sacrifice a stuntwoman for the religious cause.

It's going to suck regardless because Teen Titans only has 3 plots. Raven goes demon and rapes everyone, Terra shows up and betrays them, then everyone dies and they do a reboot. Who the fuck cares.

At least Raven was cast decently.
Now watch them bring out Damian instead of Dick. Starfire's actress looks already to be much older than Raven's (who is actually 14-15)

Diversity had nothing to do with the poor woman's death. It was Fox being shit and instead of going with any stunt driver they wanted one that was a woman to fit the Domino actress. It was pure incompetence from their part.

> I want adaptations to be as true to the source material as anyone else,

Then you agree changing the characters hurts an adaptation then?

>but I'm not so buttblasted I'll blame the whole thing being shit on one actor.

Changing a character's race requires that the character to be changed, and people want to see the characters they like from comics and cartoons be represented as they were intended. They don't want to watch some diversity experiment for political brownie points you nu-male fag.

>In the middle column, I listed the Titans I knew would be members. I had already come up with Cyborg, so he's listed, as well as Robin, Wonder Girl, Kid Flash and Changeling (I'd already changed his name from Beast Boy). If you can make it out, next to Kid Flash's name I wrote in, and then whited out, "new name?" I wanted to make Wally West his own man and not a junior version of Flash. Heck, even Robin had his own name. He wasn't Batboy or Kid Bat. I don't know why I never did change his name, but that was my original intent. Perhaps the fact that it's whited out means I dropped the idea pretty quickly. Remember, this was 23 years ago.

>You can see I typed Starfire's name later on down the list, once I decided to use her, but I left room for other possible characters above her, in case I preferred them instead. Much later on I wrote in the name Raven. If you look at the column to the right, Raven is listed under General Names with the notation "A black?"

>I was trying to decide if there should be two black characters in the Titans, which was unheard of at the time. But I felt if there was another black character in the group, besides Cyborg, his or her name should not reflect the color of their skin.You don't see White Superman or White Green Lantern, and such, so why should a black character be defined by skin color instead of who he or she is. At that time in comics, of course, using the word Black before a name to indicate the color of skin was being done a lot: Black Goliath. Black Lightning. Black Panther. Etc. I reacted against the sterotype and decided though I was going to use the name Raven, she would not be black.

To translate from either frothing rage or stupidity;

The position is that death of the SJ Harris while working on Deadpool 2 was because Fox went with a rookie and unqualified stuntwoman under less than perfect safety conditions. The reasoning goes, then, that they went with Harris over a more experienced stunt rider was because they wanted to give the job to a black woman rather than using makeup or wardrobe to make a more experienced white stuntwoman appear black. To quote vanity fair;

>https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2017/08/deadpool-2-joi-harris-stunt-response
>“It absolutely could have been prevented,” the source said. “Joi was totally unqualified and never should have been there or put in that position . . . Joi had never been in a film or done any sort of stunt. She was just a girl from Brooklyn who liked to road race—which was not remotely similar to what was required for the shots. She didn’t have the experience or skills for the job they brought her in for.”

if she will be orange it will be perfect.

The stunt community itself is voicing concern that Harris was hired because of her skin tone.

>http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/deadpool-2-motorcycle-death-leaves-stunt-community-asking-tough-questions-1030044
>The Deadpool 2 production was her very first job on a movie set. Several stunt people say her skills on the racetrack notwithstanding, the stunt work on Monday called for a professional stunt worker. Harris, they worry, was given the job less due to her professional riding chops and more because as a body double, her skin tone was a closer match with actress Zazie Beetz, who plays Domino in the film.
>One veteran stuntperson familiar with the production claims Harris’ death is especially disconcerting because another professional stunt woman was available. Melissa Stubbs, who has more than 200 IMDb credits and was was Margot Robbie's double for motorcycle stunts in Suicide Squad, wasn’t a match but had long experience riding motorcycles on productions. “She was willing to do the job,” says that stuntperson.

With another more qualified stuntwoman available and a dangerous stunt with less than ideal safety conditions they went with an unqualified motorcycle racer rather than a professional. What possible reasonable reason is there for Harris' hiring other than her comparative physical similarity to Beetz?

It is a problem in Hollywood that there's not any trained stuntwomen of color, but that's a problem that starts being solved now and actually comes to fruition in several years by attracting appropriate talent and training them. Taking a street track racer with no prior experience and sticking her without a helmet on a movie set isn't the way to do that.

No that's racist

The only thing i wanted from starfires actor was for her to be youthful, this woman looks in her 30's and is pretty ugly desu. There are prettier blacj woman that could have taken the role, at least someone younger

So then they could have hired a Hispanic person if that was the case, even a white person could get that tan. Jesus fuck, just make Domino look like Domino then maybe no one would have died because of PC thinking.

Holy hell, if you wanna be diverse, just get a fucking Latina girl. A latina girl is actually MORE perfect to play as Starfire than a black or even a white girl with a tan. Pic related is a latina is an absolute perfect fit to play Starfire.

Jesus christ, why does everyone think that plopping a black person into the cast makes it diverse? What about latinas and latinos? Are they just gonna be forever typecasted into Danny Trejo, Latina eyecandy, or typical mexican gangster #4000?
>>
>>95066948

Latinos and Latinas don't cry as loud as Black people do, so they get less representation.

And you're right. Latina Starfire would be ideal.

Black people don't cry loud either, it's white people who cry for them.

I mean, all I'm saying is that I never see Latino Lives Matter riot and destroy cities every time some hoodlum gets shot, and I never see Latinos go on a social media rampage whenever an actual Egyptian plays an Egyptian in a movie about Egyptians.

Cares are that she is orange, so her race in a live action movie is irrelevant, as long as they paint her orange.

Folks complain about casting all the time. I'm pretty sure people complained about Heath Leger being the Joker, this isn't any different. There's a chance she'll be an okay as Starfire, but I've never seen her act in anything.

>While fans of the Teen Titans comic and animated series are greatly familiar with Starfire (aka Koriand’r), for anyone who’s new to the character, she’s described as an alien princess from a warrior planet who seeks asylum on Earth. A no-nonsense, take-no-prisoners stranger on our world, Starfire has the ability to shoot energy bolts and fly. Searching for her place on Earth, she’ll come into contact with the Titans.

How can she even be "black" if she's an alien? That means different genetics altogether, it wouldn't be the same representation of genes that gets called "black" in humans.

It just proves these people have a shallow and self-serving concept of race and biology in the first place. It's obviously for political reasons and to say "sexually attractive character is MY RACE so FIND ME SEXUALLY ATTRACTIVE NOW!"

Fucking normies I swear.

She's an evolved alien cat. Are you willing to tell me white women look like cats? By the way, there are black women with "whiter" facial features, even in West Africa, Diop just stands out because she's from Senegal.
>>
>>95070556
Your entire argument applies to whiteness as well, so they're screwed no matter what.
Hell, Starfire's evolved from cats. So really a cat is fine too.

I wonder if they casted a black woman because they wanted to create a similar character to Hawkgirl because on Legends of Tomorrow and the Super Hero girls show they've made her black and at brown skinned if not having black ancestry on that cartoon show. They also have some similarity in backgrounds. Maybe they want to set up a possible black woman superhero so they are using these two as possibilities.

Although they still have Bumblebee and Catwoman (not traditionally a hero however) and some others who have been portrayed as black at least once before.
>>
>>95068499
then why are you here faggot?

>>95072994
probably to peak at the freakshow like I am
>>
>>95066948


Girls with black hair that aren't of mostly black ancestry (regardless if they are white, mestizo, middle eastern, or asian) are expected to be particularly fond of Wonder Women. There are some advantages for marketing products if you try to get a bunch of groups to want to get products of one character.

http://variety.com/2013/film/news/batman-superman-1200665552/

Based on the cartoon characters that I guess the creators and/or marketers will expect some of the viewers to be especially fond of at least partly due to their appearance:
Girls with red hair: Batgirl, Poison Ivy, Starfire
Girls with blonde hair: Supergirl and Harley Quinn
Girls with brown hair: Batgirl? (hair is brownish-orange IMO in the cartoon show)
Girls with black ancestry and other girls with light brown or dark brown skin: Bumblebee and Hawkgirl
>>
>>95062052
In the world where blacks NOT being cast is always due to racism, that is what you get.
>>
>>95067766
But why?
>>
>>95060377
>>95060576

I think everyone knows that race bending characters isn't the problem here because whenever a non-white character gets race bended into a white one, white people don't really give a fuck.

>>95060377

Why do you have to be such a dick? Not every single decision that a series tries to do is meant to wholly redefine the character. If you assholes would ever to bother to read comics in the first place, there are at least A THOUSAND iterations of everyone's favorite characters. This whole thing is a non-issue with cunts looking for any example to affirm their biases and agendas.

I'm so sick of this conversation.

That only happens with anime characters, and weebs sure as fuck care.

Well maybe we should stop having it about Valkyrie and Starfire and Jimmy Olsen and Heimdall and Domino and 'MJ' and the Wests and Johnny Storm and Mordo and Deadshot and Hank Henshaw. We wouldn't have this conversation if they weren't racebent into blacks every single time. Not hispanic or asian or arab, it's *always* blacks because Hollywood liberals see black people as so fucking pathetic that they desperately need a leg up wherever they can get it. Don't try and pretend that this was "the best actor for the role" because if this was the case then we'd be seeing a bunch of Bollywood stars or some bullshit.
