"Deadpool" Domino first-look salt - REEEE SHE'S BLACK REEEE

[The Iconoclast]

Domino is an evidently not-very-well-known character from Marvel who is closely affiliated with Deadpool.

The new first look at her in the Deadpool sequel has comic book fans having a fucking fit (as they usually do when a character's race/gender/sexual orientation is changed), whether their argument is "REEE SHE'S BLACK" or "REEE WHITE PEOPLE ARE SALTY"

So... Thoughts, I guess?

Lol comics are for gay faggots

Didn't this exact thing happen with Spider-Man: Homecoming? And the girl didn't end up being Mary Jane anyway.

It could be funny, though I notice it's always black people when these race changes occur. You never see characters being changed to asian or latinos or anything else.

Yeah, I (and a lot of other people, I'm sure) have noticed that comic fans will throw huge bitchfits when they find out that a character isn't white/straight/sometimes male (apologies for sounding SJW-ish).

It happened with "MJ", it happened with Doctor Who, it happened with Beauty and the Beast.

I don't typically take sides, I just love to laugh at the lengths that some comic book nerds go to to try and prove that they're totally not bigots, and at the people who are like "Ahahaha white tears".

Yeah, a lot of times I'll see more "lol make tears" than I'll see people actually complaining about the thing. Both groups are idiots about it.

The movies are cool, but expecting them to be exactly like the comics is stupid. Who cares? If the writing is good and the actress doesn't suck then it's no big deal. This is getting old. You don't have to give Marvel or Disney money if you don't want to.

 

[Vorhtbame]

Ah, I think I see the problem. IIRC, Domino's skin in the comics isn't Caucasian white; it's gray-white, tied to her mutation. This would be like making Nightcrawler Caucasian-white instead of blue.

Not a big deal to me, but I'm not a fan of the comic line or character.

They should have emphasized the white face paint better. She looks kinda like a generic black character. I mean this sounds spergy, but they really should have made her look more distinct considering the cast in the first movie had a guy with cancer in a red suit, bald goth chick, and a gigantic metal man. As far as race goes, I think it is naive to think that this isn't some new Hollywood practice that will go away soon.

It does happen in the comics. I'm pretty sure the current Hulk is Asian. It's just that black people seem to dominate all of these sorts of controversies when it comes to movies and TV. Oscars So White wasn't trying to promote Asian or Latin cinema. It was to complain there weren't more black people nominated.

There was a rare case a few days ago of the opposite happening. The Punisher is becoming War Machine in the comics and Neogaf, naturally, reeeed about it. Because it's just a comic, I don't think it got to woke black Twitter.

Just wait until their is racial dialogue between the two and watch the salt

Better then. I notice Asians or Latinos in the Arts community who don't immigrate to the USA or Europe don't spend all their time complaining about lack of representation or how racist their society is and how their movies will "change" that. It's like they make their all-asian/latin cast movies (and spoilers, they even sometimes cast blacks and whites too! Gasp!) and are done with their lives.

Death Note and Ghost in the Shell have shown that Asian Americans will chimp out over this stuff too.

 

[What a moron]

At this point, I don't even care about the forced diversity stuff.

The collective butthurt from all of the autists makes it well worth it.

Weren't most of the people upset about that actually white? And actual asian people were like "What, who cares?" Or did I remember that wrong.

 

[ShittyRecolor]

It might look a tad jarring considering how comic-accurate Deadpool himself looks, not to mention how they could've used an actual black female character closely associated with the Merc with a Mouth like Emily Preston, but I don't care as long as the movie's at least as good as its predecessor. I just hope they're not going to turn Wade into a neutered SJW mouthpiece like he is in some of his recent comic book appearances. I can only stomach so much of Deadpool lecturing friendzoned neckbeards about consent or fawning over how smol and adorbs X-2... I mean, Wolverine's clone sister is instead of being the irreverent psychopath with occasional fits of heroism we love him for.

People from Asia don't care. Asian Americans did, boosted by the white guilt crowd.

cant wait for this epic hollywood spectacular featuring my favorite a list actors, cant wait for the thrillride of the summer, sure to be a popcorn classic!!

 

[ConcernedAnon]

Call it cynical, but one can't help but imagine given the current political climate, that this casting choice was not solely based on the actress's merits. Hopefully though, regardless of any ulterior motives which might be at play, the movie will be good, and the internet will be salty.

To use a quote of Ian Fleming I totally did not just look up on Wikipedia: Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. The third time it’s enemy action.
