randomthoughts...not at the cost of other cultures and ethnicities. Makes me feel like you would change the race/ethnicity of a character in a reboot or movie adaptation of an established IP just to pander to something that isn't exactly a positive look into diversity itself, and more like gaining profits from the viewers who would buy into such pretentious actions.
To me, it makes every other reboot, remake, or adaptation seem less enjoyable and pretentious on itself, especially if said shows/movies are from old ones which I enjoyed prior.
And I'm not against diversity overall. I'm also part of a minority in the US, so of course I am very interested and invested into adding different people and nationalities into such things. But as stated, not when the reason behind it feels like petty pandering just to extract as much money as the entertainment industry wishes to collect, rather than taking steps into making their projects truly diverse.
My two cents.
