We could go in circles for days. Obviously y’all think Boseman was ACTUALLY T’Challa or something I brought up the white superheroes to say that they get recasted all the time, Spider Man had 3 actors from 2006 - 2016, Batman will have had 3 since 2012 when Pattinson’s movie drops.
And yes while no one died, y’all being so eager to let them kill off the character for the next 10-15 years (or until MCU restarts) just because they can replace him with another token black character [meanwhile they’d never kill off Peter Parker or Bruce Wayne regardless of circumstance] speaks to the logic of how loosely valued our characters are versus “theirs”. Little black boys dont “need” T’Challa when there’s *other black character who was a side character or afterthought until Bro died*...Superman or Batman would never get that treatment lol you’d never say make a movie about Gotham/Metropolis and Batgirl or Supergirl because the actor who played Bruce Wayne etc dies, “kids can look up to them just the same”
Also there is arguably precedent with this with Christopher Reeves accident and the late 90’s Nic Cage Kevin Smith Superman movie they almost did. They were planning a Superman V and he got paralyzed and while of course it was ****ed up Clark Kent wasn’t gonna stop being portrayed with Reeves.
none of these are in the same universe
Joel Schumacher was the only director to even work with different actors as Batman.. and who knows what actually was going on with those
hulk is the only major character to be recast in the same universe and that was phase 1 and the actor was a pain and the movie was just OK.. even the hulk itself changed drastically from that movie and avengers
