@dernman: Sorry to be the one to break this to you, but actors are paid to ACT.

Looks can be tweaked and in the best case scenario no one cares how you look if you do the job well.

Need I remind you:

"LOL he looks like a drag queen!" Movie comes out: "BEST JOKER EVER!!!"
"This sucks! BOND ISN'T BLOND!!!" Movie comes out: "Holy crap Casino Royale is AWESOME!!!"

Meanwhile if they went with his suggestion and casted this:

No Caption Provided

We can all be treated to yet another disaster of a Spidey flick because this chick most likely can't act her way out of a paper bag. Then Spidey's down in the dumps again while fanboys cry "But guys! It's like the comics! She has red hair! Why doesn't everyone else love what I love?"

I'd much rather take option A than B :P

Again bullshit. If nobody cared we wouldn't be having this conversation that's been had over and over and over when they cast people who don't look like the role.Yes actors are paid to act and looking the part is part of acting. I always hear this same bull response from people who defend this crap. Derp I'd rather have one over the other. derp. You can ignore one over the other. I'd rather have a higher standard and have as much of BOTH A and B as I can. THat way I'd actually get to see the character on screen and not a different character who just shares the name.

Don't mind me. Just stopped by to laugh at all the angry nerds.....

This. Mary Jane is very recognizable by her aesthetic. but besides the red hair, Mary Jane's character is 90% her personality. she's been out of the spotlight of movie's tv and comics for years now

her only notable appearances are as stark's secretary and maybe like 4 of 70 something episodes in the ultimate spider-man cartoon. this back lash is unwarranted. I hope Zendaya does the character justice and am interested to see what she brings to the table. Meanwhile this could mean the return of a better supporting role for original mj in the comics and tv show.

"laughing at angry nerds" just makes you guys look irrelevant. Backlash is unwarranted? Lol last time I checked Spider-man has more to him than just the ultimate Spider-man cartoon. Let's not forget the years upon years of comic book history, her appearance in the 90's animated series, and more. Mary Jane is iconic as a ginger..Not as some race changed black/mixed girl.

Zendaya won't do her justice anymore than Candice Patton is doing Iris West justice in The Flash. If we're going to change her skin color we may as well change her hair color too since why not? Why stop there..We should make her a guy too. It's dumb that people think good acting skill should allow someone who looks nothing like the character to play the role.

Are you really trying to say Zendaya won't do the role justice because she's half black? What?

He's saying that acting the part is only half the job. You have to also look the part. If you can't do both that you're not fulfilling the role.

Edit: Let me rephrase that. Looking like the character/role you're portraying is a part of acting. If you can't do that you're not fulfilling the role.

No, he's not. He specifically said that good acting skill is irrelevant compared to looking like the role.

Which is a load of crap and has been proven wrong multiple times before.

Bullshit. Nowhere did he say acting is irrelevant. He said it's dumb to think good acting skill means you can ignore looks and other characteristics. Which is true because despite how good they act if they're looking like something else then they're playing something else. Part of acting a role is looking the part.

I haven't come to the point where I'm willing to pay 400 for VR especially with so few games and we don't know how good they are.

Question can you play VR games without the VR?

@thatguywithheadphones: Sometimes I think the marriage would have worked if Storm had moved to Wakanda full time and left the X-men.

Or at least had an X-Team under her leadership based in Wakanda.
