The FF are meant to be a family not a couple and their buddies, so this is stupid.
It's cute how people are trying to use the "Johnny being white isn't integral to his character" argument that they probably just saw on Reddit and are repeating in an attempt to look smart lol. They would be right if this movie was titled "The Human Torch" but it's not it's the "Fantastic Four". You know what is integral to the character? Being Sue's brother... so unless Sue is Black(which Hollywood wouldn't do) this is stupid.
Or you know, there are families with adopted children. One or both Storms could be adopted. Maybe you should take a look at some modern families.
Did you actually think I didn't think of adoption? Or do you think that it changes anything I said?
Then how are a brother and sister not related? Especially if they were both adopted at birth?
Just thinking about the typical american movie goer and way people think in general I don't see most people perceiving the FF as a real family dynamic when Sue's brother is black. Even if he's adopted or she's adopted people won't really see it as a family, and because there hasn't been an FF movie in a while I'm sure this movie will set an impression of the FF for a lot of people and that's just overall harmful to the series.
And I mean I know that's a littler presumptuous about other people being "racist" but you have to understand usually when people cast for anything they think about this kind of psychology, so I'm assuming they're just being more racist thinking adding a black guy will make the FF more hip and modern, because otherwise it's kind of an irresponsible franchises choice.
