    Cool, coolcoolcool, now where’s the graphic with the IRL non-white people cast with whites.

    Because you wouldn’t be trying to peddle cherrypicked racist horseshit, noooo not your fragile ass.

    You may kiss my lilywhite one.

      Ohhhhh. I initially thought it was a joke about how Zendaya is cast in EVERYTHING, and was confused when I expanded the pic. It’d be funny if every character is shown cast as Zendaya.

      i cannot get over you guys calling me fragile while I get 10 replies from people pissing themselves about perceived racism

      where’s the graphic with the IRL non-white people cast with whites.

      this was not to do with skin colour but hair colour, hence the blog title “THE TRUTH ABOUT REDHEADED CHARACTERS BEING RECAST WITH BLACK ACTORS”

        Yet Black refers to skin color.

        You could easily have referred to redheaded characters being portrayed by non-readheaded white actors, like Mary Jane in the Raimi Spider-Man films and Jimmy Olsen in the latest Superman film. Why only point out when the replacement is Black?

          Charlie Cox as Matt Murdock is the only one that ever bothered me. Not a lot, since Charlie Cox is awesome.

          But there’s still tons of representation for redheaded women in the MCU, and there’s literally no representation for redheaded men. So any time someone makes these arguments and they don’t bring up Matt Murdock (which is literally 100% of the time), I know they’re full of shit.

        I didn’t think you were racist or pushing any agenda 🤷‍♀️

        Thinking about the article more, I wonder if it’s just difficult to find good redhead actors that fit the role. Red heads are pretty rare, I wonder how much that plays a role in this
