re: Hollywood replacing white people in true stories with black actors

Looks aside it's a fricking fictional story.

You realize Verona is a real place, right? Being it's a real place, the characters have typically made sense. And if they haven't, the setting or the whole tone of the film is changed. Which is fine. The Romeo and Juliet with Leonardo DiCaprio in it did that and it was fine. Shakespeare adaptations are numerous and that's fine. Hell they could make an all black R&J (I'm sure they have) and no one would bat an eye.


What's not fine is to take a character, described as radiant and fair, and do her dirty like that. Romeo is smitten with her, as are others. (Also she's like 14 which is...errr. But it was a different time)

nothing about that actress says Juliet. She's got a damn moustache. Maybe they were thinking of going full Shakespeare and thought they were casting a man.

It's really just...inexplicable. It's less her hue and more her...head.

Progs inject The Message into everything. It has resulted in massive losses and diminished IPs, but they still do it. Over and over and over. The Message is clearly of utmost important to leftist Hollywood—they make no secret about it—yet anytime someone on a message board says “hey, maybe a medieval Viking chieftain ought not be played by a black woman, it’s “ZOMG why do you even care it doesn’t matter and it’s all fiction and faux outrage!!”

Message board chatter is not “outrage” and wokeness IS important to Hollywood and it’s not relegated to only fiction.

The only true “outrage” comes from your people. Y’all start looting and burning anytime one of your precious trash criminals get shot by a cop.
