I mean, fuck, I hate complaining when creators add more diversity into their work.
But seriously! The most outright heroic characters stay as is, the more morally grey ones become female/of Color? Very uncomfortable!
And the thing is, if it fails, people will say "oh, it failed because of diversity, better make it all straight white men in the next one" so morally I feel like I have to support it.
I really wish they'd just... taken those actors and that money and made a totally new fantasy franchise. That would've been really cool!
