The black girl wasn't in the original book. More forced diversity from Hollywood.
They created an unnecessary character and drastically altered the story for diversity points and it just makes the movie dumber.

shareI never read the book, but I can't possibly see how her character is a problem.
shareHer character is a "problem" because she was completely unnecessary to the story. The main protagonist "Hero Boy" does everything in the book just fine himself. In the movie, the black girl becomes something like a guide to him, seemingly knowing more than him and pushing the story along. She was created purely for female/black diversity points.

It's a 32 page kids book that was made into a movie. Of course they are going to add to the story along with additional characters. Her character was harmless.
