Shouldn't Lois Lane Really Have Been Black In This One?


I think it would have been a refreshing take for cinema audiences to see a more diverse relationship on screen, such as that between a white (Super)man and a black women.

We rarely see this portrayed and it would have been nice to see a more bold casting choice for Superman to go beyond the already done race swapping of Perry White...

Give us a logical reason for such a drastic change.

You can’t?

Of course not.

Explain again in English.

I'd wish they would change Perry White's last name at least. Perry Brown has a better ring to it. I feel too many times we only focus on racial diversity but we also need to pay attention to racial last name diversity as well

Given Woke films have been flopping I would say they saved themselves by minimising the die-versity.

reply

No, and that wouldn't be a new or refreshing take. They should come up with something different like Superman has a long lost black relative family who fled to a different plant during the destruction of Krypton.

reply

I would like to see her be Asian or Middle Eastern just to show a character doesn’t have to black to promote diversity

reply

Been there done that (Lois & Clark)

Then why can’t we have a black Superman?

reply

Fuck no!

Why?

There’s no logical reason to do that anymore than a black Perry White or a white Black Panther.

It doesn’t improve the story or draw a bigger crowd.

In what way is altering a characters genetic skin pigmentation at all refreshing. Wokes want people to believe that altering a characters ethnicity adds some new layers to characters. Because you know Perry White is so much more interesting now that his genetic skin pigmentation is a few shades darker. Race swapping is a boring woke gimmick that i wish would just end already.

It's a reminder that White Erasure and The Great Replacement aren't just a conspiracy theory.
