Instead of mucking with the ethnic, and racial, makeup of The Fantastic Four... why not simply cast these four actors as some other super hero team. This is not The Fantastic Four... this is some crap from more know-it-all jerks who believe they know better than the core audience of the source material.
Look at what happened when Marvel/Disney screwed-up John Carter Warlord Of Mars by calling it simply John Carter, thus confusing the potential audience. Look at what Disney did to The Lone Ranger by turning the movie into an overblown hack mess!
How can I, a 55 year old Marvel fan with a 50 year extensive investment in The Marvel Universe pay my hard earned cash on a "Screw You Conventional Wisdom" bastardization of The Fantastic Four?
I will not... and neither should you. You should write Marvel/Disney a letter, on paper, and demand that the company treat the source material with respect.
What's next... a black Nick Fury? Oh, yea... Marvel already screwed with my respect for the brand by throwing that wrench into the continuity!
There are too many characters in The Marvel Universe for this kind of cross-breeding of the characters skin colors. Why make a white character black just to be gratuitous? It makes no sense to me.
Anyway, I bet the youth who are reading this missive think that I'm a crotchety old man telling the kids to get off the grass (something I have NEVER done, by the way.)
Hey, its just grass. Just don't break my windows on my house as you are playing on my grass.
