Yessir.
People would know Cap from JLU.
Also, Daredevil sucked anyway.
And what your saying is race doesn't matter because Cap is a lesser known character, if people go see this movie then they'll probably pick up some Cap back issues and then people will be like WTF! This isn't the Rock! Black Adam is the Rock.
How many people that make up the general audience watches JLU?
Daredevil sucking makes no relevance to how MCD's portrayal of The Kingpin.
You meant to say Mary Marvel is the Booster Gold of Countdown, right?
Remember what happened the last time they changed the race of a superhero? We got Catwoman, the greatest superhero film ever made. It's a shame we'll never get a sequel.
While we're at it, lets cast Rip Taylor as the Wizard Shazam, Nicolas Cage as Doctor Sivana, and Ben Stiller as Freddie Freeman and we can use the Lincoln Memorial as the Rock of Eternity. Let's just make the whole thing a comedy while we're at it. It'll be as great as the Jack Black version of Green Lantern.
It's gonna be a masterpiece.
Very petty comment. That has no relevance towards how the movie is going to be in terms of quality.
Catwoman sucking is based solely on WB, what they saw in the (very terrible) director, and the awful plot. It shouldn't have been a new Catwoman. It should've been Selina Kyle in Gotham, but it wasn't, and Halle Berry's race had nothing to do with it.
No, what you just said just what people who have no real argument say in a situation like this. Simply talking about matters of race doesn't make you a "bigot" or an "evil doer."
Race DOES exist you know, and as that poster was trying to say before he was so rudely attacked and his "racial prejudice" was implied was that it would make no sense to have a white kid transform into Samoan Super Hero. Plus there's absolutely no reason to mess with the character's race there are plenty of white male actors who could affectively play this role.
How about this: I propose we cast Angelina Jolie in the role of Captain Adam and have Billy turn into a female! Don't dare try to argue with me on this or you'll forever be labeled as a sexist!
True, I see what you are saying, but this argument (or at least what I am understanding) is
IF The Rock was already cast as Captain Marvel. I'd much rather prefer him as Black Adam, but had he been cast, "plenty of white actors" or the Angelina Jolie bit has no relevance in this argument.

All in all, I'm just trying to get a point across that if The Rock had been cast as Big Red, it's no big deal. Who gives a f***, really? It's Captain Marvel. I'd prefer him as Black Adam, and Brendan Fraser sounds amazing as Captain Marvel (I hope that it could be possible), but like I said before, race isn't a big deal here. Captain Marvel is no Supes, Spider-Man, or Bats. (Definitely in terms of popularity, until the movie comes out and possibly becomes a box office smash)
