Didn't Bassett turn down the role?
It's still kind of a hard role to cast because Storm is African but she has very....I wanna say, almost Angelina Jolie-esque facial features and looks very model like. I know it's not realistic in a real world setting, but you know. Basically she would look like Iman over anything.
I think some of the people who were upset the most about what he did was black women, not because of the fact that he cheated but because of the fact that not one of the other women were black.
^ We're all judging you for either:
A. Not having a job and thus spending your afternoons picking apart FAMILY FEUD.
Or
B. Actually being gainfully employed and CHOOSING to watch FAMILY FEUD and pick apart it's racial makeup.
3) Anyone crying about changing a character's race in a film can go sit a corner for timeout. When Chapel and Terry were made White in the Spawn film, no one cried about the film being "too White." When Fox, who is modled after Halle Berry, was made White, no one batted an eye. A french woman plays Talia, a White man plays Bane, who cares, right?
But let a Black man play Heimdall or the Human Torch and auddenly it's ruining accuracy and legacy. It's utter crap. These are fictional characters, not real life figures and heroes.
On that note, White people even get cast in the roles of real lif people of color. Harrison Ford in Extraordinary Measures (in rea life, a Taiwanese doctor). Damn near all of the MIT students in 21 (mostly Chinese in real life). Freaking Ben Affleck as Tony Mendez, a MEXICAN! And he won an academy award.
So you know what? If Marvel is cool with a Black Human Torch, I say it should slide.
4) Why would anyone elect to refer to a woman as anything but her actual name or some term of endearment?
True. The movie Obsessed was the epitome of a black woman's biggest fear.
Wasn't he based on Greek American actor Telly Savalas?

House slave vs. Field slaveI've never got why people care so much about variation in skin tone. I don't pull out a colour chart when I meet women. There are beautiful light skinned women and beautiful dark skinned women.
I'm not sure if that is a good thing or bad thing. For the actors it is, but I feel darker actresses (notice this only applies to women) have a harder time because the powers only want someone who seems...more pleasing to the eye.Most racially ambiguous or mixed actors use their heritage to play a variety of roles so its not all bad.
Wow!Its a shame there is no actresses that looks like model Jourdan Dunn because she has some of the features artists have drawn Storm having.

Damn! I even forgot she was in that.Angela Bassett pulled the short straw and sadly the only comic character she is probably going to play in her career is Amander Waller in that flop Green Lantern
movie.
