While I enjoyed SLJ as Fury (and still do), the fact remains (to me) is that the identity of the character we all grow up knowing has changed.
I agree. This PC nonsense has to stop. As a comic geek you wait your whole life to see these characters brought to life and then these hollywood momo's pull this. Drives me nuts.

i didn't mind Depp as Tonto nearly as much because at least he was trying to fit the part, if this young man wants to wear makeup to actually attempt to resemble the character he is playing then i'll change my tune on him fitting the role

You are right on Depp. He was playing the part and under heavy makeup. Still though, for me, it didn't work.

Good point about Depp. I doubt this guy is gonna make himself up to be white though. Seriously though. Now they have to cast a black girl for Sue. Otherwise how retarded is that.

That would make this situation that much more stupid.

Love the F4 and clearly Fox has no respect for the original source material. They don't deserve to make this movie.

Zero interest in seeing this now. I'm not into these revisionists takes on classic characters.

Just another reason why these licenses need to go back to Marvel.
