It's just suspicious that black is always the go to race. If she could easily be any race, odds are she would be Asian or hispanic. When they always are black, it makes one suspect an agenda

Tbh reading the comics, I was never sure if that was suppose to be her actual skin or like face paint or something. I don't remember any alluding to either one. Outside of that, her race is irrelevant. But if they could body paint Mystique, why not Domino?

Honestly I wish both sides would shut up since they obviously know fuck all about comics if they're even arguing about this. NONE OF THE COMIC BOOK MOVIES ARE DIRECT REPRESENTATIONS OF THEIR RESPECTIVE 'MAIN UNIVERSE. They can do whatever the fuck they want. They're not getting rid of the character, and there's no real 'victory' either in the 'hey we replaced a white guy in media!' way. The real domino will still exist in 616 since movie Deadpool isn't 616 Deadpool, and this is simply only a different univeses's version of domino. Fuck, there's a universe where Bruce banner becomes the sorcerer supreme. There's a universe where Gwen Stacy is Deadpool (and it's a hilarious comic I might add, check out gwenpool vs deadpool)

That means black people constantly are the best actors because this keeps happening. That's why I find it suspicious. Why doesn't an Asian ever put on the best audition?

An Asian woman couldn't even get the lead in the Ghost in the Shell movie. What's up with all the whining about black people?

Asians don't get cast in movies in general. Quit whining about black people and focus on the bigger issue, which is that asian people don't get cast at all. Dumbass crab in a bucket shit is all you're doing.

thing with domino is

she is white not because of her race

but apparently her superpower makes her skin super pale white

like I said, it could be played by a black actress with white paint all over her body


basically she is supposed to look like an actual domino

That could have been their intent. I dunno. I liked the character in Cable and Deadpool own books, but never really gave it much thought.

The downside of being a Rob Liefeld character: look cool first, come up with rationale decades later by some other creator. i'm sure Rob never had any clue what she was and the skin color was something not found in nature.

Eh, that's a large part of why I've never been able to get into any of these live action adaptations. Always felt less like a movie based on a comic book, and more like a movie that happens to be named after one.

like

if Harley Quinn was played by a black actor as opposed to a white actor

it would make no difference

why?

her whole body is painted with white clown paint

domino is the same

I really don't understand why the race of the person playing the character really matters unless it is somehow crucial to their character.
It doesn't. And in this case it isn't crucial. They could get a black man to play Deadpool and would it matter, when he spends 99.9% of his time behind a full face mask. Same with Domino if they are going to paint her like her character just like they did the gal that played Mystique.

Are you also this passionate in questioning why white people are constantly getting acting roles over other races?

I have never heard of domino aside from assuming she's a superhero associated with deadpool, which I know because of the deadpool vs. Boba fett epic rap battle, where Boba fett makes a wordplay line about "calling domino's" like the pizza place, so when I first watched it, I was all "hmm so this likely is a reference to some female superhero named domino that deadpool knows"

she is basically a weaker scarlet witch in all she can do is alter probability

so she uses her power to shoot a gun and not miss because she is lucky

and is often used in the stories as a sex object with her large chest
