Generally I don't care one way or the other if a character's appearance is changed in an adaptation. That doesn't affect the quality.

Speaking as a straight white man, however, I have to think it'd be better in terms of representation to create new characters instead of just modifying existing ones.

Don't ask for a black Peter Parker, demand a Miles Morales.

Lance is dope but I dont know about this premise lmao

Building on one of the most popular, best selling survival horror video games of all time, Resident Evil will tell a brand new story across two timelines, both following the daughters of series antagonist Albert Wesker in the present and future.

Cant be any worse than the movies

Okay, I don't want a black Albert Wesker. I demand an Albert Wesley

But Wesker wanted to spread Ouroborus across the planet. That isnt racial purity. Thats... I dont know what it is. But it isnt that.
Yeah, that's kinda what I was referring to. That's where it loses the thread.

I feel bad for Lance being attached to that dogshit show. It sounds just awful.

You know, because whiteness is Albert Wesker's gimmick.
I like Lance Reddick so Im down but I will say choosing a black man to play a corrupt cop is an...odd choice in todays political climate.

Wesker being black is a total non issue, it's clear they're not following the continuity of the games since *series spoilers* Wesker is dead anyway so really they're free to take whatever creative liberties they want

In the original game, sure. Dunno if they retconned it (haven't played an RE game since RE5).

Holy shit, it's fucking Broyles!!!

Lance Reddick is one of the chillest and classiest motherfuckers alive. Loved him as Broyles in Fringe and Charon in the John Wick movies.

Seriously, why does anyone care? As long as the actor feels like weaker or is a good fit. Skin pigmentation doesn't matter. As for black johnny storm, the only thing that I thought was stupid was that they made him and sue not biological. Missed out on having a mixed family dynamic.

I'm curious to see where they go with this.

Not like I really care about most of the Resident Evil media outside of the games anyway.

Capcom literally based the character models in game off of the actors in the opening cutscene, right? So if he was played by a black actor, Wesker would be black instead this whole time.

All I know is the actress they cast as Jill will be a snack in that Jill outfit.

It doesn't matter to me and I consider myself a hardcore RE fan since day one.

They wanted to make Sue black as well, but Fox said no-no.
Aren't they brother and sister?
