Leave the canon alone. Update the dialogue, if you want, obviously but you don't change the core. It's insulting and demeaning and disrespectful of the original artist!

I so much agree with you on this. I love the title character, and that's about it. I absolutely cannot stand Jimmy Olsen. He's nothing like the original character, and that destroys all suspension of belief and immersion in the show for me.

Oh, please.

Haha!

It's art. They don't need to be politically correct about anything. It is ridiculous to ask them or expect them to do so. Either watch it, enjoy it, and go off better for it, or quit whining, and watch something else you like better.

I couldn't have said it better myself! Oh, the humanity!

Exactly.

Why would you do either? The whole point is to create a story the writer can picture and imagine. It's hard enough when you're throwing in fantasy elements for the mind to step in to make believe, every good writer knows you have to have grounding elements to make it seem plausible. That said, I think I'm pretty tired…

Who cares? They are fictional characters. "Fic-tion-al char-ac-tors." That is how the writers see their persona. Who is this "writer" to criticize someone else's art? I don't see her making anything more appealing to audiences! And why is it every article I come across today with this particular antisocial bias seems…

Exactly.

Yes, it completely sucks. It might have stood on its own, had they only changed the powers and the plot to match what they were physically portraying, but as it was, the whole thing was almost comical. But mostly sad. That was the feeling I really walked away with. A complete waste of money.

Shout out to a fellow comic officianado! You're cool. Regarding the Human Torch: even my black friend and fellow comic book fan was pissed about that. Casting iconic characters as people of other races ( Johnny Storm, Iris West, Wally West, Jimmy Olsen, just to name a few) simply to accommodate an actor is not only…

What an egregious and unfortunate article this is! An actor's whole job is to be able to portray a character of any type, and it is the tale of their talent how well they can pull it off. Hint: it's called "Acting." An actor of any specific color or race is not needed to portray someone of another race, as long as…

Yeah, there is, and most people across the board on many commentary boards have noted it.

Supergirl would not have let him purposely break his hand against her unbreakable jaw. That is a most un-Supergirl thing to do! She and Superman process thought at superhuman speed, and it would have occurred to her long before his fist got even close that he could be hurt that way and that she should redirect his…

The most striking thing to me for this episode was that when Red Tornado finally achieves sentience, he pushes Kara off of him, and looks ready to have a conversation, or see how she will treat him (I personally got the feeling that he was sentient all along, resented being controlled, and wondered himself if this…

Um, it was a nuclear war. At least in the book.

I was excited to see they had made a movie of one of my favorite novels. I approached it almost with reverence, albeit with some trepidation that they might veer from the original subject matter. When I saw the promo picture, I knew something was amiss, for there were only two characters in the novel. I had hopes the…
