The Belgariad seems a bit too broad on a quick wiki, the Runelords and Mistborn seem like they might fit the bill. The thing about Avatar is just that the magic is so finite and easily understood. Pyrokineses, hydrokinesis, terrakinesis and aerokinesis - that's it. Okay, there's a little shamanism going on too, but…

Name a couple?

That is a damn cool idea.

Came here to say this. Can't say I'm exposed to a lot of magic and magic rules, but they've mastered it pretty well by making it similar to superpowers and The Force. You know what kind of bender can do what and because they're using elements, we know the kinds of states to expect from the combat. It's the closest any…

Okay, but when he says "original story" he means "original story that heavily features Klingons in some capacity" right?

Starred for naming all four of the only cool Star Trek movies correctly.

I'm not talking fundamentally really, I'm talking about baggage, that's why I said "kind of". Black Britons tend to have a fundamentally different EXPERIENCE, so that would inform who is cast. How many black Britons come from old money? You're just not going to have a large number of black Britons who have had the…

What I'm saying: your post doesn't even begin to convey what you said afterwards and makes you look like a fool!

Again, I understood you perfectly, and what you said was perfectly stupid.

You didn't make a witty, hard-to-get post. You made a stupid one. It remains stupid. I wasn't upset, I'm still not, I just thought it might be a good idea to point out how stupid it was.

Well, if it wasn't clear from your first post that your logic is flawed and you're kind of an asshole, it's pretty clear now :)

You're backpeddaling like a champ and really tying yourself in knots. It's actually quite impressive in its own way. Regardless of how sarcastic, hyperbolic or ironic you were being, it doesn't make your comment any less stupid.

It's your sarcastic dismissal of the OP, with an ill-fitting rebuttal, that is the problem. Shaft isn't Shaft if he's not a black dude, so your post implied that the Doctor couldn't be the Doctor unless he were a white dude, and that the very idea that anyone would want to see some diversity in this instance was…

"I won't rest until there is a white Shaft" is the quote you simpleton.

lol, HOW is it gibberish?

You're the one that said Shaft dude. Not Alex Cross or whoever. Shaft. You might as well have said Thulsa Doom or Black Panther.

Haha, you're resorting to twisting my words. Nice. Again, there's no indication in your original post whatsoever. It's implicit in OPs post that they would like for there to be a woman or a non-white actor that was right for the job just because it's something they'd like to see. Your post implies nothing other than…

I'm glad I could spoil your fun if that's what you consider fun. It wasn't really a "fun idea" at all dude, I mean, it's barely an idea. It's parroted all over the net any time the recasting of an originally white character in favor of a non-white actor is threatened.

That's not the argument you were making with your Shaft bullshit.

Uh, a tenth season isnt a remake, and neither is a failed pilot...
