The MCU Nick Fury is based on "Ultimate" version Nick Fury. I don't have a problem when they re-skin very minor/ non-mainstream characters like this bc from my understanding Ultimate Nick Fury is a completely different character in all but name.
But I have to disagree with you on re-skinning characters in general. It is a lazy way to be more diverse and I don't believe it will help a character to stick around at all if anything it causes severe backlash at time. Unless someone has stats that say other wise. But if they just re-skinned characters we would not have some of the best super-heroes like Black Panther, Myles Morales, Static Shock, John Stewart Green Lantern (The best Lantern!), Storm, Cyborg ect...
I hope you don't get to upset about this thread  or my comments but I just feel its a terrible idea for to simply re-skin characters especially given how the comic industry relies so heavily on using the same characters. I think it will ultimate make the industry stagnant. |
I have to ask tho, how beholden to race do characters have to be in a multiverse scenario? Since TMNT runs on one. And isn't that the whole point of the Spiderverse? Peter Parker is a spiderman out of infinite spidermans.
I want to reiterate that I'm confident April will be white in the majority of her appearances. But I find it disturbing that in a proven multiverse scenario like this, people get so angry about 1 race change. When the skin color is the least important thing about who they are, and on top of that, April is radically different iteration to iteration.
