When is Tumblr going to understand that people are not upset about Johnny Storm being black. People are upset because Sue Storm isn’t also black.

People are upset because making only one of the Storms non-white is clearly just an angle to make the film seem ‘diverse’, when in reality, if they were really trying to be diverse, both of the Storms would have been black. And since they decided to go that route in the first place, both of the Storms SHOULD have been black.

People are upset because Michael B. Jordan did not audition for the role of Johnny Storm. Auditions were never held. Josh Trank gave the Role to Jordan because they’re best friends. They do not give a fuck that making Johnny and Sue adoptive siblings doesn’t make sense with the rest of what they are doing, or that making one of the Storms adopted was unnecessary and even somewhat ruins their relationship.

People are upset because the movie is not being made with artistic intent. The movie is being made solely as a rights grab. Fox should honestly just sell the rights back to Marvel and focus on X-Men, the series they seem to actually give a crap about.

Making both Johnny and Sue storm black would actually have worked incredibly well for many reasons, and there’s plenty of black actresses out there who could have been cast, but Josh Trank doesn’t give a fuck. After Chronicle (which granted I did enjoy) Trank thinks he’s the greatest director on earth.

That is why I’m upset about the upcoming pretentiousness that Josh Trank dares call the Fantastic Four, as he might as well just call it Chronicle 2, since that’s clearly what he’s trying to make.
