BLACK PANTHER Director Ryan Coogler Is Reportedly Developing An X-FILES Reboot

@mountainman - I applaud your bravery during this time of great struggle.

@FilmGuy7878 - lets have a moment of silence for the brain cells i lost reading both of these ignorant comments.

@supermanrex - What is ignorant about what I said? Have you not seen how many redheads have been race swapped in recent years? I didn’t give any opinions, just stated that fact.

@FilmGuy7878 - It is an interesting pattern isn’t it. Even if the article hadn’t already said that Coogler is planning on race swaps, you just know they can’t have Scully stay white.

@mountainman - Yeah it's suspicious for sure. All I know is that Jean Grey better not be harmed, you hear me Feige!?

@mountainman - Exactly! Just make the main X-Men team diverse to begin with. Cyclops, Jean, Storm, Wolverine, Sunfire, Kitty Pryde, Colossus, and Beast.

Honestly the only character I would race swap amongst the people I just listed is Beast since he's blue and furry most of the time so it wouldn't matter in the slightest (my casting would be Utkarsh Ambudkar).

@mountainman - It's funny, I usually don't care much if a race is swapped unless it's a critical element of the characterization.

However, you'd have to be blind to not see redhead erasure in Hollywood haha. At this point it's almost like an inside joke.

@TyrantBossMedia - Have there been any prominent red heads not race swapped since Ron Weasley? I guess Archie, but that actor didn’t really fit the look of the classic character either.

@FilmGuy7878 - The first few X-Men movies actually showed this decently well. None of the students got much of an arc, but they were there. Now you could introduce them in the main X-Men movie and do a spin-off movie or show focused on them.

@mountainman - Richie Cunningham. 1974-1979

Lucille Ball, but she was filmed in Black and White so you didn't see her hair color.
She had two other lesser hit shows years later, but she owned the studio at that point.

Black Widow, but a) Johanssen dyed her hair to make it red so she was a TransGinger
b) They changed her hair away from that awesome red to blonde for Endgame.
But when they brought her back to red....they killed her.

Scarlet Witch, also a TransGinger (Elizabeth Olsen), and she was turned into a ruthless mass murderer.

LeeLoo from The Fifth Element was a red head, but she was a TransGinger as well.

Mary Jane Watson was a TransGinger in the original Spider-Man.
Then she was race swapped for Zendaya

Ariel as you already stated was race swapped.

A simple google search presented this...



All race swapped red heads...
Cyclone in Black Adam
Hawkgirl in the CW and Arrow
Iris West in the CW
Jimmy Olsen in Supergirl
Wally West in Flash
Starfire in Titans
Batwoman in Batwoman
April O'Neil in The Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Electro in Amazing Spider-Man 2 and NWH
Commissioner Gordon in The Batman
Heimdall in all of the Thor movies
Bow in Sheera and the Princesses of Power
Ariel (as we already mentioned)
Josie in Josie and the Pussycats movie
Rip Cord in GI Joe the rise of Cobra
Flash Thompson in Spider-Man Homecoming (but I remember his as more of a blonde)

And here is Part 2


Mary Jane Watson in Spider-Man Homecoming, etc.
Lana Lang in Smallville
Alicia Masters in the Fantastic Four movie and cartoon
Little Orphan Annie in the remake movie
Cecil Horton in The Flash

There is no arguing that they are race swapping red-heads. That very Anti Gingite

@Deklipz - Does it have to be said that 100% of those red heads were white or are you really that daft? Like Barbara Gordon, Ariel, Jimmy Olsen and so many others? It’s a pretty clear trend that has occurred. Nobody said gingers are a race, but gingers are almost always from a UK origin and are of the caucasian race.

@BrotherQStark - Maybe just wait until they've announced whether they'll be recasting existing characters or introducing new characters before you commence with the wailing and gnashing of teeth?
