I don’t believe our druthers on the MCU coincide as closely as you might think. You’ve been vocal about changing ethnicities, while I’ve been put off by changes ‘period.’ If it’s in the comics, I’m good. Zero issues with Miles Morales, Falc-Cap, Robbie Reyes, LGBTQ Herc, or Jane Thor. That said, if FF fails, I don’t see there being another reboot. They’ve got to nail it.
Luckily this ff isnt in the main universe.

Maybe people here haven't been following the rumors and I totally get not wanting to give disneymarvel the benefit of the doubt here, but from what I've read, at least to me, there's some logic to what they're doing. Rumors are Norrin will be in the movie. It's all but confirmed the movie will be taking place in an alternate universe(the graphic showed a more technologically stylized background.) Assuming the rumors are true and that universe will be destroyed, I can see the logic in not wanting to introduce Norrin as the surfer and then killing him off in the same movie. By having him swap roles with Shalla, you can familiarize the casual audience with his origin without the potential redundancy when you reintroduce him in the main timeline. So, when he does show up in the main timeline, it's a quick exposition dump that he switched roles with shalla and everyone will understand. In the comics Surfer didn't participate in secret wars, so im not sure how much sense it'd make to even introduce the proper version before the reboot. All that said, I'm not saying if they go this way, that it's the best decision or even a good one, I'm just attempting to throw out there an alternative train of logic.

What do you mean it isn’t in the “main universe?” I haven’t paid much attention post the initial casting announcement and discussion of it being a ‘period piece,’ which doesn’t preclude it being ‘616.’ And don’t get me started on how the hell the MCU is 616 when it seems to be an amalgam of multiple universes… Ultimates Cap and Nick Fury..yadda…

Yeah, if you're going to insult someone at least get their damn avatar straight! Drakkon is NOT the white ranger ya dumbass!!
I hope the rumor about FF being in an alternate reality is false. That would be the biggest cop out since DC brought Jason Todd back from the dead.

No, the TMNT stuff is from Target. Right now, the Mirage stuff is Target exclusive until I believe June.
