They aren't in the business of making straight off the page, panel for panel adaptations of their comics.

Because I really don't care, nor do most people. That's what you seem to be missing. To the vast majority of people watching, it doesn't matter, and clearly Marvel and DC realize it doesn't matter or they wouldn't keep doing it.

A white Black Panther wouldn't make sense because of a very specific reason. He's the king of an isolationist African country with no contact with the outside world.

The people you keep mentioning like Iron Fist and such? Their race isn't relevant to the character in the slightest. The important part of Iron Fist's backstory is that he's not from K'un-L'un and comes from a rich family. The important part of Jimmy Olsen's story is is that he's a photographer and journalist and Superman's pal.

Seems like your making it a double standard to me.... black panther MUST be black ??? So if it doesn't matter to marvel maybe they could cast a gustamalan actor then ?? while marvel doesn't care supposedly as you said, they do care when they're movies flop in the box office.

I said it once before i'll say it again and i'll use your words as well.. "race swapping " a character for the sake of being diverse and trying to appeal to a crowd that may or may not be there is just a poor decision as a director or whomever that is producing that movie or tv show.

When they do things half ass or try to take a short cut, that will lead to whatever show or movie flopping big time.
