I think their initial point was that clearly, it's not as big a problem as people keep saying it is.

'm pretty sure there's no shortage of great roles for Asians in, say, China, or Japan.

Agree. They should just go back to where they came from.

in the Thor movie we were supposed to be seeing Asgard, a land based on Norse (Scandinavian) mythology - which was the Scandinavian image of gods based on themselves - yet they didn't have any problem making Heimdall black.

Thor had an out because the first movie pretty much says they aren't the same as the gods from Norse mythology, but inspired them. That's why Kat Dennings' character has a line about primitive cultures like Vikings mistaking the Asgardians for celestial deities.

Same with the Greek island of Themyscira - multi racial.

Themyscira being multiracial is straight fro the comics. The origin of the Amazons was that they were reincarnated from women who were brutalized or murdered across history.

It genuinely interests me as to whether or not we are going to see a multi-racial Wakanda in the upcoming movie.

There's no way that's happening. Besides they already have Klaw and Martin Freeman's character.[/QUOTE]

Same way TF Prime Arcee is inspired by Priss from Bubblegum Crisis, but is different enough it's a non-issue.

The original toy though on the other hand, likely won't see any kind of re-release stateside ever except maybe at a convention where the rules can be a little more relaxed since it's not meant for normal retail market.

Ah, thanks I wasn't aware it was different.
