No, my point right there is that Marvel does it all the time because it doesn't matter. You completely skipped over the points I listed of all the many many MANY changes to comic book canon Marvel makes in its movies. Do you know why Marvel does so? Because it doesn't matter. They aren't in the business of making straight off the page, panel for panel adaptations of their comics.

Explain to myself as well as others because this exact topic was at hand a week or so back. tell us why you think it doesn't matter to "race swap" as you called it for a character that was since their creation a Caucasian male??

So johnny storm since his creation in 1961 has been an Caucasian American male with blonde hair and blue eyes, Jimmy Olsen since his creation from 1941 has been white with red hair and freckles. so how does this not look or seem wrong to you ?
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.

Why not for the black panther film we have coming in the future we have jonah hill portray T-challa, or how about say for that john stewart green lantern film supposedly due out, have brad pitt play him... does that seem logical to you in anyway? it doesn't to me and im not even black.

Same goes with Iron Fist, why would we change his ethnicity ??? what will this accomplish other then pissing off the people that are hard core fans, and just make it look completely off.....
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.
