People had absolutely no issues with Mace Windu being black. But, for some reason people like to pretend that when people complain about modern Star Wars, if it has a person of color that that’s the thing they hate about it… when, that isn’t even remotely fair or accurate.
Again, the writing is almost universally terrible and cliched. You can only cash in on your fan-bases good will for so long, you can only get a pass for shoddy products for so long… race has nothing to do with this.
I get what you are saying, and I dont necessarily disagree.
I think we are on different pages of a similar book?
I think we look at the statement “we added a minority” in different ways (not necessarily wrong). And its creating friction in the conversation.
I think going the extra steps is a vital part, but still under the “we added a minority” umbrella. I am not sure anyone is arguing minority characters should just be thrown in with no story as to why. When people talk about representation being added, I dont think its ever suggested it should just be added with no reasoning or back story.
Apologies, but i am unsure who that is, Is that a character in WoW or Star wars or something else? i have trouble remembering names of characters in movies and shows >.<
Acolyte is absolute garbage level writing. But, so was Shadowlands. And most of Dragonflight. It has nothing to do with Disney or Blizzard but rather the creatively bankrupt writers that are employed and the idiotic financiers that continue to fund them. It’s that simple.
Probably because they can make the stories more interesting. If everything can be explained or solved through “space magic,” it kind of limits your storytelling potential lol.
