HAh, if you've one a bunch of fights, made a bunch of money making movies, and even have your toy line you'd be arrogant too. I know I would be.
Who would you rather fight? Mike Tyson or Bruce Lee. I mean, respectively you would loose either, but Iron Mike might bite off your ear. I'd fight Bruce Lee over Iron Mike for that reason.

I'd take Tyson, actually. Sure, I'll get killed, but I might get a chance to fight back at least.
Bruce Lee? I'll be down before I realized what just happened.

I suspect Bruce Lee would be much more merciful. Once he realized that I don't stand a chance, he'd use as little force to take me down as possible.
Mike Tyson would break my entire face.

Good point.
Note to self, just don't tick either one off. Avoids the whole problem.

I don't think there's much danger of you ticking Bruce Lee off, at this point...

That's okay, I feel like a creep for making jokes about a dead guy (one who I admire greatly at that)

Back on topic))
Why would you ever change a good pre existing character? We have other characters of other ethnicities that should have a chance rather than just changing characters. Why don’t we let some more creativity shine. What about characters like The Falcon, Night Thrasher, Black Panther, and so on.
My opinion is it’s not only time to bring out new actors, but new characters as well. Changing an existing character and claiming that you’ve accomplished anything is bullsh*t. Let’s see some new characters period.
I did like the kingpin in Daredevil though, but I'm a Micheal Clark Duncan fan in general.

It's always easier to change a periphery character than a main character. Kingpin (or Nick Fury) being of a different ethnicity in a movie not explicitly about those specific characters doesn't make that much of a difference.
Black Kingpin was the least of Daredevil's problems LOL

I can agree with that. That's why I would rather see a Static Shock, Black Panther, or Icon movie rather than see the lead characters of existing Rolls changed just for the sake of changing them. I wouldn’t even mind seeing a New Warriors, or Power Man and Iron Fist movie. Also, did you know in the Comics Pete Ross was Caucasian, and in Smallville he was an African American? I only read about that recently. .Just because Comic Book based movies have put mainly Caucasians as the lead rolls doesn’t mean that comic books don’t have heroes of different ethnicities. It was funny, because when I was taking my class on diversity in college comic books came up as a topic, and the teacher started claiming they weren’t diverse. So, I pointed out that she only watched the movies, and never read any of the books.
Diversity is cool, but I can’t stand somebody who just automatically boasts a claim like that without taking the time to research it. Just assuming something so shallow minded is ignorant, and just changing a character for the sake of changing them is a slap to the face of everyone who created a character different ethnicity only to have their character passed over just to keep the spotlight on other characters simply by changing their ethnicity. It is very disrespectful to the people who’ve already worked to make comic books diverse by creating new characters.
