House Of The Dragon Showrunner Race Swapped Because To Not See Bunch Of White People

Not amusing for what they are trying with this nonsense and am not sure this is going to help their cause anytime soon.

The Co Showrunner Race Swapped Because To Not See Bunch Of Many White People on Screen.
Than they wonder they criticism from ordinary fans that had stayed with the books for decades.


You even now have Mainstream Outlets talking about this.
Its likely going to backfire on Hollywood.

'House of the Dragon' showrunners reimagined some characters as Black because they didn't want it to be 'another bunch of white people on the screen'

The lack of diversity both on screen and behind-the-scenes of "Game of Thrones" has been a long-discussed criticism of the fantasy show,

This is so called criticism doesn't even come from the actual fans of the Game of Thrones. The actual fans of the series and book had being criticizing the new direction.

For going full tokenism.
They are adding the word diversity if anyone tries to criticize you would be labeled as racist for not liking the "reimagined show"

This once again just proves the people behind the movies, and others in the entertainment section they arent interested in material source. They dont care about the original source of the original story.

both of whom were enslaved in Essos before Daenerys freed them. The show faced criticism for not including more people of color who weren't narratively connected to slavery, and for having Daenerys take on the trope of a white savior

Apparently its a crime adding slavery to your fantasy stories to these woke people likely who haven't read darker theme stories before.
While they are citing a article from 2016 attacking game of thrones fans.

Here’s a question for Game Of Thrones fans: Why aren’t the Lannisters black?
An article from 2016..

“We’re dealing with a fantasy world in an almost Medieval setting, where history tells us that a queen would have been white, generally.”

It seems to me that Liberals who complain the lack of diverse characters in fictional settings only care about political elements to them.

They do not care about the stories or the characters they are trying to sell to their audiences.


Its quite interesting how you dont see the Chinese or in Asia doing this to their movies or TV series when they are the ones making their own fantasy TV series or shows.


What is this with Hollywood current obsession with race in the entertainment? while having a dislike for white characters on screen so much that many of those white characters get a backside now?

While doing their fantasy tales?


Amusingly the criticism that there another bunch of white people on the screen that criticism mostly comes from by white Liberals.

Welp…
Sounds like their gonna find out the hard way.
You go Woke. Your soon to go broke.
Such a shame? I was looking forward to this.

I see you skipped over the part that the idea came from GRRM.

a reply to: Xcalibur254

Not actually. I saw that in a interview that was never his idea the reimagined parts are from the "show runners, co producers"

Look at the lord of the rings recently the fans do not like the one that is being by amazon and rightful so.

The ones that are obsessed with racial undertones in their stories seems to be those in the western countries.
In many other countries do not care about this.

Do they somehow believe its going to sell?

wng.org the tyranny of diversity, equity, and equality

It's another communist/Marxist tool , created to make sure that we're all 'equal' (the 99% that is ) and yet divided at the core

Modern fiction is more like a morality tale or play where every element is supposed to serve the moral lesson, not just tell a story. And they wonder why they are losing audience. People don't like being preached to, and these woke elements are not story.

a reply to: vNex92

their doing this in all kinds of remakes of old tv shows, books, movies and it's not just race, their also doing it with gender, sexual persuasion.

one of the worst if not the worst networks / studios doing this is the cw. their newest one is tom swift.

i got no problems with characters being one way or the other, i do have a problem with for lack of a better term using culture appropriation( something they fuss about anybody else doing) to push their BS down peoples throats.

funny thing about the cw's shows, most never make it more than a few seasons.

To quote the article you posted:

As revealed in the EW article, the decision to show House Velaryon as the first Black family with significant power in Westeros came from Martin himself.

a reply to: Xcalibur254

There was another article continues with more.
That was a idea he had but never went through with it in his book. These show runners and writers are destroying the entertainment and the franchises that they claim they love to work on to with.

They only care about re imagining concepts.

Further evidence, look at the Viking Show what they had being doing it with it.
Its a given why majority dont like this.

So having some of the male characters sullied wasn't good enough
for the fruit loops?

a reply to: vNex92

I just want my stories to be accurate.. like if they make Vikings Africian.. that is 10000% inaccurate. As Africian's would of never survived in the northern climates as it is scientifically proven that the further away from the equator you are the lighter your skin becomes because lighter skin absorbs more sunlight: Which allow's caucasions to thrive in area's that are colder, just like darker pigmentation absorbs less sunlight.. Which allow's them to thrive in area's with higher tempatures.


Livescience: 75% of all African American's Lack Vitamin D, explains increase in cancer and death rates.

African American's at greater risk:

For African-Americans, that number may be nearly double at 76% according to a new study by The Cooper Institute. Previous studies have shown that African-American adults have higher rates of vitamin D deficiency and obesity, as well as lower levels of cardiorespiratory fitness when compared with other groups.

But I will just be called a racist for speaking fact.

Health problem's occur when you relocate, and don't account for those things that are ment to keep you healthy: AKA ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS. In fact it is an epidemic.


So with that said, it's not so much 'fantasy based' skin tone that I care for, it is accuracy. I think when you have a Theme like Vikings: It should be as accurate as possible. Even thing's like Dracula, there's nothing like diving in and getting that feel when they show you Romania, with romanian voices - thick yet punctual, and even in their own languages at times. There's not Africian's there either, so turning an entire dracula series african just break's that connectivity to the story for me.


Like I was watching 911 - and yes I love that entire story with the wife with two kids and a gay husband. That to me is fine, its 100% part of the show, part of the story. But to sit there and watch an anime go from 'female hero' with a love interest with nonstop flirting for 10seasons, who season 10 episode 5 turn's around and say's 'i'm gay, sorry girl'. Or to turn on an episode where a couple was getting closer to hooking up, to randomly have the next season start off with 2 gay men standing at the door, one of them not even a main character a fricken gardener in a corner 'We GOT MARRIED" it just ruins everything - Lock & Key, couldn't even continue the next season when they turned around and the mom's love interest(main) married the gardener who's mainly a subpar character just to fit in.

Either way, i'm done with Hollywood and their bull#. I cancelled all my subscriptions because of the 'me too' movement in TV, to the point Y ratings is having gay sex pushed in them.


If you want to create a 'Dracula' style horror in Africa i'm all for it, make the storyline juicy. If you want to make a 'viking' style show in Africa, use the Somolian Pirates. But at LEAST original and don't call them 'vikings' because they weren't. They are known as PIRATES (with that said I wouldn't mind if they added African's to Pirates of the Carribean - but don't replace the character's that are there because we are way to far into the series so it is better make a few more which can easily be introduced: even if you kill off some of the older characters), and last but not least don't replace character's just because you want to multi-culture your tv show not only does it ruin ALL the previous storyline that has been done it's just in straight up bad taste..

I think one of the worst cases i've ever seen was in slider's when they replaced the MAIN actor with another because he went to go do 'kangaroo jack'(wasn't even a color difference). Fricken loved that show, and it took me 15year's to even finish it once they got rid of the main guy who created the entire reason for the show in the first place. The original guy to develope a wormhole machine, magically everyone else was up to date on the science. Despite the fact it was kept as a secret from everyone.

The other one that bothered me was when they replaced Vivian in Fresh Prince, I LOVED the original Vivian. It wasn't as bad, Will Smith just turned it into a joke, and she was only there for a handful of episodes. But it still bothered me a lot, replacing character's unless the actor literally dies is usually in bad taste.

Charmed was another, they killed off a main character.. (sure good for story, actor was a 'bish'), but I will clearly state when Shannon Doherty Died, I hated her replacement for years, I stopped watching it all together at season 5. Took year's to go back and rewatch it, but I still prefer the first 3 seasons over the last 7.

There's a lot of people who think like me on this, so if they want to swap their character's. Let them, all that will happen is they will lose viewers, those viewers will be their most loyal viewers as well. Anyone else that watches is going to tune in when there's nothing else to watch on tv. So, if you wind up in that hole.. You're a crap writer and should think about a career change.

" The United States has a population of about 312,000,000 people. The majority of the US is Caucasian (about 86% of the US is Caucasian race [includes whites, hispanics, middle easterns, and indians], 73% of the US is white, 11% is hispanic and about 2% is Indian and Arabic) That would mean about 268,320,000 of the 312,000,000 residents of the United States is Caucasian."

Since When does a Two Thirds Majority of a Population in ANY COUNTRY Presently On EARTH Give a Damn about what their One Third MINORITIES Think ?

Half the people in GOT were ethnic lol

So they made the Lannisters black then they complained about having a black dwarf and an evil black queen.
Worst characters imaginable and they're jealous?

it started a while ago with the "wiz"

look at Asgard, 1 black guy and he's the doorman?

I am sick and tired of this woke bullsh1t in every single show, movie, commercial, book, whatever. Its being done ad nauseum - to the point of inducing nausea, and it needs to stop. Yes there are people of color, mixed race couples, gay people. But they are not everywhere all the time in every business, every household, everything everywhere.

And while I am at it, wtf is culture appropriation anyway? Speaking as an Italian I better never see one of these woke asshats eating a freakin pizza...

I hope they make the dragons trans so even more people get pissed off.

Ummm but you have no problem with Marlon Brando, James Caan and Ray Liotta(he's adopted, non Italian birth parents) playing Italian characters? Why is that? You would be offended to see Giancarlo Esposito play an Italian because he is brown even though he's half Italian?

I'm very proudly a child of Italian immigrants, although we consider us being Sardinian different from the other Italians as we have a completely different Italian dialect, our family has grown to have many other ethnicities and races in it. I personally don't get offended when I see a diverse group of people interacting on screen. Movies/TV are never like the books. I was most offended when 5"7 Tom Cruise played 6"5 Jack Reacher than any other actor playing a role.
