    Seriously tired of Hollywood et al deciding to change the esthetic of iconic, historical characters. Everyone from the iconic Dr. Who, to now Professor Snape. Classic male to female. White to black. I don’t see classic female characters growing a pair, nor black characters suddenly turning white. Can you imagine a white Black Panther or a male Scarlet O’hara?
    This is one of the reasons why, in my opinion, that streaming channels are so popular. We, those of us disgusted with current offerings from major studios, can still have access to classic movies and television where characters reflect a time in the world before the current climate of insanity was not being stuffed into our gray matter.

    As of two days ago Warner/HBO said no ones has been cast yet. Why is insider putting this out everyday.
