They grew up/are still reading these characters, and take great importance in how characters are drawn, or described.
Then you have another camp who thinks it is stupid to change the appearance of characters "for the sake of political correctness/diversity." They just believe it is silly, and some believe it can set dangerous precedents.
And yes, a small minority are just flat out racists.
Don't blacks get all bent out of shape when Egyptian FICTIONAL movies are made with White characters depicting historical figures, even though there is ABSOLUTELY NO PROOF they were black?
What if Black Panther got mainstream attention, and then they made the movie and Black Panther was a Finnish guy, and they changed Wakanda to some Svennada, and located it in the Ural mountains or some shyte?
