what happened, why are they going after star trek
Bendydick Cucumbersnack is playing a character who was originally not white.
but see here’s the thing
Robert Orci, one of the movie’s screenwriters, said, uh, this character probably had his appearance surgically altered.
Which in the context of the movie makes perfect sense, but I think they should’ve made some mention to it.
like okay
in DS9, Dr. Bashir was able to alter Odo, Sisko, and O'Brien to look like Klingons. If you can change someone’s species (and in one unfortunate episode, sex…) changing someone’s race is nothing.
One of the big things with the character was the fact that his identity was being kept a secret. Frankly, if a brown guy played him, everybody would’ve known who the character was. Not only that, I’m sure there’d be other people upset that in this movie, well, he starts off as a fucking TERRORIST. That wouldn’t exactly look good, now would it?
Should they have cast a more racially accurate actor in the first place? Yeah, I think they should have. Did Thundersnatch play the role amazingly? Absolutely.
