So the argument is what, that the white people who had a ‘role model’ for their kids shouldn’t be annoyed that the industry is removing that role model, because race shouldn’t matter. But also that race representation matters, and that it’s important for other races to have representation by taking over the roles of those figures.

Regarding Doctor Who, Nguti will not be the Doctor forever. He's just one of many. Whether or not he was specifically chosen because he's black or not, I don't know, but I don't see any inherent problem with the Doctor being black. Race shouldn't be core to the identity of the doctor.

I mean, we’re busy watching young guys flock to alpha dumbass influencer bros, in part because there are fewer and fewer positive role models for them to look up to.

I think this is a much wider issue beyond the casting for Doctor Who. I'd argue the general decline of entertainment monoculture in general plays more of a role here than any particular creative decision for remakes or reimagining of TV series and films.

This is a very unusual take in my opinion for the show. It's more commonly believed that the Rosita and Gabriel matchup made no sense.

I know nothing about those particular shows or films. I would expect a US remake of a show or film to possibly do recasts.

Does this upset you? I believe Thailand also did a modern reimagining of Snow White too, with a Thai actress playing the role.

Doctor Who has always been a character who can regenerate and reform by design. They're an alien species. I'd argue its more important they're eccentric guile heroes in performance than their sex or race.

It depends on context. Doctor Who is a fictional character. Historical figures are not. It isn't hard to understand why there are different reactions there.

Well I guess I was hoping people wouldn't reply with "Game of Thrones" lol. I do regret not time restricting it though, in hindsight.

Dude I'm just trying to entice continued activity. I appreciate that some here are sharing more popular shows. Maybe I could make a rating cut-off point on IMDB (5k votes or lesser) and remove all comments that include a show above that threshold lol.

Let me know if I've missed any. It's tedious to compile all this because no streaming service seems to understand how to actually share whats coming next properly.

Correct. There's movies for that. It's split into movies and television.

Unfortunately, on reddit - when subreddits restrict new posters or low karma commenters, they're just trying to mitigate the impact of trolls and bots and people making new accounts. It's not about being elitist.

Yeah, I often just forget to upvote generally. Although this could lead to argumentative posters making troll posts, getting engagement and trending just because people reply to them.

This may not be an inherently bad thing given that low karma accounts tend to be trolls.

Yeah, I made television because I didn't think showsandmovies mod team was active. I was then headhunted to help out there. I don't know where television stands now though even if I think it has the best name for... well, tv-posting. Whilst I agree with "showsandmovies" is an odd name as its been repurposed for TV primarily... but it seems to be the most popular and developed.

But whilst you can obviously overlap to some degree, movies and tv are just as commonly separate communities so from 4 you can get at least 2.
