Paranoia. I honestly don’t care I’m just saying that’s something they will do . See you are to soft on certain movies and seem to see them through rose colored glasses. I was young to once. Not every movie is good and not every adaption is handled properly . I know you probably like that death note film. That was atrocious. And that wasn’t a remake all the characters were pretty much gender bent versions of the male cast
Dude paranoia is intense anxious or fearful feelings and thoughts often related to persecution, threat, or conspiracy.
What you say is paranoia because you build a conspiracy where you are trying to predict something for the future without any factual basis, all of this is due to your fear of progressive agendas that actually call for all kinds of people to be treated equally. You see a diverse cast as a threat and persecution of your "white straight male only" movies. Yes, i like 80's action movies.
Like yes, we now have a much more diverse cast than we had in the last century, but at the same time I'm writing this on an online forum using an internet connected computer talking to someone in another country, while back them people had to use pen and paper or analog typewriter to communicate to someone who was not in the same house.
I am not soft or see the world or movies in colored glasses, i just dont live my life being a hypocrite and looking back at the world with conservative nostalgic lenses while walk with an smarthphone of the year in my hand, we as a society need to move forward, ever forward not backwards.
For you to form an opinion about something (remember that all art is subjective and will work individually for each person) you need to consume it first and not predict with your imagination, if you don't like it doesn't mean it's bad, just that you did not like it.
And no, i did not like the Netflix's Death Note movie. And no, in the movie there was no gender bent character. And it is a Remake since the original anime and manga had already a few japanese live action movies.
Light: In the movie he is a straight male just like the manga\anime, the only change was that in the movie he was white(american) while in the manga he is asian(japanese).
L: in the movie L is a demisexual male just like the manga\anime, in the movie he is black(american) and in the manga he is a mix of Japanese, English, and Russian(2\3 white and 1\6 asian).
