Part 6/9:
Wright emphasizes that societal attitudes toward race and representation in media are shifting. He points out the stark hypocrisy in how fans and critics react to different race swaps—being accepting of some but outraged by others—especially when it involves Black characters or actors. For instance, recent uproar over a white actor portraying Black Panther in Marvel comics exemplifies this inconsistency.
He argues that Hollywood is becoming more inclusive, and this evolution can be uncomfortable for some traditionalists. Wright suggests that resistance to diversity reflects broader societal resistance to change, yet he encourages embracing these shifts as reflective of societal progress.
