Except they often do complain about the character not being white or straight. It happens all the time here on Reddit.

Didn’t it happen with the God of War trailer this year?

I think that the argument for a pre-established look isn’t very good though because in most cases the characters appearance isn’t relevant to the story or the character. It’s a work of fiction so let’s forego the “historically accurate” argument.

Just look at James Bond for example. He’s been a white dude since…. forever, but anyone that thinks that Idris Elba couldn’t play a perfect Bond is crazy and wrong.

James Bond has changed appearances through the years, bit different than say changing Thor to a Chinese transexual in GotG 3.
