Because a character is more than their looks? Because an adaption does not need to be a second to second copy of the source material?

You are in for a wild ride if you expect the exact same story beats to happen in order without anything new added and other parts removed.. gonna be rough.

I'm happy with what we have, but I fail to understand why people are downvoting this so hard. Like it's just someones opinion, a bit higher people are upvoting another suggestion for an actor for a different character.
