First off, I apologize for my post, which is now signed. But it's going to take alot to drag me away from my stance here. To be fair, I haven't seen Elba in many roles, let alone any that impressed me. I don't know that the casting choice was a political one, but it wouldn't surprise me if it was. You have Susannah to fill the black role(she is also a woman, so both groups will be satisfied). Roland isn't black,; I should probably drop the issue there, but I'm not. I'm probably coming off as the obnoxious, ranting fanboy, but if that is the cost for wanting a proper representation of a great series and quite possibly the best character in all of fiction, so be it. --[[User:H3nry8adger1982|H3nry8adger1982]] ([[User talk:H3nry8adger1982|talk]]) 12:04, 23 November 2016 (EST)H3nry8adger1982 | First off, I apologize for my post, which is now signed.

Revision as of 14:50, 3 May 2017
Please no
THIS IS NOT RIGHT! The guns are wrong, the actor is wrong, everything is wrong! I'm not racist, but Roland isn't supposed to be black. End of rant.--H3nry8adger1982 (talk) 11:18, 23 November 2016 (EST)H3nry8dger1982
- If you're going to rant on a horrible comic book interpretation, at least try to mark your name.--PaperCake 16:16, 22 November 2016 (EST)
Chill out, this is one of those adaptations where they don't care what skin color the original character is. I'd be more annoyed if they made Roland a woman to be PC for today's audiences. Idris Elba is an awesome actor. Excalibur01 (talk) 17:52, 22 November 2016 (EST)

Trailer reception+ apology
