Backlash against Michael B. Jordan as Human Torch not necessarily racist (2)
The casting of Michael B. Jordan as Johnny Storm, a.k.a. the Human Torch of the Fantastic Four, has resulted in the latest geek outcry. The Torch is a white male in the comic books; Jordan is black.
Geek outrage at casting is nothing new; look at the hubbub over Ben Affleck as Batman or Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman. But is this latest casting simply geek outrage or does it boil over into racism?
