Examples:

• [Hated] Severus Snape (Harry Potter) – As far as I know, Paapa is one of the few nonwhite actors cast in the series, and he plays Snape. In the books, Harry assumes Snape is evil just from how he looks (the only black man in Hogwarts), and later in the story, Snape does lots of messed-up things like holding grudges against childhood rivals, bullying very young children, and harassing Harry for minor inconveniences. Not only that, but James Potter now looks like a horrible racist because of the scene where he hangs Snape from his feet and pants him in front of a crowd, which is a one-to-one of a public lynching. Not only that, but the series could also be promoting white victimhood by having Snape join the Harry Potter version of the Nazis and even calling a white woman a racial slur. The fact that it's believed a black person will also play Voldemort makes this even worse. The most egregious thing is that they're going to have to convince me that Paapa Essiedu is ugly.
• [Loved] Mark and Debbie Greyson (Invincible) – Mark and Debbie in the show are Koreans; it works great in the series because Mark is trying to stop an alien invasion of Earth. Koreans have a long history of dealing with imperialism and colonization, with the peninsula still feeling the effects of Japanese colonialism. Nolan also states his reason for going to Earth was to find a species to breed with, so the Viltrumites could reproduce their population. Not only do many Asian women have to deal with constant fetishization by Westerners, but many Korean women were used as sex slaves by Japanese colonizers. Which would add more to Mark and Debbie's reactions to Nolan calling Debbie a "pet,"
• [Loved] Tech Jacket (Invincible) – Kirkman himself stated that if they faithfully adapted Tech Jacket, he'd just be a clone of Mark. By reimagining the role as Zoey, a teenage girl, Kirkman can create a protagonist with a distinct voice, different struggles, and a fresh dynamic
