Apparently the Silver Surfer is important. I frankly think the whole premise of a giant dude who eats planets who has a shiny guy as his herald or whatever sounds pretty silly, and adding space empires on top of it doesn't make me compelled. The backstory you described sounds too complicated to fit into this movie, so if they tried to use it they wouldn't end up making the movie, so it feels like a Catch 22 to be upset about the change.I literally don't know either storyline. That's not part of my calculus.I'm not yearning for a big tiddy silver girlfriend, Mark. My opinion is just that Marvel should try to have more female characters on screen, because, y'know, women exist. It is not vital to me that this character be a woman, and it wouldn't be enough to make me rage and cancel the movie if the silver surfer had a dong (which . . . I don't think he does, right?). I'm just inclined to assume most people who get bothered by gender swapping characters are, y'know, being misogynistic, and they should stop being bothered by women having prominent roles in things. I could talk more about why I think it's valuable to have representation, but Eric's Grandma has a no politics rule.</blockquote>
