詹姆士昆恩實在滿怒的 針對racist
說得很中肯
迪士尼童星出身的19歲女星辛蒂亞（Zendaya），日前被爆出將接演最新蜘蛛人獨立電影《
蜘蛛人：返校日》（Spider-Man: Homecoming）中的「蜘蛛人」彼得帕克女友「瑪莉珍」一
角，引發熱議。由於過去飾演「瑪莉珍」一角的克絲汀鄧斯特形象太過深植人心，加上她原
本在漫畫裡面就是一位白人女孩，因此現在身為非裔美國人的辛蒂亞要接下這個角色，就引
發部份人士的不滿，不滿怎麼能夠讓一位「有色人種」來詮釋明明就是白人的瑪莉珍。對此
，《星際異攻隊》導演詹姆士昆恩（James Gunn）就在推特表示，這些無聊的酸民真的是「
吃飽太閒」。
詹姆士昆恩在18日被網友在推特問及對於新的瑪莉珍成了非裔美國人有什麼感想時，他回答
：「如果你是在抱怨瑪莉珍的種族的話，那你真的是吃飽太閒」，挺身而出為辛蒂亞說話，
也顯示出他認為一個人的膚色根本不影響他在戲中所扮演的角色。
不僅如此，詹姆士昆恩事後更在自己的臉書上，PO出一篇長文來探討這個問題，他表示自
己可以理解當人們發現自己喜歡的漫畫角色在被改編成電影時，會對他們與原本有所出入
的設定感到十分不滿，因為他自己就很討厭在過去的蝙蝠俠電影裡，小丑被揭露根本就是
謀殺布魯斯韋恩父母的兇手的這個設定，但是他並不認為一個人的膚色會對於他所接演的
角色造成什麼影響，詹姆士昆恩就舉例，當初麥可B喬丹成了《驚奇4超人》中的黑色版「
霹靂火」時，他就十分不能理解大家反對的原因，因為霹靂火強尼的膚色不同了，但這個
角色的個性仍被麥可B喬丹詮釋得與原本的沒甚麼差別。
詹姆士昆恩強調，自己說這些並不是要跳出來幫忙確定辛蒂亞就是下一個瑪莉珍，畢竟他也
根本不清楚到底會是如何，而在這個消息傳出後，他在自己的推特上收到了不少留言在討論
此事，大部份都是正面的回應，只有少數因為瑪莉珍與漫畫裡長得不一樣了而不認同，詹姆
士昆恩就表示：「對我來說，如果一個角色的屬性是由他們的膚色、髮色來決定的，那他就
太糟糕又太膚淺了；至於讓瑪莉珍成為瑪莉珍的，只不過是她有趣的女性特質而已，不管哪
個女演原來演，有抓到這個精髓一定就能演得很好」，透露自己認為辛蒂亞就十分符合這個
角色的特質，並認為如果他們要繼續製作充滿白人的超級英雄電影，只會讓電影與現實更加
背道而馳，何不抱持開放的心態來看，這樣的改變會為我們帶來怎樣的意外驚喜呢？

People get upset when something they consider intrinsic to a comic book
character changes when adapted for a film. I get this. There are movies I
dislike because I think there's a basic misunderstanding of the story or the
character when the comic is transferred to film (I still hate how in the
first Batman movie the Joker was revealed as the murderer of Bruce Wayne's
parents, for instance.)
That said, I do not believe a character is the color of his or her skin. When
Michael B Jordan was cast as Johnny Storm I didn't understand the uproar. The
primary characteristic of Johnny was not, to me, that he was white, or that
he had blonde hair, but that he was a fiery, funny, big-mouthed braggart of a
hero. I was happy that he was going to be played by one of the finest and
most charming young actors out there.
Yesterday, a rumor broke out that the character of Mary Jane was being played
by a young black woman, Zendaya, and all hell broke out on the Internet
(again). I tweeted that if people find themselves complaining about Mary
Jane's ethnicity they have lives that are too good. (For those of you who
think this means I'm confirming that Zendaya IS playing MJ, realize that
although I've read the Spidey script, and I've met the actress in question, I
have no idea what her role is. There's a good chance someone told me at one
time or another, but, if so, I can't remember. I'm going to find out when I
go into Marvel this afternoon, but I feel free to speak until that time
because it's about the concept about a black woman playing Mary Jane, not the
actuality or hypothesis of it.)
I got a thousand or so responses to my tweet. Most of them were positive.
Some folks disagreed - they thought the character should look like what she
looks like in the comics - but were thoughtful. And a handful were flat out
racist.
I can't respond to the racists - I'm not ever going to change their minds.
But for the thoughtful majority of you out there:
For me, if a character's primary attribute - the thing that makes them iconic
- is the color of their skin, or their hair color, frankly, that character is
shallow and sucks. For me, what makes MJ MJ is her alpha female playfulness,
and if the actress captures that, then she'll work. And, for the record, I
think Zendaya even matches what I think of as MJ's primary physical
characteristics - she's a tall, thin model - much more so than actresses have
in the past.
Whatever the case, if we're going to continue to make movies based on the
almost all white heroes and supporting characters from the comics of the last
century, we're going to have to get used to them being more reflective of our
diverse present world. Perhaps we can be open to the idea that, although
someone may not initially match how we personally conceive a character, we
can be - and often are - happily surprised.
