Give me one non-racist reason it’s a downgrade.
>>218954137i cant, im racist
>>218954137>do something on my termsNo, fuck niggers and fuck you.
>>218954137this nigga lookin ZESTY af fr
>>218954137Because black people are hard to look at, even harder to listen to, and everybody is sick of them showing up in clearly out of place places just so that "they" can push a message that everything is diverse and everything has always been diverse and so when you notice all these new problems they can't possibly be because of diversity because we've always been diverse. None of that is racist, just factual. Black people are played out.
>>218954137It's performative
>>218954137It gives James' childhood bullying a way more villainous and racial element when Snape really was a little creep who came up with crazy ass spells like sectum sempra
>>218954137accidentally undermines voldemort's bigotry>i may by a megalomaniac tyrant who wishes for genocide and total domination, but at least i don't judge others by their skin color like muggles do!
>>218954137costume + trying to look cool & badass when that's not the point of the character
>>218954137Why does he look like a leather coat wearing Matrix reject with zippers up his ass. Shouldn't the wizards wear victorian looking shit?
>>218954137Define racist. He isn't black in the book, simple as. The character Snape, is a white English man.
>>218954137He should be 20 years older.
>>218954137I'm not racist, I support raceswaps as long as they're hispanics, both male and female.
>>218954137He is black and gay
>>218954137sheeeit dey aint dun did muh pupple drank ya feeel me gotta reprezen dawg
>>218954137Its amazing how caring about your race as an extension of your family due to genetic similarity is normal and healthy, then after WW2, an alien hostile race that wants you dead took power then brainwashed you to think its wrong, and then you have retards who post bullshit like OP and pseudoscience like antiracism. Just go extinct you traitor.
>>218954137Theyll do this but have they mafeca major blavk repro of macbeth or any of the shakespearbullshit other than othello?do the little mixed babies and blacks really dig on these race swapped characters. do homies play magic now that they have a blavk aaragorn?is this really a good casting choice for the series?i mean i guess you have to look at every series that comes out now under the lense of racial dei casting. If harry potter is british then they would still be having that dei clause in their movie projects?now that i think about it , its mostly all thosecbritish ip that are grtting race swapped and momgrelized all the time now? johnny appleseed and george washington `rent black right?
>>218954137Is this shit ever gonna stop? I was told it was going to, but every medium keeps doubling down on it.
>>218955579Thats like asking, will jewish settlers ever stop trying to murder their neighbors?No, because they are going to use violence to get what they want. So why would they, and the kosher left just decide to stop unless forced too?
>>218954137why is he wearing a tarp?anyway it's fine but I think his hair is a little unprofessional for a teacher
>>218954137>another potterslop threadkys
>>218954137It's not accurate to the story and adds unnecessary racial connotations to many of the characters actions. Wanting him to be white is actually anti-racist if you think about it.
>>218955633You'd think after so many flops and failures, they'd give it a rest. It's like goading people into hitting you, but they just call you a faggot and walk away.After a while, one would think that it's pointless.
>>218954137Alan Rickman is peak, this gguy never stood a chance.
>>218954137he's not a good actor.
>>218955813He should be ashamed of himself. Genuinely embarrassing career move and he’s almost single-handedly killing the interest of millions of people from engaging with this new adaptation.
>>218954137Blade got a reboot?
>>218954137I don't like his hair
>>218954137I have one
>>218954137There are many wonderful Black actors. They don't get cast anymore. Now it's terrible Black actors because the intention is demoralization.
not even reddit likes thisit's over harry pottah sissies
>>218954137>>218956048What I don't understand is that this particular actor is apparently a raging far-left wokeoid, yet he agreed to star in a Rowling adaptation.
>>218956179money
>>218956165Based Redditor?
>>218954137Because niggers can't have original characters unless the cast is all black so they get recasted in white roles for dei points. No worries though this will be a banger like rings of power.
>>218956048Just to preface my statement, I'm a black guy that thinks Snape should've stayed a pasty white guy. >He should be ashamed of himself. Genuinely embarrassing career moveHe should be, but he also signed a 7 season deal with HBO, it's likely he won't have to do any more work for the next 20 years if he's smart with his money. When they offered the part to him, he probably jumped at the chance for the money.
>>218954137Maybe the fact that they picked the most ooga booga haircut for him and dressed him like he's killing vampires.
>>218954137Race swapping is corny af fr. It's like just tell the story regular lmao
>>218956144>AIslop
>>218954137>Yeah, I would say I'm into techno
>>218956165Why is this censored?
>>218954137It's racist that he plays a bullied cuck who dies after killing a beloved white character
>>218956478The joke is that when reading Snape's description, those are the only words they saw.
>more swag>bigger dick>more T>literally built the pyramids (both the real Egyptians and the real Jews)Looks like a massive upgrade to me
>>218955633Stfu Paapa, you took the money.
>>218956165Color me shocked the posts haven't been removed or mass downvoted into oblivion, especially the 2nd one.
>>218956743Shalom
>Severus Ape
>>218954137doesn't look like a broken man, not even like an incel simp, he looks like a gay vampire lost in the twilight set. That costume is fucking ridiculous and not what a professor would wear, much less someone as serious as Snape
>>218954137Originally Nerdrotic's complaint wasn't that he is black but that he is "too good looking" to play Snape, called him "GQ snape". Guy is so race-cucked it's unreal.
>>218954137>the half blood prince (his skin is pale white because he's a vampire)
>>218955579b-but 4chan said woke is dead!!
>>218954137they made the villain a black guy. Very racist.
it makes harry look racist for immediately distrusting snape
>>218954137>Give me one non-racist reason it’s a downgrade.Because Alan Rickman could act circles around this mumbling dink.
>>218954137>James Potter and his white friends bullied only smart black in school>Harry constantly suspect Snape doing bad deeds (stealing) behind the scene >Harry stole drugs from black teacherUh oh... i don't think HBO thought about this one.
>>218956478Are you being retarded on purpose?
>>218954137Blackwashing white characters is racist
>>218954137>Give me one non-racist reason it’s a downgradeIts a retcon.
>>218954137>Whats 2+2? And don't say 4, give me a real answer
>>218954225You can bully black people for reasons that have nothing to do with race
>>218956165>black m a nkek
>>218954186you will LOVE niggers, and they will love you too, in every hole.
>>218954137Race swapping characters is racist.
>>218954137The actor isn't there it fit the role, isn't there for any other reason than because he is black and like others are put into a role that was not for a race other than for white people. So the racist part is all on behalf of the people feeling a need to put black and brown people in roles for the sole reason that they are black and brown.
>>218954137Very sexist to make Snape a man.
>>218954137Well Rickman was one he'll of an actor. There is an inevitable talent downgrade.
>>218962741You're just at the other end of the retard spectrum
>>218960000Quads of truth.
>>218954137What do the sacred texts say about Snapes skin color?
>>218954137Maybe name a single actor who isn't a downgrade from Alan Fucking Rickman first
>>218962836Idris Elba
>>218962865fuck...
>>218962836
>>218962865Denzel would be better if we have to pick a Black God King actor.
>>218962897I can actually see him as Snape
>>218962836Jeremy Irons?
>>218962777Trips of wisdom.
>>218962836Brad Dourif
>>218962973This nigga gets it
>>218962987>77 years oldOh no...
Bro looking like Juliette fr fr
>>218962985You're mentally ill
>>218963027Honestly, he could have done as good a job as Alan Fucking Rickman, he's just a bit too old for it, Snape needs to at least look middle aged for the story to work
>>218954137Bro doesn't have any of that incel aura Snape is supposed to have.Just looks like a zesty hood nigga.
>>218954137He isn't an ugly weirdo creep. Snape shouldn't be anything other than an disheveled off-putting mess. But this does confirm that JK has a blacked fetish.
>>218956420you are gonna lose your job to AI, keep crying.
>>218954137doesn't look anything like snape though he does look like an incel for sure.
>>218963139>mentally ill if you don't like a group of people that every society including asians and arabs hatesis being mentally sane going around handshacking every negro you see.
Is nobody gonna talk about what a little faggot the new Harry looks like? He looks like if Tina Fey were a gay little Scottish kid
>>218963276lmao
How is that remotely Snape?Even putting aside the fact that Snape is white, that guy looks nothing like Snape. He looks too young, for one. He doesn't have the contemptuous sneer or the look or superiority about him.
>>218957565I wish I could bathe like this.
My questions is, why always black? Why not a latino or asian Snape?
>>218963796>asian SnapeYou mean Indian/Pakistani Snape?
>>218954137You fags are having a meltdown all over /tv/. We told you already. Go woke, go broke. Star Wars, Star Trek, etc. all had to FAFO. And now you're finding out too.
>>218963863>Go woke, go broke. Star Warsforce awakens made 2 billion and the upcoming star wars movie with ryan gosling is prob going to make >700 mil too
>>218954137My nigga Severus decked out in Rick Owens
>>218963954um the last star wars movie came out 7 years ago and the trilogy was widely panned by critics and audiences alike. Literally everything else they've made between then and now has been a critical and commercial failure except The Mandalorian seasons 1-2 and Andor (critical success)
>>218964025I was only talking with regards to them going broke, idc how shit the movies are, they went extremely woke with force awakens and instead of going broke they made avatar and endgame level moneyand there literally hasnt been a new movie since rots so idk how youre even calling them "commercial failures"
>>218963315He looks like a stinky gorilla.
>>218962836he's still a downgrade but adam driver would've been perfect for the rolethough obviously he's too expensive for a shitty cashgrab remake
>>218964025Andor sucked. Too woke.
This casting is going to capsize the entire series.
>>218954137The character isn't black.He also look lame af
>>218954137He’s just not as described in book. Imagine theres a book with a character whose main distinguishing characteristic is he’s incredibly tall. Towering. More than head and shoulders above normal men. Then the movie is cast and it’s announced Warwick Davis is playing him. Now. You can argue that Warwick will be the best actor available for all the emotional beats. Or that I am a bigot for not wanting a little person to play the tall character from the books. These might be good arguments. There may even be truth to them. But to make them, you have to ignore that Warwick is too short for the role.The new Snape is too black.
>>218963315Alan Rickman was way too old to play book Snape (30’s), so all the characters were age shifted up. Except Dumbledore I suppose. He just remained a crochety old fuck. A bag of dusty old bones.
>>218964942Adam Driver is way too big. He’s built like a fucking fridge. Snape is meant to be a twisted, greasy little incel. A nerd.
>>218954137How does that zipper even work?
>>218954137Is this nigga wearing a fucking zipped up hoodie?
>>218966383He looks like BLADE. Be on the lookout for vampyrs!
>>218954155fpbp
>>218954137Who asked for this? Blacks really wanted the coveted role of Snape? They must have fought hard to get the part. Best actor available, I'm sure.
>>218954137looks like the new Highlander but black
>>218966223The character is clearly supposed to have stature and seniority though. He's not literally just supposed to look like some guy in his thirties.Rowling probably just decided he went to school with Harry's parents after the fact, anyway. He doesn't seem like a young man in book 1.
>>218954137>give me one non-racist reason this literal who pavement ape is a downgrade from celebrated English actor Alan RicksonYou're a special kind of retard. It was going to be a downgrade no matter how much Neanderthal dna the actor had. This is beyond a downgrade
>>218956420Go back to plebbit faggot
>>218954137Who is this?
>>218967741Some black actor off the street. They work super cheap compared to white actors. That's why they're stealing all the jobs.
>>218967741The new face of Britain
>>218961079>>218956165>his black skin black m a nyou aight reddit boy
>>218967596Neanderthals were Europeans, idiot.
>>218954137fag nigger with shitlocks....
>>218954336He's wearing Rick Owens
I’ll explain it to you all.The are making Snape a mudblood.It’s why hermione is like half and half because she me a halfblood.They are making it about white black racism instead of non-magic and magic racism. They treat them as the same thing to push The Message on our youth.They are going to really lean into the Snape thing, it’s going to be exhausting.
>>218967968Your reading comprehension skills need serious improvement. I was saying it would've been a downgrade if they were European or not.
>>218968076Snape is a halfblood though. Her Heaney is a mudblood
>>218954137Because Snape isn't a black person. It's also gonna be awkward when one of Hogwarts' only black professors turns out to be a death eater
>>218954137Downgrade is the wrong word. The word you're looking for is unnecessary. The character's appearance has already been established in popular culture via the books and movies. Making him black was a conscious choice and not done just because the showrunners were impressed with him. They did it to make a statement to say that white people can have no story, myth, folklore or culture to call their own.
Wow . you guys are super racist arent you?
>>218968818go back
>>218968833>▶sorry. I do not hang out with fascists
AYO POTTER, I'M GONA ZEST YOU WITH MY WAND
>>218954137leftists already built a new statue of their nigger god
>>218969598Two towers still wasn't enough
>>218954137The onus is on you to give a non-IDpol reason why it needed to happen, or what it adds or improves. From where I’m sitting, it seems to only be “Why’s the race matter?” when it’s a white character being turned black. Make Kingsley Shacklebolt white and then see how these same disingenuous faggots react.
>>218969625That artist is a Brit, btw, and those statues aren’t just in the US.
>>218954137Looks like those "teens" that keep brutally murdering people thousands of miles from their homes.
>>218971432>Bodycrystalball shows young teen charging at Azkaban warden with wand in hand sideway being being laid to rest with Avada Kevdavra
>>218954137Showing American race grifting into the show is a downgrade. They are also going to use it as an excuse to change everything since they dont want to do a faithful adaption. If you complain about it not being faithful you get called racist. Thats why token here got the role.
>>218960683Not on an American show.
>>218954137that nigga snape
>>218954137>tracksuit for some reason>zesty instead of autistic spreg>dreads instead of long greasy hair. Passable, but stupid>not an imposing vampire of an arrogant man but instead some small "are you serious, nigga" fry
>>218954137Now they're complaining there's too many black Snape threads. All we asked is that you not woke-ify our kino, but you cannot help yourselves. Fine. But don't fucking ask /tv/ just to sit back and take it like some bitches.
>>218954137The scene where Harry's dad and Sirius hang him from a tree is gonna be a little awkward
it's kinda autistic how /tv/ can't seem to fathom the concept of a black snapeI think he looks kinda cute in a gothic way
>>218974935Picture Blade being white instead of Wesley Snipes. Ah? You can't see that ever being real.Welcome, I've just introduced you to the culture war.
>>218975253It kinda works for snape though, and it's not like anyone on earth would be able to top Alan Rickmans performance anywaysmight as well pivot hard and give us a completely different interpertation of the character
>>218954137NIGGER IN THE HARRY POTTER ADAPTATION!I just thought you should know...
Snape is supposed to be ugly. Why can’t they cast an ugly person for the role?
>>218954137>Give me one non-racist reason it’s a downgrade.He was never going to outdo Alan Rickman's portrayal of the character thus even if he was white it would be a downgrade.
>>218954137browngrade
He looks like a teenager
>>218954225>when Snape really was a little creep who came up with crazy ass spells like sectum sempraAnd somehow a nigger can't be that?
>>218975407>uglyThey all look alike. Nobody can tell them apart. So how do you know he's ugly? If he's ugly, then are they all ugly? Logically, yes.
>>218954137You called us "chuds" and other heinous shit. Did you really think it wouldn't come back 10 x harder? #ClapBack
They know exactly what they're doing it's 100% for the free advertising from you mongoloids all over the internet literally 50% of all posts are going to be about this casting from people they don't even need to pay to spam their product
>>218954137It's not Rickmann.
>>218978309If this is the response they cultivated than more power to them. Someday they'll learn that appeasing fans is more profitable then attacking them right out the gate.
>>218954137when I look at him I don't thing>yeah he looks like the type of guy who'd be an incel I'd just think he's a black guy
snigger
>>218954137Wanting source material fidelity isn't racistChanging him is racist>>218975350>might as well pivot hard and give us a completely different interpertation of the character Sure, but might as well not call him Snape, no half measures
Why do his clothes look like muggle clothes.
>>218975935“browngrade” is the laziest shitpost in the entire thread. At least the other spergs are writing essays about source fidelity and Rickman’s ghost, you’re out here doing 2016-tier punposting.If you’re gonna melt down over casting, at least make it entertaining. This is /tv/, not your uncle’s Facebook comment section.
>>218980582>not your uncle’s Facebook comment sectionman 80% of the posts people make on this board are facebook tier unfunny
>>218954137
>>218980908avadum cablam cuh
>>218976595You KNOW its not going to be portrayed that way
>>218954195This is zeisty. That one is chuuni.
>>218954137Black people are a downgrade in everywayespecially when they are replacing characters who are canonically whiteRacism doesn't mean anything, its a shame term invented by insane communists to force people to mass miscegenate so Elite Jews can have a global plantation of mongrels to rule
>>218980908Not gonna lie, this goes hard
>>218981090I believe the new snape will be even more effeminate than the last snape, and the fact that you don't think effeminate black men are hot and zeisty is your LOSS
>>218980146Are they going to recognize, in universe, that he is black?
it do be like that mr. potter.
>>218954137did then intentionally find the darkest nigga they could?
>>218981090Genocide is also a jewish term that you use.
>all right, Neville, visualize, what scares you the most?
>>218954137Racism is a false term made up by Jews to harm and divide society. By all metrics Africans exist to the detriment of every white society they infest and only exist as a mindless voting block for liberalism.
I missed the /tv/ reaction. Was it this good?
>>218954287Unfortunately, that was basically a key tenet of Rowling's universe.
>>218956165I like how all plebbitors are coping by calling him too handsome for the role. Like Snape isn't the #1 crush for HP fangirls.
>>218955286Technically the Potter parents' cohort is only supposed to be like mid 30s.
>>218954137Because they want a black guy getting kek'd and bullied by wh*te bois in the flash back
>>218954137We haven't seen him act in this role. His previous roles weren't that expressive, just doing everything slow in a "don't fuck with me" composure.
>one non-racist reason>everyone posts a racist reasonI'll shoot you.
>>218954137That shit (literally) hair.>that's racist Black, White, Asian, IDGAF. Dreadlocks look like shit (again, literally) on anyone regardless of race.
>>218982163I think those are braids, buddy.
>>218960683Lmao.Not in Britain you can't.
>>218954137>changes the meaning of him being an "outsider" to racial marginalization>his mistreatment of students like Harry or Neville will be racial >James Potter and the Marauders bullying was that of house rivalry or personality clashes, now it's racial connotations >Snape aligned with the Death Eaters because of things like resentment or ideological confusion, but why would a black guy from a marginalized background join a supremacist movement>most importantly, Snape is described visually in the books of being a white man and the creators of this said they planned to be very faithful the biggest issues with this change is that it alters the thematic framing of key relationships and events and it introduces racial subtext the original story didn’t explicitly engage with
>>218954137>Give me one good reason why going from Alan Rickman, who was known everywhere for playing a heel extremely well, to a literal who is a downgrade.You're not even trying, are you?
>>218978309Yeah, that strategy worked out great for Ghostbusters 2016, Star Trek, Doctor Who, Star Wars, Willow, Cowboy Bebop, Indiana Jones, Marvel, DC, Jaguar, Gillette, Wheel of Time, Concord, Cracker Barrel, Assassin’s Creed, etc. You’re a fucking genius.
>>218954137Bella ramsey should play all cast
>>218973270>AmericanTurn on the BBC and then get back to me about this being exclusively an American thing.
>>218954137I can't even tell who that is meant to be.See one reason.
>>218954137Snape is supposed to be a greasy incel not a smooth based black man
>>218981196yes, all the little white girl students and all the white faculty will have crushes on him
>>218974935>>218975350>disingenuous faggot redditor
>>218954287That is basically what liberals believe. Being racist is worse than being a mass murderer.
>>218954137black guys just cant be goth
So what are the chances this show manages to get through all the books?
>>218954137Certified upgradehttps://x.com/pierrychan1984/status/2037114083594412332
>>218981887Catalogues like that don't happen with the new captchas
>>218954137because pick rel was waiting in the wings and they fucked it up by casting anyone else>good actor>good voice>has the screen gravitas necessary to play a more complex character like snape>looks exactly how snape is described/how we all pictured him back in the dayevery other casting was more or less fine, but black snape is going to sink this entire series
>>218983609virtually zero. HBO has admitted there will be multi-year waits between seasons while the main three kids are going to age out of the roles in the next 5 years
>>218954137Either his race is just ignored (best case scenario, most unlikely), or they change the details of the story and characters to make it work.
>>21898360940%It will likely lose a good majority of the audience by the third or fourth season. The whole project just doesn't feel like it will be sincere at all. Even normies have a limit for how much slop they can consume without getting sick of it.Eventually the financial return on the development cost won't be enough to justify doing it at all.
>>218954137Alan Rickman was a far superior actor.I'm also sick of looking at black people and i'm allowed to hold that opinion if i want.
I'm surprised nobody ITT has tried to argue that black men can be "pale" as is so often seen any time the powers that be cast the blackest nigger they can find to fill a white role.
>>218982408Lmfao that's nightmarish
>>218960683Yes, but in 2026? It's unlikely to say the least. If it was made in the 90s or 2000s it would be way more likely.>>218954225>>218982325This too>>218954287The story already does this though. Voldemort and Snape are both half bloods. Voldemort says he believes in blood purity but it's just lip service to cater to his central base, in reality he recognizes talent wherever it may be found as long as its loyal to him. He's more of a general wizard/magic supremacist.
>>218963796Yoo can u see an asian being snape?
>>218954137do you not realize who alan rickman was? he was one of the greatest actors of his time. anything less than that is a huge downgrade. should have been adam driver.
>>218954155This. I'm noticing on overdrive right now, blacks have been mini-idols for decades and decades and I really just want to puke over it
>>218954137Look how empty is his state compared with the sharp way Rickman looked down on Potter and others. Even in pictures of Rickman, he was fully Snape and you felt the burden of his mission and how he felt having to protect the son of a man he hated and wanted death. That's the general problem with most modern black actors. They have empty eyes and they're not the characters: they're themselves reading the lines of the characters. Snape is a very intense character, and although I could be wrong, I don't see this guy going a good job. I don't see Snape here, I see the actor and the actor has an empty stare.
It's a problem because it makes Lily racist. Only one type of woman would turn down a kang.
>>218954137 I can’t believe we are finally getting a live-action Kingdom Hearts.
That is clearly his muggle garb.
>>218954137They made a Tracy Chapman biopic?
>>218966155I will argue warwick davis is the best actor. Period.
>>218985697Hes part if the alt black weeaboo crowd. I fucking knew it.Their laying the groundwork for an entire subculture for blacks right under everyone's noses. This is the highschool uniform from cromartie highschool
