Hey, I didn't think Michael Clarke Duncan did a bad job or anything. I just don't buy the idea that there are no large white men in Hollywood. I'm wondering how you people would have reacted to a black Sulu or a native American Captain America.

That last example would actually be kind of cool.

But Sulu's race has an actual function in the setting. The Kingpin's doesn't. There has literally never been a prominent plotline in the marvel universe in which the Kingpin's race played a prominent part. It's an irrelevance. It's interesting that no one gave a shit that the Spartans in 300 were manifestly not of mediteranean origin but there is a collective monocle pop over a black guy being so uppity as to think he can play the Kingpin. Which he did very well.

To be fair here, 300 had basically nothing to do with real-world Sparta. I mean, "those dudes ain't Greek" gets trumped by them fighting armies of ninjas and troll-men and dwarves riding on freakmonsters and whatever else. Like zero percent of that story was accurate except the highest-level plot summary.

also the rampant homophobia, even though the homosexual relationships were a major part of the entire culture

And yet the film was so incredibly homoerotic pretty much all the way through.

Insert YouTube "It's Raining Men" video set to 300 footage here.
