詹姆士昆恩实在满怒的 针对racist
说得很中肯
迪士尼童星出身的19岁女星辛蒂亚（Zendaya），日前被爆出将接演最新蜘蛛人独立电影《
蜘蛛人：返校日》（Spider-Man: Homecoming）中的“蜘蛛人”彼得帕克女友“玛莉珍”一
角，引发热议。由于过去饰演“玛莉珍”一角的克丝汀邓斯特形象太过深植人心，加上她原
本在漫画里面就是一位白人女孩，因此现在身为非裔美国人的辛蒂亚要接下这个角色，就引
发部份人士的不满，不满怎么能够让一位“有色人种”来诠释明明就是白人的玛莉珍。对此
，《星际异攻队》导演詹姆士昆恩（James Gunn）就在推特表示，这些无聊的酸民真的是“
吃饱太闲”。
詹姆士昆恩在18日被网友在推特问及对于新的玛莉珍成了非裔美国人有什么感想时，他回答
：“如果你是在抱怨玛莉珍的种族的话，那你真的是吃饱太闲”，挺身而出为辛蒂亚说话，
也显示出他认为一个人的肤色根本不影响他在戏中所扮演的角色。
不仅如此，詹姆士昆恩事后更在自己的脸书上，PO出一篇长文来探讨这个问题，他表示自
己可以理解当人们发现自己喜欢的漫画角色在被改编成电影时，会对他们与原本有所出入
的设定感到十分不满，因为他自己就很讨厌在过去的蝙蝠侠电影里，小丑被揭露根本就是
谋杀布鲁斯韦恩父母的凶手的这个设定，但是他并不认为一个人的肤色会对于他所接演的
角色造成什么影响，詹姆士昆恩就举例，当初麦可B乔丹成了《惊奇4超人》中的黑色版“
霹雳火”时，他就十分不能理解大家反对的原因，因为霹雳火强尼的肤色不同了，但这个
角色的个性仍被麦可B乔丹诠释得与原本的没什么差别。
詹姆士昆恩强调，自己说这些并不是要跳出来帮忙确定辛蒂亚就是下一个玛莉珍，毕竟他也
根本不清楚到底会是如何，而在这个消息传出后，他在自己的推特上收到了不少留言在讨论
此事，大部份都是正面的回应，只有少数因为玛莉珍与漫画里长得不一样了而不认同，詹姆
士昆恩就表示：“对我来说，如果一个角色的属性是由他们的肤色、发色来决定的，那他就
太糟糕又太肤浅了；至于让玛莉珍成为玛莉珍的，只不过是她有趣的女性特质而已，不管哪
个女演原来演，有抓到这个精髓一定就能演得很好”，透露自己认为辛蒂亚就十分符合这个
角色的特质，并认为如果他们要继续制作充满白人的超级英雄电影，只会让电影与现实更加
背道而驰，何不抱持开放的心态来看，这样的改变会为我们带来怎样的意外惊喜呢？
詹姆士昆恩脸书全文：
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.
