Last week Fox finally announced the quartet of actors who will be playing the Fantastic Four in that franchise's long-awaited reboot. By all rights, it should have been a good day for fans of the F4, if only because it's nice to have hard proof that Fox is finally doing something with the property again. Unfortunately, and despite the fact that this particular casting choice had been strongly rumored for months, the furor over the decision to cast Michael B. Jordan as Johnny Storm has drowned out pretty much everything else connected to the reboot. A lot of fans are quite firmly and loudly opposed to the idea of having a black actor portray a character who has traditionally always been portrayed as white. This seemed like a good time to address that controversy, as well as the larger issues of race and diversity when it comes to superheroes. Really, what does the Human Torch's race matter?
