Looks like Paramount is trying their hand at race swapping (April O'Neil). Next movie features a black Spock.

I was being sarcastic because Trek is Paramount franchise. Just took a random character and "speculated" it was the next to be converted.
They do realise that Spock is a light green don't they? Vulcan blood is based on copper resulting in many shades of green , just like the Romulans. I'm talking the original series here,
Every time I hear about stuff like this, I think of certain cultures quacking about cultural appropriation. My next thought is ... how much have these cultures appropriated from Caucasian cultures? Answer: a fucking lot.
Annnnddd the decades old TMNT franchise is about to go back into the sewer, never to be heard from again. Go woke, get flushed.
I excused that for three reasons.
One, Vulcan is a desert planet with a thinner atmosphere than Earth, so it made sense for some inhabitants to have much darker skin than others.
Two, Tim Russ was a lifelong Trekkie. I love seeing ascended fanboys like that.
Three, Tim Russ was phenomenal in the role. As weak as Voyager could be, he was always at least watchable.
However, that was Tuvok. Not Spock. Spock was never dark-skinned.
Thus going back to the original point: If they want diversity, they can make their own damn characters.
He was the only interesting character on that show at first. Seven of Nine took that title once she appeared.
They should have blown Neelix, Harry Kim, and that Maqui guy out the airlock by the end of the first season.
I could never understand how Voyager got thrown light years but a group of aliens could take over the ship and operate the controls like they'd been doing it every day...
Precisely. There are dark and light skinned Klingons as well. Plenty of room to play with, without reassigning a known.
What the hell is so hard about that? New character, new name, whatever you want it to look like. Probably nobody except the die hard fans would be bitching because "April is AWOL!"
And the Ginger genocide in franchises continues
