I absolutely remember people being mad about the first one.

The others not so much. The fantasy movies don't really matter the same way as a historical movie about slavery does. The fantasy characters are even gender swapped without a problem at conventions.

And yes that means the racists who got mad about Ariel are dumb.

Yeah Marvel characters' identities don't usually feel important. Nick Fury was race swapped for the movies and it was well-received.

I think people were mad about the avatar one or whatever that movie is.
