For some reason that picture gives me a 70s vibe for the character, figures people are bitching about it though. As far as I know, Domino's actual ethnicity has never come up in the comics and reactions would be way worse if they tried to make a black actress look like comic-Domino.
I'm not certain they can actually use Preston since she's a relatively new character. I know there was a rumor a few years ago that Fox automatically gets the rights to any new mutants created, but Preston's a cyborg SHIELD agent so I don't know which studio would get her.

Ah, good point, she was a SHIELD agent. Though I guess they could've winged it and made her be part of another organization. HAMMER maybe? Oh well.

Things to give a shit about in Deadpool 2
1. Will it be funny
2. Will the action be sufficiently awesome.
3. Will Deadpool be portrayed accurately.
Anything else is just nit picking and looking for shit to bitch about, and this is coming from someone who uses the name on this board. That practically makes me an expert on the subject.
(I'm actually sorta shocked @Feline Darkmage hasn't tagged me in here yet. you're slipping friendo)

At this point we should just tell the nerds a wizard changed the race of a comic book character.
Also on an unrelated note the chick playing her is hot.

My first thought was "Domino? They mean Vitiligo?" And then I didn't say it because it felt like a lazy joke.
Honestly I've never even heard of Domino before, so I don't really have a horse in this race. Couldn't care less personally except for the fact that it's in Deadpool 2 and I really liked Deadpool. So I agree that as long as the movie turns out as great as the first one, you shouldn't get too worked up a darkie being in your precious franchise.
But I also actually understand being upset about this change more than I understand some of the other complaints that have happened about race recently, if only because her name ties so perfectly to her look. Pasty white girl with a black dot. Domino. Okay. I mean it makes sense to me, and there's no real reason to mess with that particular formula except as pandering, and pandering is always insulting to the viewers intelligence (even more so to the people being pandered to).
When they made spiderman black, I didn't get why everyone was freaking out because spiderman's character is basically already black. He's a wise cracking street kid trying to do better than where he came from, it's a good fit. Likewise, most of the time the race of a character means a lot less than the iconic imagery tied to them. If Hugh Jackman gets too old, and they cast an arab guy in the role because he perfectly nails the part, my bigger question will be "But does he still have claws and that hair and a temper?" Because those things are more relevant to him than being Canadian. But if they rebooted the Hulk and made him turn purple instead of green, it wouldn't sit well with people because that's not his image, that's not what the character looks like. Part of what people expected to see when they hear that name wouldn't be there, and that's a constant distraction in a visual medium.
Maybe I'm missing something, because again, I know nothing about this character. Maybe she's got a story so interesting I'd forget about her appearance entirely. But as an outsider, her look is pretty striking, and it seems like that's a part of her appeal.
It's not worth boycotting the movie or waging an internet war on or anything, but it is kinda insulting to have something so visually distinct changed by a filmmaker just because they want to be 2woke4u.
It's also just a movie though. If you don't like it, get a few hundred million together and make your own.

Eh, to be fair to the comic fans (particularly Marvel fans), I've seen a lot of anger because it has a habit of bleeding back into the source material. Take Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury in the MCU for example. He's based on Ultimate Marvel's Nick Fury but after the movie came out they killed off the normal universe's Nick Fury to replace him with his son who looks like Samuel L. Jackson but acts nothing like Nick Fury. So they lost a major character for a Samuel L. Jackson clone and it confuses any newcomers because he's not even like how he is in the movies.
They never made Peter Parker black. What Marvel has been doing is flirting with the idea of killing him off for a blander half-black middle class kid who goes to a boarding school and cooed after by other superheroes as they believe Miles Morales is more relatable due to his skin color. That happens to come from a parallel universe where Peter did die. Ignoring /pol/ idiots, the problem is trying to get rid who's been their #1 for decades and still is.

And therein lies the problem. The creators assume the audience can't see past skin color and choose instead to do the equivalent of talking down to them.

"You can replace white guys with black dudes all you want if they're good or cool enough and only racists will care, but nobody really likes black chicks, especially black dudes"
He's a mulatto married to a white girl

This is particularly retarded because implying Deapool then is just to piss off fans and its working.
The usual SJW move is not just to create liberal media, I wouldn't have a problem with that, but what they do is either kill off the conservative/"alt-right" media in the process with all the intention or either use their bodies to move like some brain controlling fungus.
And god help you if you imply they could use another character like Torrun (Thor's daughter) or explore the past of Thor's mother, no, they have to make Thor a woman and then laugh at the face of all the mysogynistic alt-righters who complaint that they lost their favorite character of decades just for some last minute replacement, because their end-game is not to spread the liberal values, is to ensure liberal values are the only ones avaliable.

*in lispy beta male voice* And here we see yet another example of the SJW agenda in comic books. Deadpool's main hoe is now a black woman and it's really making my aspergers flare up. Can't we get a gay jewish translesbian heroine from the comics for once? I'll have you know that in Rocket Raccoon #122 there was an entire planet of such characters in the Zarkon system and furthermore-

Domino is a pretty minor character overall. I mean she's been around a long time and in quite a few comics, but that doesn't mean much in the X-end of the Marvel universe. She's never been a stand out character (imo anyway.)
I think it would have been cool to see her the way she looks in the comics, and if I had my way everything in comic movies would be as close to 100% accurate to the source material as possible. However that's never been the case, and never will. So I can either accept that and watch and possibly enjoy the movie, or reeeeeeeeeeeeee into the void about it.
