I guess it's not impossible or unreasonable. But again, if we remade Friday, with Vince Vaughn and Trace Adkins in a trailer park instead of the hood, would that film be destroyed out of hand and should it be? I mean, my god typing that made me cringe. But why? Friday isn't inherently about blackness yet when you call a movie "Friday" you have expectations. If it's two guys in a trailer park who have their crazy day and get high it's received differently
And I'll say this, this would have been much better received if it was peter venkeman or even the damn secretary recruiting and training these girls. People ate up the last Indiana jones movie despite it being awful and made Star Wars the biggest grossing movie ever not because it's the best movie ever but because, hey there's Han and chewy!.
I haven't read deep into this but knowing what I know about nerd culture, I'm willing to be a lot of people had issues they changed costume. That's not sexist, it's not anything other than a slavish devotion to nostalgia.
