Hey Realists! Its the holiday season and its the time for cheer and joy and love and peace on earth. We could use some of that. We lost a LOT of our favorite folk famous or otherwise due mainly to COVID-19 this year. However, others were taken from us too soon for other reasons. One of those folks was actor Chadwick Boseman. Known and loved for his roles in MANY movies, He's arguably more emotionally known for his starring role in the big budget  MCU movie Black Panther (which made billions).The shock and timing of his passing created an EXTREMELY visceral response to the possibility of recasting his role with another actor. NO ONE wanted to recast the role of T'Challa. Not even Disney apparently.  I have to admit, now that MY emotional state is a little more level concerning Mr. Boseman's demise, I'm beginning to think, "Chadwick Boseman passed away. NOT T'Challa!"  So why this kind of defiance over replacing a role? It's been done LOTS of times. When stars pass the role is generally recast. When a star DIES, the role is generally recast. Did Chadwick have that much of an impact on us in the role collectively? And do we think his performance as a particular character in 4 movies will NEVER be rivaled? Imma call baloney and shenanigans on that one. Join me this Saturday at NOON Alaska time as me and a special guest chop it up over this dilema. Stay real, Realists!
