Did anyone bat an eye when Nick Fury was race swapped?

It seems like no one cared. Was it just because it was Samuel L. Jackson? Maybe I didn’t care enough to notice people were caring.

I mostly agree with you, though. Look at a character like Magneto; being a Holocaust survivor is a HUGE part of his character and story.

Legitimate question: would a black Magneto ( probably with a traumatic past related to Civil Rights/Jim Crow/etc) work?

For most people watching the MCU, Samuel L Jackson is the only Nick Fury they've ever known.

And yes, you could probably do a Magneto with that backstory, comics do stuff like that all the time. The difference would be he'd likely have a different IRL name but still have the same powers as Magneto and take on the name Magneto.
