These past few years movie studios have tried everything to innovate when adapting characters on screen, wether from books, comics or simply reboots
Snowhite, little mermaid, etc... Have all been met with criticism because the casting looks different than the characters
Yet the one movie where nobody brought up that criticism is the X-men/wolverine movies
Wolverine is a comically short character, so much so that there's an iconic combo move the X men have where they throw him like a ball
Yet his live counterpart is tall
Nobody expressed a single critique, despite there being huge differences in the adaptation, even the character is different, simply because the actor is attractive
There are plenty of other examples like Percy Jackson and Harry Potter, where the movies gained popularity despite being different from the books when it came to some characters physical appearance
Just know that if the change was negative nobody would've liked those movies
Another example I can think is the German snow white
The problem isn't the tanned skin of the actress like the comments, it's just that she's ugly af lmao, she isn't even that tanned in the movie, they probably could've gotten away with it she was actually attractive, the same way the first movie got away with the actress not looking like snow white at all, from the hair to the dress to the eye color, Snowhite is a T50 cel and this one has bright blue
People preferred a different looking character entirely than an ugly actor who looks closer to the original character
