Give it a shot at least one episode.
Nick Fury was always white back then, but this version of him turned out well too.
I wholeheartedly agree that an actor can be given a role different from their colour, but only if they're truly suited for the role. I don't believe Samuel Jackson was cast as Nick Fury for diversity reasons, especially given he was introduced before Disney brought the Marvel Cinematic Universe and began pandering it with diversity. i believe Samuel Jackson was chosen for the role because he had the badass get-shit-done awesome attitude that Nick Fury was known for.
Severus Snape however, he was clearly established as a white person with sullen and pale features akin to a white person. There has only been a few Harry Potter characters whose appearance are left open enough to be adaptable, such as Hermione being played by a coloured person, that works because her skin was never clearly mentioned in the books. But Snape was clearly described as sullen, pale and vamperic-like.
Having a black person play a role that's initially white, I can accept, but Snape is regarded white to the point having a black actor play him feels more unnecessary pandering. It's especially hurtful if the TV series are trying to be more book-accurate than the movies.
Snape played by a black person would just make everyone seem racist around him when Snape was just not that liked to begin with.
LOL.
- Harry assumed Snape was going to steal the stone because he simply didn't trust him. To Harry it was because Snape was rather unfair to him and he behaved in a way that seemed suspicious. His reasoning was weak and turns out he was wrong, but it would look even more "bad" if a white boy accused a black man of crime.
- Snape did indeed sneak around at night, even confronted Professor Quirinus Quirrell given the history the two shared together.
- Snape was a Death Eater, granted Death Eaters were more Wizard Nazi's and he was still loyal to Albus Dumbledore.
- James Potter bullied Snape when they were kids. Bullying is wrong in general, but James was never depicted as racist. If the Marauders were all played by white kids picking on a black kid, that'll just make it look worse than it actually was in the books.
Because Nintendo cares about their franchises deeply.
Almost all of their first party games are received well.
SEGA wasn't like that but now thankfully they are heading into that direction.

They are heading into that direction... but Sega cares about as much as Sammy will let them. If Sega truly cared, they would at least keep take care of their IPs as well as Nintendo does to theirs.
Patience. There are still network bug that needs to be addressed.
Just like what Miyamoto said,
Whoops ... wrong picture. It should be this one:
It's a misatributted quote actually but still the point remains.
He's right. Ever since Sonic '06. There has been time Sonic Team straight up announce they need to stall the release date for more time with development of a Sonic game and fans are appreciative about it.
I'm just missing out on Rumble content because I don't have the kind of phone or device to play it on.
SEGA: Sonic IP growing with new fans and Sonic x Shadow Generations enjoyed “strong sales”

I wonder what's next for them?
Some fans believe Sonic Team may re-release a deluxe edition of Frontiers for Switch 2 and modern consoles.
As long as it's offered as a DLC for Steam over making me buy the
same game again (going as far as delisting the original game), I don't mind.
