How "woke" are movies really?

It hasn’t got one damn thing to do with “woke”

@Darren_Garrison

making Death […] black seems almost deliberately provocative.

Sure, whatever you say…

@Darren_Garrison

having Death in Sandman being anyone other than a very pale Goth is just shitty casting

…and your opinion on appropriate casting matters more than Neil Gaiman’s because…?

@Darren_Garrison

I don’t care about the physical characteristics of casting if it isn’t important to the character .

How is being pale important to Death’s character?
