Ok, I probably am the LAST person who should be saying this, but let's wait and see. RipCord is one of those Characters that could be black or white. Other than that thing with Candy (the Balloon Bear) getting him into trouble, and switching places with Zartan for a while, they never did develop his Character too much in the Comics. If they don't let Wayans play him like one of his characters in his Comedies but let him kinda be the joker in the bunch, it might not turn out too bad! Not too serious, but not too much comic Relief.....it could work!
Would anyone be upset if they got, oh, say, Edward Norton to play Doc? Ok, he's not Black, but I could totally see him bringing the character to life. Some of the Characters ethnicities need to stay intact (Like RoadBlock, Gung Ho, Zap(maybe), Tunnel Rat, StormShadow) but others could use a little "flair" like Grunt, Breaker, Recondo or repeater. I could totally see an Austrailian or Brazilian Recondo, a Filipino Shipwreck, Flash with a bad Italian/ Brooklyn Accent. After all we have an Arabic (?) Breaker.....let's wait and see what Wayans can do with the Character.....if he acts goofy and stupid like he's in "Don't be a Menace...", then yeah, I'll save my $8.00 and wait for it on DVD!
