Unnecessary Change in Popular Characters

     So this is a conversation that may, on the surface, seem to be an about face on a stance I have taken in the past, and will continue to take: Changing an established "non-diverse" character into a "diverse" one for no other reason than to show off how diverse a creator/publisher/company is. There are ways to change an established character to fit a "more diverse" classification so as to not disturb the fan base.

It was awesome to be able to interview Terrance Zdunich and his writing partner Saar Hendelman. I have been a fan of Terrance's work since Repo! The Genetic Opera. With everything he has released since my fondness for his craft, and subsequently Saar's, grows deeper.
My apologies for the first 8 minutes of mediocre audio, sometimes there are too many record buttons to keep track of. I promise the quality gets much better.
I chose to tag team this interview with my co-host from Eclectica Cafe, Chance.

Join the conversation in the comments section. Tell Me what Chance and I did wrong, or right.
