In the Ender's Game movie, the second in command of the combat school, Major Anderson, is a Black female. In the book, Major Anderson was a White man.
Other characters are Africanized, too.
White men are replaceable when it serves the multicultural and feminist fraud.
BS.

I was surprised when a younger gay guy whom I occasionally chat online with declared that he would be boycotting Ender's Game due to Orson Scott Card's homophobic views. I was surprised because he is always the first person I know to chew out feminists and social justice warriors for their distortion of reality to suit their needs.
When I pointed out the Ender's Game and its sequels were important for predicting social media and its political applications, and noted that he should never drive on the Autobahn or drive a Volkswagen because Hitler designed both, he became a little hostile. When I quoted one of his own posts about difference of views not making somebody evil, he quieted down.
Strange how much a person will cling to a narrative even after they have rejected much of its accompanying message.

It's okay - RuPaul is going to play Wonder Woman in the upcoming movie.
The token multiculturalism in that movie certainly amused me, but I couldn't remember much from the book (which I read when I was very young).
Where the film really jumped the shark for me was when it wanted me to feel sad about the extermination of a species of alien bugs who started the whole damn intergalactic war in the first place.
I sat there in the theater thinking that the minds who brought me this movie were card-carrying members of The Most Foolish People on the Planet.
Personally, I would have shot that queen, smashed that egg, gone home, and slept like a baby. Roll credits.
I had only just read the book a few months ago and the film's turning point that you reacted to is quite faithful to the original story. Ender's switch from general to penitent is right there in the text, the culmination of his stranger character: brilliant in battle but terrified of becoming a killer like his brother. So you can blame Orson Scott Card!
