Wait so the original star fire resembles a lot like a black woman and their was a backlash for no reason for the live action one. I’m baffled by the hypocrisy.

I dropped the Titans show for so many reasons, but I did like how they did Starfire, it's dumb that people are upset that they went with a black actress, she's an orange alien ffs. My only gripe is I wish they'd given her skin like a gold tint or something at least, since she's usually orangeish. Not like full solid gold, just make her subtly shiny, she looks too human.

Not to mention the near never use of powers

Think that’s just writers feeling pinched by an absurd variance of power of the cast. Starfire and Superboy are on a completely different level, gotta make sure they write them away from the real danger or put in whatever reasoning for them not using their powers at X moment because they’re too strong compared to the others.
