Well considering in at least one version of Black Panther he does actually die and is replaced as Panther by his sister in one and someone else in another version, you could say they are being true to the comics. But you won't admit it, so why bother talking it

Look I’m sure you’re well intentioned, but a lot of your takes come from a certain type of YouTube video where the goal of the upset commentator is to make others upset. I think you’re stuck in an algorithm. Because calling this a dad bod is just ridiculous.
No, it’s not.
If he was suppose to look Asian, they'd have probably cast an Asian actor. There is literally no reason to be this hung up on it, unless you're always searching for an angle to be angry about.
If we're going to be hung up on the comics then understand Namor's human dad is a white guy from Boston: https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Leonard_McKenzie_(Earth-616)
Namor's Ethnicity Explained: MCU vs. Comics
Namor the Submariner, Marvel's very first superhero (or antihero to be more precise) is finally getting some screen time in the new Black Panther: Wakandafictionhorizon.com
"What is Namor's ethnicity? In the comics, Namor is stated to be a son of a human sailor and Atlantean princess which would make him a part of the Mermanus race. He was usually depicted as being of Asian ethnicity due to his physical features."
"Namor was depicted as having Asian features in the comics. He looks different than the rest of the Atlanteans due to being part human. Instead of having blue skin like most other Atlanteans, he has pale skin combined with slightly slanted eyes and dark hair. He also has pointy ears and wings on his ankles. So in technical terms, we can’t say that he is Asian. He is obviously a part of an altogether different race of aquatic superhumans. But to say that he doesn’t look Asian in the comics would be wrong."
He’s not “supposed” to look like any particular race, as the filmmakers have creative liberty and can cast whoever they want.
