Johnny Depp playing Tonto!!

Johnny Depp playing Tonto!!

In today’s environment of political correctness I would not have been surprised if Tonto would have been portrayed as a woman who was 1/3 Black, 1/3 Cherokee Indian and 1/3 Hispanic! In of course lets through in being bi-sexual! The Lone Ranger would be not only a ranger but an ex Confederate Soldier who is an ex-slave owner and a serious racist and misogynist! He is also wrestling with his own sexuality because of some of the deep relationships he had with other soldiers in his unit during the war. The movie would be about the redemption of the Lone Ranger as his relationship with Tonto erases his racist and misogynist ways! She also awaking’s his own bi-sexuality after arranging a 3 way with one of her former male lovers who is a half white half black ex-slave! As the movie comes to an end the Lone Ranger and Tonto have bought a way station along the new rail system that now goes coast to coast! Also servicing the Pony Express and stage coaches moving people and payrolls from St. Louis to Albuquerque! Leaving multiple possibilities for sequels that can turn into a franchise just like the Pirates of the Caribbean! Getting back to Johnny Depp playing Tonto? Really what I see from the trailers is Depp, playing Jack Sparrow playing Tonto! It appears his role is to supply comic relief in what could have been an excellent movie with a real Indian actor.  Portraying Tonto as a strong person who partners with and uses the Lone Ranger to achieve his revenge instead of acting like an Indian Steppin Fetchit!  There would be a struggle throughout the movie as to who is the alpha male in this partnership! Together they both are able to reach a conclusion and closure to their issues that brought them together in the first place!  Regardless of what activity they are involved with it always turns into a competition which at time allows the bad guys to get away! Who is the best shooter, tracker, horseman, fighter and don’t forget lover! This would continue on in the many sequels that they all would hope for!
