Black Excellence: Turns out, Sue Storm might be the adopted one

[Rev]

I don't see why Reg Cathey doesn't do more voiceover work. He has one of the best villainy type voices out there.

Why can't we have both?

We should be fighting for every fukking centimeter...lets have out cake and eat it to for once. Hollywood execs, and fukking internet dorks, aren't complaining about the lack of diversity that is typical in big budget movies, so why should we shed tears over this?

So far in terms of big budget black heroes we got what? That Will Smith movie and that's about it. You're absolutely right tho man. It had gotten better at one point when will smith was the go to summer movie guy but besides him it's almost as if it's Samuel l Jackson in a supporting role and the quota has been met. Problem is, the people in control have no incentive to change that. No amount of outrage and marching is going to make a studio drop 200 mil on a project unless they want to do it themselves or if some of Hollywood's black elite pool resources together to make it happen. Sadly it seems like they're happy with Tyler Perry representing black cinema.

Good.

Sick of dorks moaning about this, while when the reverse happens, you don't hear a peep.

Didn't hear a peep from none of these nikkas when Bane was made white instead of hispanic

you mean Liam neeson playing Liam neeson except on the opposite side of the law

THIS!!!!!!!! There is enough black characters in both Marvel & DC comics that they could avoid the controversy of changing the race of these characters in movies & TV shows, by just using actual black characters from the comics.

Controversy? What controversy? You mean geeks and whiny neckbeards online who throw temper tantrums through their keyboards? The same ones who will still pay to see the film?

Fox knows what to expect here. If they were scared about the internet backlash they never would have cast MBJ in the first place.

That Gods of Egypt film is almost entirely whitewashed. I would like to see more Black characters adapted too, but I can't be bothered by this

Moses being played by a white man
El Cid being played by that same white man
Ben Hur being played by that same white man
Egyptians being played white people including Pharaoh being played by Yul Brenner, a freaking Russian

He is still a white-hispanic. I do remember reading some backlash about making him European and not South American

No........Tom Hardy is a British actor. Bane is from the Caribbean.

Bane was born in the fictional Caribbean Republic of Santa Prisca, in a prison called Peña Dura ("Hard Rock").

Santa Prisca is a small island located in the northern Caribbean and shows strong influences from the period of Spanish colonialism, the introduction of African slaves, and its prominent role in the illegal drug trade.

So if Santa Prisca were a real place in the northern Caribbean, it'll be an island region that also includes the Bahamas, the Cayman Islands and the Turks and Caicos Islands.

FF casts a black guy to play a white comic book character, you guys complain. But you had no problem with some lily white boy from England playing somebody who's basically supposed to be Cuban

I don't care about comic book characters being white-washed or black-washed.

I only care if race is an important part to the character.

Spiderman can be white, black, asian, puerto rican. It doesn't matter.
Thor however....has to be White. And.....Black Panther has to be Black.

As far as movies on Ancient civilizations....the subject is too retarded to even entertain man. Hollywood is full of a$$holes. Making an movie set in Egypt with white actors is like making a movie set in Imperial China with Arab actors. Its completely inaccurate and frankly, dishonest.

There are still white cubans. White folks from one region playing white folks from another. It was the accent that some people had a problem with.
