Should’ve been a dark skin brotha

We ain't doing this. No.

Don't let LSA and teenagers on Twitter make you downplay the talent.

Where did I downplay his talent?

 

[RawDogBandit]

Too me, this is the perfect cast.
The tone. The demeanor. The build(nh). Especially from Rebel Ridge was a excellent casting for John Stewart

And as a darkskin African America brotha from the south. I’m cool with it. I’m not trying to hear the colorism shyt. Majority of them sound like faux progressives at this point

I can see him holding the role for at least 5/6 years before it’s passed on. He’s too great of an actor to stay in comic book films

I'm not saying you did but that's where statements like that can lead to. Forget all that.

There's only so many leading Black male actors. Whether it's film or TV, we gotta have their back.

 

[AnonymityX1000]

Rebel Ridge, Brothers, M Night's Old and Genius: MLK/X. He's got a strong dramatic resume so far, try and check out his stuff.

Got a lot going on at the moment. But definitely will.

Apparently they're bringing back the black lightning series in comics for 5 books. I expect to hear more of that in the DCCU.

If so and milestone/image comes back, I'll be transitioning over to DC. Marvel is ass.

Yup. Mentioned it earlier that this was the obvious play. Just gotta hit a home run with this show.

And with Gunn being a comic head with past/other people’s trial and error to learn from, he’ll have a better idea of what to do with the character than how poorly Marvel was stumbling into success with T’Challa’s popularity even before Chadwick died.

Yea, does his “light-skinnedness” make me think I’m looking at Blake Griffin, vitalgo Michael Jackson or RDJ in Tropic Thunder? Lmao no.

So of all the issues that’s plagued black male make-believe characters (especially superheroes), being pressed about this one’s skin tone or nationality is whatever.

His best stuff was in that Barry Jenkins Underground Railroad right?

Think he voices Mufasa later this year.

I almost thought this was a real tweet based on the fact she's in the scoop game
