Nah. Storm is Black African. She needs to be somewhere between the complexion of the girl on the left with Meagan Good being the lightest she should be and even then, Meagan is cutting it close. Ideally, the girl on the left has the right complexion. Girls that look like Paula Patton need not apply :camby:

In the comics, Storm's father is a Black American, and her mother is a Kenyan. She was born in the US (NYC) and then grew up in Egypt and Kenya.

That's her original background, at least.

The fact folks don't understand the importance of the shorty actually being brown/darker skin highlights how much damage that weak ass Halle Berry portrayal did in terms of what fans deem to be an acceptable choice :pachaha:

It's like the character has become a a prop for insert person here's favorite black actress - regardless of their skin tone.

Some of ya'll in here recommending lesbians who shave their eyebrows not because of alopecia, but for the aesthetic. FOH :mjlol:

This is the most iconic black female superhero of all time. They gotta get this perfect, especially in the social media era.
Superman isn't supposed to be like Christopher Reeves either but there seems to be power in being the first person to take the role in a major film.
I feel like general non comicbook audiences see her as the template now.
It's also why Blade will always have some wesley snipes influence. they not going back to a dude in a green coat and disco glasses carrying around wooden stakes.

It's too late, judging by the girl they cast as storm in apocalyse. Hollywood has decided storm is to be played by a Halle Berry Type.
Expect some light skinned girl to be cast in the role. bet money on it. If it wasn't for spiderman they would've absolutely cast Zendaya to play storm.

NAH MCU DEFINITELY
WONT BE CASTING A LIGHT SKINNED WOMAN.

We'll see. MCU in the beginning was casting people as if pulled directly from the comics, but lately they've been trying to just get whatever popular celeb campaigns hardest for the role. because everybody wants to be in the MCU now. I wouldn't be surprised if they cast somebody like Storm Reid in the role

Fox execs never cared about complexion. I've seen plenty of movies and shows where they got two dark skinned parents raising some light skinned babies and vice versa.
Cosby show was on fox. We supposed to believe Heathcliff and Claire huxtuble had a baby that looks like Lisa Bonet? they would absolutely cast a dark skin woman to play a younger Halle if they had wanted to,

This is true. It’s just that Wesley owned that role and forced that type of shift because he was that good.

Halle ain’t do none of that with Storm, so it’s annoying. A half white woman playing that role to begin with is peak ridiculousness.

Hmm, i thought it did. maybe misremembering, everything seemed like it was on fox back in the day. But still these tv execs are all the same. I've seen this repeatedly growing up. They cast a younger black actor to play someone and never seem to match complexions. just be random ass black person.
I remember watching the wood and not knowing who the fukk which kid was supposed to be playing taye diggs on first watch, because none of them looked like the the adult version. One of the kids was dark af, but all the grown up actors were pretty much the same complexion. shyt was confusing.

What do you mean by this?
He behaved alot more like Henry Cavil in the early days before the comic book authority came through and everybody toned shyt down.
Even the color that people complain was too dark on the Cavill suit look closer to his than the bright blue they bragged about "correcting" with James gunn

I don't any smiling smirking or winking at the audience like Reeves would do.
