Disney ain’t slick by making the only Black lead in the movie gay.

Hollywood is scared to death of a strong Black Male lead who isn’t playing a gangster role.

They did do Black Panther first. Doesn't count?

The MCU T’Challa was heavily water down compared to his comic book counterpart and they won’t even recast him for the 2nd movie which further proves my point regarding them not wanting to have any strong Black leads.

I guess It doesn't count. How convenient for this narrative. lol
"Heavily watered down" really? How?
And Ryan Coogler made the decision not to recast not Disney. They left it up to him.

In 2006 no one was checking for Ironman, Capt America, Black Widow and Thor. Also after Ang Lee, Hulk fell off

so 2007 @Conz was like

imagine if Marvel tries to create a cinematic movie universe and the Avengers lineup is something like Captain American, Ironman, Black Widow, Hulk, and a black Nick Fury, with the bad guy being Loki

breh needs the serum

 

[Yaboysix]

A Chinese director making a one of the few Black male leads in the MCU not from Harlem...It was strategic, any criticisms of the movie can be labeled as homophobia/racism. Breh is literally the token....

Pretty disturbing....

Dammit... smh
