Bullshyt. The most popular super hero's have always been derivatives of well established hero's. it's a reason Spider-Gwen can sell. or Miles Morales can sell. or It's a 100 different Batman books. That's the driving force of comics.
I meant movie wise, everyone wants to cast. Black actor as a white superhero instead of giving established black heroes some shine. Imagine instead of saying hey let’s get Michael B Jordan to play Superman let’s get him to play Icon...a dude that can stand toe to toe with Superman

The amount of hate MBJ got for playing Johnny Storm:francis:
Not to mention the hate for Donald Glover to become Spider-Man (no Miles)..
Or
Idris being 007..
Hell..
They were even thinking about bringing John Stewart back for Green Lantern..
Nerds(cac and wanna be cacs) would have a fit:francis:
They didn't want Michael Keaton to play Batman either. His portrayal is always ranked at the Top though

No one would get mad about John Stewart he is GL to an entire generation, most people don’t give a damn about Hal Jordan if they were born in the 80’s Guy Gardner or Kyle Rayner

Nah I get it. I'd love to see Blue Marvel in the MCU
Right, man there’s so many black heroes I would love see get the spotlight, and Black Panther shows that people will go support it and now Aquaman being a diverse hero maybe we’ll start seeing more and more

If they do them right we will support. I think Black Panther and Miles are kind of safe to be honest. Would love to see the MCU push Storm harder in the proper context. And bring luke cage to the big screen. W/ A better actor.
