all of it :childplease:

if you've been anywhere on the internet, you know its cacs always saying this shyt. so the fukk what if he's black? the ink hasn't dried on the screenplay and the details so far are vague at best :gucci:

This the problem;


Milestone has a long and complicated history with DC Comics. The heroes were prominently featured in Dwayne McDuffie’s run on “Justice League of America,” as well as several of DC’s animated media properties. “Static Shock” was a launch title under the New 52 banner but was cancelled after only 8 issues, amidst a storm of controversy surrounding John Rozum’s treatment at the hands of editorial. After seemingly severing ties with DC, Milestone Media relaunched under the “Milestone 2.0” banner, which seems to carry into the deal with DC.

He hasn't had a comic since 2011, no TV show since 2004.

Meanwhile the only major black heroes in the MCU were Black Ironman and Black Captain America.

It's about legacy, my dude. At one point people have to be called out for this "WELL, ATLEAST WE GETTING SOMETHING."

Only taking what we can get has gotten us here. You got Dr. Manhattan played by a black actor in your avi, so, maybe I'm wasting my time.

But, I think the state of black heroes is in a horrible place when all we get excited for is black versions of white people.

Sorry, I'll continue to complain, because, it's becoming a trend. I want black heroes more than you do.

yes there are original black characters but do you really think hollywood will take those risks now?

just the fact that black panther got made, and captain america is black is huge. 12 years ago stan lee (RIP) had to put in the word to get the ball rolling on BP. execs didnt want to make it cause "the technology to make wakanda isn't there". nikkas was making Avatar back then and Wakanda couldn't be done? :comeon:

hell, even the fact that blade got movies in the early 2000s and spawn got made is big. :beli:

:ufdup: before we get more original, black, hero characters, audiences need to be exposed to leading black heroes in general. this is the thinking suits adhere to in hollywood.

its just weird seeing the reactions in this thread mirror, almost exactly, shyt on reddit, 4cac, etc

  1. You making the case that you're wrong.
  2. Aw yes, the "you sound like CAC" defense.

This makes no sense, when you're arguement is "Hollywood doesn't want to take the risk" when Black Panther exists :deadrose:

Okay, okay, you want a black hero that bad. Stop being upset at people who want better.

Imagine playing pro-black by celebrating a white character made by white men and a white company being turned black for a movie that will utlimating will support the legacy of said white company and white character.

Ya'll the reason we got Carol Danvers (a risky character) and not Monica Rambeau.

:whoa: Captain Marvel (a relatively unknown character) is one thing, but, a black Captain Marvel...the world ain't ready!

there is no "you sound like a cac", this is, in fact, the argument cacs use.

my argument isn't hollywood doesnt want to take the risk. it's that the risks it has taken are mitigated substantially. black panther is one of a few exceptions, not the rule. don't strawman me, breh.

nowhere am i upset that people want "better"; ascribe your emotions to something else breh. i'm simply saying that the road to showcasing original black characters is hard enough, given the machine and parts that comprise hollywood. there is nothing wrong with taking concessions for the characters that were originally white but are now black and well-written. if that leads to showcasing more original black characters, what's the big deal?

again, no one here actually knows what version of superman will be the final product. you all ran with the idea of "blackwashing" and lost your shyt. maybe before you reach for the same played out arguments, wait on the screenplay to be revealed with details. iono, just my take :manny:

Are we this obsessed with white people?

fukk their opinions. At what point did I say I don't want black characters? I saw fukking Black Panther in the theatre three times!

Again, I proven context to my problem, I didn't just straight to "blackness."

I'm sorry, I'm tired of this good enough shyt.

You talking to a comic book fan that ALWAYS buys the single books of black heroes.

(I'm gonna take a pic later to show you).

Boom! Black! I bought all em!

Again, it isn't the end of the road, but, it's becoming a bad habit.

This same actress should've played Vixen. Not be thrown into a sinking ship (the star quitting out nowhere).

Vixen gets to be a guest star on a white boy's show.

I want better, breh. Better!

The goal is to get a breh like @Ziggiy to the place we can have a fully black hero with all black money and power!

Let's be respectful, because the more brehs to talk comics with the better.

Don't call me emotional when your the one throwing terms around like "black-washing" that's not my problem. I'm not making the argument that white boys are being replaced or that the legacy is tarished.

there is nothing wrong with taking concessions for the characters that were originally white but are now black and well-written. if that leads to showcasing more original black characters, what's the big deal?

Concessions need to end at some point in a deal--unless you're getting punked.

It's not completely wrong, but, it's becoming a problematic trend.

I don't accept "there is nothing wrong with taking concessions for the characters that were originally white but are now black and well-written."

It's becoming the State of Affairs.
