They’re doing a black Superman

[DaKidFromNoWhere]

i already dropped this thought in another thread

but they can call the film superman

but use clark.kent as a trojan.horse

make it about the black.hereos that do just as much or more but get way less support

it can explore the fukkery that is white.privilege superman being a huge symbol of that bs

you can have jonn.jonzz(martian.manhunter) john.stewart(green.lantern) augustus.freeman(icon) etcetera.

it can be an introduction film to spin into more solo joints

honestly we shouldn't want that superman title let clark.kent cornball self have it elevate the image & profile of black heroes

If it's Earth-2 Superman, that would be a good movie. It would be an hour of watching the Justice League ROFLMAO stomped by Darkseid and his goons. Then another hour of the sub-heroes trying to pick up the pieces and haul ass outta there.

Can we bring Spawn back

Which aspects? You want white characters to be black, as opposed to original black characters?

all of it

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

i've seen this stupid argument for damn near a decade on the internet. "well, if bond is black. then blade should be white "

go ahead then.

characters have been whitewashed for literal centuries. if characters are "blackwashed", a black person's first response shouldn't be "they're turning him black!" . just accept it, think of it as it being your turn, and move on. all that matters is that the story is compelling.

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?

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

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

We don’t know this

Lol every legit source has said this.

Nah breh, keep superman white and elevate the already established black characters.

 

[Ghost Utmost]

They better work on normal Superman before they think some "version" of Superman will work

 

[skylove4]

If anybody has a issue with this and you’re black you’re a motherfukking c00n, there’s no debating this

if anybody else has a issue with this, they’re more than likely a cracker and don’t use wash clothes

 

[skylove4]

Is he raised by farmers?

Could be and it wouldn’t be strange at all.

Senator Warnock is currently helping black farmers get there just do know

what if Superman was raised in Georgia and went to a HBCU

 

[Kurt off them percs]

I’d rather have more original black superheroes and characters, not turn white ones black.

Oh yea, like Hancock right

Ohhhh Meteorman

 

[TaxCollector13459]

If they really wanted to set shyt on fire they should do Strange Fruit based in the early 1940s-50s

[Un-AmericanDreamer]

We need a black Omni-man.

Beat me to it...Calvin Ellis already exists

Dumb take. Why would they make Clark Kent black when there's more than enough black characters to use? This is the same company that vetod the inclusion of green lantern in justice League
