Why is Wallace from The Wire the Human Torch in the Fantastic Four reboot

[Khalil's_Black_Excellence]

You from PG or got family around here?

Born in DC, but lived there most of my live and most my close fam is still there. My old house was the next street right from Oxon Hill High School. I've been in Arizona for near 10 years now tho.

Marvel Studios did the same shyt with Sif and Heimdall. It irked me for a minute but whatever. Marvel's first family getting that treatment via Fox is more egregious though

What you mean by Sif and Heimdall? Are they posed to be siblings?

Oxon hill high is about 10 min from my house, maybe less. I live right near friendly

If it works, why not? this is simply another persons interpretation of the franchise

That was what Ridley Scott said about Moses

 

[hayesc0]

I think she is. Frank Storm is black and in the trailer

oh my bad they actually did something daring cool.

this is a COMPLETELY different situation, if you can't see that then you are just dumb

I dont think Marvel would of made Torch black though.. Heimdall is not a well known character like that so they got a little cute with him but no way they would of made Torch black and the rest of the Fantastic crew white..

I agree.

Yea, in comic continuity. Which is why in pre-production for the first thor they toyed with the idea of making Sif black:

They are both movies which the Directors have decided to change a characters original race

Same shyt.

there is no single quality/ trait that constricts Human Torch to being Caucasian/White

Exodus literally has white people playing Hebrew/ Egyptian people born and raised in Egypt

Breh, this ain't that deep. Just say you're a hypocrite and keep it moving.

what are you talking about? it's simple logic, nothing i said was deep

Exodus is a religious theme'd movie. The setting is in Egypt, the characters are Hebrew/Egyptian and are being presented as Hebrew/Egyptian people in the movie

F4 is not casting a black guy and presenting him as white in the movie

does this not make sense?

This is you rationalizing both instances of Directors changing the race of the original character(s) for their movies. You're okay with one and not with the other. But ultimately, it's the same shyt.

In exodus movie, the white actors are being presented as and Hebrew/Egyptian (different race). In the world of that movie they are acknowledged as Hebrew/Egyptian people.

Human Torch will be black in F4 and acknowledge'd as black in the movie.


How are you not getting this? are you being ignorant on purpose? do you really care that much about looking wrong on a message board filled with people you don't know?

One of my all-time favorite Simpsons moment. +Rep!

Scene ain't fukkin' with "That's a Nice-a Donut!" tho

:donhomer:

 

[BaldingSoHard]

I didn't really mind when that dude played Kingpin in the Daredevil movie because he actually LOOKED like Kingpin.

This dude as Johnny Storm makes no sense tho.
