bran Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 falcon taking over for steve makes sense in the storyline since the falcon has been black since he was introduced so it fits with the story. the thor one is a big weird to me, but if they can fit it in and actually give a story that explains it all i think it will be fine. i agree with teejay(i think it was) said about how im kind of worried about the story while trying to gain popularity with females will run into every woman superhero trope there is.

DR DOOM Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Isn't Spiderman a homosexual black latino now too?With the way these guys like to take "beloved franchises" and change them seemingly just for the sake of change, I'm surprised they haven't enlisted Michael Bay to do the movies for them.

luciusfunk Posted July 17, 2014 Author Share Posted July 17, 2014 Why are Captain America and the Human Torch being black newsworthy, but nobody cares about Nick Fury being black?Is it because he's not a huge character like Captain America or Spider-Man? Or is it because everyone seems to love Samuel L. Jackson?Or did I just miss the news when it happened since it was so long ago? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DieselDaisy Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Have you ever watched Cbeebies and, if there are two white kids, there is always a third obligatory black kid? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrPoe Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 I still remember when they made The Punisher black. It was still Frank Castle, in literal blackface. And The Kingpin was black in Daredevil. I refused to watch the new Battlestar Galactica when they made Starbuck female. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downzy Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 In the billions of things to worry about, the race/gender of fictional characters ranks pretty low on the list. Who gives a shit... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
