Black TV actor stopped from Superman Role because of his race

[Peter Popoff]

Yup, fukk DC, officially, officially.

 

[Emoryal]

Makes sense

They literally get white people to cosplay as real life historical figures but wanna bytch about fictional characters being any other race than white.

GTFOH and STFU while you at it.

World’s biggest hypocrites.

This, except for Morales. That "alternate universe" dodge is the laziest writing possible.

Alternate universes and time travel have always been a get out of jail free card in comics tho

at you subservient, conquered nikka nerds.


"Their creation, their rules!!"

For many scholars, Revelation 1:14-15 offers a clue that Jesus's skin was a darker hue and that his hair was woolly in texture. The hairs of his head, it says, "were white as white wool, white as snow. His eyes were like a flame of fire, his feet were like burnished bronze, refined as in a furnace.”

There are no rules.

Saw some things on twitter that made me rethink it. I've said it for a long time, I'm not a fan of race swapping characters. Storm needs to be black, and Tony Starks needs to be white. I thought Marvel having a black Valkyrie was one of the dumbest things ever considering it's a character based on Norse mythology.

That said, I didn't see a problem with dude not getting that role considering Superman is white. Then I found out that kryptonian babies are genetically engineered in a laboratory. After finding that out, I don't see why that actor couldn't play that role.

Marvel’s Thor b*stardize the Norse mythology in the comics and in the films. It never follow the Norse mythology from the beginning. Marvel put its own spin on it..

The people who actually come from that background or schooled in Norse mythology know this but for some reason Ignorant comic book fans who don’t know anything much got the loudest voice

I wouldn't expect a comic to perfectly adhere to a religion or culture. However the comic always did have a busty blonde chick, that's how the film should have depicted her. Any blonde or white chick with pigtails or otherwise, but they went the Denise Huxtable route. Wack to me. Not a fan of that. It's a lazy way of achieving diversity. By their logic Black Panther could be white. Same ridiculous thinking behind a black 007. It's better to introduce an original black character than race bend.

When you start pumping out more What If? stories than your core content, you dilute your product beyond recognition. On top of that, doing it just to tick off diversity boxes is insulting.




What's so hard about organically creating new characters, even frickin' Glob Herman is a thing

Majority of ADOS is Biracial then cause none of us are 100% african.


I'm changing my census info NOW.

Most of us are 80% to 90% Black.


For example I am 78% Black. And it’s because I had a native grandmother and a white great grandfather.


If you only 60% Black, you are 40% something else. That’s a lot my dude, nearly half and half

 

[Ozymandeas]

Bra Beyonce is fully black and she's the same skin complexion as Doja Cat. Y'all dudes are clearly lying

Yall gotta stop saying this. Beyoncé is not fully black. That’s why she said she was French, Native American and all that other sh*t in that L’Oréal commercial. What do y’all get out of trying to say someone is 100% black when they’re clearly not? If she did a genetic test there’s no way in hell she’d be all black.
