Start at 2:39:56 to 2:44:56 mark...he goes into it. Does he have a point here?

Didn't Tariq Nasheed say the exact same thing on his podcast last year?

This nikka hurts my head

I wish these were movie posters. I'd more hyped for a movie with these characters than I was for BP.

Issa big ass reach

What so called Marvel "pantheon" is even talking about?

There's no way to even prove what he's claiming. The Orishas aren't the only deities who possess any of the abilities he mentioned.

And to top it all of this nikka claimed that Thor, a character named and based entirely off of Norse mythology, was taken from Shango

 

[Ghost Utmost]

I would argue that all the iterations of "g-ds" across the globe are based on the first idea of g-ds which occurred inside the minds of the first Humans. Africans.

Including comics and movies.

From a metaphysical perspective, the Universe is one whole, but has details. Attributes. The monotheistic "G-d" is the whole and the pantheon of "g-ds" are the attributes.

Since all this stuff is supposed to be objective, a sort of science, people in different eras should be able to glean the same type of info just from observation.

In short: there is a physical, scientific reality being described by any *good* myth. Since reality is the same reality for the entirety of Human exiatence, the first "g-ds" and the current ones should resemble one another.

And the ideas passed down from Africa all the way down the line. Absolutely.

So some Jews in New York City in 1960s...are gonna have enough information about African deities in the 60s...to create White American superpowered characters

I swear these dudes don't fukking think...

You wanna know where American superheroes come from...

Homer...

The Greek classics...

Shakespeare...

Pulp magazines...

Stan Lee even says who his influences were...

Marvel has no problem having the actual "gods" in their comics though and recognizing them as whatever culture they're from. They recognize everything from Thor's folks, to Celtic gods, to African gods.

I really wish people that are new to comics would stop acting like they revealing these huge secrets.

 

[BoogeyMan]

If you study this shyt, you'll learn that a lot of stuff from European culture was derived from African culture. He's kind of right on this one.

 

[ALMIGHTY GOD]

wrong. theres soooooooo many different gods in both marvel and dc. which pantheon and heroes is he speaking of? new gods? asgardians? old gods? titans?

which heroes?

 

[ALMIGHTY GOD]

as some one already mentioned, marvel and dc have gods for alot of different cultures.

 

[☑︎#VoteDemocrat]

You can't win

Yeah..the Thor comment was a huge reach

 

[NoChillJones]

Umar full of shyt, like when he tryng to make the point that Marvel paid white actors more then blacks for Superhero movies.

When he consistently showed that first run movies lead characters got 2-4 mil and the sequals got 8 mil and after that Sky is the limit.......

Mythologies influence each other.
