it's on arbitrary if the character is race neutral

i already gave an example of a character that is not so we're going around in a circle here just so you can keep arguing

Your example was Storm, and in the movie her race didn't matter at all.

and i already told you that storm is a character created outside of movies and they just reduced her to a token black lady in the background for the movie

I think we agree here. If the race matters in the movie's plot (not the comic) then keep the race the same.

comic books do thi on thier own turing former white people black fro no reason like huntress and the flash

I think you and Obession and hot mess are having 2 different discussions.

Obssession and hot mess seem to be saying, I want more original black/POC superheroes in the movies, not just black/POC actors cast in roles that were originally white.

You seem to be saying that Michelle Rodriguez needs to sit her pressed ass down because no one is being hurt by a few superhero movie role slots being filled by POC's, especially when race wasn't central to those characters anyway.

You all happen to be right.





And Another thing. Miles Morales is Ultimate Comics Spiderman, with a completely different narrative and background that differs from Peter Parker.



I've read through the first run of the series, and while his being black-Hispanic is mentioned, Mile's race isn't central to the character. His socio-economic class is, but not really his race. The first book is about his winning a charter school lottery. Other than that, he's just another kid from NYC, who happened to get bitten by a radioactive spider . . .

She worded it really dumb.. being a minority and a woman herself, she should know there aren't that many options for minority people. I do agree that more POC heroes should be created (and heroines) but I don't think its wrong to re adapt a hero into someone who isn't the original.Most of the time the character doesn't look exactly like the comic or book but its only a problem if its not the right race(white). The first original movie should follow the comic but after so many adaptations(Superman, Spiderman etc) its ok to change it up. White people have so many damn superheroes I doubt 1 or 2 will matter. Its not stupid that Hollywood is trying to make roles for Poc get off your high horse Michelle

Michelle sounding like a typical ignorant ATRLer...

i agree

and to repeat the same point michelle tried to make, but is not eloquent enough to say...

changing the appearance of a traditionally white character is NOT diversity. we need REAL characters, not token people in the mix to create the ILLUSION of diversity

About Thor, anybody could replace Donald Blake. I don't want to give spoilers, but a POC could have easily filled in that role. Later on, new Thors come along and Mjolnir just gives them Thor's physique but don't make them the Norse God (there's a special reason Donald Blake becomes Thor). That's why the female Thor remains a female when wielding Mjolnir. They could very easily have a black Thor.

I agree that they need to have more POC-specific superheroes. They tried and failed miserably with blacksploitation characters from the 80s but it is worth another shot. Then again, they can't really seem to launch any new superheroes today, be them white or not, so we may have to settle for black roles in originally white comic heroes' films.

lmao i get what she is saying but she could have worded it a little better to appease the RACISME RACISME RACISME people

Well, white people have been whitewashing for decades and they still are doing today. Even with real life people like Pharoah in exodus. Now it happens in reverse in a still white dominated Hollywood and they getting upset. FOH. Greys anatomy cast was supposed to be a lot blacker too, but visionists have to reform their own projects to please white producers and distributors. Who knows how much more diverse marvel would be if they didn't have those pressures.

Why are you still using this in 2015?

Well I think we need to stop breathing too. We taking up too much of the white man's air.

uh.....?

There is more then 1 Nick in Marvel universe.

There's a second video where she clarifies what she meant & I completely agree.

BYE

ATRL intelligence at its finest right here

She is saying stop trying to make super heroes, that were originally white, another ethnicity - and instead make NEW superheroes that ARE originally that ethnic background.
