I didn't know this existed. So Boimler is Superman. Jimmy and Perry are black because Hollywood can't help themselves. It's never going to end, is it? If you want a popular black character then create one yourself. Anyway, this show has hints of Smallville and Fleischer, it has heart and that counts for something. So far, so good.
Perry was played by Laurence Fishburne in Man of Steel and was quite good, as he is in most things Also, there's plenty of whitey Perry and Jimmy out there for you to enjoy - it's too bad you can't just do that instead of complain all the time
Are you suggesting that black people are incapable of creating original characters that eventually reach legacy status? That's racist if that's what you're suggesting.
My intent is to point out the laziness and racist policies of show runners and Hollywood producers who think race swapping characters is a good idea. They are doing what you are doing, implying that black people are incapable of creating original content that can rise to legacy status.
Funny you mention that. Milestone Comics was totally a thing. They were beloved. Then white people destroyed it.
I don't need to apologize for a thread that I didn't create and I don't believe I contributed much to.
No it means you're blaming "white people"because you like to paint with broad brushes. Do you not see how ridiculous you are?
As usual, you go out of your way to miss the point. You're using the exact same rhetoric patterns to blind yourself. I see through the bullshit, because I've been there.
The people that bitch and moan about race-swapping or gender swapping old characters also tend to bitch and moan about original black or female characters that have the audacity to behave like beloved white characters. Y'know, like the people that hate Beckett Mariner but love Sterling Archer. Or the people that hate Raffaela Musiker but love Liam Shaw. It's almost like they were going to despise the non-white, non-male characters no matter what...
Jimmy's been black since Supergirl. But obviously FF has more important things to bitch about regarding THAT series.
the whole thread is race baiting, so you may wanna be careful with the trolling accusations... it's not like you didn't know that both characters have already been Black in live action. aiming to get rule 8'd?
The creator of the Powerpuff Girls pitched 16 different shows to Cartoon Network that were all passed on until he broke down to offer a PPG reboot because he had bills to pay. If even a well connected white guy who has already proven himself once before can't get a break for a new, original idea, what hope is there for anyone else, let alone anyone they don't want in their ranks in the first place? Look, most of us WANT new fucking stories with new characters, regardless of race, but Hollywood is more than happy to keep recycling the same 50 properties over and over into the dirt so "blackwashing" white characters is the next best thing. And let's be fucking for real, y'all howl at the moon when original black characters exist too...I ain't forgot how Star Wars fans showed their asses about Finn and how Burnham and Raffi give white men over the age of forty hives whenever their names are mentioned.
Wasn't the deal with Milestone that the creator/originator ran into some kind of major health issue? Then DC ate Milestone. Man, I miss Icon. That was a great book.
