Black Superman. I rest my case.
You should make a better case before resting it.
Why is that not a good enough case? Could you imagine the reaction to a black Superman? Admit it, you know it would not work.
If a movie is part 2 of a story, ok fine. If Luke was black in ESB, that wouldn’t make sense. But otherwise, there is absolutely no reason Luke couldn’t be black in a remake. Because there was no reason he had to be white in the original.
Star Wars isn’t an adaption of a comic book.
Irrelevant to my point.
No it is not, it shows that you make a bad comparison.
And somehow, I don’t think it would work any better than a female Starbuck.
Neither one, on their own, are doomed to not work. All that matters is the execution.
Female Starbuck, Black Two-Face and Black Supermen just don’t work imo.
I don’t understand the problem with changing the race of a fictional character. The race was made up to begin with.
It changes the character’s appearance.
So what?
It can also affect the personality of the character.
So what?
You believe that white privilege is real. Therefore, wouldn’t having the privilege vs not having it effect a character’s personality?
So what?
If you’re remaking/rebooting/whatever a franchise, there is no reason a character can’t be different. Just because something came first doesn’t make it “right.”
Some of us like accuracy to the source material.
Black Superman. I rest my case.
I’d be saying the same thing if a while actor were cast as John Steward(Green Lantern).
If they want a white Green Lantern, they have a white character to fall on.
The John Steward Green Lantern was never white in any comic book version. Yeah there is Hal Jordan and Guy Gardner, but they are different characters. The John Steward Green Lantern should never be player by a white actor.
Also who cares about Green Lantern? 😉
This misses the point.

They really should have given Billy Dee Williams a shot at the role. He was Harvey Dent in the first film after all.
Sorry if this comes across as racist, but Bill Dee Williams is black. Harvey Dent/Two face is white in the comics. I’d be saying the same thing if a while actor were cast as John Steward(Green Lantern).

I just don’t care about Batman. I haven’t seen those movies since they were in theaters.
That’s no excuse for ranking Forever over '89.
I guess he has his
Reasons.
I think all of the Batman movies are stupid. But, Returns ends with Face to Face by Siouxsie and the Banshees and Forever ends with Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me by U2, so those are the best ones.
???
Not sure what you’re questioning…
Why you think all the Batman movies are stupid and why you think Returns and Forever are the best Batman movies. This means you think they are better than Batman(1989), Begins, and TDK. Sorry, but there is no way in hell Forever is better than TDK.

I wonder if there are any good Republicans or good Republican ideas.
I think there are a few, but they are obscured by the all the bad Republican ideas and all the bad Republicans.
Is there anybody who experienced it, had it go away, and then come back on the same device with the same browser?
I have been using the same browser, and sometimes it happened and a few times it did not.
Yeah%2C all the ads and such served as a constant reminder. I suppose as the years go on I will get used to it. But it is going to take a long while for me to get over my father%27s death. Maybe some think it shouldn%27t take all that long. But for me%2C it will. This is my father and we are talking about someone I knew from birth and for over 40 years afterwards. It is going to take longer than 8 months. For one I thing I wasn%27t exactly prepared. I knew someday I would lose him and the day wasn%27t far off. I knew he didn%27t have too many years left. But I thought he%27d have some. I knew he was very sick from the fall and might never fully recover. But he was getting somewhat better. So%2C it was quite a shock when the phone rang we were told that he had gone into cardiac arrest and we rushed to the hospital that was next to the rehab place he was staying and he died that night. I%27ll always regret not coming to see him that last day. I was going to come the next day. Going into rehab places and hospitals and not a comfortable experience for me and it had been very difficult to see my father suffering and not being able to do anything about it. It was difficult to see him so confused and disoriented%28at one point%2C he couldn%27t tell his wife from his son%29. So I decided to miss a day of going in. My mom still went in that day%2C so I knew he would have had company. I had no idea that would be his last day. If I had any idea%2C I would have been there. I%27d give anything to have one more day or hour or minute with him. I know that he is in heaven know and I will see him again someday%2C but it is still very difficult. I so miss the everyday ordinary conversations with him. Sorry for going on like this. I%27ll stop here.
thankyou you both.
I think I am starting to hate Father Day.
seems like it does it in random posts.
deleted.
wrong, it did again to me in the banned members thread.
Damn I spoke too soon
It seems to be ok%2C for now.
Yeah, I see that too now. Probably a MAC thing.
nope, I’m on a PC and I’m seeing it too.
But it didn’t happen this time. Did you use a different browser?
I’ve been on a PC using Chrome the whole time. Never had this problem until today
seems to be working right now.
test. test?
