@brainstorm_chan Spoiler: The guy on the left is an airbender from the Golden Age of Airbending, which was 5000 years before Aang's time. So as you can assume the tattoo styles changed throughout the centuries
@drlisastein@FletcherDeRouen@Tyre_94 Like what about his background would require actual substantial change if he was Black? For Magneto it’s his entire backstory would change.
@drlisastein@FletcherDeRouen@Tyre_94 Proff X can absolutely be Black, or Asian or anything because culture isn’t apart of who he is. A lot of people view the dynamic as MLk v Malcolm x to this day. He could fly under the radar under any nationality.
@7inBTS@drlisastein@FletcherDeRouen@Tyre_94 Yes Black people can be Jewish and we’re in the Holocaust. This dude isn’t saying that. He saying swap one minority experience for another and that’s unnecessary. You can’t just start swapping backgrounds just because.
@guava_penguin@Tyre_94 You could. If you were going to race bend one of them, I think Professor X would be the better option. That way nothing is lost in translation. Characters who have cultural specific backgrounds can't just be swapped out for each other like they're interchangeable.
@totalnibdeath@Tyre_94 "You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain". Fits in Magneto was persecuted, and turned right around and started persecuting others. Full circle on both the character and the real life counterpart. That's why you don't change it.
@drlisastein@FletcherDeRouen@Tyre_94 It's comics, I'm sure they'll have some sort of explanation on why he can live so long. You can't just start swapping the minority characters. Like I said, make Cyclopse Black. Not the character with the rich culturally specific background. Proff X is right there.
@drlisastein@FletcherDeRouen@Tyre_94 Like you could do this to Black Panther. "Hey let's make Wakanda a Jewish nation untouched by anti-semitism instead of an African kingdom never colonized". I mean you could, but why when there's a rich cultural history already established.
@FletcherDeRouen@Tyre_94 It's still a character that's steeped in a specific culture and experience. It's not a blank slate white character that you can just race-swap. Magento's Jewish heritage and his experience in a concentration camp is a fundamental part of who he is as a character.
@ThwipT_ She is going to stay. Just like Christina Hodson of Flash fame is doing The DCU Batman after the Flash debacle. Gunn is loyal and he'd rather go down with his friends than make the necessary changes.
@ToneyC64124027@THR He has a blind spot for sure. The first three movies should have been Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman. Like how was that not the plan?
@ToneyC64124027@THR The Captain America movies weren't Gotg knock offs. Neither were the Spiderman or Black Panther films. I enjoyed Supergirl, but from the first trailer, I knew it was GotG but with Supergirl. Let's see what Gunn can do with Clayface. I want a film completely different from GOTG
@GrayHarden77 They need a new creative team around both Brave and the Bold and Wonder Woman. You can’t have the team behind the Flash and Supergirl with the most important movies of the DCU?
