[comics] captain america: "i'm black y'all."

Yes I believe that was Patriot's grandfather Isaiah or Eli Bradley.

I thought one of the Captain Americas was black in the comics. Not Sam Wilson.

Spoiler

And then there's Bucky Barnes.

But isn't this announcement kind of a spoiler for the movies?

 

Only acceptable if Shane Battier plays the next Capt.

 

Nah, the movies are based off nearly 100 years of source material.

 

I really want some more detail on what the hell they are thinking with making Thor a woman.

Also, I wonder why the announce these changes ahead of time and spoil the big reveal for whatever readers they do have. I know they want to get people to go and buy this historic issue or whatever, but I would think you'd want to surprise people with it, and allow it to become a big story when readers discover it.

 

Won't be as good as:

 

I predict a massive budget cut.

 

Kind of sort of almost looks like Sergio Goyri (El Asesino De la Canción)... :grin:

 

Why don't they just try to come up with some new and interesting minority characters?

Too much work?

 

Marvel has dozens of them. Captain America has been around since the 40's, and is popular, so people actually care.

 

Isn't Spider-Man black now too

And five years younger

 

Man, shut up and eat your big-ass biscuit!

 

There's a biracial Spiderman (Miles Morales) -- it's Ultimate Spiderman I believe. He's in Houston also. He's not the ONLY Spiderman though. In fact there's a crossover called Spiderverse (either it's out or coming out) that contains every iteration of Spiderman ever. (There's a LOT)

 

The ability to retcon something sometimes allows for new ideas to develop. It's not always terrible.

Plus, there's a lot of casual fans in here, including myself. If comics were that much of a turn off, comics wouldn't be such a huge thing.

Captain America already has staying power. If a new character is introduced, it'll take time to get fans. And if people don't buy that particular comic, then it'll get tougher and tougher to invent new characters, if only because no one cares that much.

 

Captain America always seemed like a really lame character to me anyway.

 

They Lazy
They don't want to invest in and support it
They just want the cash cows to make cash

Hell Falcon was great on his own . . .without needing the uniform
but . . they never developed it


Rocket River

 

More relatable version of Superman . .. without the super

Rocket River
This won't last long IMO . . .I give it 2 yrs. . TOPS!

 

He will be the new Power Man

 

I read
