>Yes, I am proposing that a major comic book institution change the race of one of its popular characters as it transitions to a new form of media. In this case, I want Marvel Studios to cast an Asian American actor to play the lead in the upcoming Iron Fist show it is developing for Netflix. It seems logical enough to me, though as always, there are fans who are urging Marvel to resist changing his race.
>Now, I know the topic of cross-racial casting has come up time and time again here at The Nerds of Color. And while...

>What does change, however, in making Danny non-white is that it removes the white savior syndrome of the original story. In the comics, it turns out Danny is the most gifted student Lei Kung had ever trained. Because of course he is. For all the fans who might decry an Iron Fist racebend, do you really want yet another white-guy-is-better-at-being-Asian-than-the-Asians story? But if Danny is Asian American, the scenes of him embracing the ways of K’un-L’un can be viewed through the lens of cultural re-connection. In fact, I’d play up Danny’s rejection...

>Speaking of China, it seems that some folks think that cross-racialily casting Iron Fist is a crass pander to the ever-growing Chinese consumer base. My wanting Asian American representation in the Iron Fist character has nothing to do with the marketing demographics of a billion people on the other side of the world. (Also, I don’t think there’s any proof that the Chinese really care how Asian actors are portrayed in American movies anyway). Instead, I want the Marvel Cinematic Universe to reflect the demographics of the real world as much as possible....

>going on tumblr just so you can find things to be angry about
Yes, there are stupid people that want Danny turned into a stereotype. There are plenty of stupid people with shit opinions, that doesn't make what they say matter in the slightest. Just look at /co/, it's filled with people with horrible opinions that don't matter until Rumor Rich turns them into "total legit leak from insider source" articles.
I just finished watching this. What does /co/ think of it? I thought it was pretty good. It didnt drag out the story, and gave good closure.
Gregory was extremely annoying and a useless piece of shit. The show would've been better off if they made him more aware of basically everything instead of making him an idiotic autist that drags Wirt and Beatrice into worse and worse strife.
I ain't sayin' she a gold digger
But she ain't messin' with no broke animator

Does anyone actually respect this guy's views?

Who cares? Why even post this?

Never even heard of this dude.
/co/'s gotta get over this weird fixation with literal who's and their opinions.

Why, I do believe it's Gamera's 50th birthday!

But enough about me, how's your Thanksgiving been? Got any plans for the weekend?
Sorry for missing yesterday's thread; things got on top of me.
RIP Thor: Ragnarock
>I think [Thor: Ragnarok] needs to be injected with that sort of smart wit and unexpected kind of humor, kind of what James Gunn came in and did with Guardians [of the Galaxy]. It was like off center and unpredictable, and I think we can definitely use a dose of that, you know?
>I feel we had less of the sort of the naivety or fun or humor that the first [Thor] might have had. I wish we had more of that in the second [movie]. … We’ve done regal. We’ve done Shakespeare, and we’ve shown that. I think now it’s time to go, ‘Okay, cool. Let’s try something different,’ and Taika just had such a brilliant sort of take and funny kind of ideas about where we could [go], how we could do that.

When did you realize that Thor is doomed to be the comedy franchise of the MCU?
>>77751422
It's already the worst series of MCU movies, maybe making Thor more comedic will make them a bit better.
>>77751422
What happened to the "This will be the darkest MCU movie to date" talk?
>>77751422
It's been this way since the first outing. Try to keep up, faggot.
To those few that actually read this, how do you feel about the new status quo after issue 50 so far?
TMNT thread.
>>77750105
10/10
Although I'm a long time casual TMNT fan. So I've never gotten far enough in a portrayal to where Splinter took over the foot or they did anything other than fight shredder/krane.
#51 was awful. #52 was great. Right off the bat, the Leo/Alopex fight was the kind of exciting beggining which issue 51 should have had. I wasn't bought on the new artist - too old fashioned and like old volumes. I mean, that's not bad, but it clashed with previous artists of the series. That fight, though, convinced me that he's gottten it. I now ship Leo and Alopex.
Reading through #52 right now. Really bugs me that they dropped the flashback effect in that panel in the middle.
Huh.

Wait, what the hell was she before she was Anthro'd? It can't just be her general brain density if she's talking about it like that.
>>77749431
I can picture her as the receptionist who always forgets to pass on messages.
>>77749431
Maybe she was born in the colony? We don't know how old she is nor has she ever hinted that she mutated at any point.
She doesn't look exactly retarded as much as completely unaware of the world outside Lizardtown.
sup /co, fa/tv/irgin here. what did you guys think of the lion guard premiere?
the animation and some of the music are obviously amazing, but i was really bothered by the massive retconning and kiddification of the pride lands mythology, also the whole thing doesn't seem to fit canon-wise with Lion King 2
>the animation is amazing
>>77749287
>>77749359
Okay OP, so the animation is a cut above your average cartoon aimed at very young children, but lets not get carried away.
more lion king is great, but this is never going to be what anyone wants it to be. in the end i highly doubt its going to be worth a watch.
Heres what i thought was good

Worth Watching?
Favorite episodes, villains or scenes?

That's the movie.
So...
Why doesnt some super genius just take some of superman's blood or something and study the genome...
Wait wait wait I'm not finished!
Obviously there are plenty of plots where villains try to clone superman etc but what I'm suggesting here is figuring out how the DNA encodes for even one of his super abilities, and then making a formula that changes a human's DNA to match that in some way
Basically the supersolider serum, hence the OP pic, but you could likely get stuff like flight, speed, X-ray vision, lasers, cold breath, idk what...

You're literally describing Dr Quintum's plot-line in All-Star Superman
>>77748293
I remember reading a story as a kid that was exactly that.
A group of people, agents I think, each got like one of Supermans powers.
I remember they kind of suffered a bit for it though, like the super breath guy had to wear a special collar so that when he breathed in he didn't explode his fragile body.
Will Cap finally lose his virginity in Civil War?
>>77747992
not before marriage
>>77747992
To Sharon Carter from what Evans was hinting about Steve's relationship with her.
But if he doesn’t lose it by Civil War he won't lose it for awhile.

>yfw Cap dies a virgin
So is this actually good like Daredevil or is it just the usual internet hype that dies down after a few weeks?
It's actually good like Daredevil if you don't get triggered by a show starring something with a pussy. You will find very little criticism that doesn't include /pol/ memes and that should tell you something.
>>77745173
How about: It loses all tension about halfway through and becomes a repetitive Scooby Doo chase scene for six episodes too long, then ends anticlimactically and without any emotional or thematic resolution, settling for the most basic surface-level resolution of the main storyline while leave every sub-plot hanging.
From a story structure perspective, it was a goddamn mess. They shouldn't have stretched the Kilraven storyline, which was only the last four issues of the comics, into being the focus for...

Daredevil is my favorite superhero, has been for about a decade. Also the first comics I bought when I was 13. That said, Jessica Jones is a better show. A lot of that has to do with DD not really feeling like a DD show. It's a really long origin story, so season 2 should be better. My favorite episode was Stick, because that really felt like classic DD instead of proto-DD. Tenant killed it as Killgrave, Nuke was pretty cool and it really just worked. It felt more like a superhero show than DD even with the grittiness. Although, I want to see Jessica meet Foggy in Defenders.
Happy fifth anniversary, Tangled!
