I would like to start this thread off by pointing out that nobody actually cares about MASK anyway, and you're just butthurt that a white guy's no longer white.
Carry on.

Why did you crop it OP?
>>83752606
Thanks /co/mblr
>>83752765
Because he doesn't care about the designs, he just wants to incite race war.
>>83752785
Nah, I just take pleasure in pointing out people's idiocy.
>>83752765
Those armors are terrible.
>>83752765
>Baker
>Turner
>both look like spics
What did they mean by this?
>>83752887
She looks asian to me. Turner is def a white guy.
>>83752887
What did they meant when they had nothing but white guys?
>>83752887
Turner's pretty clearly white.
I think Baker's meant to be some flavor of Asian?
>>83752765
Gloria seems pretty waifu
>>83752934
common naming conventions
>>83752606
they why reboot it?
>>83753026
Cause that's all IDW does.
>>83753026
To get people to care about it
>>83753047
but why not something someone likes? do they own beetleborgs?
>>83752857
>Those armors are terrible.
This.
I mean, I know the originals are pretty bad too, but...
>>83753026
Hasbro mandate?
It's the same as "why reboot ROM without anything that makes ROM good": so that it can get popular and Hasbro can make money off it.
You seriously think MASK or ROM or Action Man are going to get past 6 issues? 12 at a stretch.
>>83753070
but Noone does.
>>83753118
Yet
>>83753093
Nope. Only things I can think of that they should have access to but haven't done are Visionaries and Inhumanoids. Since they're going all out otherwise, I have no idea why they aren't bringing Inhumanoids into this.
>>83753117
If fucking JEM can go for 16 issues, I don't see why that other stuff can't, especially when the shared universe is going to add more attention to them.
Matt Trakker had neer zero personality. Why not just include HONDO on the roster.
>>83752523
If I take your M.A.S.K off?
>>83753480
which was my first thought. a lot of the team was diverse, so why skip the diverse guys by changing the first few team members?
>>83752765
Gloria Baker is a qt. I approve.
>>83753480
you know why
>>83752523
Nice Hondo headshot, but what does Matt look like?
>>83752523
MASK
>>83753528
Will you black?
>>83753434
You kidding? Jem was plenty popular in the 80s, and targets an entirely different and underserviced demographic.40-year-olds lusting after teenagers.
>>83753145
>IDW has Inhumanoids
Fuck! Why won't they do something with it? I loved Inhumanoids! I still own my giant ass Tendril and one of the tree guys. The other two big monsters broke...
>>83753661
They can only do something with it if Hasbro lets them. Also they're probably going to have to change the name.

>>83753689
Wait...Why would they have to change the name? Is there some weird licensing issue?
Will we ever see an black girl in nerd fiction? I know black turbonerds hate seeing nigresses on geek media because it might be "forced" on them but come on other peoples need some of the brown booty.
When will we see a black female with MC status? Next century?
I could count Storm, and uh, help me here. Does Marceline count as black even if she is grey as fuck with dots as eyes?
>>83753661
I dunno, man. It seems perfect for the IDWverse, and yet...
>>83753715
Trademarks. And guess what Marvel is trying desperately to push right now!
>>83753706
Robot Chicken is alright sometimes.
>>83753725
well if you're going to be so pissy about it nevermind
>>83752765
Oh look.
Black Alpha Male.
Hot Asian Female.
It's funny that the modern progressive leftwing's attempt to add diversity are just as racist and cliched as a 1950's all white cast.
>>83753480
MASK was already all kinds of multiethnic on the hero side. I really don't get the need to race swap anybody.
>>83753901
Those aren't even stereotypes. Hot female? Lol
>>83753901
>Asian
>doesn't look anymore Asian than the cartoon Gloria did
>>83754027
It is dumb. I'm a liberal and I actually care about representation and do you know who has nearly none? Black women and Asian men.
>>83752523
>Matt Trakker is a delinquint recruit that gets forcibly trained into being the leader, not the guy who is the leader because he invented all this stuff
>Sly Rax doesn't have a scummy Van Dyke
I am severly disappointed in this pitch.
>>83754092
>Asian men.
Assuming they don't arbitrarily race swap him, the defacto second in command of MASK used to be Japanese.
>>83753901
>hot female
>alpha leader
>stereotypes
You're dumb
>>83754211
That's cool.
I've never even heard of MASK honestly
Why are you guys arguing about race when the whole gimmick with MASK was the kick ass vehicles?
>>83754092
Source on this "nearly none"?
>>83752523
>writer Brandon Easton
that explains matt then
>>83752765
Not cute enough, but eh, at least she got the only nice armor in the set
All this diversity bullshit but no one brings back motherfucking Spirit. He would save hasbrouniverse, for some reason is fine to add thousand black guys and asian women but they can't bring an actual badass character?
WHY
>>83754893
I'm sure someone would've found something racist about him
>>83755004
The comic versions of most Joe characters are fucking based, so the PC crowd can fuck right off on that one.
>>83752523
I bet you're looking to start a fight, but this is the best example of diversifying a pre existing propert I've seen because they at least bothered to leave one white guy on the team.
>>83755004
Probably that he was too poor to realize he was poor.
Or his apparent peyote allowance.
>>83754576
>Early loss of his father
>a delinquent
>gets into trouble
>forced to join a bootcamp to straighten up and be a leader
So we made him black and then applied the stereotypical African American background of someone who ends up in the military to get away from gangs and trouble? B r a v o
AYO HOL UP
Will Miles Mayhem be a good rusemaster?
>>83754092
>You know who doesn't watch media and just complains about it to feel superior? Me.
