Superman? Blackwashed. In the future, there will be no white role models left for our children. Other than their fathers. Man up, guys

Get woke, go broke.

How long after the introduction of this new version will the box office receipts dwindle ?

How soon after the drop in profits will they blame the collapsing profit margins on “white supremacy”?

Oh boy. There are certain things we do not admit to in public. Such as making tiktok videos, frequenting 9chan... Licking the dogs nuts. 😳

Green lantern's John Stewart, Cyborg, Martian Manhunter, steel. These are all heavy hitters, that can cast black actors, and can be bolstered by having Superman costarring as second billing. This shit ain't hard people. Just write good stories, and... The stories will be good?

PS: Fuck Amanda Waller. Her character has no depth, and needs a massive rewrite.

Okay. Let's play Devil's Advocate.

Either they do Black Superman where the story doesn't change at all, in which case, nothing changes, and people will accuse them of white-washing or some other bullshit.

Option B: They try to add a more suburban home environment rather than his original "growing up in a small town by a farm" mentality, and basically re-make Static Shock, but this time it's superman instead of Static Shock. There's no way they'd be able to get it to work in today's woke world. No writer with a sense of pride would attempt such a serious story, and see it censored to hell and back, without losing their soul in the process.

Looking back at the Static Shock cartoon from the 2000's with nostalgia tinted glasses... It was a good show. The white sidekick wasn't a bumbling moron. He was common sense in the background trying to stop fights, but still willing to have your back when shit went down. If I remember right the cartoon in the 2000's was still heavily censored compared to the comic books it was based off of. And that was 2000 era censorship. A tenth of the crap we have today.

I have a hard time seeing how the twitards and media wouldn't rip a black superman movie to shreads if it were made. There's no way they would be able to do it right while remaining politically correct.

Well, I'm the butch one in a lesbian relationship because i couldn't find a man. Lots of faggoty 'in touch with my feelings' losers, but no one who would build me a shed, or a playground for the kids. Man up, men. We need you.

You man up, moneybags

I did. Not really genetically cut out for it, but whatever

What is that a reference from? I'm not a TV owner, so miss the social programming clues from 95 onwards

Yes, but did you click the link to discover what I consider to be good TV? Or did you assume it was just going to be that Sith quote?
