Could you imagine his work in the modern era? He was SUCH a rare talent
Yes sir! How unfortunate he's being appreciated today sir!
He did work in the modern era! Ben 10?
@Immanuel Ntim-Addae big 3?!
@@justinsigler1565 marvel, DC, Milestone
imagine a dwayne universe, in DC films
I didn't know he was in talks with Sony before his passing. Can you imagine a Static Shock feature length film written by the Maestro himself? Rest In Power Dwayne.
Man if he was still alive I bet he still be in the helm of most superhero cartoons and be somewhat of a big budget movie producer
This man was capable of writing Cristopher Nolan worthy material. Even surpassing it.
@William Dupree In the world of cinematic storytelling McDuffie unfortunately never had the opportunity to display his talent. Writing for books and television is different than writing for the big screen. I don't doubt McDuffie's talent but I also cant say he was definitively better than Nolan because honestly we'll never know. All I can do is compare him to one of this generations "top" directors/story tellers.
Although you understand that it was for another type of project, because if he was to write a Static Shock feature length film he would have go to WB since they own the character
Dwayne McDuffie was absolutely brilliant as a writer. His impact in comic books and writing stories for "Ben 10," "Justice League," and "Static Shock" will live on forever. He is still missed. I hope that this video gets more than 1 million views+.
🔥🔥💯🤘
It won’t get a million but it will reach the people that it needs to reach. I knew 0 about him before RUclips recommended this to me, it was nice to see the face of the man behind one of my favorite childhood superheroes.
@@heevestenry5384 Never say never. I truly believe that it will get a million views if we all share this documentary, and keeping his legacy alive for the next generation to follow.
@@JeremyForest I'm learning it right now Jeremy, hugely learning it right now. And will share it in my circles
"Static Shock" made me the man I am today. The show inspired me to get into the field of animation, as well as becoming a better person, and for that. Me and all his fans will be eternally grateful to Dwayne McDuffie. For showing us how art has true Power⚡
This guy wrote so many classic scripts and comics. Till this day my favorite DC Animated films are JL Doom and Crisis on Two Earths. Two originals that he wrote. Even though he's no longer with us his creative genius continues to ripple throughout various mediums. I remember getting excited when his Damage Control creation was adapted in Spider-Man Homecoming. A talented soul that was taken away from us too soon man. RIP Dwayne McDuffie.
im mad they didnt do the worlds collide movie like they were originally intending to... to see icon and everyone interacting more on a massiv scal would have been great....
@Onyi Ononye Not all his work.
McDuffie's work on _JLU_ surpasses the MCU even today & could be viewed, in retrospect, as a blueprint for _how to get it right._ He understood DC to the characters' core & weaved immaculate, brilliant, mature, hilarious, & dramatic stories around them. In another world, Dwayne McDuffie may have become WB/DC's "Kevin Feige".
Man now you got the head canon firing. You're on to something.
This documentary is available as a special feature to the film Justice League: Doom. I am very glad it's available for all to watch on RUclips.
Oh that's cool
Both a literal and metaphorical giant in entertainment. I don't think it is an overstatement to say that his world building was in the league of Kirby.
Dwayne was a once in a lifetime talent. He gave so many poc kids heroes who looked like them, lived in their world, without cliches or stereotypes. He gave white kids like me, heroes I could love and identify with, despite the differences. To me, Icon was on par with Superman, Staric was every bit as important as Spider-Man. That's important and powerful. And to boot, he was a genius, who used his gifts to spread humanism and compassion. I'm grateful for everything he left behind but I'll always wish he got to keep going, see all his imaginations work realized. I wish he was here to still warm the lives of his family and friends. They all seem to miss him terribly, a sign of his affect on their lives. Rest in Peace, Mr. Mcduffie. You were magnificent.
Amen. Well said.
Facts
Couldn't have said it better Jacob, because everything about it is true. He just did them as people, as characters with personalities like any other white character. There wasn't any need of doing a big deal about the fact that they were poc, because we know they are poc, we're only observing them as who they are on the inside and not on the outside. Something that writers and the media nowadays seems to be missing the mark
Happy Birthday Dwayne. Rest In Peace.
Milestone needs it's own cinematic universe. Rest in ultimate power Dwayne McDuffie and thanks for everything you've given us over the years.
It’s going to happen - Michael b Jordan is very much behind it
Big Facts...his legacy should be memorialized in a major way!
I will seriously be there to support it, one way or another!
R.I.P to a True Legend Dwayne McDuffie ☝🏾
Dwayne McDuffe the world will miss your work and creativity for use comic book fans. I absolutely loved watch static shock. Rest In Peace.
I wish people would appreciate
Dwayne McDuffie more. He positivity influenced and told stories to multiple generations. Not to mention him just casually being a genius.
I'm doing it right now Noah, deeply doing it right now. As someone here foreign who doesn't come from the states or any English-speaking country, it's incredible to know how generational his work really is
I am truly blessed to have grown up in my teenage years during the Milestone Era. Dwayne McDuffie and the whole Milestone Group was trendsetters then and now!!
It is totally time for Icon and Rocket to get their own movie..
Rip the late great Mr. McDuffie!🙏🏽✊🏽😢
Such a legend. The best Justice League Unlimited episodes were his, the pinnacle of DC storytelling, in my opinion. I haven't read any of his comics yet, but I will look for them, for sure. I used to record the Static Shock animated series every Saturday on my VCR. It took them forever to put it out on DVD, but I was quick to grab all of them when they did. After all these years, that show still holds up incredibly well. I wish we could know what other great things he would have made. 🥀
I hear you. Thankfully, I can watch them on HBOMax.
Dwayne McDuffie we will always remember you
Q
Happy Dwayne McDuffie Day!
The man was a legend and trailblazer for sure. Happy Born Day in Paradise, D.M. Rest easy, sir. 🙏🏿
Dude was really a groundbreaking genius🐐💯
Words don't do it justice. I loved that man's work and love for comics and Black people in Milestone and Static Shock. I'll miss him and always smile when I look at his books on my shelf. Rest in Power, Dwyane McDuffie.
ICON needs to go mainstream as a hero character
Str8 facts but too many have know idea who he is
ICON can appeal more to the adults who watch superhero movies. Static can go for the teens like Spiderman fans. They can make them into movies.
They're literally coming out a black Superman movie even though DC owns the rights to Milestone comics and Icon is pretty similar to Superman
They could have made a icon but they didn't
And also, Dwayne McDuffie was a revolutionary he was a black person who went out of his way to create his own characters instead of wanting token representation from White companies
Fighting criminals! Chase the bad guys! Fly through the city fly through the sky!
Superhero Static Shock! Ooh ooh!
This is what I've been waiting for WarnerBro/DC to do and in this same vein, I hope they put real money behind creating a Static Shock movie because for many of us, he's our Spider-man. A young boy who gains power and understands his responsibly to do what is right with those powers. I think this is the right time to adapt Static Shock into a live action movie and slowly introduce Icon and others into the DCU.
This man's writing shaped everything I know and love about comics today.
Dwayne was the man!
RIP to the legend!! Huge fan! Brilliant brother whose wrote his way into history
This man is one of several that I owe my love of comics to. Rest In Peace Dwayne, I wish I could've met you..
I can only hope that one day I'll be privileged enough to enjoy any amount of the success he achieved or become a Latina version of the artist he was
Dwayne Mcduffie was literally a genius in every sense of the word. Like Denis said in the doc. "You won't find another one like him." However, you can be the best version of youself.
@@shakeemwinn3647 And that's exactly what I'm setting myself out to do ✊🏻
the great ones always die young. Can you imagine if he were alive today and given an opportunity to bring his creations to the big screen.
I remember getting clowned so hard got dressing like static in the 6th grade lol people didn’t know how dope those comics were at the time. These were some of the best comics I’ve ever read.
RIP Dwayne, You made the DCAU worth watching ,especially Starcrossed ,Hereafter and the cadmus arc from JL/JLU
Thank You! Dwayne McDuffie for everything. You made my Childhood awesome.
Beautiful and tragic at the same time. This truly is an inspiring story.
"Great talent Never Dies" it just keep on inspiring.
Thank you Dwayne McDuffie you made my childhood awesome
He died too early
This guy was a great genius dude I wish I got to meet him at a comic con.
Gotta be grateful to have had this guy’s story’s growing up, static shock Ben10. He is one of the reasons for wanting to show a real person in a story fiction or non fiction
I’m gonna miss his special kind of writing rip Dwayne
I was lucky enough as a young teenager to find Milestone Comics. I can't tell you how lucky I was. Each and every week I couldn't wait to consume them all. As a child I didn't know they were unique from a racial standpoint. To me, they were just incredible stories told through the lens of an incredible world. And while it pains me to admit that I haven't kept up with my favourite childhood pastime of comic book collecting, I want you to know that your wonderful stories have never left me after all these years.
Until this video I did not know that you had passed away. As I type this, I feel as though I've had the rug pulled out from under me.
Such a loss for this world. And yet it comes as a small comfort to me that you're bigger than THIS world. You literally created one of my favourite worlds, and for that I shall be eternally grateful!
Thank you Dwayne for helping to fashion my childhood. As it would seem, you've helped fashion my adulthood as well.
Rest in peace, brother.
Immediately start crying as it fades to black for the last segment of this video. Gone too soon... 🖤
😔🖤🕊
so is that why no one continue to develop Static Shock character? dang rip 🌹❤🙏
RIP his Batman speech You know that speech I don’t need to “Thatspeech but that speech is just beautiful hope he’s in a better place
He was awesome RIP Dwayne McDuffie.....
🙏🏽 Dwayne Mcduffie
This was a very touching short film on a true Icon of the industry of animation and of just being an around highly intelligent and positive role model , husband and friend to his fellow artist in the industry of animation. This video made me proud , and sad as I actually cried from the loss of such a bright light at an early age, as well as the sadness of both he and his brother passing with in a year of each other. My prayers go out to their mother. Thank you Dwayne McDuffie for your brilliantly written comic books and animation shows. May you Rest In Peace and May you finally “spiritually “see the universe if it’s such a thing as an afterlife👏🏾
Wow! I didn't know of Dwayne but some glad he received this tribute. My daughter is a hugh comics reader.
Welp, time to re-watch Static Shock. Rest in peace Dwayne McDuffie 🙏
I loved this special from seeing it long ago, it highlighted the strengths of McDuffie 's works.
Dewayne Mcduffie The Anomaly🖤💙💎
I can’t believe it’s been ten years since he died.
I can't believe it either 😓, it's shocking to see how much time can really fly by, next thing we know, it ends up being 2031 in a heartbeat
Dwayne McDuffie was a true pioneer in the comicbook industry. I put him in the same category as a Chris Claremont, Stan "the Man" Lee, Jack "the King" Kirby.
I still love and own the TPB of the Justice League and Milestone Comics crossover "When World's Collide."
Rip Dwayne McDuffie.
Definitely one of a kind!! His work has profoundly affected me indirectly even without me knowing. ✊🏽❤️💯
R.I.P Dwayne McDuffie. A legendary SuperHero in DC & Television. ⚡️
Man Static was such a great animated series the episode with Richies dad being racist to Virgil then finally learning a better way taught me how to accept myself as a comic book reader and a Nerd and proud of it #NERDNATION
Rest in Peace Dwayne you were a huge part of my childhood
Last year I made it a personal goal to read more works and consume more media from non-white creators, and I remembered loving Static when I was a kid. So I went on a hunt and collected Milestone's entire body of work and read it all. Dwayne was such a phenomenal writer and storyteller, and reading through all those issues of Static, Hardware, Icon, Blood Syndicate, Xombi, and others you could really see what kind of man he was. Like so many others, I'll be forever grateful for his works and for his impact on the world of comic book media. He was a titan that was taken far too soon.
McDuffie is my hero.
I love the history of Dwayne McDuffie, love this 😁💯😍💯😁🌟😊💯😁
Static was the first cartoon I was conscious enough to watch, and Ben 10 and Justice League shaped how I think about comics, cartoons and art as a whole; it’s cheesy but I can fully say all of the things Dwayne wrote and worked on made me who I am today, and I’m so grateful for that. R.I.P. to a legend.
Dwayne Mcduffie is a huge inspiration and Ill always hold static close to me i have nothing but respect for this exceptional artist aouthor and creator brilliant mind and brilliant hand,
One of the all time greats. Only if he had the chance to witness Black Sands Entertainment 🤑
Even in Death He's Still Tugging on Heartstrings.
Thank You Sir!
We can be black superheroes.
Yes but tell some of these people when picking out these roles to stop black washing already existing characters and just use said hero who is black
@@wolfgang6442 dont have to tell em nothing you didnt invent the characters they can do whatever they want with their own characters they write ivent grow up
@@wolfgang6442 F you, bigot.
Who said they're making black Superman? You just assume that because they hired a black writer.
I saw tears in so many of the speakers' eyes.... McDuffie's impact in this life was real and immeasurable.
He forever an🏆inspiration🏆 for a multi genre multi talented writer from Detroit, Michigan like me.
I pirated TMNT, Justice League and Ben10 and others .... he really brought it to life .... loved the messages in them to life. I hope I can be an inspiration like him.
Justice League Unlimited is one of my favorite animated television shows.
Truly amazing! Thank you
Loving the respect for Dwanye McDuffie, his work shaped my childhood. Now can we see a bit for Michael Davis?
Thank you for sharing this online!
Black is beautiful 👌🏾👌🏾
I have his Dakota comics. Now ill hold them even more closely than I had before ,just because of the Man and his Journey. R.I.P
Only met Dwayne a couple of times when I did some freelance for Milestone in the 90's. Didn't really get to know him too well, but I liked him immediately. Years later I'd see him around WB and I assumed that eventually I'd get to work on a project with him again. Sadly that never ended up happening.
Such a fantastic video, one of the main inspirations to my writing
If they make Static Shock into a movie or a live action series, would they make it more faithful to the comics since they would aim it for comic’s target audience?
Didn't no he existed. Love his work. RIP. Thanks RUclips I accidentally push the button. Very informative. Something very interesting. Didn't even know black people behind the scenes of my favorite cartoons and comic books. Makes them more interesting. Better believe I'm going to re-watch some Ben 10.
A TRAILBLAZER INDEED, PROPER.HBD SIR.
I said this before Dwyane helped build the DC animated universe
Why couldn’t WB reach into these rich resources? Instead they want to do a black Superman. Icon would definitely fit the Superman bill because he’s almost like Superman in a lot of aspects. Don’t make being a black superheroes the main focus, instead focus on their morales and being a superhero. RIP sir.
I have 2 signed comics Blood Syndicate #1 and Big Bang at Jim Haley Comics in NYC 93. My most valuable asset lol!!
Wow👍
What a brilliant writer his work wasnt even Finnished
....Rest in Power Dwain!!!!🙏🏿
Long live Dwayne McDuffie long live Milestone Comics
"This is about a guy, a person. This is not about a skin color." This is a powerful insight that is mostly lost in the current day diversity push.
He also said "I'm conscious of race whenever I am writing...there isn't anything that informs human interaction more than the idea of race".
"You don't feel as real if you don't see yourself reflected in the media" Making minority characters three dimensional isn't the same as promoting color blindness.
@@slashandbones13 thats not what the quote or I am saying
Superman with a Gun was just exposed as a closet bigot who would complain about "wokeness". We see you.
@@jasonwhitcom1677 what is superman with a gun? Nm lol
i didnt know this man but i cried by the end of this
This guy was amazing
Thank you for posting this. It was incredible
Wow 🙏
Great story teller
AMAZING!! So talented!!!!!
The Blerd is an American story. I'm so proud honestly.
i loved static shock tv show!!!
Thank You!! Thank You!! Thank You!! For such an incredible story of an extraordinary human being, a gentle giant, this truly brought me to tears. His story has to continue to be shared in the comic community.
Phil Lamar's saying that Static is the only teen black superhero is inaccurate. Cyborg existed well before Static if I'm not mistaken. Not trying to take away from Dwayne's work or influence on comics and superheroes with Static. Quite the contrary. It's a disservice to the memory and legacy to change the facts or allow them to be misinterpreted and give them false praise or credit they likely wouldn't want.
Cyborg is trash. I would rather have Static take his place in teen titans and Black Lightning/John Stuart take his place in Justice League.
@@lt2672 Actually, Cyborg was in the old Superfriends show before Teen Titans ever saw the light of day. No arguing that dwayne WROTE static better, though.
@@lt2672 p
Wasnt Cyborg an adult in college when he was introduced?
@@jajagaming3602 i don't know
Give us an Icon and Rocket movie, please. Get to work, WB. It is time. There are writers out there that can do it. Find them and make it happen. He was introduced into the Justice League in the Young Justice series so it shouldn't be hard.
Sobbing! Rest in power King
First time hearing about Dwayne McDuffie? Dude indeed was one if the best writer's and artist alive. He gave black superheroes a platform too stand on.
Literally my favorite superhero show growing up besides Batman and Spider-Man, and those are hard to compete against
I want a Blood Syndicate movie.
He died a day after his Birthday! Wow...The world just isn’t fair.
The man the legend
