It’s not about him being black, I would be pissed if they made Clark Kent blonde. Clark Kent’s image is way too iconic to be changed for no reason.
Blonde Clark Kent... HOMELANDER???
Remember when they gave him a mullet? Ugh.
I wouldn't mind them changing him if there was a very good "convince me to sell my testicles" reason
@@razatronidiotics9430 There's canonically a black Superman in an elseworld. I don't recall which one right off hand.
@@michaelhowze8198 I wouldn't really mind a black superman as long as it's canon that it's a different part of the multiverse and they make a actually good story that's NOT a political agenda nightmare.
I believe Batman once said something along the lines of, “We are very lucky that at no point in Clark Kent’s life has he considered himself to be anything more than Human.”
@Ummer Farooq Why would he glow?
Would superman be stronger black?
@@jayku1624 Probably not. Skin doesn't function the same as clothes and darker skin actually keeps you from getting warmer and does nothing to enhance the rate of absorbing sunlight radiation.
@@jayku1624 Actually, I think having darker skin would make absorbing sunlight harder, as darker skin helps to prevent sunburns due to it coming about as a result of living nearer to the equator.
So a black Superman might actually be weaker.
kyle pratt but wouldn’t the melonin in it absorb more energy
Some SJW: "let's turn Superman black to represent black people"
Reasonable guy: "why not create a new character or use an already existing black characters?"
Same SJW: "what black characters?"
THATS WHAT THEIR DOING 😂😂😂
I hate it
💢💢💢💢💢💢💢💢💢💢💢💢💢💢💢💢💢💢💢💢💢💢💢💢💢💢💢💢💢💢💢💢💢💢💢💢💢💢
Also reasonable: how about introducing a characters that has a version of them being black, like John Stewart's Green Lantern? It worked well for the JL animated series.
@@jp5394 yeah but that was when people had brains
Anybody remember the TV series and movie "Wild Wild West"?
"The only reason you want to do it is to play politics, and if that's the only reason, you shouldn't do it." Well said.
Ah yes, comic books, the famously aplotical literature.
“If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” Does no one remember these wise words?
Not NPC's they also forgot "sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me."
Hahahahahahahaha there is another : "Respect to be respected"
“If it ain’t woke, fix it”
They follow the new mantra: "If it's not 'woke', fix it."
The problem is, NPCs see everything as "broke".
anyone remember hancock and blade? their blackness was never a thing that was shoved in our faces. why can't we have black characters without politics anymore?
Well, what else would the closet racist SJWs and blacks bitch about? Real problems? That'd be too difficult for them.
I seem to remember spawn was a pretty good film back in the 90s as well.
Cause cats like "just some guy" and all sjw's are preprogrammed to not accept change. Hell both Blade and Hancock are not affirmed by their race, they just happen to be black.
@@Dargonhuman right cause black ppl are marching over fake characters changing colors?? U sound like the "closet racist" that u are mentioning
Because unfortunately they see it as marketable and so the anti racism message is backed by extreme racism bc it's the point to get traction to get the views up. A tool :/
SJWs: "We need an Asian Superman!"
Dean Cain: "You're about 25 years too late."
Dean Cain, like me, is part Asian. Also like me, he looks white. Doesn't change the fact that he was the first Asian Superman.
And Brandon Routh is also half asian
Superman is an alien from space stupid ass bitch ass SJW👈🧐
When I was a kid, I loved Dean Kain as Superman because he was believable. He fit the part that George Reeves and Christopher Reeves established before him.
I grew up in LA so diversity was just a part of life. I didn't need it shoved down my throat. That being said, I wouldn't have been able to look past a black actor playing Superman instead of Dean. Wouldn't have made sense then and it doesn't now.
I always thought Dean Cain had a Hispanic look to him. In any case, he played a cool Superman.
I knew a Caucasian that looks Asian
I wish someone at DC would just tell them "No." and then leave it at that.
"You know there's other black actors besides Michael B. Jordan right?"
(They don't.)
Well there is Will Smith🤣
Hancock wasn't horrible if you ignore the second half of the movie
Yes there is also will Smith, Kevin hart, that really old dude and that one dude that curses a lot
@@oz459 samuel jackson nah he was a Jedi
He totally replaced Idris Elba at that.
Imagine how people would react if Black Panther was white
Superman is an alien lmao, black panther is from africa look there's ur difference
PRIME Kai Black people aren’t the only ones who live in Africa. White people also live there. Not even Egyptian were black either.
Bro those white peoplw that live in africa Are decendants from colonizers that stayed from Europe after killing thousands of blacks that originally lived there. Get tf outta here with that.
@@psyionic8595 originally it was only black ppl
@@psyionic8595 and my fact still stands that since superman is an alien y cant he be black?
Why don’t they just make a NEW black character instead of replacing popular heros
Or even put Green Lantern into the front light? I mean, he's a great character and could be the next Black Panther, if they just treated it with the same respect.
Let's go, John Stewart!!!!
For the same reason they ignore black characters that already exist.
@@Eternaldarkness3166 I'd love a John Stewart Film but green lantern SFX are expensive. A Cyborg film?
Its the most popular and famous characters they want to change into black people and unattractive women because if they do that then everybody will see it and it will help spread there political correctness and feminist brainwashing over the world way more than if they would change characters most people have never heard about or create new characters.
JustSomeGuy has a voice like a stress ball. The angrier and more frustrated he gets, the higher pitched it gets. Love it
there is a Black superman. His name is Steel.
Give this guy (steel) a comic!
And icon
And Val-Zod
Toni Technaclaw he’s not popular for them to know
Damn right
I mean Id be mad if Blade was suddenly white in a new movie.
Straight pissed
Or spawn.
@@user-oj6re6ju9t exactly
Were you mad when Green lantern was played by Ryan Reynolds? No one gave a shit back then. But when superman is black, all hell breaks loose.
@@premmagar9265 but there are multipule green laterns established ryan reynolds was playing Hal Jorden.Why people are mad is that they are taking an established hero and making him black no one would be mad about black superman if it was superman steel an established black version of superman no one would be mad really. swapping gender or race of an established hero is not only lazy way of including minorities but also really insulting to them as it implies they can only be popular by riding the coat tails of an established white hero.
Superman doesn't need to be white. He is white. That is part of his character. It would be like making Blade Mexican or Storm Chinese. Then, it's not the same character anymore.
Well said. The white Kansas rural farmer origin to Clark Kent is indeed integral to the character.
It's not really that. Its what the character can do. But that being said Supes would cause outrage. I'm sorry Clark Kent Superman from Earth Prime the most recognizable Supes. That being said that change would be a media shitstorm.
Marvel's Ultimate run killed off a lot of established characters and brought in new one's of different ethnicity... The problem was... We didn't know them and Marvel put in no effort, except for Miles Morales, as to giving us a backstory.
Black Widow is a prime example. Once Natasha Romanov died by Hawkeye, we saw another Black Widow who was another character entirely, but no one cared. She was a stand in who lacked the ability to connect with the fans... Can I get a Riri?!? (Not her current run though. Riri's actually got a good writer to Ultimate Morales her).
As for Superman, I remember when they turned him into Electric Superman. That didn't last long.
Superman isn't white: he's an alien.
@@bebopbountyhead
I despise it when people say this, stop it. You know EXACTLY what they mean and you know EXACTLY what this discussion is about.
"Does Superman need to be white?"
Yes, Kryptonians deliberately live on planets with weak stars so that they don't have to live in a world of tissue paper.
Wait, them living on Krypton was deliberate? And the planet they orignally came from was a place they accidentally broke shit all the time?
@@_V.Va_ Well, maybe they sought Krypton out BECAUSE of the Red Sun. If its true, I'm sure millions/billions of people couldn't stand being Superman - In the way that they would have to constantly hold back
@@whitehorse8558 why would they have to hold back? If the entire planet is "super" who would they be holding back for?
@@madlucky4193 Hold back on the weak planet
@@whitehorse8558 oh now I understand what you mean. That is interesting to think about. I think it would depend on how powerful the writer decided to make the kryptonians. In my opinion most writers make superman either way overpowered or way to weak. Too overpowered and it makes any fight with a villain lesser than darkseid or doomsday seem silly. Too underpowered is just as annoying for different reasons
from what I've seen. There is very few if any black comic fans in favor of this. Explained with two reasons. They already have black characters they want to see movies of. Or they don't require someone to have their skin color to like them. But it's almost like the general public invaded the comic community tore sh!t up and moved along to their next scheduled disaster like a swarm of locusts
I agree... there's a number of black characters in DC.
John Stewart, one of the more well recognized green lanterns due to the long running Justice League series. Cyborg, but they fucked up the justice league movie, and made the dude into a soldier rather than a normal, lovable guy. Black Lightning, Aqualad, and mother fucking Static to name a few.
Fucking Static had his own TV series!
@@moonshinetheleocat1235 Aqualad was awesome in Young Justice, I'd love to see a live action version of him. Bad ass fighter with weapons that turn water into solid constructs to fight with, love that. Would be far better than just making a black Robin or Speedy or Wally We...oh wait, they already did that last one. I:
Same process I think. All this has ever been about is destroying culture, not helping anybody or building anything worthwhile. Smart people notice that, regardless of color.
We already have Asian Superman. He calls himself Saiyaman.
It’s the GREAT Saiyaman. Give him his respect
to be fair, he's half alien...so he'd be mixed race too
No they're called Goku and Saitama
Saitama*
thought you were going to say Dean Cain
it's just the laziest method of adding diversity. this character got years of time and effort put into building their own lore and backstory. how much effort are they willing to put into a new black character?
"let's just replace the white guy"
if you actually care about diversity, why wouldn't you put in real effort into creating someone new? we're talking about a universe that gets attacked by aliens every week. they always need new heroes
You are only person i agree with here
That's what is the best solution, unfortunately it's probably not going to happen. Changes to a character's design aren't always bad, as long as they make sense. Take the Mystery Machine, for example (I know that a fictional van isn't the same thing as a fictional superhero but it's the best example I can think of). Throughout the years we had a few variants of the Mystery Machine, however most of them were based upon either the original look, or the more modern look (the van who's front resembles the front end of the canyon from flatout 2), and both of these vans are the real Mystery Machine. Although this shouldn't make any sense unless these were alternative universes, it did in the cyber chase, the only Scooby-Doo movie that features both Mystery Machines, the new one in the real world, and the old one in the cyber world, where Fred states how he missed the old van, to which cyber Fred responded that nothing ages in the cyber world (the cyber character used the original looks, exept Shaggy, who was wearing a red t-shirt instead of a green one, because the gang didn't see their freind in years, and he didn't know about their change of style), which shows that both vans are the Mystery Machine from the same timeline, just that the original one eventually got to the point where it would no longer work and had to be replaced with the new one (to be honest, that would be a good was to drastically change the physical appearance of an existing human character, they'll eventually reach the age where they can no longer perform the tasks that they preciously could and get replaced by someone to continue what they started (that would be way better than for a superhero to just magically change to black or a woman and pretend that they were always like that, but that they either looked up to them and chose to continue what they did themselves, creating their own story, or litteraly anything that won't contradict the original story and will seem logical)).
Because these people have no concept of long-term gains.
They're conditioned to want INSTANT GRATIFICATION by things like their social media addictions, so EVERYTHING HAS TO CHANGE *_RIGHT NOW_* BECAUSE IT'S [Current Year] AND WHY ISN'T EVERYTHING FIXED FOREVER YET?!
Fucking toddlers...
Hell, they could even have him have almost the exact same powers as Superman if they wanted.
Imagine this for a moment:
Let’s say that the characters in the comics are real and the movies we watch are being made about these real life people. Now you have you’re Superman and and Batman movies, and yes, admittedly, the majority movies are white. Now, in present times, we understand the need for diversity, for everyone deserves to look to a hero that looks like them, if that’s what they want. But anyways, the first movies are made, and the public is crying out for diversity, and all the these minority hero’s, who remember are real in this scenario, are excited. Now imagine how those minority characters would feel if instead of a movie being made about them, they took the white hero’s and recast them as minorities. This isn’t progress, it’s demeaning to these characters that many hold dear to their hearts.
I'm still waiting for a Jon Stewart GL movie. I fear I'll get old, shrivel up likae a raisin and die before WB finally get their heads ouf each other's asses 😭
@Rambunctious Dreambirde hence why the first line said "Imagine"
It's a good thing this is fiction and not real life.
Tell you what, give us a white Blade, and I'll be fine with a black Superman.
I lied. I'd just be upset about both of them being changed to a point of being unrecognizable beyond looking like a cosplayer.
hit em where it really hurts. White Static Shock (please dont.)
or maybe whiteface a black guy to play a white superman. lol.
Personally, I'd be okay with someone with the same power set as Blade or Superman, but with different names and monikers. IE, Clark Kent should always be a white guy, but I don't have an issue with John Henry Irons.
Nooooo! Love Snipes, I hope they never try to reboot with another actor playing him. Black or white!
@Thelondonbadger A new character would also be fine? All I am saying is that I don't have an issue with the idea of a black skinned person with Kryptonian powers getting a story as long as they are not Clark Kent.
When they first announced Michael B. Jordan was playing Human Torch, I was for the most part ok with it because I saw him in Chronicle and came away thinking "You know, if Johnny Storm was black..." but then I discussed it with one of my black friends, and he said "I hate it, with all the great black characters waiting for their time to shine, why are we stealing a white one?" and he was right, still is.
You want to see a Black Superman? Tell DC to give Calvin Ellis a solo series, and tell Marvel to push Blue Marvel
You want a Black Batman? Tell DC to push Batwing
Why change established characters to pander to an audience that's not going to buy the books anyway, and thus alienate the actual audience, when characters that fit the bill already exist?
I mean why not make a Reboot of Shaq's Steel .
It's not about creating something. It's about destroying something. To understand SJWs you have to understand this basic fact.
When u realize that both human torches in the MCU are dead now 😔.
To be fair, he's always on fire. That's gotta do something to your complexion.
You're so right!
They're race swapping the blue fairy and Ariel for those new Disney films. Why not create new black characters for those movies instead of taking white ones and swapping their race. Or take an existing black character and expand on them :/
If they ever tried this, they'd turn Lex into the most stereotypical bigot to oppose the dark superman.
Just imagine Lex ranting about him in speeches or making crosses out of kryptonite.
@Mask de Plainview they did it already with a few bits in Reign of the Supermen. Small parts here and there, but those small points glare.
that hypothetical scene you just mentioned made me throw up in my mouth a little
John and Martha Kent find black Kal-el in the cornfield, they turn him over to child services instead of adopting him, he grows up on welfare in a single black mother's home after his adoptive father leaves, grows up borderline retarded from neglect, and becomes Superthug, the greatest villain in the world that only our capitalist hero Lex the Great can stop. He thwarts him with cunning traps and kryptonite-laced job applications.
The Lex Luthor from the President Superman universe reminds him all time that he is not racist.
i could see Lance Reddick as luthor, he would actually be good
certainly better than Jesse Eisenberg
When he went off about Aquaman and Jason Momoa’s sexiness!!!😂😂😂
Spittin facts
For the record, Aquaman did look a lot like Jason momoa's portrayal, in the '90s
@@ChadKakashi no Nick fury looked more like David hasselhoff in the 90s. Lol I'm jk I know what you're saying.
@@dodget3aquaman kind of looked like that in the justice league show 😂
Yo, to be fair Jason fits the 90s Aquaman, save for hair color. Everything else works so it isn't that huge of a shift.
Agreed
It makes sense that a waterdwelling person has a Polynesian appearance
All that's missing is the harpoon hand.
I’ve thought this kind of thing with discourse on the race of James Bond as well: who does this help?
Say you change a “traditionally white” character’s race. What then? What does that accomplish in terms of ending racism? As far as I can tell, nothing. Nothing practical anyway.
Even in terms of sending a message, is the message being sent really a good one? Are we implying black people have so little cultural capital that they have to all but steal it from white people? We all know that’s factually untrue.
Point well taken David but if its not a problem why has it taken over 2,000 years for white culture to wake up to the fact that the Bibles characters are basically people of Color??? Whites really believe that they had something to do with Africa (Ethiopia) and the Middle East, or that their bloodlines actually run from the tribes of Hebrews (Impossible) who were people of color (Not Africans). The last surviving tribe of Judah was photographed in 1901 and there's not one pale face among them. The European Jewry in Israel now got a real shock to when they saw the picture. I say just like the Romans enjoy the ride while you've got it . I've seen way to many confessions on RUclips these last ten years who have gotten woke to the true scam of this delusion so paint your heroes ANY color you want to fit your comfort zone.
If they had treated James Bond as a code name, I'd be fine with it, but it's all the same character over a span of different movies and stories, that's what I can't get behind. It's not like Bond is a code name, 007 is his code name. If they went with a black guy for the 007 role, then I'd be more okay with it, as long as they didn't try and call him Bond. But, I think the movies need to retire the 007 role and expand the Bond Universe like Harry Potter and Star Wars and make solo movies with different agent code designations, then they could use a woman and a black guy, or anyone else they want and not have so much heat off of it.
@Knox2Don Hah, From an Anglo Perspective I agree. History and crossing so called White boundaries in cinema have no merit or logic. The point of my statement and its content was really quite simple. He who has the gold makes the rules, and Do as I say not as I do. It's silly I know but for some strange reason beyond me the Dominant culture in our society has NO problem casting their own in other stories about minorities but the minute a minority wants to play a White role it becomes an issue. According to Hollywood nobody wants to see minority characters telling a High dollar story especially in an Iconic role like Superman. Unfortunately we're not bankable. My point of the history lesson was to show no matter how accurate the history may be we'll always have to deal with WHITE Washed material but the line is crossed once a minority ever dares to tell a White story with Black or another minority in the lead role. Its become boring but JSG is correct there are still stupid lines we cannot cross when it comes to Anglo cherished characters. It is what it is
Lol:

- 4 tblspn Chocolate Syrup
- 2 tsp Cacao Liquor
Mix in a glass, pour over ice, and serve cold.

Yeah , that’s from the comic the movie seems to be based on
yes but in Black Panther he LEARNS that that way of doing things is wrong and opens Wakanda to the rest of the world. Did you watch the movie?
@@leafyishereisdumbnameakath4259 They talking about the comic dude
I think it would be fantastic to have Black Panther become white. Even better, put in a back story saying how the Africans of Wakanda simply couldn't run their own affairs, and needed a white guy to save their culture.
Imagine the hilarity that would ensue. The hate comments from enraged SJWs alone would be worth the lulz.
@@juicebox7372 The comic pushed the idea with Wakanda that a utopia would be a racially and culutrally homogenous militaristic absolute monarchy with strictly closed borders and a massive sense of cultural superiority. So North Korea but with vibranium, basically.
DC occasionally runs in the same problem with the home of the Amazons. Just change racial homogeny to gender homogeny. It's the exact opposite lesson we're supposed to take into the real world...not unless they really think everyone would get along perfectly fine if White people (and White men in particular) weren't around.
The main DC Comics universe already "Has" a black superman type character in it.
The character was called "ICON", he was even put in the end of Young Justice series one.
Why couldn't they make a movie about him?
The problem with Icon is that he is practically unknown outside comic books, in fact most comic book fans don't know about him.
There is no need for a black Superman movie, what we need is a good black super hero movie, let's hope that Cyborg's will be like that.
Hektols don’t think a lot of people knew about iron man outside the comics before the movies
@@harrisonotiso9234 Or Guardians of the Galaxy.
They could, but that's not how SJWs work. They operate on power trips. It's much better to hijack a popular character and stick their wokeness into everyone's face and if anyone objects...just call them out as out of touch bigots. They can't lose. Just ride the coattails of success and slap politics on it to feel superior.
@@johnbrooks4710 They are "taking territory." They're not interested in representation or even diversity, they are occupying territory held by white men. And I say this as a black guy--I see what's going on. I was extremely happy to see Black Panther getting his due--it's been fifty damn years, after all. But the Panther had always been his own black man, super in his own right, and I'm more happy to see him getting his due than seeing a black man merely stepping into a white man's buccaneer boots.
The Black James Olsen character in Supergirl already felt weird.
They didn't even have the decency to dye his hair red. Or, you know, have him wear a red wig since he was bald in the show. If you are going to have Jimmy be tan, and least keep him ginger.

@@hominiid me too!
Jason Momoa’s Aquaman kinda fits since his Hawaiian heritage has a culture that is ocean-centric. And Aquaman isn’t as iconic as Superman that has a pop cultural staple of the last century which is why rebranding him with Jason Momoa was a good move. It also plays well with Arthur’s issues as a “half-breed”.
@EdittZz In DC Comics he isn't. In DCEU, his mixed heritage is a visual presentation of being "half-breed".
There are so many great black super heroes that just don’t get enough attention. GL, Spawn, Martian Manhunter (not technically actually black but he’s usually shown as black), Miles but he’s getting more attention as of late and etc. there’s even plenty of non white super heroes to choose from that aren’t black, like Blue Beetle, or Kamala Khan. Make movies about them, get kids interested in them. But don’t change classic characters. Also, if the issue is about a lack of non white representation in popular comic books, then hire more authors and illustrators willing to create non white characters who are strong and compelling and don’t push a political or social agenda on people. If a character is black, just cause then hell yeah. I’ll read about them all day long. But I’ll never pick up a book that features a black main character just because the author wants to preach to me about social injustice. I read comics to escape reality, not be reminded how terrible I am for being white
ra's al ghul and bane shouldn't have been whitewashed but even if they weren't, SJWs would claim that they're making non whites evil
Sad thing is I'm white and constantly feel targeted for being unjust to other races just because I'm white. I've never done anything to have that happen. It's kinda sad that people expect us to apologize for things we never did.

Also Jason Momua does look like the late 90's aquaman from the comics. Other than hair color he fits the part of the badass aquaman.

Instead we got John Stewart's Green lantern in the show. Honestly his personality and **character** was much better for it.

The fact that people want to replace or re-do white and/or male characters to make them black and/or female is honestly annoying. There's nothing wrong with black or female heroes and villains, or characters in general, BUT MAKE NEW ONES! And make them good!
I find it funny that these people somehow don't realise that its not black and female characters people hate, its the fact that they want to replace/remake pre-existing and well loved characters with female or black versions.
but why would it matter if it doesnt have to do with his story
@@theshawnferrell Because it just shouldn't be done. That character has already been made, their story, skin colour, gender, everything about them already done. You can't just go and re-do it all. If you wanna make a black or female character you make a new one, you don't replace old ones with black or female versions.
TheDaxter11 you’re not redoing anything like you said there is already previous Superman’s they won’t be gone after the black was made you will still have it so what’s the problem
@@theshawnferrell The problem is that superman is white just like John Stuart is black, period, put it in your head and stop bothering others with your stupidities.

Imagine a white blackpanther, are you angry? Good. Same for white characters being black.
Blackwashing is not Ok
I didn't use any other black characters because most people who push for black characters don't know any other black heroes, like:
Static shock
Steel
Blade(Wesley needs to get appologies from all those who forget him)
Abar
Storm (they forget her often)
Plexus
Shadowman (This one needs attention, it's really good)
Night Thrasher (Kibblesmith's nightmares)
Spawn
these are just right out of my head, I could mention more if they want.
Say it louder for the people in the back
Okay I wasn't aware of any of those save for Static Shock, Blade, Storm and Spawn, now I am specially interested in Shadowman, he looks so badass!
Storm, John Stewart(Green Lantern), Luke Cage too
Yes because Superman is the embodiment of Nazi ideology. He has to be a *perfect* white man AKA *Ubermensch* - the ideal superior man of the future who could rise above conventional Christian morality to create and impose his own values
when he started talking about black panther and how "diverse" it was I was so happy that it wasn't just me with these opinions.
That article got it wrong. The radio show had nothing to do with Superman being able to fly. It was the original animated serial that made that change. The animators of the serial said it was time consuming to have Superman go through the motions of jumping, so they asked if they could have him fly instead. Go watch the old cartoon. It's beautiful animation and you can see for yourself.
Naw. Aquaman is a beast. He does more than talk to fish, Jason Momoa is a great choice. He looks the 90's aquaman
Drebodollaz Dollaz
I thought he was a good aquaman. I never thought aquaman could be cool. I also liked they got the villain to look more like the traditional aquaman
In what universe goes he look like arthur curry, man.
I’m cool with saying “this is an alternate universe, he is black.”
That’s fine. Alternate universes are great (as long as they aren’t copy pasted with small cosmetic changes) but don’t try and change the main universe for funsies. You can have Clark Kent “die” (he never really does lol) and another “Superman” who is black, step in.
Or just put John Irons and make a relevant Character better.

@@samuelchristie570 Yeah, just make a Return of SuperMan PoV Movie of him before he became Steel
Using the concept of a multiverse to introduce black characters suggests they don't or worse can't exist in our reality which I find more racist than having no people of colour at all.
@@MatthewSmith-wv5fi it suggests that if someone is white they can't just have always been black instead unless it's an alternate universe. Just like real life.
Remember Death of Superman? I loved reading that whole thing. I had a huge (2 inch thick) graphic novel with every issue of every part of the story, right down to the giant engines to fly Earth around as a mobile base. I loved it.
But what I really loved was the idea that one of these Supermen could be *THE* Superman. I mean, I just saw him die. He got beat by the only other creature in existence to literally brute force Superman to death. He won, but it cost him his life. He saved the world and made the ultimate sacrifice to do it.
And here's all these people trying to fill his shoes, and deal with the significant loss of essentially the cornerstone of the entire DC universe. And the coolest part about it was when Steel (amongst others) realized that they simply are not Superman and never will be. They can only do their best as themselves. They will never fill Superman's shoes, but that doesn't mean they stop trying to be heroes.
They should write stories like that more often.
Or nah, let's just make an established character a random gender and race instead. That's compelling.
There's a reason why Death of Superman is one of the highest selling DC stories of all time and still is. Look at how just recently they made animated movies out of it. Death of Superman is kind of like Marvel's Death of Captain Marvel in that it's just accepted as one of the best they ever printed and can't hope to copy successfully (look at how they tried to ape Death of Captain Marvel in the conclusion to Jane Foster's run as Thor but lacked to fortitude to close the deal and kill her for real).
I'm white. I'm gonna be cyborg. And I'm gonna be spawn. And maybe blade. Oh! And my absolute favorite black super hero STATIC SHOCK!!!
or icon, iconoclast, Jhon stewart. storm, bishop............. and i was contemplating doing 100

To be honest, I feel bad because I don’t think of Spawn as Black in the racial sense. I always think of him as Black in the demonic symbiote way..... I actually forgot he is canonically black even though I remembered one of his more iconic villains was his former partner and black. I genuinely feel bad and hope he doesn’t show up to stab me with sentient chains.
Didn't make sense, but they do have a White spawn
Lol I forgot spawn was black because of his devil face.
If they made a Calvin Ellis movie I'd be okay with it but a black Clark Kent is unacceptable. April O'Neil doesn't need to be black Starfire doesn't need to be black I'm actually sick and tired of all this black washing.
@@jeggsonvohees2201
Asians are considered just another type of white person to these people, unless we can be used as shields.
Starfire is supposed to have golden/orange skin. Even if a white actress played her, she'd need a spray tan. Having a black actress play her is fine, but she needs a spray tan.
Starfire is fucking copper toned... And copper is far closer to being on the spectrum of "black" skin tones, than "white" ones
April was half black in the mirage comics. Of course most people didn't read them as opposed to the cartoon.( myself mostly as well.)
@@The_Jimplication Baxter Stockman was black, as well. That bothered TF out of me in the cartoon. Not because I thought it was "whitewashing" (I was 13, so not thinking on any level like that); but because I thought "who TF is this guy?" Lol

but the genie is bluewashing to any actor that plays the part
Instead of Black Kal El, they should make an Icon movie...
Rather than Kal-El they do have Val-Zod to work with- and an Earth 2 movie would be an interesting different spin on DC. The Justice Society plays very different from the Justice League- Alan Scott's ring is not related to the emotional spectrum and for a guy who is called Green Lantern, he sure wears a lot of red and purple; Jay Garrick doesn't derive his powers solely from the Speed Force, etc. It's not as if the resources don't exist to satisfy the hypothetical demand for a black superman movie.
@@gtf234 I Rather have a black inspired Superman like Icon then just another hand me down who is the same race just with darker skin ,same powers and wear the same S just being called Superman. So no. fuck Val-Zod
@@SSJThug Yeah, that would honestly be better for representation than race washed Superman or just another Superman. You have Icon as already mentioned and Blue Marvel who was meant to be a black super hero as strong as Superman if I recall correctly. Either of them would fit their purposes and yet instead of doing research to find these types of characters, they just go "Hmmm, Supes is popular, change him to be black. What's that, a black Supes exist? Well...maybe we can use that but we'd rather race wash Clark Kent because people know him and so we won't have as much work establishing him so our virtue signaling comes with very little effort."
@@MysteriousTomJenkins is that that's why I can't get I refused to get into characters like Miles Morales, that Arabic Miss Marvel ,Riri William ,(but I'm getting into her now since she no longer in that category). They just represent or how lazy the industry are and how blind and fake fans really are. I mean they just they so the blerds make they're own kids say " finally a (insert iconic white male character) who look just like meeeee "
@@SSJThug It's a good thing no one cares about what you want. Someone gave you a perfect example of a black Superman and you shoot it down. So no, fuck you.
This is what I've started to hate about most Hollywood adaptations and reboots. They don't adapt the source material. They adapt their own story to the vague aesthetic of the "source material," and in doing so, degrading both, because they know no one would watch their story if it wasn't bolstered by the name of better work.
I wouldn't mind creativity one bit. But this is the opposite of that. Race swapping a character is not reason enough for a new movie in my book. And it's not creative, just lazy.
There is already a black Superman and he is in hobbs and Shaw.
I love you argument for Aquaman. "Because nobody cares or likes Aquaman"

"People still don't care about Aquaman, they care about Jason Mamoa!" Truth. XD
Ah, yes. Superman, the guy whose powers rely entirely on intake of solar radiation, should totally get skin with evolutionary design to protect from sunlight.
lol
Great point! XD
Lol
While darker colors do protect you from burning, darker colors absorb light better....and wouldnt a species that gains power from the sun have skin that can withstand its damaging radiation better? ....not that i think they should change superman at all though. but this particular point is not a great reason specifically as the science of it could be woven to fit, not that much work was put into it in the first place, lol.
@@Reazintful just a question I don't know the facts of this matter but weren't all humans originally dark skinned with the whole Africa is point zero of the human race? I read an article a while ago which stated that when humans started traveling around the globe (away from Africa) they developed lighter skin so that they could absorb more vitamin D to cope with the lesser sun strength, that's why Inuit or eskimo's are really light skinned. I do not know the exact effect of the sun and what part of it grants supes his power I do believe its radiation, however him being white could prove beneficial for his intake then again the darker the color the more sunlight it absorbs. Skin really is quite complex in the matter because we know that a darker color absorbs more sunlight but when facing a 'weaker' sun it slowly developed to a lighter color. would love to hear an explanation on this because my knowledge of biology really comes short.
please do know that this is how I remember it and isn't fact checked or anything.
Cavill has never rocked the classic "S" curl on the forehead, and it absolutely PISSES ME OFF!!! Because, he looks almost PERFECT.
The s curl is a lock that has fallen out of place.
yeah they can put it in but it has to look natural.
i think its better they give him his red trunks back breaks up all that blue
He sometimes has a curl! Pay attention
So glad we have a superhero who is impervious to being called racist. That's a superpower these days in the critic community. It's that bad. Rock on, man.
There already is a Black Superman. In fact there are 4, and that's just off the top of my head, and they're all great: Steel, Calvin Ellis, Val-Zod, and Icon.
He doesn't know anything because he's only seen a picture of Superman, and the only superhero movie he has seen was MCU. Like seriously... the Diversity take over circle is true.
I love how the people screaming most about inclusivity and representation want to remove certain others from the picture in the process.
7:47
I always knew that Superman's flying came from the Max Fleischer cartoons , before that Superman only jumped over tall buildings .But because they were harder to animate they gave him his flying powers.
And it was awesome 👍
I find it refreshing that a blackman (no insult intended) actually understands that pushing diversity for diversity's sake is stupid. I respect that whole-heartedly. Thank you sir.
Also: the "geniuses" behind the idea of Superman being black may wish to look into a character that has existed for about 3 decades now - Icon, who basically IS a black Superman.

I'm mixed race and I AGREE OH MY GOD, Dont make Clark black pls,just make a new superman
I'm a very White guy and I don't see the problem with Superman being White. That's what he's always been. Part of Clark Kent's charm underneath all the powers is that he's just a relatively simple goodhearted person who wants to help out because of the great values instilled in him by his parents. Even though he's White I would think that's the kind of thing to appeal to everyone. He happens to be White for reasons related to the racial policies of the time he was created, but he's also White *because* there just were (and are) a lot of White dudes in America.
The ignorance of this writer is so annoying. I've never read the comics but I've seen the movies. I've also seen the George Reeves Superman TV series because of my father. Superman is an icon and I know what he looks like in my head.
You can't reimagine an ICON.
Come up with something new and take a risk. People expect to see Superman a certain way. My favorite Superman is Dean Cain. I grew up watching Lois and Clark.

@@Sciuridae I thought dark colors absorb more radiation than lighter ones.
@@Bacchian dark colors absorb more yes. But organic chemistry and light radiation absorption is a completely different set of physics on its own.
@@Bacchian Dark colours yes, not darker skin. Dark colours absorb light and that's why they look dark, but darker skin is due to evolution trying to protect the skin from radiation. Melanin acts as a shield against ultraviolet radiation while lighter skin absorbs the radiation. We need the radiation to produce vitamin D but in warmer parts of the world, such as Africa, the body is exposed to much more of the radiation than it needs than colder parts of the world, say Norway, where the weather can lead to long periods of very little sun.
Thus africans have darker skin because they get plenty of radiation to produce vitamin D and instead needed the extra melanin to ward itself from the sun, while northerners have lighter skin to absorb as much radiation as possible during the time it has access to it in preperation to the periods that it won't. It's for example why we tan. When our skin is affected by the radiation it starts to produce more melanin in order to protect itself. But if it already has low melanin it can only do so much against the sun and instead ends up being burned and damaged much faster than if it already had a high amount of melanin to build upon.
@@Bacchian It's actually quite an interesting thing to read up on. It's amazing how clever the body can be when it comes to protectiong itself from nature, and how the defence mechanisms changes over a relatively small surface simply depending on the environment around it, like how much forest is available for example.

Anybody remember when Lex Luthor was portrayed as a person of mixed race in the DCAU which was broadly acclaimed as one of if not the greatest adaptation of comics into another medium and it wasn't treated as some massive scandalous push towards diversity? Pepperidge Farm remembers.
Was he though? He was kind of swarthy and big lipped but was he ever stated to be mixed race? He was within the spectrum of possible looks for full white people.
@@Targisvear Never explicitly stated within the show but he is coded as black/mixed so I should say something more along the lines of "ethnically ambiguous". Also, if that's not enough for you, thanks to this show, I grew up with Jon Stewart and didn't know who Hal Jordan was until I personally got into comics.
Edit: I just realized that sounded a little like I was pissed at the show's staff about their choice of GL but he's actually my favorite.
I've seen comments below doing the same argument you do but that Animated Series Superman was tanned and dark haired, but both arguments kind of sound like how paranoid racists go around studying features of white people to see if there's any hidden mixed person, so it is the kind of argument we should be careful to use because it can be counterproductive. I think Stewart is a better point since he is replacing a previous main white character, he clearly is black, and he is a good guy. If one takes Lex as being "coded non-white"... does that make him an evil person of colour and Superman the white protector of whiteness? (You see why I think we should be careful about stuff like this).
@@Targisvear I actually never watched the SAS I'm going on JL and JLU but I guess it would be better of we played it safer and didn't reach. Also, Amanda Waller is still black and she's posed as a villain in a similar way to Luthor as someone with tons of power who's always playing their angles. There's nothing wrong with a black villain. Black people are just people, same as whitey.
My black villain point is more when simultatenous posed against a white hero AND when the villain is particularly sleazy or bent on world domination and not too simpathetic, that may make it sound like the hero is defending whiteness from a non-white rather than good from villain. Waller did bad stuff for political US aims which is not good but not exactly all the attempts to kill heroes and rule the world of Lex, and she never really had race coding problem since she works with and against people of all colours and looks, and much of the Suicide Squad work under her was in Third World countries against people lighter or as dark as her. That's why we both agree we shouldn't reach on codings. Lex may not look like his voice actor Clancy Brown (aside a bit on the eyes and lips which are still thinner), but he looks pretty close in colour and features to another voice actor of his Powers Bothe, also white, pretty swarthy himself.
Jason Momoa looks a lot more like Conan the Barbarian but he couldn't save his Conan movie. Brandon Routh could pass for Christopher Reeve's brother but a lame script tanked his turn as Superman.

Funny thing is imagine seeing Bishop in an X-Men film as a white guy. Its not an issue of being racist its about being true to the source material. My favorite Green Lantern is John Stewart and ot has nothing to do with skin color.
Jon was the best lantern and probably the strongest of all time, and yet he was relatable because that strength of will came from his time in the Marines and that training comes across in his personality all the time. In fact, the slight social awkwardness that military training brings out between him and his fellow heroes in his banter while always stepping up with an insight, encouragement, or quip is a part of his charm. I miss him so.
Hal Jordan for me, but I'm more casual as a green lantern fan. I'm more about superman and Nightwing.
I wasn't mad that Jordan played a traditionally white character in F4... It was the terrible way they went about it. It would have been more acceptable to me if he was Reed instead. Or make his sister black too. It was just sloppy in my opinion.
@@Bruh-lq7ev adoption
i was more pissed that he was the meh actor from Percy Jackson.
I thought he should have been Reed as well. When I found out he was playing Johnny, my biggest gripe was that Sue wasn't black as well. Then the movie sucked and none of it mattered.
Johnny is already well known as the blond douchebag frat boy character so it didn't make sense to me. If they had made Ben mixed it would have still fit the character imo.
I actually had a bigger problem with Miles Teller being cast as Reed Richards. Dude should be in his 40's, and Miles looks like he's 12. It really speaks to how bad the casting was in that film.
