Stan Lee isn't racist it's just his earlier heroes reflected his upbringing and surroundings we're talking Washington Heights before the latinos came in so it makes sense to write what you know but then he has expanded with the X-Men by diversifying the modern day superhero
@@NYvandal I’m not waiting, only inquiring about why this is currently the case. Further, it is the responsibility of larger execs in the movie/superhero industry with representational power to create stories about/ depict more diverse stories than the current convention maintains. If they’re going to continue to make these kinds of stories, why not include more diversity to reflect the people who watch these films? Democracy not just in government, but film as well means a mirroring representation of the people that create a commonwealth. In Marvel’s case, this should include more diversity in the people chosen to be depicted as society’s role models and superheroes.
@py16667 and you do have to admit, maybe i just notice it because im Mexican American but there really isnt many popular latino/hispanic super heroes. If you dive deep you will find a handful of course but i can definitely name more black and white superheros than latinos. Its just an interesting little thing ive noticed.
He’s smart. And I understood why he made comics the way he did. People can’t say he was racist. He made heroes of all colors. Purple, Green. But he began gearing towards actual Ethnicity. That’s different. That’s Special.
Thank you Lee. I am forever grateful to all of the people like you, before & now who have in their own ways always used their platforms to help eradicate racism by contributing to broaden people's perspective about minorities. A lot of you are not recognized, not given praise when the truth is, a lot might not have been achieved by people like you too. So thank you very much.
There are lots of Latino superheroes: Blue Beetle III, Ghost Rider (Robbie Reyes), White Tiger, Spider-Man 2099, Bunker, and I know there are more, but at the moment I can't think of any.
yeah...but most of em are LEGACY characters... i think they're talkin bout the ORIGINAL ones...LIKE Black Panther, Luke Cage.. well, y'know what them latino fanboys and gals should ask those latino comic book CREATORS, there are TONS of em... George Perez...Jose Luis Garcia-Lopez...Phil Jimenez...Daniel Acuna, Jesus Merino..Carlos Pacheco... they've all been AROUND the industry... ask em how come there haven't been a Black Panther for the latino fans...?? the same with african americans...there was Dwayne McDuffie..but, he made great animated stories..not so much on the characters (at least not in the black panther level)... the Asians...they got Jim Lee, Jim Cheung, Sean Chen...where are their asian creations that really blew up..?? at least, they got manga over in Japan...and some cool Indian characters in India....
zman100gospel Ikr!!! I think it's so weird for someone to say something like. "He's not white, he's German." Like are you serious? What color is he then? German isn't a color & neither is American. Lol people can be so surprisingly ignorant it's just absurd!
What Stan Lee just said makes more sense than trying to validate the the "race" or ethnic background of a character through story. It is like when you make an avatar for a game you tend to choose that which is more similar to you in order to make it more immersive in a way as you go through your adventure. If you want more representative superheroes the writers should also have that cultural identity and upbringing. In regards to population there should be about half and half men and women some black, Latino, and Asian and others but that would be a long list. Also ethnic doesn't mean people that are not white. It is the cultural identity that you consider yourself a part of. I mean "white" in itself is pretty diverse but there seemed to be an emphasis on assimilation which made people either voluntarily or by force give up or downplay their own ancestral roots and culture. Blacks and whites are never questioned in the "Americaness" yet those that fall in between are questioned in their origins most of their lives. This is already longer than most will read so to sum it up these are issues that need to be talked about in a civil manner that comes from a place of understanding and if not that at least empathy, were just not there yet and who knows if we will ever be.
It about time he started working on a Latino superhero. I know that when he was born the period of that time was different but, COME ON. It 2014 could he started around 2000.
Where you been they are plenty latino superheroes The second Power Man Arana This is only a few names but they about over 50+ superheroes in comic fandom.
I am going to give him the benefit of the doubt by thinking it didn't come out like it sounded. I am Latino and I wonder if he meant outside the country or within the country? I got more in the beginning that it was a Latino from Latin america and Chinese from China. However towards the end it started sounding like within America. So I hope that is not how he was meaning it because there is no such thing as a true american by race only American in patriotism. He also looks very intelligent to think that way even for his time.
Black Panther's is a character based in Africa, his homeland.. Do you honestly want an American version of the Latino world or more authentic where your roots stem from and showing everyone else your culture and traditions? I honestly wish this was something black people would complain about..whether or not to be offended by something like being considered American or not regarding Stan Lee's comments 😣
Hopefully the Latino superhero ain't corny or from a specific Latin country. Marvel should try to make him/her (latino) from an unknown latino country. Make him or she a true blend of white,black skin (light brown)...in order to please all Latinos.
Well y'all in luck I've been working on a super heroes that is a latino myself for 11 years and I want to make it happen, in the big screen🤩🤩 and be first latina women to create the first Latinos heroes. That's my biggest goal there🤩😍
I'll be first in line for a Black Panther superhero movie, or any super hero who is black. And don't forget about woman superheros and lgbt super heros too!
did you watch the spawn movie????? or the blade movies?????? you know, those guys are black superheroes. yet for some reason people kepp complaining about "why they never make movies with black superheroes?"
cleany18 That's not the point also meteor man did have a marvel universe comicbook. But that's not the point , my point is their been black superheroes. Every one forgets in the early 90's M.A.N.T.I.S. live action tv series. He Was The First Black superhero on tv plus he was handicap ... He was a cross between batman and Ironman. You can find episodes on RUclips ,Hulu and Netflix.
I'm not talking about your point I'm taking about the peoples point on "MARVEL SUPERHEROS" which the interview is based on someone that is related to MARVEL.. they only got a hand full of African superheros in the "MARVEL" universe why?
Hope is Jaguar a legendary superhero who protected the indigenous people from the jungle ...or chespirito a superhero who Fights for justice back in the days protecting the poor and innocent.he has a Hammer like Thor but more powerful also the Ability to know When danger is near...
I think Stan might of been working on that characters before/whilst he died. He also didn’t do it earlier in his career because there was less latino representation in main stream American culture at that time. But I would like to see more latino characters in marvel films and movies but I don’t think you could exactly call it discrimination (To me knowledge).
What about Spider-Man 2099, he's hispanic and from the future this could be an awesome story if we get a glimpse of the future and he goes back in time
its cool that they are starting more heroes with different races,but i hope people realize races arent why we like the superheroes. we like spiderman,captain america,star lord, etc not because their white but because of their personalitys and stuff. we shouldnt create new superheroes for the sake of having more races. but since they are i hope these new ones still have cool personalitys
+mike mun I do not think that is correct. He made the X-Men because of racism. Magneto is Malcolm X and Prof.X is Martin Luther King jr. those guys where the bases of the characters.
Well during that time it would not have gotten much attention if he did that right off the bat. It was a representation. He did branch out with Black Panther in Fantastic 4 and Storm, Thunderbird and Sunfire.
I can't wait for the Latino Superhero!!!

Well the first comic hero if I'm not wrong was the mask of zorro which was created off of joaquin Murieta. If I'm not mistaken.
Stan Lee represent Excellence across the Board.
Excelsior!
I'm glad Larry asked the tough question of why hasn't there been a Latino superhero? It's exactly what I've wondered
Why don't you create one instead of waiting for someone else to do it for you?

Are you an idiot?
No there just wasn’t as much as there was now. I’m Latino I don’t think it was in his thoughts to create a superhero he didn’t know the culture of.
