How many A-list fictional characters are there who are non-white?

Also, can I just mention how earth-shatteringly ironic it is that a movie about a subtly racist, isolated ethno-state is being applauded as progressive? It's almost poetic.

The message of the movie is that being a isolated state and ignoring the rest of world is a bad thing though.

But that's the point of the movie, that Wakanda's values were outdated and problematic.
 
I'm going by Messiah's standards, though. He's talking a Marvel level blockbuster. Obviously a Jules movie would get asses in seats, including mine.

Fair enough. I wouldn't use Marvel as a standard for this, going back to my GOTG example, with the Marvel formula being what it is and everyone and their gran suddenly being Marvel diehards they can make whatever horse**** they want and it'll gross no less than $750m, so it's a false standard IMO.

That's fair, I get that it's a parable, I just find the fact that they ran with that ironic nonetheless.

Can you imagine a movie where a bunch of thinly-veiled white supremacists learn the error of their ethno-state? We wouldn't even entertain the idea of an Asian or Hispanic version because, I mean, does Hollywood care about them?

My biggest observation though is that a cast all of one race was celebrated in this instance and erroneously praised for raising 'diversity' when it's anything but, that's the biggest irony.

Okay this alt right false equivalency needs to stop.

Imagine if there were a Black Wall Street that was burned to the ground by white racists and blacks created another Black Wall Street underground.

Would that be the same as neonazis creating a white nationalist authoritarian regime?

Of course not.

Basically by saying Wakanda is the same as the alt right's white nationalism you're suggesting Africa suffering through civil strife precipitated by a brutal chattel slave trade and massive exploitation via imperialism are the same as the white genocide narrative racist use in mildly, racially diverse meritocracies.

But here's the thing, imperialism is real victimhood with real urgency where as the white genocide argument is myth used to incite racism and unnecessary segregation.

The vast majority of Muslims are not terrorist.

The vast majority of Latinos are not gang members.

Immigrants are not parasites. They improve the economy.

The vast majority of blacks are not unemployed, poor or criminals.

The alt right argument for isolationism is based on lies.

Wakanda's is not.

Ultimately the movie says Wakanda has good reason to be isolationist for a while but ultimately helping the world become a better place is more important.

This not a message that's just tacked onto the end. It's the core of the film.

To be fair, only one person was against the isolationist viewpoint...and that was Nakia...that the hero has a love interest in. T’Challa did change his mind at the end to keep Nakia from leaving lol.

But yes, he does come around and open his borders.

. Guardian Prime (Nigeria)

08-Guardian-Prime.jpg


Guardian Prime is billed by creator Jide Martin as Nigeria’s answer to Superman. As part of Nigeria’s COMIC Republic universe, Prime is the latest in a long line of Earth Guardians, the physical embodiment of the fifth element: Man.
Young Eko City native and fashion designer, Tunde Jaiye, has been selected by Earth spirit Gaya to be the newest incarnation of the Guardian. As Guardian Prime, he possesses the stock superhero powers of flight, invincibility, strength and speed but can also generate fire and pass his own invulnerability onto something other than himself.
The COMIC Republic universe is similarly populated with other characters like the Ghost Rider-esque Eru and warrior queen Ireti, who make up part of Prime’s crew The Vanguards. Martin hopes to inspire young Nigerians and this passion is best exemplified in a line that Prime himself delivers in: “All it takes for evil to succeed is for good men to stand by and do nothing. I won’t stand by. I am Nigerian.”




13. Latifa (Saudi Arabia)

13-Latifa.jpg


Latifa is a new character in the comics world – so new that her first issue dropped the same month as this list. Since she’s still fresh, there’s not much to say for the time being. However, the premise of this character and her proposed background are interesting to say the least.

Created by Fahad Al Saud and written by “Batman Beyond” scribe Stan Berkowitz, Latifa is one of many protagonists found in New Arab Media’s “Saudi Girls Revolution” universe. The goal of this brand is to create content with female leads that are, as the design doc put it, “not constrained by any religious or political status quo.” Latifa herself would be best described as the Red Sonja of a post-apocalyptic world, scouring the land with a talking sword in search of vengeance.
A cool idea to say the least, so we’re very excited to see where Al Saud and Berkowitz plan on taking Latifa going forward.
