Marvel's Black & Minority Characters: Roundtable Discussion

[Manic]

I liked him in that, but I thought the other actors all did really well too. Zoe Deschanel and Bill Nighy were my favorites, I think.

I'm looking forward to Mos Def in Be Kind, Rewind. It's on my Netflix list.

Her name is spelled Zooey. I'm not correcting you to be a jerk. I just like pointing out her name is Zooey. t:

And Bill Nighy (whose name I've never figured out how to pronounce) is always awesome.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Friday was hilarious. I was kind of disappointed to see him make it all franchisey with a bunch of sequels.

But they only got funnier with each progressing one

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Eh.

Her name is spelled Zooey. I'm not correcting you to be a jerk. I just like pointing out her name is Zooey. t:

And Bill Nighy (whose name I've never figured out how to pronounce) is always awesome.

I think it's "NYE-gee" with a hard g there.

Thanks for the correction on Deschanel's name. I thought I spelled it wrong, but I didn't feel like bothering to check IMDB.

 

[T'Jai]

Eh.

it's NYE-hee, since we're being all correct about stuff

corrected for veracity, not to be nasty

 

[T'Jai]

so... Ryders' back (Skrull Kill Krew) with triathalon in the initiative good times...

 

[Manic]

Does Xavin count as a black character? He/She's a Skrull, but he/she always chooses to look like a black guy/girl.





In hindsight, a better question would concern which gender Xavin is.

 

[T'Jai]

which also brings into play crusader, who desperately needs a new costume

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I guess you could say Crusader's black now. He renounced his Skrull heritage in the last issue of A:TI, so presumably he's leaving his body in the form of a black man permanently.

 

[Varient]

meh.

COS - I've been Watching Jeremiah on the Sci fi channel.

Anybody else? I'm kinda hooked.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Always meant to watch it, but I never got around to it. It's an interesting concept. Plus it's got Theo!

 

[Varient]

He's a large part of why I like it,....

But it is a great "End of the World" series.

If I could just make time to watch it all every weekend,....

 

[T'Jai]

so Aegis is dead and dishonored with little to no fanfare (hell I forgot to write about it for a month)and the Leader of the Skull kill krew who is/was black is revealed to actually be a skrull....


yay Marvel

 

[Darthphere]

Does Black Panther still suck? Don't answer, I already know.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

so Aegis is dead and dishonored with little to no fanfare (hell I forgot to write about it for a month)and the Leader of the Skull kill krew who is/was black is revealed to actually be a skrull....


yay Marvel

Aegis is probably coming back. Athena, Herc, and Cho are heading to Hades to save him and Zeus.

 

[BLACKVULCAN]

Does Black Panther still suck? Don't answer, I already know.

it doesnt suck as much as War Machine does. only the guest appearance of
Ares has made it the least bit interesting. must we get a computer kill tally of every freaking person in the world!!!!

and the Leader of the Skull kill krew who is/was black is revealed to actually be a skrull....
yay Marvel

i like that dude! Booooooooooo for that!

 

[Franklin Richards]

That skrull was black in his heart, man.



Now these guys need a mini or an ongoing.

The Ranger's are chock full of chulos. Even a redneck and a blonde chick.


* Firebird - Bonita Juarez is a pyrokinetic and may be immortal.
* Phantom Rider - Hamilton Slade is the latest Phantom Rider.
* Red Wolf - William Talltrees imbued with the spiritual legacy of Owaydota.
* Shooting Star - Victoria Star uses a pair of specially-designed "star shooters".
* Texas Twister - Drew Daniels has the psychokinetic ability to form tornadoes.
* Armadillo - Antonio Rodriguez, a mutate given super strength and durability by Karl Malus (Was removed from team for sexually harassing teammate Shooting Star)
* Living Lightning - Miguel Santos, an electrical manipulator.



We want a Ranger's mag, dammit!

 

[BLACKVULCAN]

That skrull was black in his heart, man.

Blackheart!?!? wasnt that, that emo (thats what it called right) daddy dont love trench, coat wear, mascara wearing sorry ass villian in Ghost Rider movie. come on! my boy in the SKK was better than that.

We want a Ranger's mag, dammit!

i will give you Texas Twister( you can't beat a redneck cyclone *&^% kicker), Living lightning( i like electrical throwing guys... hmm remind me of somebody else i know? his name escapes me now) Red Wolf( Lobo is cool as hell! hey how come he wasnt a pet avenger? it's discrimination i tell you), Phantom is cool, but didnt shooting star get found out to be an Alien other than a skrull( she's out). Armadillo( we wont even go there) and Firebird is way too religious for me Frank.they are much better when they are naughty and i likes em naughty! hehe

 

[TheCorpulent1]

This is what Blackheart really looks like:

Forget the movie.

 

[T'Jai]

Aegis is probably coming back. Athena, Herc, and Cho are heading to Hades to save him and Zeus.

really cause when Athena said " No retrieving it gives us no tactical advantage. and had he been an effective champion he'd still be alive" suggested otherwise to me...

That skrull was black in his heart, man.

Well since he has actually always thought he was Human and Black I guess we can give him a pass

Now these guys need a mini or an ongoing.

I'd give it at least three to catch me...

Least one of the new Nova's is black hope he doesn't get taken out in the first salvo...

 

[TheCorpulent1]

The first new Nova was blue. Poor Ko-Rel. Poor, poor Ko-Rel.

 

[BLACKVULCAN]

Thanks Corp
but I knew what the "real" ( dont you just love "real" in the use of comic books. it's so surreal. i love it)" Blackheart" was i just saw an opening for some delicious wordplay with Frank. i cant help it's the joker in me).that was a really bad movie villain though

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Yes, it was. Although I liked Ghost Rider. It was like a kitschy, campy counterpoint to the seriousness of most of the other comic movies out there.

 

[BLACKVULCAN]

hey me too my man! i love some Ghost Rider i bought the DVD. i just wish they would have use a better villain, but i dug it unlike alot of people i have seen on here

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I can understand how a Ghost Rider fan would hate it. Me, I like Dan Ketch, so f***ing up a Johnny Blaze movie doesn't bother me one bit. It had that fun, B-movie air to it. You could tell even the actors didn't take it too seriously.

 

[BLACKVULCAN]

i agree with your earlier statement about it being counter point to all "serious" superhero movie. not every comic flick has to be dawn out dark pathos of " geez! my life sucks cause i got superpowers and i cant love nobody". whoa is me. For a brief moment when GR came out i was able to just be a kid when i read comics for the 1st time with that if only they made a movie of this guy. i would *&^%$ myself! hehe. it was just a popcorn movie. i think alot of people was expecting a "alas poor Mephistopheles why have dost done this to me." flick .me i just loved dude tearing up the street with that hog!that was *&^%$ bad ass!
