Marvel films, it's time for a Black female lead

maybe you are right that John Talks isn't the best source ever, but a few of these flashy sites report it and once you get rid of all the flash etc, and maybe just maybe there is some truth to the tweets i posted that were caches and the tweets she deleted. Oh I suppose not just because you guys don't wish it to be true

I know I said I was staying out of the conversation, but posting video by people with alt right views really does the opposite of supporting your cause.
 
To be fair in this situation I don't think the source matters so much as the fact that so many tweets were deleted. Why she did it you can't trust the source unless we are saying them being deleted is a lie. On the surface though it doesn't look good to do that.. You got think she doesn't want something to be seen. Of course there is no evidence to prove anything so who knows. As someone who is not a fan of the cancel culture I am guessing is she did something worthy of a apology and nothing more. Jason

right. I never said it was conclusive proof. I did show that she possibly said racist things that were cached. I also showed alter that many tweets were deleted upon hiring. I am not saying much in terms of drawing conclusions, but like Lije Baley on Aurora you can you can create a string of logic to create a supposition. But instead of considering that.. or at least notching that somewhere.. people here tend to be willingly naive and then they will personally attack me as the only way to deal with it.. instead of actually considering anything at all that doesn't work for their own argument ..

I mean, when you first brought that topic up you didn't say that there was inconclusive proof that she might be a racist, you just said she was a racist. That kinda suggests you considered the proof conclusive.
 
Breaking News: because a a minority on the Internet complained , Marvel will now recast a certain number of characters to match their gender and race.
Captain Marvel, Black Widow, the Wasp, Black Panther, Scarlet Witch and Groot will now all be white males in their upcoming movies.

So, to recap, several people on youtube said some woman possibly said racist things, so that's enough proof for you that she's racist (towards white men, ofc, you don't care about anyone else, obv).

Conversely, several people here have told you your language is bigoted and racist, but that is not enough proof that you are racist.

Where's your "string of logic" now, buddy? :shrug:
 
Whyb should I? For you?
I literally just explained this in the post you quoted. You should quit this particular argument for your own benefit because you keep digging the hole deeper and deeper into making yourself look either extremely ignorant or bigoted or both. What else is there to say that you haven't repeated several dozen times already? People aren't buying what you're selling.
I stand by my argument that the standards of entertainment should be about immersion and verisimilitude first.. throwing politics and diversity should compliment the story and not be the story or the sole reason for the story.
Yet you have utterly failed to demonstrate how and where that is happening with any significance, instead choosing to decry any diverse casting as part of the alleged problem.
Oh and remember when I brought up the head of the ms. marvel show and people asked where i got my info.. and I responded right away? Well it turns out she deleted 5000 tweets right after they announced she'd be writing the show

Yeah, I remember when you brought her up. I remember it had almost nothing to do with the discussion at hand except to further demonstrate your resentment of minorities and women encroaching on your Precious comic book films.

I remember I just ignored the tangent, so I'm not sure why you're bringing her up with me or in response to my post.

I remember you used questionable bigoted and sexist sources like 4chan and shitty YouTube vloggers to support your claims, as well as out of context quotes by Ali made in justifiable frustration and links by her (to call out hypocrisy) to racist hashtags that meant the opposite point of what you thought they did (#White_Genocide is a white supremacist twitter account suggesting that minorities are diluting the purity of the white race, not Bisha K. Ali calling for genocide against white people as you implied). Remember the "very fine people" Neo-Nazis at Charleston who were shouting "The Jews will not replace us!" while carrying tiki torches? Yeah, those guys.

You're just going on a circular non-sequitur rant against women and minority representation in comic book films without logic or evidence or worthwhile argument. Let it go.

Ok...where are the examples of forced diversity?
MCU Nick Fury, Heimdall and Valkyrie are not members of the Aryan race! Clutch de pearls! How can I immerse myself in any of the Marvel films? Help me!
Thankfully DC movies know how to keep those people in their place, right Perry White?

But that's not the fault of the film...that's the fault of the people who can't handle diversity.
What do you mean, they can't handle the truth!

But if they only hired white men, those people wouldn't complain. That seems to be what he's getting at. We should listen to whiny bigots because they can't handle reality and need a fantasy world to soothe them.

I'm just unsure why anyone would take this seriously, because I can't stop laughing at it.
Please call freephone 0800 SWM (Save the White Male) you unsympathic female!!!

Sadly Logic like Truth and Facts are dying in our culture
 
Specifically why is it time? In terms of storyline why is now the right moment? Why not 5 years ago or 5 years from now? Is there a particular storyline featuring a black female superhero you think is relevant to now?

I think it's past time Storm got her due. Not because she's black but because she's awesome and hasn't been done right yet. That's my reason.

Shipp at least was several steps up over Berry. Berry's Ororo was less faithful to the character with her ''gonna''s and ''dammit''s. (That might have been the screenwriter's doing.)
 
Anyone remember Morgan Freeman's Lieutenant Black in EYEWITNESS?
''That should be an easy name to to remember.'' (Freeman's quote......and later, James Woods's as well.):cool:
