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

[John Clark]

Saturn 3.

It’s terrible.

I often like terrible movies, particularly SF. But this one is really so bad. It’s biggest sin is that it’s *boring*.

Huh, I'd forgotten Harvey Keitel was in that.

 

[Rowdy Roddy McDowall]

Farrah Fawcett was briefly nude in it. Must-see.

I'm holding out for that Sternhagen chick from OUTLAND and THE MIST.

It’s ok. So did he.

Originally her suit was governed by an AI using a version of Stark's personality, that presented as a force ghost, who was starting to look like the big bad in the upcoming arc in "Iron man" but the writer Jumped ship for DC.

I'm not sure about the 'big bad'. Pretty sure the MCU version wouldn't be anyway.

Well, as soon as AI figures out we suck, they wonder why the heck they drudge so hard for us.

the recent Discovery incident really backs me up that Hollywood SUCKS right now - they speak of diversity, but they only use it to cover their own asses, to make sure everyone is included so they won't be called out for NOT including someone.. but they have no CLUE what diversity REALLY means

Another baseless assertion that you can't back up with anything.

The rest of us have returned to on-topic discussion here. You should, too.

 

[Flying Spaghetti Monster]

so what is the topic? A black female lead in a marvel movie? Do you really think that such a film would actually be ABOUT diversity, or what black women face? Do you really think it is anything but a way to make sure they just have a black woman lead just so they can get lambasted for not having one. Hollywood is in the sensitivity era

 

[theenglish]

Using that kind of language in any office is grounds for dismissal, and possible a hate crime depending on who is around and how it is used.

 

[gblews]

but they have no CLUE what diversity REALLY means

And you do...?

Do you really think that such a film would actually be ABOUT diversity, or what black women face?

You have no clue.

Why would Marvel make a movie with a black female lead "about" diversity? And why would a movie with a black female lead have to be about what "black women face"?

You should just stick your original point, "diversity sucks".

OH, OH! Tell us! Tell us... what does diversity REALLY mean?!?

I'm sorry, that's all I can say.

 

[JD]

I'll see that, and raise you this

Yeah, it really sucks you can’t use the n-word anymore.

 

[Flying Spaghetti Monster]

he was recounting a story where cops used the n word. And he was doing it in a star trek writers room.. the same franchise that is supposed to understand context (remember far beyond the stars) the same franchise that is supposed to be creatively free.. and he is a prestigious writer. I'm sure if the someone had a problem with him using the word they could have told him directly, but instead, they are oh so sensitive and had to make a call to HR.. because everyone is damn afraid of being racist.. why would anyone want to work in Hollywood. and it goes all the way to MCU.. they are creating more diversity out of fear.. not creativity

I’m capable of reading and I’m not referring to the writer.
