Do people seriously not get the difference between forced and organic representation?

Tbh.... I want a John Stewart Green Lantern movie...

And i want him to be a Tuskegee Airmen instead of a Marine

 

Brie Larson.

 

You get an "A" for effort

 

in real life she goes by Captain Marvel...or is it the other way around?

 

But many of us don’t think it’s okay. As I said in my last post, many simply think anything fictitious is fair-game. Take the many interpretations of Sherlock Holmes; any interpretation of these stories should be primarily based in Victorian England. Not the present day / future / WWII.

 

so are you opposed to my planned 13 volume series of time-travelling Sherlock Holmes stories?

 

But then the same movie/story would be told over and over again.
On the topic of Sherlock, we have a huge sherlock holmes section in my library. Sherlock goes to Japan, Sherlock in Ireland etc.
There is the "Warlock Holmes" (paranormal Sherlock Holmes) series.
There is another series where Sherlock and Watson are black queer females in a futuristic Washington DC (one has a bionic arm....i forget which one tho)

The beauty of a fictional character is that its up to interpretation. Everyone who reads the one before has their own interpretation of the character or the story and retells it in their own way/style.
I think thats a great thing

 

There are childrens books with well known Starwars characters as children. Luke, Leia, Han and everyone didnt know eachother as kids. But in this series, they are all in it together because the creators wanted to bring in a new age group into the SW geekdom

 

That’s fair enough. I know many share that opinion, but I don’t.

 

I could go for a Jon Stewart Green Lantern movie.

 

I should point out that I'd love to be pleasantly surprised by the Black Superman movie, it just feels like at least a bit of the plot is gonna be civil rights, again, given the time period the movie apparently takes place in.
I don't have an issue overall, it just bugs me cause a white superman can do all the things a black superman can even if he did arrive in that time period.
A couple of my favorite superheroes are black (and one of them was played by Eddie Murphy, I doubt anyone remembers that one though) and if the movie is good I'm glad. I'd just rather not have a superman film bogged down by an unnecessary civil rights sub plot.

Interesting to know that a Black Superman exists though, I don't read comics so I don't know a lot of the lore. Into The Spiderverse is how I found out about Miles Moralis and now he's one of my favorite spidermen.

 

Google "white savior" trope... Thats why black superman for that era would be preferable over white superman

 

As a Justice League/Justice League Unlimited fan, I was bummed that the first green lantern movie wasn't about John Stewart. I want the man and his alien girlfriend on the big screen!

 

If you saw how bad that movie came out you were probably glad it wasn't

 

Even In the Justice League animated movies, Guy Gardiner and Hal Jordan are the ones primarily featured

 

I was very glad. I only saw it once and it bored me to death, but now it's time for the DC movie gods to pay retribution and make a greater John Green Lantern movie.

Yeah . I mean, the guy did get, I think, two to three seasons in the DCAU, but the fact that the movies focus so much on Hal and Guy . I don't think Kyle or Simon has had a featured animated appearance yet either.

 

Wait wait wait.... Back up.... What??
Is there another series im missing????
I was talking about the DC animated movies... Like Flashpoint, Red Son (tho they all died preeeeety quick), War, Throne of Atlantis, etc. It was either Hal or Guy in those


I too miss Justice League/Unlimited. I thought John and Hawkgirl's son would be in the Young Justice series, even though he is a future universe character, but since he met him when John went to the future, i thought maybe they'd find a way to keep him in there

 

i thought it was called Tom Cruise syndrome

 

Yeah, I know. Hal and Guy are mainly in the newer DC 52 animated movies and John is in the DCAU, which is the DC Animated Universe, which... I think, span from Batman the Animated Series to Batman Beyond, and JLU is somewhere in the middle. (Some people call it the Timmverse or Diniverse, I think DCAU just sounds better.)

 

Indeed

 

Not quite the only one.

 

Bizarro Superman is grey.

 

I've never even heard of any of them.
