People haven't let Iron Fist go even with Shang Chi and possibly Namor coming. No way are we gonna see another white blonde martial artist protagonist |

You're talking about race swapping specifically a white character and that's not really true either. I was just as disappointed that one of my favorite Joes from the cartoon wasn't played by a black actor because then it's just not Roadblock the way I grew up liking the guy and was hoping to see him on the big screen. Should've been Terry Crews, not the Rock.

I found that casting Ironic cause its usually female roles that are played by biracial actresses |

I'm sure when I originally objected to the Rock playing Roadblock several people must've pointed out that he was part black. It didn't stick with me because I've never been a fan of his and don't give him any thought. Vin Diesel is half black, too. Would still be an awful choice as he looks 0% black and 0% like Roadblock. Wentworth Miller is half black and according to your logic, that alone makes him perfect for Roadblock: https://cimg.tvgcdn.net/i/2011/09/13...th-miller1.jpg Obviously he's not. Quote:
I'm not sure you're really being serious or if your opinions are just that bad. Another post or 2 from you will make it transparent. Last edited by lantern48; 09-17-2019 at 05:22 AM.. |

What the shit? This is my second post in this thread, and the first one no one replied to as it was pretty non combative. Hell, my last post was pretty non-combative as well.

I'm just saying you really don't have the right to say who is "black enough" to play a part in a movie. If you said he didn't rhyme enough, that'd be an ok criticism. |

Ok, I'll agree on this one. I mistook him for someone else that was older. Just looked him up and he's not who I though he was. My bad!

Comics apparently started around 150k per month and went as high as 339k at one point:
Interestingly enough, in this case the toys vastly outsold the comics, and Marvel noted a trend of kids going to the Joe books thanks to the toys, and then moving on to other comics afterwards: Just like with TFs, vastly more kids watched the cartoons than read the comics, so for 99% of kids that grew up with GI Joe, Snake Eyes never had his mask off and never spoke, his file card was "classified" so he wasn't a white guy at all, he was just a faceless ninja. 99% of people won't care, and that's where I am. Its much more important that he be the outsider, and as others have said not being Japanese will make him an outsider in Japan. Quotes from here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G.I._J...(Marvel_Comics) |

And yes, I do get to say who looks like Roadblock enough and who doesn't. You don't dictate to me or anyone else what they can or can't have opinions on. Drop the SJW outrage nonsense. Quote:
