Thanos has his own porn production too.

 

Thanos is creepy, but He isn't the 'videotapes women peeing' kind of creepy.
Thanos is creepy like Darkness from Legend.

Well it's not certain yet that Del Toro is Thanos, but I think he could pull it off. There are a crap load of characters he could be depending on what direction the next phase of Marvel movies take and how what happens in the Guardians of the Galaxy moves that along. There's already speculation that if he's not playing Thanos then he possibly could be Dr. Strange since it's on the list as one of Marvel's Phase Three movies or maybe even Adam Warlock or Captain Mar-Vell in keeping with the cosmic theme of the Guardians of the Galaxy.

Edward James Olmos as Thanos? No way. Benicio Del Toro can pull it off. Or, they can get Javier Bardem, he can play a scary part. Watch him in the film No Country For Old Men. He scared the hell out of me.

 

why am i not surprised

 

(Black) Avengers!

A new comic called Mighty Avengers is going to be starring a minority heavy cast. At least five Black heroes (Luke Cage, Falcon, Photon, Blue Marvel, and the New Powerman) and one Latina (White Tiger). Along side She-Hulk, Ronin, and Spider-man.

I personally would rather see Marvel''s minority heroes spread out a little bit. With so many on one team, it smacks of segregation.


"Mighty Avengers" #1 ships in September

​

 

Why do you see it as segregation? Is it segregation when it's usually mostly white superheroes on a team with no minority heroes? And then when there are any minority heroes then everyone's saying the ones that are on the team are just tokens & not good enough/powerful enough or there aren't enough.

 

Well played

This is the reason why you have 'black' films

White producers in general have already decided to segregate us and it's been shown that psychologically that affects us

 

Yes that's segregation too. But "White" heroes out number minority ones by a significant number, so that can be expected.

I'm talking about how it would seem to the average person in the Marvel universe. If you lived in the Marvel universe and you saw the "Classic" Avengers, consisting of mostly white members, then you see A 2nd team of heroes who are mostly minorities, wouldn't you call that segregation?

 

No. Because racism doesn't play in the Marvel Universe like it does in the real world. Remember mutants are seen & treated as the "minority" group in the Marvel Universe and how many different mutant X-Men related teams have there been in the Marvel Universe never mind the whole "Uncanny Avengers" gimmick they are going with now with well known former X-Men now serving as Avengers.

 

The minority dominated team makes sense to me because Luke Cage is said to be the one who is going to put it together & be leader. Luke Cage has always been played as an urban street level superhero. Most urban street level individuals no matter what race are use to interacting & dealing with minorities on a regular basis. So Luke Cage putting together a team of superheroes made up of various minority superheroes just seems only logical.

 

I know race and prejudice works different in Marvel comics, But I'm sure The Black people of Marvel's fictional world still deal with racial issues from time to time.

Your probably right, and it really isn't that big of a deal to me. (I'm actually looking forward to it) I'm pretty sure when the comic comes out, the writers will find a way to make the teams formation seem realistic and organic.

It will only really be an issue if the other hero teams become less diverse because of it.

 

I recall reading the new graphic novel of The Black Panther(produced by the Hudlin Brothers). In one story, T'Challa is joined by Luke Cage and a guy who is a voodoo equivalent to Doctor Strange to fight an evil villain. In the Iron Man: War Machine, Rhodey tried to recruit some black superheroes, including Deathlok to defend an African village from a tribal war. I cannot really say it is segregation. I would call it a special team(or backup)to be called on if and when the need arises.

 

i just hope that it gets enough readers

the 'white wash' is hard to break free from

:shock:

although across the net, there seems to be a lot of black panther appeal..more than i thought there would be considering he's black

 

It shouldn't. Aren't they currently doing an all female X-Men team as well? That's not going to have any effect on females being apart of other teams especially any of these various other X-teams that Marvel has out.

Most of the black characters are very popular because their race isn't made the primary focus. When race is the primary focus, especially when white writers handle black characters, they tend to become stereotype characters that don't appeal to anyone. Do interesting characters who happen to be minority and shit sells itself.

 

never looked at it that way

 

There is a semi classic Black Panther story arc written in the mid 70's in which the Black Panther takes on the Ku Klux Klan. It ran for six issues in a book called Jungle Action and due to the nature of the story at the time Marvel Comics viewed it as somewhat controversial & thought it may create difficulties for the company & the creative team involved and ended the arc mid-story. Even with it being an unresolved story it is still regarded as one of, if not the best, Black Panther story arcs ever written to this day.

 

:smt043

sounds like some Dolemite shit

 

It was that 70's blaxplotation but the story was dope.
