Well not exactly Iron Man, but Iron Girl to be more precise. Marvel announces that the new Iron man wont be a man at all but 15 yo whiz kid Riri Williams. http://www.comicsbeat.com/introducing-riri-williams-marvels-new-black-iron-woman/ Riri Williams, “a science genius who enrolls in MIT at the age of 15,” captures Tony Stark’s curiosity when she builds her own Iron Man armor in her dorm.
Yeah I saw that today. People are mad. My only gripe is why "RiRi" witw (what in the world) were the smoking
maybe run both Iron Man and Iron Mama? Why does one have to replace the other? Don't end Iron Man Comics, keep both. Rename Riri Iron Mama, Iron Maiden, Iron Lady, Iron Woman, Iron Lass, Iron Female, etc...
Fuck this and fuck this character. Fuck making established white characters into people of color. Instead create NEW characters that are people of color.
Hate the casting. She doesn't look the part. But last time I checked she is white....so....there's that.
I didn't like her for the role either. I looked her up and she's Israeli, apparently that's not white enough for some "fans" though since they were mad about it.
The shit won't take off, it'll end up in the 'failed concepts' bin and won't be able to sell fifteen cents in Chinese money.
