Vice: Superman Shouldn’t Be White - "Because it never completely made sense to begin with."

[UnKillFill]

What is with people like the person who made this shit article thinks that you can't relate to a character just because they don't have the same skin color or religion.

It's because they genuinely can't, so they can't see how anyone else could.

 

[Vilnus Asuncion]

I wonder if Vice, Buzzfeed and so on are in the joke that only shitlords care about these types of articles to laugh at them, or genuinely think that they are gaining any progressive good person points...

woke people: ALL NON WHITES CARE FOR EACH OTHER
woke people: EVERY CHARACTER HAS TO BE BLACK BECAUSE NEGROS ARE TOO DUMB TO CARE ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE!!!!

 

[BILLY MAYS]

Superman is dead, long live the Man of Steel.

This is now a Man of Steel thread.

It makes more sense for space aliens to be black.

I am going to take this fucking article, I'm going to frame it on my wall at my workplace, and every time a black dude comes by (there's a lot of them there) I'll just point at it and go "so you're an alien, right?"

Spoiler: A few black aliens off the top of my head.

This doesn't go far enough. We need to insert more modern politics into our 1930's fantasy character created by Jewish comic artists. Like, Superman becomes black, Metropolis suddenly and inexplicably issues kryptonite bullets to all police officers, and Lex Luthor wears a orange wig and a bad suntan. Also, every other issue has to be about Lois Lane (who is a latinx transwoman) so the two have equal screen time.

In all fairness Trump/Lex Luthor comparisons have practically wrote themselves for like thirty years.

Sorry for the bump, I spotted an article along with a vlog from Timcast who mentionned a tweet from Dean Cain, who performed the role of Superman in the 1990s series Lois & Clark, trolled CBR by telling they're 25 years late.

Superman Actor Dean Cain Roasts Comic Book Resources - Bounding Into Comics

Superman actor Dean Cain, who portrayed Clark Kent in Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, roasted Comic Book Resources (CBR) after they wrote an article asking, “Man of Tomorrow: Does #Superman Need to be White?

Cain simply wrote, “Ummmmm… really? You’re about 25 years too late.”

Cain is referencing himself. He was born Dean George Tanaka and is of French, Canadian, Irish, Japanese, and Welsh descent. His mother, actress Sharon Thomas married director Christopher Cain, who adopted Dean and his brother Roger.
Cain recently did an interview with The Epoch Times while promoting Gosnell, a film about Philadelphia abortionist Kermit Gosnell who was convicted of first-degree murder in the deaths of three infants. They report Cain is “of three-eights Japanese descent.” In fact, Cain even has his birth name tattooed in Japanese on his ankle.
Cain would confirm on Twitter that he is Japanese.

In fact, Michael B. Jordan, whose name was rumored to be on Warner Bros. list for the next Superman, indicated he would not want to play Clark Kent Superman. Instead, he would rather play the Earth-23 version of Superman, Calvin Ellis.

“I would be Calvin Ellis. There’s another version of Superman from Earth-23. I’m a comic book guy…There’s another version of Superman in another dimension that is black already in the comic books that exist. I think the comic book purists can accept that more than Clark Kent from Kansas. That’s a different thing.”

My colleague Phillip Pratt detailed three other characters who Jordan could play to become Superman, which include Steel and Val-Zod.
DC Comics also introduced a Chinese Superman in Kenan Kong in the pages of New Super-Man during their Rebirth line.
Comic book fans know Superman doesn’t have to be white. DC Comics has introduced us to interesting Superman characters from different universes who aren’t white, and they’ve had successful runs. The issue comes when you try to alter the iconic look of Clark Kent Superman.
What do you make of Dean Cain’s comments? Do you think there is any problem with a non-white Superman? Would you be in favor of altering Clark Kent’s iconic look?

Given Superman was created by Jews, people should've gone after Vice for being antisemitic.

 

[Jeb-sama]

For an ideology that likes to screech about diversity, it sure as hell likes to make blacks their first choice for absolutely everything.

It's blatant Americentrism, in all honesty. Blacks are historically the most visibly persecuted group in US history, so Americans typically posterchild them as the most "important" group to depict in this shit.

Yeah I was gonna bring him up, he's straight-up melting pot American mutt.

 

[friedshrimp]

^Which could sorta make sense if he's supposed to represent the ideal American in these days, while also talking into account his Jewish /coded-inmigrant origins.

 

[ColorfulCassowary]

These guys just keep taking. We already made diversity echo fighters out of the majority of the Marvel cast, what else do you want? Marvel's been suffering for a while because of this, do you want DC to join them?

 

[NN 401]

Isn’t Superman’s whole origin story an allegory for Moses? Because the creators were two Jewish men?


Also:

Making Superman black fucks with his entire backstory. Being a black person, a black fucking farmer in “bleedin’ Kansas” like a race swapped Pa Kent would be brings with it a whole METRIC TON of historical baggage with it.

Are these people taking that into consideration or are we just going to give Superman a spray on tan and some woke “shit” to gripe about?
