Thanks for speaking up. I too Am African American and my position was simply that this subject has been overblown. between the MCU and its loose connections like the defenders on netflix and everything it ever touched. I could name 150 superheroes that they published for live action and maybe 5 of them were race swapped. So basically 99.97 of the characters they presented where as originally intended. the swaps were mostly obscure characters that no one had ever heard of in the first place. In saying that, Marvel created new original Black characters like Miles Morales, Riri Williams, and Moon Girl etc. in the 2010s. These characters are being developed into live action and animation and other things so marvel no longer has to do any swaps for diversity because they have more of them now.

@jayxtacee5695 Yes, exactly, but it isn't a swap, it is a replacement. A swap would be an exchange, it would be one character being traded for another. It would be taking a nonwhite characters and making them white while taking a white character and making them nonwhite, that would be a swap. Since nothing is being swapped, it is just a replacement. Keep in mind too that there is a nonwhite version of pretty much every major whiye superhero that exists either as a reboot, alternate reality version, future version, or "legacy" version, while there are no white versions of nonwhite superheroes at all. It is a double standard that is just anti white. Here is a list of all of the white characters who have been race replaced just recently: Tim Drake Daphne Norman Osborn Ned Leeds Flash Thompson Shaggy Velma A-Train Louis de Pointe du Lac Claudia (Interview With A Vampire) Domino Human Torch Submariner Iris West Wally West Bart Allen Mary Jane Little Orphan Annie Batgirl Batwoman Jimmy Olsen Kingpin Lex Luthor Moneypenny Felix Leiter Commissioner Gordon Bruno Manheim Aqualad Nick Fury The Little Mermaid Snow White Harvey Dent Martian Manhunter’s John Jones identity Starfire Heimdall Valkyrie Catwoman Black Adam Cyclone Hawkman Hawkgirl Hugo Strange Perry White Deadshot Alicia Masters Pete Ross Emil Hamilton Hogun Electro Baron Mordo Calistoga Slade aka Deathstroke Manchester Black Agent Jasper Sitwell Zod Gomez Addams Alexander Hamilton Peter Pan Tinker Bell Triss(Witcher Netflix) Yennifer(Witcher Netflix) Fringilla Vigo Aquaman Black Canary Annabeth Chase Grover Underwood Beast Boy Mazikeen & Amenadiel in ‘Lucifer’ April O’Neil Bow(Netflix She-Ra) Josie(Josie and the Pussycats) Rip Cord(G.I.

Was a Latino , I say No, I Completely Rejected Race swap and feel Offended , because I an Not An simple misconception Equate an Hero or Mith like Bane , with "Oh Jess There's an Guy Dress up like Batman" but has an Boring origin and it's Struggle is some one look at Him weird , I Don't want an Costume Less Blue Bettle more Bane , Bane has an Badass Origin and is not an Little Skinny Vegan who has the Bone density of an Insect .

Agreed. I don't see any controversy in anything that he said, either. To me, it's just stupid and lazy to race-swap comic book characters. If people want more diversity and representation, just go and create all-new original characters of color or use pre-existing ones( that's what I'll be doing). To me, it's simple, so I don't understand why that's so hard for some of these big corporations to grasp. They're making it complicated but it really isn't.

@@ComicPower I'll admit, throwing Eric July under the bus shook me for a second. Stans some of his talking points, I just respect a person putting their money where their mouth is, starting a comic book company, and actually succeeding. He's not Black Jesus. He's a doer, not just a talker.

@@rhapzodyb i have no personal beef with July. My issue is that too many people that call themselves conservatives or traditionalists on this issue kept referencing him as a source like hes some subject matter expert on the topic. Hes not.

Thanks for your comment. As I stated in the video, I believe the process of swaps should be retired. Marvel has to start to develop their newer Black 21st century characters for live action like Shuri, Riri Williams, Patriot, etc. So this process of swapping wont be necessary anymore. Stick around for more good stuff from my youtube in 2024. kzfaq.info

All marvel and dc is doing is giving black people the sloppy seconds of white characters

These characters are created in white countries by white people for majority white audiences though. White people are less than 9% of the world's population, nonwhite countries don't include whites in their media and stories, why does media created in white countries have to represent every single person on the planet at all times while nonwhite countries feel no such obligation and instead only represent themselves? If white characters and countries have to be for everyone, but nonwhite characters and countries are only for their specific race/group, then you have a double standard that is just anti white.

I do agree with this and mention in the video. The newer more diverse characters needed more development and backstory and now we are getting them in riri Williams, America chavez and moongirl who got her own animated show for starters. So i understood the swapping in the past but we should be able to retire that process now.

@@ComicPowerriri Williams is not original at all

@@Deimosviva Define original? shes an extension of the Iron Man universe. just like Spider-Man has Miles Morales and Spider-Gwen and countless others with similar powers to the Alpha character that the pocket universe revolves around.

@@ComicPower He might mean original as in not a sidekick or legacy. Luke Cage and Black Panther are original because they don't rely on a connection to a more established hero unlike Miles. They made a name for themselves. Ironic that's its all diversity this or representation that and yet the vast majority of black superheroes are derivative of white characters and rarely form their own identity independently . Shows the lack of effort in creating black heroes that stand on their own.

Thanks for posting. My answer is. yes we can. The success of Miles Morales as a breakout new character circa 2011 and Black Panther making over $1 billion at the box office showed the world, their is a big market for Black superheroes beyond a few token supporting characters! kzfaq.info

@@ComicPower all asking for original black

We can make our own. I am making an enire universe. But when it comes to established companies like Marvel and DC, fans would rather a character with history than a new comer

@@incognitofool6516 Agreed. I'm doing the same thing, too( but to fill out my own comic book universe, I'm also using a lot of Public Domain characters but at the center of it will be my own original black Super Hero who is a Superman-like character and the most powerful Super Hero on earth). If we want to see representation and diversity, we have to go out there and do it ourselves just like Milestone Comics and Eric July did! Race-swapping fictional characters to me, is and always will be idiotic. Just make new characters of color. I don't understand why that is so hard for some people to do and to understand.

​@@ComicPowerdidn't Blade already prove that though?

Did I read that right that you are claiming that Blade was white and changed to Black? thats not what i remember. He first appeared in Tomb of Dracula #10 circa 1973 and was a Black guy from the start! kzfaq.info

So when you don't like the casting choice it is pandering but when you do it is ok? Do you really think the cartoon version of the "Little Mermaid" stayed true to the source material? Newsflash; it didn't.

@@TheBattleforArcadia what do you mean when I do it? The Little Mermaid is a Danish tale and Snow White is a German tale so yes choosing a white girl is staying true to the source material. Also, that's not the point. People grew up with Disney's rendition of the story and the origins of a lot of these fairy tales is very dark and wouldn't make a good children's movie. So when you say when I do it that makes zero sense. Disney did not race swap the races from the original stories with their animated movies.

This sounds like you have more of an issue with who was chosen then about the fact that they are African American (at least I hope). But if you are going to make this argument which is fine. then you must have a problem with Tilda Swinton being the ancient one. The ancient one in the comics was an Asian man. Namor was an Atlantean and not an Aztec or Mayan, another example of not following the source material. So hopefully you have a problem with these as well. If not then your standard is not a standard which should go across the board. Now maybe you have an issue with the changes I just mentioned, but you did not say that in your initial statement. Just because you are Latina doesn't mean you cant have certain biases or prejudices (not saying you do) but it seems counterproductive. lastly Samuel L. Jackson plays Nick Fury and not Nicholas Cage.

Anyone who writes that much, doesnt have a valid point in their entire argument. If you cant be concise, dont speak

Your response to the material is pretty rare for the internet age. Being that most people show up to argue without objectively looking at all the evidence presented. You were the opposite and reviewed another viewpoint and agreed with me that this touchy subject definitely needed to be reviewed in a context of the full history of the medium of comics.

I find that ironic what you are asking. Lets take the historical Jesus who was a dark skin Jew from the Roman province of Palestine in the 1st century.

I totally agree with you. I hate GoW Ragnarok because they did the norse pantheon dirty. It takes out the immersion and cheapens the result. Just imagine how angry the left would be if you would raceswap the other way. Just imagine how people would react if Black Panther would be a white or asian guy. There are enough good black characters to choose from or they just have to make new ones.

@BradLad56 Yes, it is just an anti white double standard. Anything white must be for "everyone" we are told, while anything nonwhite must always be whatever specific race they are and are defined by it. It is a double standard that is just anti white. If race matters for one group then it matters for all groups. It isn't a swap, it is a replacement. A swap would be an exchange, it would be one character being traded for another.

Stan Lee is on the record that the X-men was clearly an anti-prejudice story, when the comic made its debut in 1963. it was Chris Claremont who took as writer in the late 1970s through the early 90s that developed the X-men much more explicitly reflecting the Professor as a MLK type and Magneto as a Malcolm X type. I made a previous video discussing this here! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/erWokqV1nqe6lWw.html

I think you dont understand the phrase hypocritical irony. You accuse me of being disingenuous but thats exactly what you with the lame talking point of what if they turned a Black character White and i already debunked this false equivalency in the video. As stated America is about 36% persons of color but only about 12% of Marvels top 100 characters were POC. So with a disparity like that you need more Black and Brown characters not LESS so turning one of your few White numerically makes no sense and its a bad faith argument. But sense when did conservatives ever care about facts or fairness?

@@ComicPowerhe made a perfect argument and you’re just being ignorant if there’s a need for more diverse characters support the original black characters or create new ones every race deserves original heroes instead of stealing a white characters legacy. Eating up these raceswaped knock offs encourages lazy practices why put the effort into being original when you can recycle characters that work with a new paint job and call it a day it’s why Disney gave little girls a black fish before adapting princess Tiana (a character who’s representation would go beyond the surface level)

@@ComicPower I never presented the bad faith argument of presenting black washing because the argument doesn't work on both accounts. I never disagreed with the false equivalence. What I presented is essentially the double standards of how it's okay if white characters can be changed to white while the same can't apply to black characters, especially when it comes to pre-established white characters. This kind of rhetoric applies to both ends of the poltical spectrum because when few of the left will be okay with blackwashing, they won't be okay when the same is applied to pre-established black characters. Second, I was never against adding new POC characters in fact quite the opposite, what I stated was essentially there is no need to change pre-establish white characters no matter how less popular they're and instead introduce the actual POC characters that are less popular or not known within the mainstream. Hence, I presented the argument of pastiching, which you have clearly skipped over. Like for example a lot of people didn't know Ironman until the movie came in, the same thing can apply to black panther and more interesting characters. Also, you have the impression I'm conservative and I'm not and let's not pretend that the left care about facts or fairness, both the right and left don't care about facts or fairness.

So cyborg can be white then seeing how race was never important for his character

@@grinko1222 I think you are over simplifying a complex subject. Look at it from this perspective. If you named DC comics top 100 most famous characters only 3 of them would be Black in Cyborg, John Stewart and Black Lightning. So if only 3% of your usable characters are Black why would you change to some other race when you have so few to start with? That wouldnt make any sense.

@@ComicPower I mean why race swap at all? If it doesn't matter that Nick Fury is suddenly black, then there's no reason Cyborg has to stay black. Just like when white characters are unnecessarily race swapped, it is just another interpretation of the character. He isn't Black Lightning or Black Panther; race was never integral to his character. I wouldn't like it if Cyborg were race swapped but I don't believe that "rules for thee but not for me" is the answer.

@@grinko1222 i am not pushing inconsistent rules. I am stating this is a touchy complicated question that is not a black and white answer (pun intended) but requires nuance in answering. My question to you would be to your hypothetical about Cyborg would be if only 3% of DC superheroes are Black why would you have less? And also Cyborg is a major character. What other major character has DC race swapped in there movie universe? Basically none. So you are giving a hypothetical for a situation that hasnt happened anyway.

When it comes to Jesus there is a long history of cultural assimilation and conscious conditioning of believers as to how he was presented.

What you are saying is not true. Miles made his first appearance in comics in ultimate fallout #4 in 2011 and the story was covered by non comic book media applauding it. This issue sold out and went into reprints due to demand. The character appeared soon after in the Ultimate Spiderman animated tv show voiced by Donald Glover and was well received as well. The show ran 2012 to 2017. So many you meant to say the character was not popular with YOU personally until the Spiderverse film came out but overall, he was already popular. the movie just made him more popular!

YES. you can be both mixed race and considered Black too. Barack Obama is also mixed race but society deemed him the first Black President. The issue of race in America is a complicated web of complexity that never made sense.

Let me repeat. I was focusing on the MCU.which has done very little swapping. And i stated specifically that i think this should be retired.. In saying that the Catholic church and other White churches depicted Jesus as a Blue eyed European when the historical Jesus story take places in south west Asia. Forensic recreations of him is a person of color that looks a lot like Saddam Hussein. So did you have a problem with that swaping? And how can the little mermaid be considered a swap? Shes not even human? What right wing grievance website or reddit did you copy and paste that bullsh!t from because i know for 100% sure you didn't write it.

@ComicPower I never mentioned anything about Jesus' eye color, just that He is a white person. A white person is any of the original peoples of Europe, Middle East, and North Africa, so yes, Jesus was white. The Bible is also written in Greek and Aramaic in its original texts, two white languages, and the story of Jesus is literally set in the Roman Empire, which is white. There are no forensice recreations of Jesus because there is no proof that he ever existed outside of the Bible. The Little Mermaid is a white character created by white people in a white country (a white danish man named Hans Christian Anderson created her/her story in Denmark). She is half fish on one end and very obviously half white on the top end, based on the white myth of Atlantis. Part of The Little Mermaid's story is fitting in with the white society at one point where she is magically transformed into a normal white person, this would not work if she is some other race in a story set in racially homogeneous Denmark. Imagine if the races were reversed and a black guy from Sub-Saharan Africa created a story about a half black and half animal creature and a black village. Would you accept a race replacement there? Obviously not.

@@ComicPower I never mentioned anything about Jesus' eye color, just that He is a white person. A white person is any of the original peoples of Europe, Middle East, and North Africa, so yes, Jesus was white. He spoke Greek and Aramaic. The Bible is also written in Greek and Aramaic in its original texts, two white languages, and the story of Jesus is literally set in the Roman Empire, which is white. There are no forensice recreations of Jesus because there is no proof that he ever existed outside of the Bible.

@@AsadAlam-xx8li wow. You fell asleep in history class. If you think middle eastern people are White you are delusional. Ok. What would happen if a dude named abdul Muhammad tried to join the KKK? The romans were White but they were expansionist that conquered lands of people who were not in the Middle east. Your non logic would be like saying the Black people of Kenya are White because they were colonized by the British Writing your super long replies doesnt make you more right because its more words. It just makes you more nonsensical. Your nonsense. May make sense on right wing conspiracy boards but in the world of the sane. It proves you are insane.you just tried to push that Jesus is White. GTFOH dude you are a clown

@ComicPower The original Middle Eastern people are white, and many still are today. Look at the people of Iran, look at the beauty contestants and bodybuilder contestants and their leaders (the best of their people). They're all white. The US census definition of white is any of the original peoples of Europe, Middle East, and North Africa. The KKK used to have religious qualifiers, however, are you telling me that there are no white Muslims? Lol. The Arabs/Muslims were Allied with Nazi Germany in WW2. Hitler supported Palestina. Persia changed its name from Persia to "Iran" as in "aryan," dubbing itself "land of the aryans" and the name remains to this day. The Roman Empire is expansionist but only over white territories with other white people in them. They did not occupy sub saharan Africa and other nonwhite countries. Regardless, the story of Jesus takes place in the heart of the Roman Empire, in the middle east, where the original peoples are all white. You can look at statues of the jewish king Herod from the time and see that he is white. The disciples were also romans and looked the same per scripture. I will not tailor my comments to accommodate your tiny attention span, you are simply too dimwitted to educate if you sincerely believe that Jesus was black and not white.

thanks for watching. be sure to sub if you haven't. more to come kzfaq.info

agreed Wakanda aint really so why cant it be diverse too

In no way did i say Ginger was a race. I was implying that disney has a princess for every race, ethnic group, or regional location you csn imagine. I said moana is a Pacific islander that is not a race either. Its a region... so disagree if you like but don't take me out of context

You are right the hypocrisy is amazing. like John Wayne playing The Asian military strong man Genghis Khan in the movie the Conqueror and all the White guys that ever played Jesus who historically was a person of Color. www.intermountainhistories.org/items/show/144

@@ComicPowerright but most people are in agreement that was wrong but doing the same thing in reverse isn’t a solution to the issue why not try to adapt characters accurately whilst simultaneously promoting more diverse characters?

I call BS on this state your evidence..back it up

@@ComicPower she was crated in the cinematic universe. Just search Michelle Jones, every wiki and fan site will tell you she is the reimagined character - Mary Jane. They didn't accidentally align the initials.

Took the direct quote from Marvel Cinematic Universe Wiki site. Literally says "the reimagined version of Mary Jane".

@@l3ul2t here is the full quote that you took out of context... According to Spider-Man: Homecoming co-screenwriter John Francis Daley, Michelle was intended as a reinvention of Mary Jane Watson.[8] While her nickname reveal was an homage to the supporting character within the comic books and other Spider-Man media, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige confirmed she is an original Marvel Cinematic Universe character.[9..... See. You left out the part about the MCU President saying she was an ORIGINAL character...

@@ComicPower do I look 12 to you? Yes, Mary Jane is Mary Jane,.. this is "Michelle Jones" so obviously it's a "new" character Kevin. At the bottom, in the behind the scenes section it says: "Michelle Jones-Watson in the Marvel Cinematic Universe is a reimagined version of Mary Jane Watson, whose previous live-action incarnations were portrayed by Kirsten Dunst and Shailene Woodley."

Thanks for watching. I welcome counter arguments. In my world if you are going to say something back it up with something substantial. Hard numbers do that. at the end of the day my position is that they should "retire" race swapping, now that their are more new diverse characters that have been created in the last 10 years ready to make the leap into live action. kzfaq.info

Thanks for watching. There is a lot of nonsense being said about this complex subject. I just wanted to give a honest debate about it. kzfaq.info

do you have anything to add to the discussion besides un funny sarcasm? I'll wait.

So nice that you crawled out from under your rock to make such an insightful contribution to the subject.

No argument

That is true. The southern dixie crat racist wing of the Democratic party left the Democratic party and joined the Republican party in 1968 when Nixon launched his "Southern strategy" big names like south Carolinas Strom Thurmond and others joined the Republicans and all the racist Dixiecrats were firmly in the GOP by the time we got Reagan. Put simply the Republican party founded in the late 1850s were the liberals and the Democrats were the conservatives but eventually the parties changed to Democrats being liberal and Republicans being conservative which we have today. So your dig is an oversimplification of history

thanks for watching. I was piecing together my research for over a year to make sure i got it right. the so called conservatives have been yelling all kinds of nonsense and noise about this nuanced issue. I thought it would help to bring some facts and historical context to the debate. kzfaq.info

1. Black Panther can't and won't be swapped because hes an African king. What else would he be. 2. Woke doesn't mean anything. Its just a nonsense phrase by people that claim to be conservative to try to belittle anyone they don't like. 3. The truth is Hollywood is more lazy than anything by trying new spins on older existing franchises. 4. My position is they should retire swaps because its only divided people.

Where did i say that half the characters had to be Black? In the video i pointed out that in the 2010 census 64% of America was White but 88% of there most known characters were White. 12% of America was Black but only 7% of there characters were. 16% of the US was Hispanic but 0% of there best known characters were So if the swaps didnt happen the universe wouldnt look like America today it would have looked like America in 1963. More diverse characters have been created since the 2011 debut of Miles Morales so the swaps can be retired now. Thanks

Imma keep it a stack. Comparing the marvel Norse mythos with the actual one is a mythos purists nightmare. So many inaccuracies at some point you jus gotta accept they are separate things at this point

@@huggylul i’ll care how you look at it marvel/Nordic there weren’t Black Vikings

@@tebone3573 Doesnt fucking matter. Thor never fought a Hulk in Norse myth nor was Asgard another dimension. But yea...you keep focusing on Black Vikings

@@incognitofool6516 😂😂😂thats ur argument 🤡……. no but he fought green ogres another fake account to try and argue

Facts and opinions are welcome on my board and what you are saying is an opinion that you are passing as a fact and its not true. Miles was such a big hit in 2011 that non comic media like Time magazine wrote about him. He showed enough promise to be included in the web warriors cartoon series which proved him worthy of his own animated film franchise

The animated movie was only able to happen because of his popularity in the comics.

I encourage debate on the topics I tackle at this channel. As you can see I provided actual historical census dating to illustrate my argument. Please explain to me where did you get the numbers you threw out. Well its pretty obvious you pulled all those numbers out your butt. Because at the end of the day you are not an honest broker or legit counter argument. your hyperbolic and sarcastic nonsensical statements are the politics of grievance, that is not constructive but rather destructive for the sake of chaos. I am sure your views are welcome in 4chan. Good luck with that.

We are talking about how FICTIONAL characters are depicted in live action MLK wss a real person... i welcome counterpoints but not the ridiculousness you are pitching which is just silly

@@ComicPower That would be the end of it if it were limited to fictional characters. It's not. They have race swpped several historical figures and continue to lie about some demographics being in places they weren't throughout history.

@@hgrimes9824 ok. give me some of these historical figures that were swapped in a movie or tv show and we will talk about it.

@@ComicPower Marie Antoinette, Alexander Hamilton, Mary Queen of Scotts.

@@ComicPower Oh and the bullshit about Cleopatra and the Viking Queen.

Yes Steve Nash and Elon Musk are White people born in South Africa. A country in which a White minority ruled over a Black majority with force until around 1990 when it collapsed. So what exactly is your point?

I dont think i follow what you are saying. Tessa was born in Los angeles in 1983. She is Black. that would make her African American. are you mistaking her for someone else or the put on british accent she uses for her character. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tessa_Thompson

They did create some new characters. Riri WIlliams is a new character but you didn't like that either. so make up your mind! she does some things similar to Tony but shes not Tony. Just like Supergirl does things Superman does and Batgirl does things Bat Man does.

Thank you for watching and your multiple feedbacks. We disagree on some small things, but overall I think we need to look toward the future. Where racial swaps will be a thing of the past and all of those more diverse superheroes created in the 2010s will be fully developed and ready for live action now. We already got Riri Williams and America Chavez and others to come. So we can put to bed this divisive issue! kzfaq.info

thanks for watching. kzfaq.info

Your assessment is not a fair one on this matter. The character isnt a Iron man rip off. Its an Iron Man SPIN OFF.. every ultra successful character has a whole host of spin offs. Superman has Supergirl, Steel, even a super dog named krypto.. Batman. Has numerous Robins Nightwing, Batgirl, Bat.woman. etc So your argument on this point doesnt hold water.
