@P4TRONS4INT @slaymetsu @ThatComicFan3 @unc4nny_X Few😭? I’d 99% Every blk comicbook character in the big 2 are either dark skinned or Brown skinned. What are you on?? Even biracial characters such as Miles are brown skinned.

@slaymetsu @ThatComicFan3 @unc4nny_X And the fact they’re doing this with one of the FEW iconic dark skin comic book characters is so disgusting. The fact that Aaron accepted makes it worse because Zendaya herself turned roles due to colorism.

@T1v4n_ @ThatComicFan3 That is a mixed man not a lightskin black man💀 Priest’s BP run was fire thoo🔥🔥🔥
English

@Shaolin_3131 @ThatComicFan3 Kasper Cole. And he was rice-skinned initially. Then they shifted away from that. Other than him, there are were no other lightskinned black heroes.

Im confused on how y’all can comprehend light skinned peoole that are fully black but cant comprehend dark skinned people who are mixed.
Because why are you using Blade being mixed as some sort of argument against him having dark skin?

@brohoodofevil I just started Rebirth for the Cool this week. Sad to see it’s only 4 issues
English

@missemmac64 It was so hard not to include it. I love it so much, it’s always a tie between Static & Icon as my fav milestone series
English


@ThatComicFan3 To that counterpoint, were there even any lightskin black heroes back then (even now rly) to even compare & contrast how a dark skinned hero was portrayed/colored back then?🤷🏾♂️ I just think it’s crazy to think dark/brownskins get no love or rep in comics
English

@Shaolin_3131 This is how dark skinned characters were colored back then. You can look up literally any black character from this time period lmao.

@newsacredheart @jewelzaid1998 Bro can’t cope that Aaron has permanently already been cast, shot the series and is geared to be continuing to portray the character in future projects💀 y’all are complaining to a wall here. The general audience don’t give af if John could’ve tanned out in the sun a lil longer
English

The difference between Aaron and John are plain as day, and yet people jump through hoops to defend Gunn's colorism🙄
Z*Y@ThatComicFan3
English

@ZTZRNALSOUL @Nerdy_Weirdo We can both be objectively right dawg. Storm being darkskin is integral to her heritage with John sure originally he’s intended to be the same( at most he still looked brown skin in the 70s ) but in modern age GL there’s so much better things to split hairs over
English

They picked the most popular Negro out at the time that’s all they gave a fuck about
Z*Y@ThatComicFan3
The way they keep having to make DCU John look nothing like Aaron bc they know he has no business playing the character
English

@MaxxdOut_ @voicearchivist Brother you’re good😂🙏🏽 just shows how cohesive them 90 shows were🔥
English

@Kurfew711 @jay_j926 @camefrmyves @ThatComicFan3 I just don’t think colorism is the case here. Most of the guys in the running for John were darkskin but due to them not having as good chemistry with Kyle or not fitting the show’s vibe for the character they didn’t get the part. It’d be colorism if they excluded darkskins fully
English

@missemmac64 @jay_j926 @camefrmyves @ThatComicFan3 Nobody is saying he can't act like John Stewart or that he's a bad actor. But colorism in media IS an issue. You can't just pretend it doesn't because it doesn't fit your narrative. That doesn't mean you have to dislike Aaron as John, but that doesn't erase the larger issue
English

@ZTZRNALSOUL @Nerdy_Weirdo Well Storm is from the motherland. She 100% should be darkskin. But John is African-American where there’s more wingle room to be adapted differently. in modern depictions of him his race is integral to his character without a doubt but not so much his complexion.
English

@missemmac64 @Nerdy_Weirdo You could make this argument for Storm as well but when we get light brights playing her we get up in arms too.
English

@jay_j926 @camefrmyves @Kurfew711 @ThatComicFan3 John’s character, morality and stoicism in the modern age that we’re in doesn’t change off of sheer pigment. Aaron’s rebel ridge movie alone show’s he’s perfect to adapt this fictional character. He’s cast and he’s gonna cook. Nothing u can do about it except complain to the sky
English

@missemmac64 @camefrmyves @Kurfew711 @ThatComicFan3 Just bc you have low racial self esteem doesn’t mean we do 😭 you can accept this mediocre casting and WE’LL keep criticizing it for the colorists casting it is
English

@camefrmyves @jay_j926 @Kurfew711 @ThatComicFan3 ‘Let it go as in’ pretty much every blk comic book character that isn’t biracial is already dark skinned or brown skin. These shades we place on ourselves as a community are just social constructs that divide eg “ lightskin vs darkskin preference era from 2016-2021”💀
English

@missemmac64 @jay_j926 @Kurfew711 @ThatComicFan3 quite literally the only takeaway from ur dumbass comment lmao someone shows you the literal co creator saying john stewart is a DARSKIN man and you reply with “well characters evolve all the time” the character can develop and still be darkskin 👍 have a good day white man
English

@Jasonsuperboi @Irfan_1x Strictly African characters from the motherland should 100% be dark skinned. Halle Berry at the time was the biggest blk actress so I see why they went with her. No excusing Vixen tho. With Aaron as John I just don’t see colorism as the intent for a African-American character.
English

@missemmac64 @Irfan_1x All of storms live action cast were light skin so was vixen and cyborg bring up blaxploitation to defend colorism to me as if that matters talking about diversity to cast lighter for one of the biggest black superhero’s is true insane to me
English

@justdobber Suit would be absolutely perfect if the ears were longer and the logo ears weren’t cross eyed
English

@Jasonsuperboi @Irfan_1x Damn near every black character besides biracial Miles Morales is dark skinned😂 if anything this just shows more diversity in our diaspora. Again this isn’t a the blaxploitation era anymore. Imo the only characters that absolutely need to be dark skinned are BP, Storm and Static
