It was actually kind of racist that in the 60s and 70s every black superhero had the word “black” somewhere in the name, but I think for a reason opposite to this guy’s, which is that he doesn’t like hearing about or seeing black people?

agreed but this dude is saying it in a "why isnt there a white history month" kinda way. also i read somewhere black superheros apparently almost always have electrical/energy powers so they dont gently caress up the white villains too closely wtf

ps clicked his profile & decided to do a count. zero should be the right count imo.

Wakanda has always been an isolationist country even long before colonialism, so the “gently caress whitey” narrative doesn’t truck.

It just seems to be full of tired stereotypes, 90's gang film tropes and the main character's a loving mess, guy with superpowers who constanly quotes MLK does a deal with a gang so just his school is a safe zone showing a real nice example of negative peace, guy gets more worked up about racist cops than his daughter getting kidnapped, the bad guys are a bunch of powerless gangbangers when every white hero is fighting world ending threats/superpowered badguys/evil gods/timetraveling/dimention hopping, there's no mention of the root causes of any of these problems that caused the gang takeover/lack of social cohesion, just that GANG MANS BAD.

Maybe it's just me? but it seems like they fell flat in pretty much every area, oh and black lightnings costume looks like plastic crap.

Once in a while, I just become awestruck at the awful bullshit people are willing to spout off under their own name. I remember thinking it was because they were calling themselves Patriot_1776 that people would say terrible things online. But no, they're awful and will gladly say terrible things no matter what their names are.
