I used Obama as an example because the general public associates him with a suit and tie look. A black guy who you think looks like Obama but without any sort of entourage and wearing normal, casual clothes is going to make you generally think it's just some guy who looks like him. Male actors aren't really a great comparison, but if famous actresses could get out without make-up they'd probably be a lot less likely to be recognized.

Like if you saw Kim Kardashian with no make-up, would you recognize her?

If I saw her out in public it wouldn't matter too much if I recognized her or not.

The article is the perfect example of why gishing is the stupidest style of argumentation available. The guy makes a nuanced case for the choices he made, but instead of a response in kind, you get line by line nitpicking.

The squid thing hinges on two fairly specific references so the change is fine. A lot of people think it doesn't even work in the comic. Wrong, but I see where it comes from.

Taking a closer look at the screen where Thunderbolt Ross is showing the clips from previous films the canon deathtoll is as follows:

The Avengers
Overall losses $18.8 billion, 74 casualties.

Captain America: The Winter Soldier
Overall losses $2.8 billion, 23 casualties.

Avengers: Age of Ultron
Overall losses $474 billion, 177 casualties.

So in three films depicting an alien invasion of New York led by an Asgardian god, three helicarriers crashing in the middle of Washington D.C. and a rogue A.I. intent on engineering an extinction level event the total loss of life is 274 people.

Maybe it's in K.

Can you elaborate more on what you mean by "establishment", because I'm reading it like you're saying he's pro-"The MAN"?

Also, I just learned one of the tag lines for Shaft was "The mob wanted Harlem back, They got Shaft...... up to here" and that's a dope tag line.

Shaft was a suave black private detective, Luke Cage was an ex-con who couldn't get any work so he protected the hood for money under the table.

I feel like it's perfectly okay to change some of this stuff about these super heroes. Batman in this new movie clearly kills people without mercy. Watch the latest trailer, he is body slamming bad guys through floors and slamming them head first into hard objects, no way anyone in that room he took out survived those brutal attacks.

It's just highlighting how silly Batman's stance is. It's perfectly fine to paralyze a guy from the waist down or put him in traction for a year, but hey, at least he isn't dead!
