yes, no one knows who the all-new wolverine is.
Cmon.
You’re not seriously trying.
Also, you didn’t say spiderman. Pretty glaring omission.
That’s because they didn’t change Peter Parker to being black. Mostly because RockB would riot believing that Marvel is trying to sabotage his race.
Daiken’s story is entirely tied to him being a japanese baby
No one.
I want a Korean Spider-Man, Peter Park.
No one fucking cares about Daken story or the Japanese. Daken’s so irrelevant he was replaced in the Ultimate universe with an American dude, Jimmy Howlett.
Daken’s just a smelly angsty bisexual weebo, who would like to see a character like that? Only comic book gay dudes.
Point A) lollllll
Point B )
Didn’t realize you were that into boners, but more power to you.
But taking your point more seriously, I’m a bit surprised - you ask for a korean spiderman, yet don’t acknowledge what we already have? So not only are you full-blown trolling, your knowledge is offbase as well.
But I’ll give you a hint: Where Spiders and Hulks cross paths…
I don’t even…
Asian Spider-Man makes more sense than any change of race you can imagine. Peter’s an awkward, nerdy, tecno-savy dude, Park is even a Korean name, so more power to the Asian.
Spider-Man even has many tokusatsu-like aspects on his design and abilities.
I’d be totally aboard for an Asian or Asian-American Spider-Man, that would be fucking awesome.
Unless it’s the mangaverse version, which totally sucked balls.
Daken’s an angsty bisexual hunk whose mutant power is to have a charming BO, I mean, what kind of idiot would like to have that represented in the big screen?
Go cast the guy who played the werewolf in Twilight and get a lot of gay audience into an X-Men movie, ha ha ha.
you still haven’t done your homework, and still wrong
Uhhh, thats not a likely scenario, even with their healing factor. Theyre still going to produce melanin as a result of being exposed to uv rays. Melanin is not going to not be produced because of the healing factor. If anything it would make more sense for people with advanced healing factors, who spend lots of time in the sun, to eventually just have their body adapt to having a darker pigmentation. It would spend less energy for them in the long run of dealing with extended uv exposure to just have a darker pigmentation.
That aside, yeah, people like wolverine could still sit out all day and tan, and after decades or less of constant exposure, they could likely adapt a permanent change due to their healing factor.
Oh and since there’s trolling going on here, I’m in the mood for some humor:
when did x-23’s tits get so big?
(sighs as he keeps in mind whom he’s talking to here with regards to Daken
Daken is officially asexual, actually; he just uses sex to manipulate people because it works so well even before you bring his creepy pheromone powers into the mix. [/get least important point out of the way first])
I, personally, usually don’t care about “race lifts” in movie adaptations one way or the other so long as, as you say, the person whom is chosen is the best person for the job acting-wise. Hell, I’m even against them a lot of the time if it’s just for the sake of being “pc” or other obviously just a transparent case of pandering by race lifting what is likely a minor character and then acting like it’s some big deal, especially if means doing so would have excluded (white) people in the process just because they aren’t a minority.
I’m also not against Psylocke just being “only” half-Asian given how goddamn complicated her backstory is given it involves Revanche, The Hand, and a host of other things that would both be difficult to simplify if it’s brought up to mainstream audience to the point where it would probably be deserving its own movie just to explain that. We all know that’s never going to happen at present if Black Widow still can’t get a movie and Wonder Woman only just now getting a movie about her greenlit. I guess you could make just make Psylocke “fully” Asian (read: Japanese) and just never bring up her brother–who has the rights to Captain Britain anyway?–but that’s also not something Hollywood is keen on doing even if they go with popular view of Psylocke as one-dimensional sexpot since that involves them making use of Asian people who can act as major characters.
(Whether Olivia Munn is the best person for the job acting-wise is an entirely different story in saga of “zomg, race lift!”, though I’m among those who doubt she is.)
That brings us to the real crux of the issue though: being against “race lifting” for relatively frivolous means I’m also against white-washing minorities, especially those whose status as a “racial” minority is a major factor for their motivations or how, unfortunately or fortunately, they’re identified. This especially since it happens a lot of the time still in Hollywood, especially to Asians. 21, The King of Fighters, Avatar: the Last Airbender, and Cloud Atlas are just some of the too many recent examples where Hollywood legitimately screwed over Asian people (or minorities) it could have otherwise cast if it actually tried to find any.
I’ll grant that Daken is basically an unknown within “mainstream” media, but if you honestly can’t understand why people would be at least slightly annoyed by them making Daken a full-on white guy, even though that makes literally no sense due to his background and motivations, then you’re either being willfully blind or woefully stupid.
P.S. For the record, people did bitch about Heimdall being a black guy (and probably still do) even though the “race-lifting” in Thor ranks among the most logical “race-lifting” that’s likely to have ever happened in media in general: they’re a human-looking alien race that was worshipped by the Norse and not actually Norse themselves. Heimdall’s not even actually black because he’s not even human. Additionally, he’s a relatively minor character or, at least, a moderate supporting character who people know more for the actor than the character.
As aforementioned, I’m sure you find some of the relative comic-book Thor fans who were absolutely livid that he went from being a white guy to a black guy. However, even if you could, to use your own argument for Daken, given Heimdall wasn’t known to mainstream people, one has to ask the same question: Why would Heimdall becoming black matter if Daken becoming white supposedly shouldn’t matter?
KOF and Avatar are stories very connected to Eastern mythology, lore and culture, in those cases whitewashing is bad.
Daken is a really really minor (and lame) character.
If he’s made white, nothing will be lost. In fact, it would make him easier to fit in the very American-centric X-Men film series, an unknown son hailing from Japan would be too absurd, since I don’t think Fox wants to address the Japanese thing in this new continuity when they already had it in The Wolverine. The “Japan chapter” is already done, move on, please.
And did it have any consequence. Nope. Because no one freaking gives a shit but immature comic book geeks.
They don’t deserve to live in this planet. Bunch of sissy morons.
I don’t care if the characters become black or not, I don’t give a fuck about the race or skin color, they do whatever they want, it won’t change a thing. What I’m dismissing here is that a few stupid comic book geeks are going to say it’s a sacrilege, LOL, grow some beard and stop complaining about irrelevant things.
Puberty? (^w^)/
(Fuck it. I’m going to double post for once since I don’t want to wait around. )
Screw the rules, I have green hair!
[EDIT: Oh, I guess I didn’t. Yay?]
I didn’t mean Laura a.k.a. X-23 was going to be naturally albino or anything because of a healing factor or anything, though would be a interesting take. Personally, if we’re suddenly pretending “realism” in mutant genetics with regards to normally non-physically manifesting powers affecting their looks, then I’d say that albinism would be far more likely to be “linked” to “photokinesis”/light-manipulation powers. [/pseudo-science nerdiness]
waits for Hollywood to take this as incentive to white-wash Photon
I was just pointing out unless Laura was already naturally tan, which neither of her parents are, then it wouldn’t make much sense for her to be as tan as she was in Evolution in the comics, which is why I have no problem with her having such fair–often almost “pasty”–white skin the comics nowadays. That’s all–I’m admit my wording there could have been better. I guess Wolverine or Laura could maybe become tan(ner) if they actively worked at it like you say, but neither of them have time to do for various reasons; hell, Laura was basically a shut-in slave for the first decade and a half of her life, so, yeah, no tan there.
That said, it’s interesting to note that in Evolution, Sarah Kinney is rather tan looking even though I don’t think she’s Laura’s (surrogate) mother there ironically enough.
There’s a reason (or two) it’s called the Most Common Super Power. (Warning: TV Tropes!)
I know, lol. I was just pretty shocked when X-23 premiered in Marvel Puzzle Quest with uh…more “x-gene” than I remember her with:
I mean, I knew she had the goods back in mahvel, but I’m just sitting over here like…
I get the point you are trying to make, but I disagree here. The gods are not aliens. They were born from Earth, and as such they have the appearance of the people of their region. As shown in Thor annual #5 1976. They just built Asgard later and moved there.
u sure this applies in cinematic universe?
Oh, well if we are talking cinematic universe then who knows. With all this talk about Laura I guess I got confused then. She’s got the best genes, that’s why her tits have been growing.
I was talking purely about the MCU versions since that’s the version Magegg was bringing with regards to “race lifting” relatively no-name Heimdall into Idris Elba for the movies.
I know very little about comic-book beyond the fact that vague stuff about Donald Blake, the thing about them being in Braxton, Oklahoma post-Ragnarok, Loki coming back as a woman post-Ragnarok, and apparently him having a sister now named Angela or something. Almost all of that is from sporadic Wikipedia “research” though, so good to know about the comic version I guess, even though that no longer applies due to that Secret War/Battleworld bullshit or whatever just happened last year.
pro tip: secret wars really didn’t do anything. Like…post secret wars and pre are 98% similar.
