Movie News WTF?: Dean Cain discusses if Superman has to be White & if Black Panther needs to be Black

[geechiedan]

the problem isn't who is in the suit...its SUPERMAN HIMSELF AS A CHARACTER..he's too vanilla.. there is no inner conflict for him

he's over powered and theres no real darkside.. he's too..GOOD. Once you get passed the first movie introdcing him where he's all conflicted trying to figure who he is...then where do you go?

this has ALWAYS been the problem with superman..its why the sequels got worse and worse under reeves...

you can do this if you want to...

but that wouldn't change the underlying issue...SUPERMAN HAS NO CONFLICT...

THE MYTHOS OF SUPERMAN NEEDS TO CHANGE NOT THE ACTOR OR SKIN COLOR OF THE CHARACTER

Im Not Saying Simply Change the Color of the Person In the Suit....Do the Actual Val Zod/Superman Earth 2 Story.....They Keep Their Superman on Earth 1

he back on his bullsh*t

probably why they killed him off of Supergirl

 

[Lou_Kayge]

WHOA....what? African Country from fictional Bangalla? ok...I'll use that in my future arguments. Did not know this.

I'm not saying the Phantom necessarily has to be black, but he preceded the Panther by 30 years.

 

[MistaPhantastic]

DC bought and then destroyed an entire universe of "characters of color"

so...

I was just coming in here to post about Icon.
If DC wants a black "superman", well, they already have one. I'd rather see an Agustus Freeman story rather than yet another Superman origin story, but colorized.

 

[RoomService]

This motherfucker said sushiman..WTF.

He said that happened when he was first cast for the role.

Dean Cain played Superman in the ABC series Lois and Clark from 1993 to 1997 How many people were posting things... foh

When I was first cast as Superman and we first started doing the role, the internet was in its infancy and people were posting things. Somebody posted, 'We wanted Superman not Sushiman.'

Superman uses sunlight (specifically the yellow sun of earth, he came from a planet with a red sun) to charge his cells. This gives him abilities...this power would require melanin or a comparable substitute. That's why they say there's a precedent that says he should be black.

I don't know about melanin being an advantage in this case. African Americans and other people of color have a lower amount of Vitamin D in our bodies because of our Darker skin. We don't absorb as much UV from the Sun. Of course, we are talking about an Alien being with a different Physiology altogether in a comic no less so anything is possible if you write a good story

 

[Hey Julian!]

Yes & Yes.

This racist ass along with Kevin Sorbo has ruined a portion of my TV childhood. I can never watch Lois and Clark nor Hercules the same way again.

This motherfucker said they have been a few bad instances with cops. Stupid fuck.

Once again it depends on the character. Black Panther could never be white because he was born in an African country that was never colonized. Superman is a fuckin alien so it wouldn't technically matter but I would keep certain icons the same. I prefer a new character being black instead of swapping the color of someone (Miles Morales). But if their race is not determined by their character then its fair game (Black Canary).

yea this right here.... if the character's ethnicity or race is extremely significant to the character being who they are then you can do with whatever. When it is extremely significant under those instances is where this can become problematic. Outside of that it is fair game. You still going to get push back changing a black character to white because we have so little it feels like come on man how you going to go and do that....

@ViCiouS @fonzerrillii @ansatsusha_gouki

Yeah he shouldn't say Truth, Justice and the American Way. The American Way doesn't make as much sense in the context of the world. Versus the 30's where so much more of the population believed our own Government propaganda.

The world have values that aren't singularly American and coming from the point of view of an Alien, ok he does have American values (because he was raised here) but the concept of doing the right thing are not a state concept. Superman doesn't go around correcting things on mass that are non American.

 

[The Plutonian]

In the movie yes.

That gif is wild. I wish I could do that. Walk into a crowded mall in broad daylight then do it and watch mfs running and screaming. Sheeeeiiidd

 

[Mr. Met]

As they should.

Great thing about America is we don't have to agree.

Bad thing about America is what happens to those who don't agree with the elites point of view.

Marcus Garvey maybe had it right.

Instead of trying to make superman black why not make a black superheroe better.
It kills me how us blacks beg whites to make the heros they invented black rather than create our own heros.
Same shit we do with Jesus and Santa while ignoring our own black deities.
