Whatever you say....

Well what do YOU say? Beyond implying questionable motives for opinions I express...

Quote:

From thirty something years ago, yes. Pretty much every adaptation since then has gone with that depiction.

But that says more about the times that those depictions came from than the source material, doesn't it? Even the '78 Superman movie had non-white Kryptonians, but that also had nothing to do with the source material, and everything to do with it being 1978.

Quote:

No I can say pretty certainly there won't be white people in Wakanda. Other than frozen Bucky, I guess. Unless that's where Stan Lee's cameo is, which admittedly would be funny.

Well I hope you're wrong (not about the Lee cameo!) as this would be a good time to really put their money where their mouth is as far as an all-inclusive Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Quote:

Perspective: MASK was poorly animated, thinly plotted drivel made to sell toys and was popular for like 2 years in the 80s.

True. But you could say that about almost every toy-selling cartoon.

Quote:

The heroes you should actually care about are the significant others who support you action figure hoarding maniacs while you sit around typing essay length posts about comics and fantasy for hours on end.

Why don't you let people decide what they want to care about rather than telling them what they "should" care about? FYI - it isn't an either / or proposition - people can care about others in their life and still have time to express opinions on hobbies / interests they may have online. Also, I support myself, and I'm pretty sure most people who post on this board work to enable them to pay for their hobbies regardless of which side of the current discussion they are on.
