[QUOTE=WallStreeter;5867155]Come to think of it a Storm Disney plus series or tv show could introduce the orishas. Shang Chi is huge and introduced Asian mystical elements and culture.[/QUOTE]
A storm Disney plus show? That looks like YEARS in the future but I love your optimism. And yeah it would do that and more.

[QUOTE=WallStreeter;5867145]There’s another problem. Greco-Roman and Norse gods are commonly taught in American schools, other gods far less so, if at all. You would have to hire writers, editors, and executives familiar with those cultures to make this happen. It broadly won’t happen until Disney becomes more diverse. Perhaps you should be a part of this change and find a way to get a job at Marvel as a writer or editor.[/QUOTE]
There must be a change is jdw even the editor in chief who is his boss in the xoffice

[QUOTE=butterflykyss;5866591]you're welcome stormy I thought that uncanny image was just her bioelectric lightning and not a sunbeam.[/QUOTE]
Come to think of it, that could be it, and it makes this moment even more fascinating, potentially Ororo generated enough energy to be compared to the "sun"
[QUOTE=WallStreeter;5866658]Monica might be as powerful. But definitely there is gender and racial discrimination against non white characters. But at least Storm
Was made queen of Arrako and she recently killed those villains with air pressure. It was a pretty good feat.[/QUOTE]
Yes, in my opinion Monica and Storm are Marvel's two most powerful black women, while one is written as a classy BC character, serving more as a supporting cast on teams, but still proving extremely versatile and powerful, the other that even being extremely popular, it is potentially treated by writers as a tool to generate movement in history, which over time its powers have been limited by whoever wrote it, by sheer ignorance, laziness, racism, only now has its powers better explored, of creative way, but even so, both, or rather Storm, have more "planetary" exploits, as white characters have more explored moments of related cosmic levels.
I really hope that Al Ewing continues to develop Storm, and other writers who start to treat her with more respect, and who knows, maybe one day, we'll see more Hadari Yao moments fully consolidated into various solo titles, moments, feats, mine eyes water just thinking about it.

This should be a feat. Great showing of her sneak theif skills

Halle has made a big comeback in Hollywood. She is a director now and got a deal at Netflix. She talked about the crappy script for Catwoman and the absurd villain.
Why am I mentioning this? She has campaigned to be Storm again. And with that brining back Andrew Garfield and Tobey MacGuire in Spider Man No Way Home, they say the X-Men will be in Dr. Strange 2. We may see Halle as Storm next year. Thoughts?

Ugh! This series is what made me dislike the Rachel Summers character so much. Bish tried to mess with my Storm so much.

Look, I love me some Halle Berry and I can tell you she was awful as Storm. It wasn't just the weak script - thought they never gave her much to work with - she doesn't have the right character presence to play Storm.
I am confident Marvel will cast a more comic book accurate version for the X-Men's introduction into the MCU.

This.
If Halle really does feel such a connection with Storm then let her use her voice/platform to keep a flame under the fat cats in the MCU to do Storm properly. Some time ago someone in here said she should play Ainet (Storm's tutor/2nd mother) and I feel that would work well.

Nah she sucked as Storm and as Catwoman. She's just not good at playing comic characters.

Same here. She's a great actress but when it comes to playing comic book characters her acting skills give me Beyonce teas and i'm not here for it

Personally, as long as she does a good job I don’t care. I don’t think she sucked as Storm or Catwoman.
I see the MCU wanting to use Halle’s name recognition.

Halle got a lot of flak that a white male or White female actor would never get. Take Catwoman. She was not the only person in Catwoman. Obviously it has a writer, director, and other actors. The movie was critically planned, yet to say she is not good atsming comic book movies bars in this is absurd.
I’m a writer. The script itself had serious flaws. The main villain, played by Sharon Stone was selling plastic surgery treatments that could petrify people like it did her. That’s not the most compelling villain, and that’s why the film was a commercial failure.
As for X-Men? What dramatic acting did the others bring to their roles than Halle supposedly didn’t? Singer nerfed all the female characters and all of the focus was on three white male characters. Wolverine, Xavier, and Magneto.
Storm was just the token Black.
I don’t think any actor could have done that great a job as Storm in those movies, and that’s due to how Singer and Fox handled the franchise. After all Sunspot twice got white washed, and so did Dr. Reyes. So Fox really wanted an all white cast, they stuck on Halle as a token and people want to comply blame her because they didn’t like th character?

IF they are going to do a 50 year old Storm i'd rather viola davis play Storm than halle. That's how much i feel Halle was miscast.

Storm told her that Rachel can't stop her even if she tried. That's when I knew this girl was way over her head. I mean she tried the same thing with Emma toll she was schooled and Emma doesn't have the amount of raw power that storm has. A fight between storm and Rachel would be bad for Rachel.
