Not really. Her face model is unambiguously a Black woman. But, like Kitana represents the fantasy Japanese woman, Jade is a Black fantasy character as opposed to Jacqui Briggs' explicitly Black...

That's a fair assessment. I think the chosen direction of the voice acting (or its choice of actors for certain characters) probably still colors my opinion of S2's relationship dynamics more than...

Definitely. I figured with the time travel nonsense that would inevitably occur, Mileena would be one of the characters to show up, or that she'd be playable in the arcade modes.

I'm not arguing that at all (my sister and I used to play those two characters almost exclusively as kids after Mileena and Kitana), but the franchise's constant up-and-down revivals over the console...

Honestly, I would've argued Scorpion and Sub-Zero's combined popularity over the years had more to do with the presumed decrease in Liu Kang's spotlight than Johnny Cage. Then there's the fact that...

Villains tend to be extremely popular (or loathed) characters among certain groups, so I'm not surprised that they're staying power or narrative alterations tend to stick longer (even if it ends up...

I would've figured it was because they were trying to boost Emma Frost's status post-New X-Men that Jean stayed M.I.A. for so long, but that makes sense. Opinion on Jean Grey's OPness seems divided...

I really don't get the "overpowered" argument against Monica Rambeau when no one seemed to really complain about Jean Grey being a god-tier mutant who never solved everyone's problems and battles...

I don't think Disney ever really put their best foot forward with games development. I remember TRON 2.0's biggest problem was the utter apathy they showed toward advertising it (they really did not...

That mustard color is clashing with his skin tone imho.



Anyone?

Hey, y'all can anyone give me a clear definition of "Afro-futurism", because it seems to be the "Magical Realism" of the writing world. I've seen it merely described as "Science Fiction, but written...

Yeah, that sounds like racism (internalized or otherwise), particularly concern trolling. I've seen others state that he was meant to resemble Mifune as well.

What 4sake Baned said above. Whitewashing is another problem the CW has (esp. within the "Arrowverse"), and they keep on doing it.

I really loathe the CW's blantant colorism. This is twice they miscast [a] Vixen [character] and I really disliked the casting choice for Hawkgirl as well.

Besides Telltale. That's Michonne in a TWD apocalypse (the other was Clementine in the second season). It was decent for a three episode series.

I was struggling to stay awake for most of it. Figured I maintained wakefulness by Sony's conference because of all those power naps. That said, there really wasn't a lot that particularly wowed me...

I honestly can't even be hype about WD2's protagonist because how bland the original was, but it is amusing to see gamers get tangled up in knots over something Ubisoft has done multiple time with...

There's that, and I remember hearing that the Amazing Spider-Man [movie] costume was influenced by Spider-Man 2099 on some level.

Yeah, that's different from actually whitewashing the character. It gives me the feeling that Miles and everything associated with his multiple titles are about experience what Spider-Man 2099/Miguel...

At this point, I'm beginning to think it's not even a want to see a Black Batman or Black James Bond, but just to see someone Black occupy that specific space, character type or genre? Racebending...

Considering this isn't Star Wars and Del Toro is still involved in the production of the film, Boyega's character will be different from Finn by virtue of a different franchise, writers and...

I figured. Thanks for the clarification.

I lurk on the at website myself, but I wouldn't want to join considering it houses and supports some of the worst mentalities I loathe about the video game community (I proactively try to avoid by...

Maybe its the quality of the images, but Sean and Laura Matsuda are looking progressive paler every time Capcom releases new artwork of them.

The thing about meh celebrities like Hiddleston is that they don't have to be much of anything to be considered a "ladies man" or "sexiest man alive".
