Minorities in Comics and Other Media, etc

Regina King from 'We Are Rorschach;... err ahh rather, HBO Watchmen.

Attachment 82149

This looks like a sequel to the original comic (or movie).

The only way Rorschach gets a following is if the testament he leaves at the end of the story is discovered. Placing this
some time after the main story.

Either that or the creators have re-written the original to the point where you might as well not even call it Watchmen.

Heard about this for a while now, but I'm glad to hear that the movie "Yasuke" will be coming out. It will tell about an African who was brought to Japan as a slave by missionaries during the 16th century and eventually became the first non-Asian to become a samurai (under Oda Nobunaga no less!)

From bleedingcool.com https://www.bleedingcool.com/2019/05...biopic-yasuke/:



Glad to see this part of history gets to be told! Hoping for some great martial arts action and a great performance from Boseman!

Who will play Nobunaga? Im hoping for Ken Watanabe

It's not often that we're left speechless, but this trailer for writer/director Jeremy Saville's "comedy," Loqueesha, has left our mouths agape. We're not going to give the trailer any hits but here's the official description of the film sent out by PR firm October Coast:

"From Writer/Director Jeremy Saville, Loqueesha is the hilarious and heartwarming story of Joe, an astute and underachieving Detroit bartender who values truth above everything. When Joe finds out he needs to pay for his gifted son’s private school education, he submits an audition to a local radio station for his own talk therapy show. After he’s rejected, he invents a larger-than-life Black female personality named Loqueesha, who is hired sight unseen by the unwitting radio station owners. As Loqueesha’s star rises, Joe is increasingly challenged with keeping her identity a secret, maintaining his own sense of self and grappling with the often bizarre perceptions of an audience who have absolutely no idea who they’re talking, or listening, to. With a diverse cast of breakthrough actors, Loqueesha takes viewers on an unexpected and thought-provoking journey that challenges society’s—and our own—conventional beliefs about identity and perception."

Trolling Black women for notoriety is nothing new, and Saville seems to be just the latest culprit.

Black Twitter is going to have a FIELD day.

The director is black.

ANd you got some saying what about White Chick with the Wayans.

Marlon & Shawn were playing FBI agents undercover. You can excuse that.

This is playing on a stereotype and he does it to get his kid in private school?

Yeah , a private school. Like WTF ? I could understand if the bartender had legal bills or something to pay so he could see his son possibly as some big motivation here. But a spoiled wife demanding her husband get their son into a rich private school and that is why he poses as a black woman over radio is just the ultimate in terrible **** reasoning.

I hope it isn't terrible. I get irritated at the idea of anyone other than Gaiman using the Endless characters, and while the DCAU is mostly great, they also have a history of producing some flat performances. Not every actor is qualified to do voice work

[RoxanneBluePots]

This was a few pages back but it regards black people in MK with super powers.

On the villain side you got Geras and on the heroic side you have Jade. Though the latter kind of falls into ambiguously brown territory.

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 American.

38 is WAY too young.

Rest In Peace.
