Minorities in Comics and Other Media, etc

There is also Antia Fite from the Young Justice comic and Pia Morales from Mystik U.

For examples outside of the Big 2, there is Rada Beauregard from the recent Lady Death comics and Alyssa Myles from Valiant's Shadow Man.

Yeah. I forget that Empress powers are magical in nature.

Not like they ever use her though.

Man, this feels like a train wreck in the making to me and I'm a fan of the game.

Two things that should have been easy but Hollywood never got right somehow, Street Fighter and Dungeons and Dragons.

D&D kinda gets a pass because for decades nobody could make a decent fantasy film before LOTR.

Wouldn't doing a D&D movie based on the cartoon be fairly easy? Who wouldn't want to see Venger on the big screen? Though a live-action Tiamat might be nightmare fuel for kids...

I'd say Mortal Kombat is a lot easier for Hollywood than Street Fighter. The former is a straight forward martial arts fantasy story about saving the world with some r rated violence. The latter barely has a plot and often suffers from the question of who is best suited to be the main protagonist. Ryu and Ken are the mascot characters but Guile, Chun-Li and Cammy are the ones most invested in stopping Bison.

Man, I am glad Gina is gone. She can't act, and seems to be a dummy. Good riddance.

If you are ever going to compare yourself to Jews in Nazi Germany... stop and go read a damn book.

These peoples victim complex is out of control.

[MindofShadow]

Oh and Ali being rumored to play Joel... man, it is like Hollywood loves triggering gaters as a past time. Love it. Even when it turned out false, the outrage and the years it took off the gamer folks was worth it lol

The only reason she ever had a career in the first place is because she's a female bodybuilder that looks hot by 2020 standards.

It's easier to get somebody who can already act ( and a woman in the biz already has met a certain standard) and work them out and or put them on the Juice (or both) or something. Marvel does that all the time.

15 years or so ago she would have been the end boss in a lady Martial Arts flick at best ( and she wouldn't have any speaking line) or at worst Vince McMahon would have tried to make something of her despite her utter lack of charisma.

She was extremely fortunate until she fucked herself over.

Big-up to my guy Ray Fisher, it takes a brotha. If that dirtbag Wheadon would pull up on a pregnant woman, a pregnant white chick and not for nuthin' the coldest acteess in that whole cast imo, then Ray was MOST DEFINITELY was gettin that ol' bullshit from Wheadon. Fisher was prolly tight everytime he had to even hear from dude. ****, I been there, when your praying, literally, to catch a muthafka in the street on the strength. Tshhh, that aint no way to wake up in the morning.

In the inaugural episode of Shadow And Act's new podcast, Opening Act, S&A Deputy Editor Trey Mangum interviewed Tyler James Williams about his time in Hollywood, including working on Everybody Hates Chris and Let It Shine.

When discussing Everybody Hates Chris, Williams said how he and the cast didn't know how popular the show would become in syndication since the show's numbers started declining after UPN merged with the CW.

"Once that merger with the CW happened, our numbers started tanking, like all the other Black shows that were on UPN, so we were very much so told that nobody was watching it," he said. Contrast that to modern-day, when scores of fans from all walks of life talk about how important the show was to them.

Williams also talked about another phenomenon Black America constantly deals with--having to be twice as good to open doors for others. Williams felt this pressure when he was promoting Let It Shine, one of the few all-Black Disney Channel movies.

"I very much so knew [about the pressure] and it was very stressful for me, actually, promoting that film," he said. "Not only was it a primarily Black-led film for Disney, we were introducing battle rap for the Disney Channel community and that's a task that's not particularly easy to do[.] I understood what came with that, I understood how hard that was going to be and if we failed to make it a success and to get it to resonate with people there may not be very others that [would come] behind it."

He said he even told the cast they would have to be exceptional in order to convince Disney Channel to make other Black films after Let It Shine.

"We have to work twice as hard," he said. "We just have to because if this doesn't do well it will reflect on everyone behind us."

Then she cosplayed as Rowdy Roddy Piper, but her wrestling kind of stunk too, not as bad as Nia Jax, but she didn't have nepotism to save her. Now she's on a farm somewhere.
