    Depending on where they intend to set it history wise, Black Superman could end up like Blue Marvel without the race hiding angle.

    But I think it's going to do what your average Elseworlds comic does but in movie form. Where you take the Superman concepts, plug them into the new period/setting and go from there.

    The only thing I am sure of is that the movie will have Lex Luthor in it because its ALWAYS Lex Luthor. Somebody needs to do one of those movie petitions to ask DC to stop using Lex Luthor all the damn time already.
    Snyder's Superman is not remotely like Hyperion.

    Paul Mooney has passed... heart attack, he was 79.
    The Negrodamus skits from Chappelle's Show floored me everydamntime. Oddly enough today would have Malcolm X's birthday.
    His 'Jesus Was Black' special was hilarious too, RIP.
    Beefing up the old home security, huh?
    You bet yer ass.

    Man, I remember Mooney did a gig at Harlem's Lenox Lounge for about a month about I guess about 10 years back now (!).

    It surprised the heck out of me at the time given his status and how tiny the Lenox Lounge venue was. I thought he must have been doing a favor for the owner, which I thought was really cool all things considered.

    R.I.P.

    This controversy on how ugly or not ugly the Shang Chi actor is is somewhat fascinating

    Standards of attraction based on European features, of course.

    I wonder representative of the Chinese population are the people complaining about this.

    Whatever the case, no one should call him or any other actor ugly. Frankly, superheroes could use more non-standard looking people

    Yeah, it is China calling him ugly.

    It is just interesting. I mean... cultures have different beauty standards. I've seen pictures of what they consider "leading man material' and yeah... dudes look like Asian Thranduil/Legolas lol.

    I'm not saying it is wrong, just interesting.

    Yep, you'd be surprised at how some folks from the far East are obsessed with "Eurocentric" features.

    I watched a couple of docs on Youtube and needless to say, I was stunned.

    Simu Liu is not ugly...at all. Anyone saying that guy's ugly needs to get their eyes examined.

    I don't know to the extent people in China have this, but I recall a youtuber I follow pointing this out as a criticism in the characters designs of some Japanese anime and video games.

    Damn. Didn't know Salma Hayek was gonna be in Eternals

    And talk about being an action star — you’re playing a superhero next in Marvel’s “Eternals.”
    It never crossed my mind to be in a Marvel movie. I guess that I thought that boat had sailed, and it was an absolute shock. All of a sudden, I got a call: “They want to talk to you about a new franchise.” And I was like, “What?” And I said OK, but they don’t tell you any information until you’re on the call. It’s kind of hard to be an action hero if you’re Mexican. It’s really hard to be an action hero if you’re a Mexican and a woman. But to be an action hero, being Mexican, a woman, and my age, it felt like they were punking me. And then the worst part is that I was one of the first people they cast. I had to keep my mouth shut for so many months. I couldn’t tell a soul. And I couldn’t wait for the day that I could say it.
    Double Damn.

    I'm not even blaming China... they can like what they like. Don't really care, it is just interesting the difference.
