Storm >>> APPRECIATION <<<

[Golden Guardian of Good]

I did some looking around and found this. 4:32 mark makes our point why it is important for accurate representation of dark skinned women but the whole video is worth watching :



And the more interesting thing is that this is not endemic to Asian culture. It is something that is engrained in western society as well which is why it has taken so long to see this form of representation in film.

Yes, this was one of the videos I was talking about.

Yep this is very important. Also its not like asian and latinx cultures dont have colorism either.. It boogles the mind that folks dont see how connected systematic racism is

I wouldnt say animated shows bc her most famous portrayal TAS, had her light

It wasn't that TAS made her lightskinned, it's that they made all black people lightskinned. You see this often in a lot of mainstream(white-centric) animated/painted media. Their skin palette just doesn't go very dark, so the random one or two black characters are usually just a couple shades darker than the white majority of the cast. Notice Bishop and his sister are the exact same color as Storm. They are all the same 'black'. You can see that as well in this image from the Claremont run.





Luke Cage, Storm, Misty, and everyone in Harlem are more or less the exact same hue/value(except that one old lady who is more charcoal grey for some reason).

The darker her skin is, the brighter her hair looks, and the bolder her overall character IS.

Color is important. We're talking Disney, and in a post-BP world, the conversation is merch.

Not sure if she has been mentioned but what about Deborah Ayorinde as Storm:

I don't know how well she can act but she does remind me of Storm.

[ExodusCloak]

She'd make a good Storm.

She looks the part, but a lot of people are going to hate that she's super short.
