Plus too, most the people in the country and the world regardless of their skin color fawn over these black n brown athletes and entertainers as if they were superheroes. So is it that surprising that a character like BP when allowed the same perks as his caucasian contemporaries, can become such a profitable sensation?
With the floppies themselves, i think that archaic system we talked about last week means that things will never change for characters that weren't booming with the old establishment (batman, spider-man, wolverine, etc), bc it's gonna be roughly the same audience buying the floppies. BP can have the highest grossing trilogy, record making AAA game, and be top 5 in toys and merch, but i don't think that'll ever effect his floppy sales more than a renumbering and variant cover would.. bc that's what tickles the pickle of the old establishment.
So the floppies almost don't matter, if not for serving as a reservoir for future stories in outside media
