Should Charlize Theron play Storm?

[Omega Alpha]

This thread continues to be hilarious. And the reason it works so well is that Storm fans (with some exceptions) are ridiculously humorless.

I hope this thread never closes, ever. It's too much entertainment.

Charlize is a phenomenal actress and I would watch her no matter what role they gave her in a Marvel-based film. Congratulations to Ms. Theron on the adoption of her second child of African descent.

Hmm... A black man engulfed in flames amidst a small group of whites? Now, where have I seen that image before?

That subliminal message will be lost on quite a few people.

I'm aware the op is trolling. Doesn't make it any less racist.

White people and privilege are a thing.

[RLAAMJR.]

How is the topic racist? Whether Op is trolling matters little. The question is simple, if we can have a black Human Torch, then we can have a White Storm. I don't see the issue.

True.

Black women are already poorly represented in Hollywood, so changing the race of one of the few black women in comics to white is offensive.

Well i believe that if they make Storm white, they will make another ome black. I wont mind seeing a white Storm and a black Cyclops or black Jean Grey at the same time.

Atm DC has that I know of has two black Supermans, a Latino Superman, and of course multiple white Supermans. No biggie. Seriously.

You might be on to something there...

So then changing the Human Torch to a black man should be offensive to white people?

You should be more offended by Chris Evans or Brian Austin green. Johnny has been white in all forms for over fifty years and will be back to white in movies once Jordan hangs it up. Enjoy having a capable actor comfortably in the seat, with good writing and directing for once.

Remember writing and directing? These two things screwed Halle. OP has done a masterful job of trolling here, but paired with a good crew charlize would at least be less embarrassing than most other choices.

Didnt we also get a black Wonder Woman?

Better yet, make Cyke a woman and leave Jean and Wolverine as they are. Let's shake up the love triangle to something interesting this time.

Also black Aqua Woman.

I don't see what any of this means to storm staying black. Like black women only have 4 major characters in the big two and only one storm is actually big. Can we please have our cake. You people have a monstrous room size cake while we just have a cupcake. Can we get a piece of yours or eat ours without you guys crying like spoiled children

We know the answer to that and it's nope even though they are just trolling.

There aren't many white heroes whose race I consider important to who they are (Steve Rogers is the only one that comes to mind, the combo of looking like the Aryan ideal while being the Nazi's most implacable enemy is to me part of what makes it good), even my favorites can be switched up as long as the acting and parts are good - I care more about that than who is playing them.

As a matter of fact, yes...

1. Wonder Woman (Vol 1) #204 (February, 1973)
2. Wonder Woman Annual (vol. 2) #8 (September, 1999)
