    Same here. They've been depicted/drawn/colored as much for many years.

    I was looking at trailers and updated lists for marvel and dc tv,games,cartoons,webseries and movies and i have to say both dc and marvel outside of comics are more truly diverse then ever before and will become more so in the future.

    Of course the comics,shows,games and cartoons are doing better job on average then live action movies but the movies are doing better job then before and will continue to become more diverse.
    I wonder if marvel is still planning a another blade movie or show.
    It was mention they had plans for a female blade live action show or movie a few years ago but i think it may change to original blade.
    Blade did have a short cartoon series like black panther as well but i have feeling black panther may get another cartoon series before blade.
    I think if any marvel female superhero get thier cartoon series,it will be jane thor,captain marvel or ms.marvel.
    This will be a team up cartoon show upcoming,ant-man and the wasp.
    Latinos solo cartoon series could be white tiger or ghost rider reyes.

    It's nice to see that Marvel is continuing to focus on diversity among it's characters even as it kicks off it's legacy era. Now with Bendis departing for DC, it would be a good opportunity for them to try to bring in more fresh, diverse writers and editors to give a chance. Who knows what gems they may find.

    IMO now would be a perfect time for Marvel to extend a offer to Joseph Illege

    There's an actual petition to get Eve Ewing to write an Ironheart solo. So, yeah, hopefully Marvel does show a real commitment to bringing in more diverse voices.

    The newly announced EXILES series has its fair share of diversity. With writer Saladin Ahmed and artist Javier Rodriguez being the creative team (both PoC), Saladin has confirmed Blink to be West Indian, from the Bahamas. That means all the women on the team are women of color. We've got to support this series.

    The last member of Exiles has been revealed to be Valkyrie--inspired by Tess Thompson's iteration in Thor Ragnarok.

    Actually, they are Jewish/Roma. They are drawn as white-passing.

    They were white characters, but that changed in the 70s. Marvel needs to decide what they are doing. If they are half or fully Romani, then most Romani are dark skinned, not white. Some might be white-look, but all comics characters that are Romani are "white." Stems from outsiders confusing traveling groups and people outside Romani groups pretending to be Romani for style reasons, or to pretend to be "witches" (even though that's culturally inaccurate). Also from the very few that are white look. And a lot of times from bad Google searches people make where they think photo references are Romani when they are not.

    If these characters are white, then all the parts of them that are Romani would also have to be removed, as you can't be both. If they are Romani, then they need to be depicted more accurately, and colorists need to get on the ball and do their research and consult actual Romani.

    The only time I really remember Doom being colored brown was in the most recent issue of Gwenpool.

    Which is great, but it's mostly been the exception, not the rule. Being that they have only three canonically Romani characters, and they are all mostly depicted as white is inaccurate, and needs improved.

    After the appearance of Robbi Reyes' Ghost Rider on SHIELD (don't say anything about the plot, I haven't watched it yet), there's still talk of a Ghost Rider Netflix series. Personally, I'm torn on this. On one hand, a GR series with anyone, if done right, would be beyond awesome, and I want to see Robbie promoted more as a badass Hispanic character. On the other hand, I personally feel that a Netflix show would better fit Johnny Blaze and/or Danny Ketch. What do you all think? Also, I wonder if we'll ever see Alejandra again?
