Aren't we having a discussion? In a discussion we discuss many things.
If it wasn't important, if it wasn't something that people were interested in then we wouldn't have so many groups demanding representation in movies, TV and yes, comic books.
What may not be important to you might be important to someone else.
I fully understand the importance of it...and would be more inclined to agree if that train of thought was applied to a Black female character who was written as exemplifying White veneration. Storm, regardless of how she looks, has never been such a character who was portrayed as anything other than a beauty-full, proud, strong, independent, caring Black woman.
Know and understand her written history, before making such assertions and assumptions...that's all I'm saying.
Lord Ewing *Praise His name! Uplift Him in song!* Your divine works will be remembered and glorified in worship for all eternity. Amen!
Yes.
However folks think all that is fake on her. Because they have not seen actual folks who look like that.
DESPITE reality saying that they do exist.
However we forget where we are and who controls what.
James Earl Jones has blue eyes as does Robert Richard. How many times have we seen them on tv or movies with those eyes? How many times have they and others gotten their eyes CGI or contacts put on them?
How many women had to hide their real hair? Christina Applegate had red hair during the last 3 years of Married with Children-she had to hide it. I am sure many black actresses can tell horror stories.
What assertion am I making? When did i ever say that Storm wasn't a proud woman? I think you're reaching for something that isn't there. I said that Black girls who may decide to read X-Men will come in and see Storm as a role model. How could it possibly hurt to have Storm wear different hairstyles from time to time which is something that Black women do a lot? How is that me saying that Storm is somehow "exemplifying whiteness"? Again, you're saying something that I didn't say.
Lord Ewing *Praise His name! Uplift Him in song!* Your divine works will be remembered and glorified in worship for all eternity. Amen!
If Storm were made today she’d have natural hair and I have a creeping suspicion that when she makes her MCU debut they’ll do exactly that, both as a means to highlight her African identity and differentiate her from the mixed-raced women that have played her in the past. She’s a product of her time and for the most part that’s fine as long as writers color her correctly and give her facial features that you’d expect from an unambiguously African woman with partial black American ancestry. It’s not that complicated.
Lord Ewing *Praise His name! Uplift Him in song!* Your divine works will be remembered and glorified in worship for all eternity. Amen!
Storm should and most probably will look as her comic counterpart is. They've never done her justice cinematically so im sure they will do what they must. Storm has silky white hair and feline crystal blue eyes. Period.
And storm never had no perm
