I like the meta aspect of it and dude playing Simon Williams was very good as Black Manta. I’ll give it a full episode at least. Can’t be any worse than Ironheart which I didn’t even get halfway through the first episode of.

I’m not upset he is black but find it a curious choice.

Wonder Man’s brother is Grim Reaper and that character is unbelievably racist in the comics.

At what point does the obvious blackwashing of characters start to bother people? Couldn't someone with even a hint of creativity and imagination, create a great black superhero character that would also be a great movie?

Black people, of all people, should be pissed that Hollywood takes white characters and turns them black. It's a legit slap in the face and insulting.

I'm not mad, just tired. And this character looks awful, an even bigger slap in the face, turning a shite character into a black guy.

Are they just not making movies for the lesser known marvel characters anymore?


I bet if gotg was made today they'd turn it into some forgettable Disney+ show too

It does look good but I’m cautious with that. Marvel makes good trailers and the show ends up sucking. Ie Secret Invasion.

The race swap doesnt bother me. Samuel L. Jackson nailed Nick Fury for instance. What bothers me is the motivation to do it is not because that was the most talented guy that fit the character

I usually shite all over these things but this looks really good. I was also a huge fan of Moon Knight which got whacked.

I did, bought it myself back in the 70s. Remember it well, really liked the connection between Wonder Man and Vision due to the use of Simon Williams' brain waves.

But sold it with my entire collection back in 2016.

This series looks like a joke, almost as bad of a shite on the original character as what they did to Namor.

I was in a Marvel phase in the mid-70's and was there when the big secret was that The Vision was created from the body of the 1940's android The Human Torch and the brain patterns of "the late" Wonder Man.

Wonder Man was killed off and revived so many times, I'd lost interest by the time he had his glory days as half of a buddy-cop team with The Beast.

the more you guys perpetuate these crap shows/films prior to doomsday, the more likely they go back to making them after.

I'm tired of superhero movies. They all have an agenda now. Not going watch doomsday or secret wars at all

Black Nick Fury was established in the Ultimate Marvel universe, so it wasn't some shite made up for a check list.

The irony is that they blackwash white characters while failing to make a Blade movie.

I guess he found his niche as an actor; race-swapping super heroes.

If you don’t do the research, you’re bound by ignorance. The guy is a great actor. IMDB also helps on his previous work, but hey this isn’t the expert movie analysis hate on black actors thread either.
