preach.
that and I hate when they make changes to the source material that can be easily avoided.

Yeah, Michael B. Jordan would be better fit as, I dunno, an athlete in a sports movie or something.
The only characters that NEEDS to be caucasian white are Captain America, Red Skull and Magneto, since they are all tied to very specific (and racist) moments in history.
So yea, would be awesome if Aquaman was polynesian ! =D
Ahm...
Peter Parker really should also be a white kid to be honest.
I think a story of a black or any race for that matter Captain America in WWII would be awesome. Something like they wanted to test the serum on a throwaway body first but it surprisingly worked and now the government has no clue what to do with him. It could explore the racial dynamics of the era as to what would happen if a minority was propped up symbolically into that highly nationalistic time.

Going with a Polynesian influence for Aquaman seems like an attempt to make use of the subconscious connection the general public have with regard to that culture and the sea.
It certainly doesn't seem like an intentional attempt to be more diverse for diversity's sake.
It is like the "Ironfist does kung fu so he must be asian" thing.
Ahm...
and there was a black Captain America.

Pretty much. I feel like somehow BP is going to be the cause of major controversy come Captain America: Civil War. Just somehow...I know it...I am against racebending characters because one there is usually a equalivant minority character with their own story they could use, and 2 it says "We can't make him straight up ethnic, we will just paint the white person so we can get the credit".
God willing Black Panther comes out and does gangbusters. So we can nix this none sense.
MORE sarcastic than the cartoon? Sarcasm was like, at least 40% of his character in there.He was basically like he was in the JL cartoon, but with added sarcasm. But it was the first time he'd ever seemed like a legit Leaguer with character and not just a joke. Which isn't surprising given the two people who wrote for him the most were Peter David and Grant Morrison.
plus he had the hots for WW and once accidentally let her know while holding onto her lasso
It's the Pym syndrome man you can't fight it.
Peter Parker works best as naive white dude from Queens to me.Pretty sure he means Steve Rogers specifically. Also Bruce Wayne probably should be white too considering the Wayne legacy and history with Gotham. But just about everyone else around him, the Gordons, Dick, Jason, Selina, Tim, etc. could all be people of colour.
This I don't agree with. There's nothing about Peter that demands a white dude.

Well, I think the most recent film may have changed that. I like to think, anyways. Rage of Ultron Hank, though...
I hope they get more into what makes Pym such an interesting character in future films because is definitely isn't on display in Ant-Man.
It certainly isn't, but neither is the spouse abusing asshole that the general public (and the Ultimates) puts on display.
Huh? That would depend entirely on where in the Atlantic it was. The Flashpoint Paradox map that DC released had Atlantis north of the mouth of the med. It's irrelevant anyway since they have tech/magic to go wherever they want, they would have had trade and pop exchange with Europe and NA when they had their empire.
I'm like 90% sure I've seen black Atlanteans in some of the cartoons or something. Slay can you confirm?

It probably is considering the GAFer but it sounds so real, right? Especially when you have so many people here admitting to being against racebending.Ugh
Wait is this sarcasm

Its kinda sad how different marvel and dc treat aquaman and hank and at the same time reach similar results. DC, knowing they are against a rising tide, still tries to bring ligitimacy to aquaman. Noone cares to listen, but they try anyway. Marvel on the other hand leans into the skid. They dont try to fight the tide, but instead has him seek help, open womens clinics, and just be overall torn from the incident that has changed his life(especially given that just about everyone has had a negative aspect retconned from their history) but no matter what, to everyone that doesnt read his stuff, he will always be some monster like wife beater, even being compared to the likes of real life spousal abusers chris brown and sean penn.

That is why Hank is my second favorite character, he been through some shit, and realizes he needs help. Makes him really 3 dimensional. Shame they will never play that out in live action.

Did you just pick 3 at random or something? There's a plethora superheroes who's origin story necessitates they be "Caucasian White". How would you explain a character like Wonder Woman, for instance?The only characters that NEEDS to be caucasian white are Captain America, Red Skull and Magneto, since they are all tied to very specific (and racist) moments in history.

Um, we actually know who her parents were."In Greek mythology, the Amazons were a race of woman warriors. Herodotus reported that they were related to the Scythians (an Iranian people) and placed them in a region bordering Scythia in Sarmatia (modern territory of Ukraine). Other historiographers place them in Anatolia,[1] or sometimes Libya.[2]"
