That animated movie actually looks cool.

It looks so fucking cool. I'm pretty pumped for it.

I mentioned the Superman developments to my wife, and the talks around Micheal B Jordan, and her thoughts were that as a person of colour all of this seems too token, and she wishes they'd develop a new character instead of taking an already established character

The inherent themes of Superman make a person of color a much more appropriate choice. The original character should have been "of color" to begin with. I have no issues with this at all.

I tried to chime in because I thought maybe RM had let some shit go and moved on. I was obviously wrong. But at the end of the day, despite my dos pennies, I'm totes Team LV here.

I guess i dont really care. It took me a bit to think about. From what I know of superman, he's beautiful looking midwestern white baby with dark hair and striking eyes, raised by Midwestern farmers.

But, i dont really care. Lets get some new blood. Ive been bored to tears with the last superman movies anyway

I liked Cavill as Superman. I wish he'd stuck around.

Cavill was one of the few things I genuinely liked about this latest Superman, yeah.

Counterpoint: watching people act like up is down and all the martians have landed because Superman might not be white in a movie is already more satisfying than any actual upcoming Superman movie will be.

no, to me it's the opposite.. caring enough to make him a different race.. it's like reverse racism... the character is white.. make a new character like Rangi said if you want him black

not really how? no it's just.. it's who the character is... i'm not racist... i just want them to be faithful to the material... unless they're gonna go changing all sorts of things about the story the character is a lame white dude.. that's who he is

stop you’re killing me

I truly don't care about this. But to think its progressive or fresh to have Jordan as a black superman just because its kinda weird.

But fuck it, put a black superman.

None of this matters at all because the movie is going to suck
