I get they like to add some variety to the casting, usually with secondary characters since majority the characters upon conception were white. I don't blame the comic creators for it, as they were working with what was acceptable, as over time more and more characters have been given more diverse backgrounds.

But on the same token how come being white isn't considered a defining trait? It reminds me of This. Why is being white always considered blank slate characters that we can easily interchange and somehow the character remains the same, but if we change say Luke Cage into a white guy it's a problem?

I think with in my own life my ethic background has contributed to who I am, as if I was born hispanic would probably radically changed my experience growing up an heavily hispanic neighborhood. Whether I was taller I might be it might changed my life. If I was really fat it might have radically altered my life. So many variables to just say taking a character and flip flopping their race is unimportant is a gross over generalization. It's not that cut and dry.

My thoughts are if you really wanted to make a alter version of a character with simliar powers, Why not create a brand new character? Say if you wanted to character a black superman, we saw this a bit with Hancock.(which during the middle of the movie when he saves the bank he really came across as a bonefid super hero, as he was damn heroic. Something I could have really got behind.) In the case of we didn't see them beat us over the head with the fact Will Smith is black all film. It was an aspect of his character, but he was still a 3 dimensional character not a sterotype to the end. It suffered from some hang ups from a disjointed story but it had nothing to do with race.

I can understand people wanting to see more diverse characters, as my heart went out to the obituaries when I read the article about Perry Moore, producer of chronicles of Naria, and author of the book hero about a gay super hero. He expressed frustration with watching most gay characters always being secondary characters and often suffering from girl in the fridge effect. I think everyone should have a character they can identify with too, and not feel like who they are can never be the hero of a story. That they are destined to always be saved, trampled and over all insignifigant to world unless the white male lead does it first. There's definitely room for improvement but toss to a few hand out secondary characters to minorities isn't exactly the right answer. There needs be something geniuely compelling to the character on it's own to appeal to a wider audience.

It's a tough postion as some change is probably in order to diversify things to get everyone into the story. It's a hard call as you don't want to tick off anyone but not everyone is going to be happy with whatever you do. Why going with original compelling characters is probably the best solution.

Heh amusing episode, though I'm surprised more people aren't swooning over her friend in the lab coat. Nella, dark or otherwise not so much.

"Stop...or there will ..be ...trouble!"

I think I was in 2nd or 3rd grade when it came out. I didn't see it till was on TV as an edited version. I enjoyed the heck of it none the less. (My dad watched all fun stuff with me, Aliens, Predator, Terminator and Robocop with me...TV edited but he still let me watch it.) I'm ok with them rebooting it. It might be fun too.

Bring the Thunder! I was going see this no matter what, but it just reinforces it. I was sold months ago anyways.

So we're assured there will be 4 deaths for the next year? That's probably lower than usual amount to be honest heh. May be since they'll be planning for them they'll have better written ones than all pure shock value....or all shock value like usual. (which how little there is given character come back as quickly as if they were playing CoX. Oh you died...awaken...hospital run....self rez.) Now if it was every month than that would get silly fast, but quarterly, someone dies probably about that rate normally. (a Titan dies every cross over at DC.)

So is this really even worth mentioning or building up as to me it be more shocking if they didn't warn us it was coming and people go hey someone died every quarter after the fact. But that's me. It's not like people ever stay dead for long anyways.

Looks alright, but I just I can't help but be very reluctant to see any more xmen films especially since they'll likely reboot again if this one tanks and marvel reclaims it's IP. So avoiding it might be doing the property a favor in the long run.

Yeah i saw this awhile back. It's a cool idea even if it's not quite Stark armor levels of flight.

Lion-o Strife is it. (seriously he looks like a demi human version of Cloud.) The original show was really bad, so honestly anything can be an improvement. Especially the voice overs. I know if you were a kid during the 80s you watched these shows. You had to as it was part of the block of stuff you could watch after school and that was it as you went off to do your chores and homework before the nonstop onslaught of kids shows on cable 24/7.

Thunder cats is something best left in your memories. Your nostalgia is right where it belongs. I caught an episode a few years ago when one of my roommates flipped it on when either Cartoon Network or Boomerang was running it. Some cartoons hold up well enough to be mildly entertaining such as transformers or Centurions after all these years. Not Thunder Cats. Oh it aged about as well as Michael Jackson. We were just laughing at it between the silly writing(even by kid show standards. It was really weird at times.) and stuttering voice overs. Like the janitorial staff did it. Which they did a land-sea air trinity with Silverhawks, and Tiger Sharks(this one obviously sucked the hardest as it lasted the least time of the 3.) reusing the majority of the same actors and these shows were even worse than Thunder Cats for most part.

I probably will check it out just for sake of seeing it as I usually watch cartoons online after a bunch of them get out there. If it's worth watching I'll show my sisters kids and watch it with them. Otherwise Ill dump it into the same bin I left the original in my brain and most of what i learned grade school.
