No what i just pulled was the "Im black and clearly not a hater of my own race so take ur pretentious and hypocritical political correctness regarding racism and shove it up ur ass" card 🙂
Seriously the effrontery of some people is bewildering. I dont want to see a black spiderman because........spiderman in the comics isnt freakin black, he is white. Thats how he has been throughout his history and how he will remain. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that. Attempting to deliberately change his race in order to "accomodate" the minority is not a sign of racial acceptance. It instead just elevates the issue of race to a position it never previously held.
Ive seen u make retarded comments on the issues of comics in general but for u to come at me with ur nonsense regarding racism is a new low even for ur dumbass.....And i didnt think that was even possible facepalm

Totally against this black spiderman idea. IMO it would look extremely forced and an obvious attempt at political correctness. In the case of a character as major as spiderman, Id prefer the movies to reflect the characters actual history as much as possible which includes his race/ethnicity.
I agree. It's not racist to want to stick to the character's ethnic background. Making Spider-Man black just for the sake to have a mainstream hero be made black doesn't do anything for race relations. Peter Parker was a white kid growing up in Queens. That's who he is, was, and odds are, always will be in comics. I'm comfortable enough in my own racial background that I can enjoy comics without going "Hey, I want to see more black/biracial characters," or griping because Superman or whoever isn't black.

Just shut it before u make an even bigger fool of urself. Race sensitive my ass. Ur the mentally impaired person that stated i was being racist by NOT wanting a black spiderman. I stated i didnt want one because it would look unnatural. Now ur trying to project ur own pretentious ideas onto me? LMFAO. Moreover if they cast a black spiderman in order to make money.....by attracting more of the black community then it IS an attempt to accomodate the minority which brings the whole issue of race to the forefront........sigh, were u born with this level of idiocy or did u pick it up as u grew older? Wanting a company to stick with the portrayal of a major character is not a racial issue, it has to do with the desire for them to respect that characters history. I dont want marvel experimenting on the character, i want the movie to be an accurate reflection of comic spiderman nothing more.
Please try confining ur displays of ignorance to the realm of comics and away from more serious matters. 🙂

Exactly. the fact that a comic character is black or white is irrelevant to my enjoyment of the comic. Hence for major characters regardless of his or her ethnic background id still prefer to see the movie remain true to the comic in that area in the exact same way id want the movie to remain true to the comic in regards to his other attributes. To call that racist is absolutely laughable and idiotic...though after witnessing the mental abilities of the person in question, it is also unsurprising.heh

dude seriously claim down. you don't mind a black spider-man and that's kool but we do. not because of the actor being black but because peter parker is not black. if you go and start changing things about a character then why not just make something else entirely.
take the new Friday the 13th.....it was a horrible interpretation of the originals. in fact it was so different they should have just called the movie something else and been done with it.
so honestly man making this big of a change is not a problem do to racism it's a problem because spider-man wasn't created black.
I think changing a comic books characters race only works sometimes, but for the most part its a bad idea. Nick fury already has an established black counterpart in the ultimate universe so it was no problem for samuel jackson to take the role. I also think Michael Clarke Duncan was a pretty good choice in daredevil despite how bad the movie was. Spiderman, however is not a good choice to start dabbling with race. I reserve judgement on idris elba playing heimdall since its not like he has such an elaborate history anyway.
first, to say "they're making spider-man black" seems a bit of an extension. so far as i've seen, they've yet to decide who to cast, and all this is revolving around one comment by some exec.
second, does it really matter? really? how often is a point made about spider-man being distinctly white? is his ethnicity brought up throughout the comic as a point of interest about the character at all? i vaguely remember maybe one self-referential joke he makes about being a white kid from queens. i, as a fan, just don't see it as a defining part of his character; at least insofar as to exclude qualified actors from portraying him.
i understand the argument for wanting to keep the movies reflective of the comics. but this isn't going to be an iron man or an incredible hulk reboot. as far as i know sony still has the rights to spider-man, so they're gonna butcher it just like they and fox have butchered their hero movies in the past. if a better, black actor can give a better performance than a lesser, white actor, i could care less that he's black. it's not such a critical part of the character that it would upset me more than another all-around weak spider-movie.
What if i told you that tomorrow, DC will announce that when Bruce Wayne returns, he will be a black man? Being a white male isn't a defining part of Batman's mytho, but it is a consistent, never changing, element in his story throughout the characters history... changing that aspect, drastically changes the character.
