Because they interviewed all the white actors and decided they sucked. I mean, that's actually what happened and started the whole Daniel Glover thing.

Maybe He-Man should be black as well! since skin color has nothing to do with his character and Tony Cox should have be Wolverine. Lets re-write history.

"A royal guardsman with a gigantic clamp as his primary weapon."

There's a real winner for you.

I can't think of any popular ones. I am sure there are comic heroes in German comics, but I don't read those...and neither does anyone else as far as I know. Perhaps there are some third rate German heroes in US Comics...the only one I can think of is Nightcrawler, though, and he's blue.

Nah, a black wolvie would make sense. There were plenty of black folks living in Canada just after the American Civil War.

statements like that don't help anyone.

most germans tend to be villains, sadly.

We've got Captain Nazi, good role model for the kids.

i'm not the one making broad, sweeping statements that are designed to annoy rather than actually be constructive.

If they character is portrayed correctly, ie a nerdy guy who's awkward around people, it could work, considering the black actor is a good at his job, acting.

Now if they try and ethnithize (made it up) it and have the guy saying shit like "dat", "we be", "aight" and "holla', it will be an insult to the character and it will be shit.
