Who's we?
shareLatinos
sharehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Latino_superheroes
shareOk but all those heroes never achieved the fame that Batman and Blade achieved.
shareBut but, you guys got Bat Hombre, that's gotta account for something.
There is Hawkgirl, Green Lantern, Bane, Shazam, Wonder Woman even though some of them were only in one issue.
OK....So?
What exactly do you expect?
A hero on par with the ones I listed.
shareNo one is stopping you to create one...
shareit's a dumb EQUALITY thing. like how idiots expect the WNBA to be paid the same as NBA, when absolutely nobody gives a shit about WNBA - THUS, brings in very low money.
OPPORTUNITY exists - like what you side, "no one is stopping" them
Equal OUTCOME is the expected insanity
Guess you never heard of the definition of hypothetically speaking.
shareYou enjoying the WNBA? :)
shareDon't watch it so nope.
shareNo one does. Thus, they don't deserse equal pay. Which is my point. The opportunity is there and open, but the outcome is never guarenteed.
PERSONALLY, I'm sick of and burnt out on all these white super heros - I'm white - that said, they were created by whites, casting white - exactly the same as black productions casting blacks and I SEE NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT.
Make whatever film for your whatever group! I wish you teh best of luck. just don't EXPECT equal turn out. Almost nothing on Earth is "Equal"
Fair enough I respect your points.
I grew up in the 80's so I'm used to seeing white superheroes. I really don't have a problem race wise and my original post was kind of meant as a joke.
I agree though I don't care what color the superhero is ether as long as it's original and not a race swapped one and the hero is of good quality.
No, equality means everyone has an opportunity to create one. What this is is equity, expectation that whether you perform or not the results would be equal for all.
share^this comment should have ended this thread.
shareOk but neither did Blue Beetle?

Which one of the few things that I like about my culture. We haven’t become corrupted by the woke.
shareIf by “we” you mean Hispanics, there’s Zorro, a Spanish-Californian masked vigilante who was one of the main influences behind Batman.
There’s also El Santo, the wrestling character who made a bunch of movies in the 50s and 60s.
I think one of the new versions of Spider-Man, Miles Morales, is Hispanic too.
I’m sure there’s more.
Don't forget El Barto!
shareZoro is an old hero though and is not as cool as the other superheroes.
Edit: Even though he’s technically a villain we have Bane as well, who is actually my favorite villain.
Bane, who's most famous portrayal in media is by.... Tom Hardy. 🤦🏽♂️
shareIt's okay, Hardy identified as Hispanic for the duration of filming.
shareI think Ben Affleck identifies as Hispanic now too lol...or Hispanic-adjacent, so his batman kind of counts too??

Zorro may be an "old" hero, but he still counts!
shareZorro started it all.
shareZorro is definitely the OG.
shareReally? That is all you can come up with for Black superheroes? How about Sam Wilson/Falcon? Ororo Munroe/Storm? Bishop?
For further edification: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_black_superheroes
Because they are my favorite superheroes which was the point of why I made this post.
shareOh, and you expect white people to give them to you? Lol.
shareWhy so triggered?
shareFrom my side it looks like you are triggered ...
shareWell you’re on the wrong side then.
shareDude, is NOT me the one that's triggered and complains and whines that his culture is null and doesn't have superheroes so the white people have to GIVE you some ...
shareExcept the dude that directed it is Latino so yeah. And unless you're the one that made the superhero you can STFU instead of trying to take credit for someone else's creation.
shareThey're so dumb they don't realize this is an indictment of their total lack of culture.
shareGuess you should get on that, instead of relying on whites to do it.
shareExcept on not relying on whites to do it, dipshit.
shareThen quit whining about your total lack of culture. It's literally telling how little impact your heritage has on society, when the only notable things are worshipping ghosts and death like evil soulless monsters or drugs.
shareCalls me a whiner, yet whine’s with a lecture about culture.
