IrishDave Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 The problem I've got with that shot of Thor is that the outfits look like early-Batman rubber messes, not Viking armour. You know, like, metal and shit. Like... armour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Carbomb Posted July 18, 2010 Paid Members Share Posted July 18, 2010 i thought luke cage was around before jon stewart. Â Yeah alright, you don't have to rub it in. That Wiki article put up above mentioned a load of guys preceding Stewart. I'm almost certain I read it on Wiki that Stewart was the first black superhero, but obviously I must have read it somewhere else. Â He was one of the first black superheroes not to be called "Black [something]", though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpiralTap Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 Speaking of portrayal of black comic book peeps; was anyone bothered about there being a black Kingpin in Daredevil? MCD is an awesome actor and all that and I know it ment alot to him to play that role but I couldnt have been the only one to say "Hang on a sec, somethings not right here".

SpiralTap Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 Didnt bother me at all. Â Dont get me wrong, I love the guy and really liked his portrayal of the Kingpin. Â This was just an example of someone who looks nothing like the character they are based on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
