She can come be My wonder woman anytime!Michelle Rodriguez on that white superhero thing - CNN.com
(CNN)Actress Michelle Rodriguez challenged racial minorities in Hollywood to "develop their own mythology" and tell their own stories instead of recasting traditionally white characters as different races.
"It's not about taking Catwoman or Superman or Green Lantern or whatever these characters are and trying to make them fit to whatever cultural background you are," the "Fast and Furious" star said in a video posted on Facebook on Saturday.
"I think that people should stop being lazy and that people should make an effort in Hollywood to develop their own mythology."
Within 24 hours its posting on Saturday, the video had been viewed nearly 2 million times.
The comments come after Rodriguez was caught on camera Friday saying that minorities should stop "stealing ... white people's superheroes." Rodriguez, who identifies as Puerto Rican and Dominican, was walking to her car when TMZ asked her about rumors that she might be cast in the traditionally male role of superhero Green Lantern, last played by Ryan Reynolds.
She dismissed the rumor as "the dumbest thing I've ever heard." She followed it up with, "It's so stupid. It's like, 'Stop stealing all the white people's superheroes.' ... Make up your own. You know what I'm saying?"
God, I couldn't agree more. As a comic book fan, I rant on about this all the time. The last Captain America movie had the Falcon in it. Marvel is currently working on a Black Panther film. Blade was a very successful franchise. Is it necessary to make the Human Torch a black guy?
Is this thread really about a wetback crying over black super heroes?
Ahhh...I still don't want to hear a wetback complain...even if she is right.Is this thread really about a wetback crying over black super heroes?
Not black superheroes. White superheroes who are turned black, because the white men running the show are afraid they'll get a strongly worded letter from some special interest grouping crying about diversity.
What are you, a racist teaper or something???Ahhh...I still don't want to hear a wetback complain...even if she is right.Is this thread really about a wetback crying over black super heroes?

I've noticed it to be the standard MO of stifled lefties.All of his posts are rude, it's a common trait of the less intelligent.Why must you go rude? Can't you just disagree?I was mocking SJ.Do you actually believe any of those people involve sheet music in their song writing?Not specific enough. I need the sheet music to prove your point.Right. But it proves the point about whites lifting material from blacks. Little Richard successfully sued john Fogerty for plagiarizing Little Richard and turning it into Traveling Band even though Fogerty wrote it as a tribute to LR. Thanks for nothing, eh?
If the person who wrote the character made them white, black or Asian that's what they should be.That was her point and she is right.Hes a comic book character. He can be whatever color someone makes him.Why was it necessary to make him a white guy?Michelle Rodriguez on that white superhero thing - CNN.com

Um... because he is a white guy? That's like asking why it's necessary for you to be a black guy.
See? Something like this doesn't bother me.
Sam Wilson had been one of Captain America's closest allies since the 70's. It would only be natural for him to take over as Captain America. It doesn't seem forced.
Incorrect. Her point was to change the characters race for no other reason than being PC was not artistic. She instead is challenging Hollywood to come up with their own "ethnic" characters.If the person who wrote the character made them white, black or Asian that's what they should be.That was her point and she is right.Hes a comic book character.
