It's Professor X
Not Professor Malcolm X
>giancarlo esposito
Is he black?
¡Sí señor!
He's half Italian so yes
he's the most pale white cracker if I've ever seen one
He's black-passing which is more than enough for them since they have no culture outside skin color.
I've always found it funny that he identifies as Italian instead of black. I guess the memes are true.
He looks caribbean.
Professor Ese
Why not both?
You don't read many comics.
Actually if *you* read the comics you'd know they're supposed to be exact opposites. The specific analogy made is "Xavier is Martin Luther King. Jr. while Magneto is Malcolm X."
I think it's a shitty comparison to begin with for a number of reasons, but it's still exactly why he literally can't be both.
>You don't read many comics
um... yes? Are you trying to be smug about reading children's books?
You can thank Chris Claremont for locking X-Men to real-world politics
>Not Professor Malcolm X
Honestly? If it was, I might actually watch it.
Dem cracka humans be oppressin us and sheet
holy cringe
LMAO, capeshitters are on suicide watch
just cast him as norman osborn the explanation why hes brown are because the character is greek descent in mcu
ohh, i knew this one was coming the moment marvel acquired the x-men rights. i was thinking ‘wait, the x-men are too white for them… they’re going to raceswap people aren’t they?”
>are they going to make a political statement out of the people who are supposed to be a stand in for gay people
It's going to be called x-folks and every fucking one of them are going to be a fat gay moron from outerspace
You guys are retarded. PatStew looks like a mummy now, no way anyone is gonna be hiring him on for some kind of franchise shit that's supposed to go for another decade.
Okay? What does this have to do with not hiring someone WHO LOOKS LIKE THE FUCKING COMICS YOU DISINGENUOUS gay.
Is Patrick Stewart the last white male actor alive all of a sudden?
Also - raceswapping Professor X specifically is *retarded* because they can easily get their Diversity Points by simply casting an actual fucking cripple to play the cripple character, without pissing off a single fan.
realistically i don't give a shit if they made magneto a nog because it would be less convoluted to make his origin story related to civil rights or the klan or something, but hollywood garden gnomes would never let that fly, so magneto will be some geriatric garden gnome while professor x will be telling apocalypse that he wuz kangs or some shit
>Imagine being so obsessed with race
They are literally fictional characters. The race doesnt matter
Then why every time the reverse happens are people screaming "whitewash" all the fuck over the place? What about the Avatar movie? Even though it took place in another world with no Earth races, even though it was directed by an Indian guy everyone screamed "whitewash". What about The Last Samurai? Even though Cruise wasn't "the" last samurai, his presence was enough to get people screaming whitewash. What about Ghost in the Shell?
If race didn't matter it would work both ways, but you always say it's fine so long as it's white characters being erased.
>What about The Last Samurai?
Funny part is that is based on a true event, though the character was French and not American in the real events
Not that anon, but both sides are just as retarded and bad. I miss the days when people had fun and weren't constantly looking for shit to get pissed off about. It's like the world is in some giant weird codependent relationship with both sides feeding off each other.
One side is obviously manufacturing a large part of this
>muh both sides!!!
can you wake the fuck up already.
>race doesn't matter
>intentionally raceswap characters
What did she mean by this?
Imagine going from Patrick Stewart to this. Movies will be so fucking soulless in the future
im tha juggernaut, bitch!
they’re never going to give us an actual gyppo Doom are they
the one minority they refuse to pander to
Sounds legit. Doctor Freeze is DC
he is too old for doom, which is probably the best one for him
cant be magneto because the garden gnomes will not allow it.
he is proffesor x.
Doctor Doom never has to take his mask off, it's fine to cast a Black since you won't see him
But you’ll still know.
I never watched breaking bad so I wouldn't recognize the voice
You see his black soulless eyes behind the mask.
>black soulless eyes
Uhhh? I'm 90% sure Esposito isn't Asian
Surely there'll be an origin story of him and you'll see him as a regular human.
If not, then he could fit the role perfectly.
It's Marvel, there's no way he wears his mask that much, he will be maskless in 95% of his appearances. How else will they let you know what famous actor they paid 10s of millions for?
>never takes his mask off
like Master Chief, and Boba Fett?
could work as long as they use a different actor for the body and Esposito just for the voice like Darth Vader, otherwise Dr. Doom would just be a lame brown manlet
>we need someone for the operatic Balkan dictator who's in peak human condition and is always one moment away from a schizo breakdown
>I know!
>let's get this geriatric Amerimoron who always speaks in monotone!
What the FUCK is wrong with these people?!
This boring moron ruined BCS. should’ve stayed in reddit bad where he belonged, now my lawyer kino is gone too
>we need a compassionate headmaster all the students adore
>I know just the guy
He's not exactly known for playing good guys
Just finished watching all the XMen movies today ironically, won’t be supporting more raceswapped pandering bullshit
>Just finished watching all the XMen movies today
why would you do that
t. only watched spiderman1
it was enough capeshit for a lifetime
Magneto and Doctor Doom are definitely out of a picture for any non-white actor. Magneto is gnomish and Doom is eastern european. Prof X is a fine choice, especially since previous actor is a senile old man, also muties are basically every minority ever so that checks out
Who the hell is Doctor freeze?
Mexican Professor X? No, sorry. He’s a bald crippled white guy and that’s not changing
Why not? ProfX is a senile old man who is not defined by his nationality or race but by making muties into superheroes. Hell, i wouldn't blame Marvel for making ProfX woman or black or whatever
Xavier is old money. If he wasn't richer than God he couldn't fund all the X-stuff.
isn't almost the entire point of professor x that he is a 'privileged white man'? like, he advocates for peace and non violence because he's rich, doesn't look weird, and hasn't had to experience the oppression other mutants have had (especially in contrast to magneto, the holocaust survivor)? this is just to say that i think if modern films are gonna go the way of saying that white people have an inherently privileged perspective, raceswapping prof x would be a mistake because he's literally the only character I can think of where making playing the privilege bit actually improves his character
Well, i admit, you have a point
>doesn't look weird
Hairlet cope.
Magneto being a white male makes him a rather ridiculous figure.
"I fight for the oppressed!" Says the white alpha male who looks like the guys doing most of the oppressing.
The entire 'oppression' angle of the X-Men is lame bullshit.
>You cannot fight bad guy if you same color as bad guy! that make no cent!
Over the years X-Men has been written to represent different shit. When they first made it, it was a blatant rip-off of DC's Doom Patrol, with the angle being "a team of heroes hated and despised by the public they fight to protect." Stan Lee came up with the mutant angle just so he wouldn't have to come up with origins for them. From there, they're all reverse-engineered from other popular Marvel characters. Ice Man was the reverse of Human Torch, Angel the reverse of Daredevil, Beast was subverting the trope of the "dumb strong guy" by having him also be the team's genius scientist. Cyclops was a brilliant tactician and leader who had no self-confidence.
This was right before the Civil Rights movement, so it came to be a stand-in for racism. Magneto's story was altered to be that he was a garden gnome who survived the Holocaust, so it became about that. Genosha made it about slavery and genocide. The Legacy Virus was a blatant allegory for AIDS. Bryan Singer was a gay, so he made all of the movies exclusively about gays with lots of lines like "Mutant pride!" "mutant power!" "Have you ever tried just not being a mutant?"
Grant Morrison said he felt it was about generations, mutants being the young and humans being the older generation afraid of them.
Utopia made it a strained analogy for Israel, for a while they were compared to Muslims in that they all had to answer for the "violent minority" that tends to kill people and blow themselves up.
But the truth is, mutants are a perfect modern analogy to whites in the west. Think about it. They're blamed for shit other mutants did years before they were born, their powers are seen as an unfair advantage, a "privilege" which must be restrained. The government wants to forcibly register and control them. With the House of M storyline there was even a push for their global genetic extinction by the other races.
>Have you ever tried just not being a mutant?
How dare you remind me of that god awful scene.
I don’t think it’s a bad scene
>Angel the reverse of Daredevil
what? I don't see the parallel...or in this case the perpendicularity? what's the reverse of parallel? What I mean is that I don't see Warren polar opposition to Matt
In real terms, no. It's surface level. Like I mean Human Torch and Ice Man had very similar personalities back then, being that they were both young, irresponsible rascals with an insane amount of power held back only by their immaturity. The difference is just them having exact opposite powers.
Daredevil and Angel don't have much in common -or opposite- in their personalities, it's just "one calls himself a devil, the other angel and has wings."
>it's just "one calls himself a devil, the other angel and has wings."
holy shit, I didn't stop thinking about that. My bad, I'm pretty dense today
ahhh, the rare double Jannetty
Really good breakdown. I've always thought the oppression angle of Xmen was retarded and could only work if they were separate from the rest of the marvel universe that loved heroes.
Dumb analysis made by a schizo
>They're blamed for shit other mutants did years before
They're feared because literally any potential mutant could awaken an ability that would immediately kill everyone surrounding them. That's a legitimate clause for fear
A more reliable analogy would be whites randomly deciding to shoot their schools, black churches or Walmarts
But anon, it's exactly the same. Mutants don't commit crime at a higher rate, there are more non-mutant powered people committing crimes than mutants. Yes, Magneto did some fucked up shit, but how is some random morlock with a shitty power like shapeshifting into a garbage can or growing long nails remotely comparable or responsible?
There are various classifications of mutants, you have your Omega-level, like Phoenix and Iceman who could very easily end the world with their powers, but most of the well-known ones are Alpha-level, like Cyclops, Wolverine, Colossus. They have high-level, useful powers but aren't likely to destroy the Earth on a whim.
But the vast majority of mutants are Beta-level or lower. There are mutants whose only mutation is scales or an odd skin color. Glob Herman is just a skeleton suspended in a big mass of wax. Your post actually proved the very point you were attacking. Attacking mutants because 1% of them could end the Earth makes as much sense as attacking whites because Hitler existed, while ignoring the atrocities of Mao and despots of every other race. It's like blaming modern whites for slavery when it was whites that ended slavery to begin with and only 1% of them were slave owners.
Well people are afraid of whites because they can do a lot more damage when they go wild.
>retarded DCfag posting literal reddit opinions
DP debuted in June, XM in September. You think comics get scripted, drawn and drafted, with enough issues in advance to come out monthly, in 2 months time? Christ... OG X-Men were created because Lee was too bored to create new backstories and
>lmao his/her genes gives them powers
was easy to throw in. The "allegory" was never there. They were literally stand-ins for losers that were reading every other capeshit. The only real-world inspiration was the Atomic Age. You know, the actual tagline?
>THE CHILDREN OF THE ATOM
Race bullshit never existed until Claremont. Magneto was literally Mutie Hitler. Christ you people are retarded gays and I hate your guts.
In those days it happened between the two companies all the damn time. DC had Swamp Thing, Marvel had Man Thing. DC had Aquaman, Marvel had Namor. DC had Plastic Man and the Elongated Man, Marvel had Mr. Fantastic.
DC had Lobo, Marvel had Lunatik. DC had Batman "the dark knight" and Marvel had Moon Knight. Sometimes it worked the other way too, DC's Loose Cannon was marketed as "mood ring Hulk". Marvel's Malibu imprint ripped off Superman with Supreme and Swamp Thing a second time with Sludge.
Sentry started as a blatant Superman rip-off, he originally premiered in Marvel Zombies as a caped superhero who brought the plague to Earth, they made his costume yellow to avoid getting sued and then made an actual comic about him. Marvel's Black Cat is DC's Catwoman in all but name.
And let's not forget that Liefeld blatantly ripped of Slade Wilson/Deathstroke when he created Wade Wilson/Deadpool.
Oop, brain fart. The Malibu character wasn't Supreme, it was Prime.
But most of those have a few years in betwee. Namor appeared 4-5 years before Aquaman.
But Doom Patrol and X-Men literally appeared 1 month a part, there's no way one is a copy of the other because there's no time to make an entire line with characters and plots in one month, in this case is just a coincidence
What was the turn around between Ruri dragon and the Roboco chapter about it? sure he would have known in advance it was happening but they couldn't have known it was so well received to justify dedicating a chapter to how well received it was
>more comparisons from Cracked
No shit genius. But your info is surface level. Dadpool was literally edgy Spider-Man. The Deathstroke bit was added as an in-joke years later when they revealed his name. Deathstroke was the actual rip-off of Taskmaster and Captain America. Swamp Thing came a few months after Man-Thing, but same as with DP & XM, probably one of those things that happens with two different identical projects coming out at the same time. Namor debuted well before Aquaman. All the Superman expies are deliberate homages, not rip-offs. They're flying bricks for crying out loud. Everything's called a "Superman rip-off" because Superman was the first amalgam rip-off. He was literally Hercules and Samson but acting as the self-insert of two garden gnomes. Hyperion, Sentry, all those guys are deliberate homages. What, you're gonna bring up Hulk and Solomon Grundy next? Grundy was inspired by Frankenstein and Hulk was literally Jekyll & Hyde turned into a superhero. That's how comics worked back then, they took influences from the real world and literature. Tony Stark was Howard Hughes but as a super-hero.
God, I hate all this half-baked disinfo from "nerd sites".
Keep ruining capeshit PLEASE. Thank you.
are hollywood garden gnome gays so lazy these days they just copy+paste Gus Fring into everything? he plays the same character in the boys, far cry, The Mandalorian etc.
With the way he’s standing in that image holding the board, he reminds me of Psycho-Man (picture in this post of said/aforementioned character); maybe he could play him?
He embraced the type-casting i guess.
Progresser Fring
Professor LatinX
>Doctor Freeze
lmfao almost had me there for a second
Das rite whitbois, Captain Picard is a kang now.
>c-can I play a good character for once please?
>Doctor Freeze
>Marvel
Why anybdy would believe normies on twitter?
>Baboon Von Doom
Giancarlo as Professor X.
Lance Reddick as Magneto.
>Sabretooth, my office, now!!
Magneto as survivor of Rwandan genocide, using his power to steal machetes from the Hutus and chop them all up. Would be kino.
please do this, gawd it would be so great for marvel to have a black professor x :^)
>Doctor Freeze
What the fuck? There is no Dr Freeze. That makes no sense.
There's a Mr. Freeze, but that's a DC Batman character.
Only if he is ready to clean save his dead and not talking about being black.
The FOL-X
Presenting:
Oppression X with his mental powers and his students:
Fuckdcops: leader of the team and also member of antifa and with the power of open a portal to the punch a nazi dimension through his eyes
Marvel they/them: telekinetic prodigy and couple of Fuckdcops
Yeast: The brain of the team and body possitive fol-x, don't be scare by xir pustules in between fat folds
Ice-man: Defeating the fascist imigration police with his cold related powers
I'm bad at this, someone with more IQ take up my mantle
>Ice-man and not Ice-they/them or Ice-xir
you didn't even stick to your own rules
I wasn't trying to make all of them gender fluir or whatever that disease is called
>Oppression X
>Fuckdcops
The only good ones. Yeast is overthinking
>Gayngel, born with the power of being gay (and also flight but that's less important)
>Wolverqueen, former drag queen with adamantium fingernails and the ability to heal from any anal insertion
>Nigcrawler, a Romanian man who turned black when his mutant gene activated and who now has the ability to teleport into people's homes to steal their belongings
>replace ICE-Man with Ice-Non-Binary-Two-Spirit-Multiple-System or just Ass-Man if you're feeling lazy
i already accepted that either Cyclops, Wolverine, Gambit or Professor X would be black. Beast, Nightcrawler, and Iceman are all off the table since they spend most of their time being blue anyway. i'm just crossing my fingers it isn't Logan. that would hurt. i need Logan, Wade, and Peter to stay white for the sake of their team-up movie.
>Storm, Bishop, Cloak, Monet, Prodigy, Cecilia Reyes, etc exist
>"Yeah, we should make one of the white ones black"
Fuck this shit, X-men second group was already diverse as fuck, they have a Native American, a German, an Egyptian, a Rusky, a Canadian, a Japanese dude, etc fuck this shit
do you notice how i named a bunch of the recognizable male x-men, and you named Storm and a bunch of bros i've never heard of? that's why someone is getting raceswapped. people want Black Gambit, they don't want Gambit written outta the movie so Cloak or Bishop can have a bigger spot on the team. i don't like it anymore than you do, but this is the state of things.
>Never heard of Bishop
what? really? have you only watched the movies? is that your only conection to X-men? dude is amazing and it's very sad it was never (?) used in the movies
i don't even remember watching the movies anymore. i think all of my X-Men knowledge comes from X-Men Evolution, the movie Logan, reading House of M, and just hearing/seeing shit here and there in other Marvel shows/books/movies/games.
>X-Men Evolution
So Spyke is also not an option for you?
Man, Marvel has TONS of minority characters but when it comes to the movies they NEVER use them bar 1 or 2, the just always go with raceswapping
... i did genuinely memory hole that character until you brought him up, yeah. but Spyke was cool, that's a good callback. i should rewatch Evolution.
i feel you though. it's like they wanna raceswap the most famous characters instead of trying to write stories that will make their pre-existing characters of color more popular. the black kid on the playground wants to be Cyclops, so instead of writing a great role for Bishop or Spyke so the kid can look up to them, they just make Cyclops black.
>they have a Native American, a German, an Egyptian, a Rusky, a Canadian, a Japanese dude
It's funny this nowadays is seen as very low or none existing in the diversity scale
>an Egyptian
>a Native American
>a Japanese man
>... and three white guys
i guess that's sort of diverse.
He would have been an awesome Doctor Freeze in non woke in Zaslav Warner movie
It's Mr. He was never a doctor, and he's huh-WHITE.
His full name is literally Dr Victor Fries he was always a doctor
Does it matter if Mr Freeze is black?
yes because it's cucked and bluepilled cultural marxism pozzing my based and redpilled superhero movies
What if Esposito had his face painted White?
with cum?
Is not enought that the character was created originally white and his backgroud is from an European country?
This is like asking why Blade should be black or why Shang Chi should be Asian
I mean, sure have a white Blade. I don't think race matters to every character.
i always thought White Panther was a hilarious concept for a movie until someone pointed out that that's just The Joker.
>White Panther
Already exists, he's T'Challa's adopted white brother.
bro you know ain't nobody call Mr. Freeze "Doctor Freeze", get the fuck outta here. do you know what killed the dinosaurs motherfucker? lmfaoo
Let's think of some characters it would actually make sense for him to play, either because they have no race or their race is distinctly similar to his.
How about Tombstone? He's ethnically black but an albino. It's a brutal, intelligent crime boss.
But Tombstone is super tall and looks strong
Yeah, but there's some flexibility there. In the last video game they made him fat and bald, which IMO was really stupid because it just made him look like a black knock-off of Kingpin.
But he's a decent villain, and it would be good casting. Just use wardrobe to make him look a bit bigger, give him some sharp-looking but not over the top teeth, and let him play the brutal crimelord he's so good at. He works as a villain for Daredevil, Spider-Man, Punisher and Luke Cage. Punisher in particular because he's so hard to kill.
I'm racist as all hell but Gus would make a bussin dr doom frfr
If they go the OT Vader route, 100%. Just use his voice but always have the dude under the mask, we know he's slavic/roma but the dude can be played by him because viewers will never see him without the mask/armor
Doom needs a european accent though. Doesn't need to be authentically slavic, just enough to fool americans. Someone like mads mikkelsen or javier bardem would do a good job.
>needs a european accent though
Confirmed for not understand Doom
Doom is a perfectionist, everything he does he must do it perfectly, he knows countless languages and he speaks perfectly.
Honestly if I have to pick one of these I can see him as Freeze the best. I can't really think of a suitable role for an older dark skinned man though.
We're armored against this and jaded beyond measure but really this is the reason blacks should play whites. The only reason. If they just always loved the character and maybe idolized them as children or whatever. It's sad we can't do this anymore because the motive is always suspect. Back in the day you could cast Colm Feore as Dick Hallorann and no one said boo because there wasn't some gnomish pig fucker agenda driving it. Just a guy who wanted to be part of something he wasn't born into. Now we have some downy who wants to be Elrond and we're going to have Lucy Liu as Morgoth.
He has some kind of on screen aura.
I think T would be fine with im playing Prof X or Magneto.
can non-whites even play good guys?
https://comicvine.gamespot.com/profile/ryonslaught/lists/black-superheroes-world-of-black-heroes/11628/
Here's over a thousand black comic book characters he could have played.
>Magneto
Pretty sure this dude won't be convincing as a gnomish concentration camp survivor
it's 2024 in the mcu, that back story doesn't work anymore unless you want a senile magneto
You know Magneto has been deaged several times right? sometimes done by one of his culty followers, others by technology. Fck for a while in the 90s he had the body of a 20-30 year old beef cake dude. Same with Xavier
They already pretended all the characters who were supposed to be in their 40's and 50's by 20 and 30 year olds in the last few xmen movies. Just keep doing it since no one seems to care.
This guy looks the a black doreen wojak
I can't watch anything he's in because he's just so ugly it bothers me. And whatever the hell that haircut is isn't helping.
magneto has a garden gnome holocaust background. not even raceswapping garden gnomes would do that.
Professor Javier
>I want a school to train gifted youngsters.
>You want an army to conquer humanity.
>We are not the same, Magnus.
Xavier calling Magneto Magnus feels so wrong, I'm way too used to Eric
The Dentist as the final boss of the MCU and the Payday gang being the heroes confirmed?
"To me my X-Them"
jesus christ when will it end, when will ut fucking end
It was Victoria Alonso who said that, she is now positioned to take over from Feige, all the most over the top woke crap that has been pushed in phase 4 was her doing.
Turns out her Mom was a high ranking offical for the brutal Ministry of Education during the Agentinian Military dictatorship.
Really makes you ponder.
It's actually Fol-X
>I DONT CARE IF THEY WANT TO RACESWAP ALL OF MY FAVOURITE CHARACTERS AND THEN CRY ABOUT IT IF ITS DONE TO THEIRS! I DONT CARE THAT THEY WANT TO DESTROY EVERYTHING! I DONT CARE THAT THEY WANT TO GENOCIDE ME!!!! WHO CARES IF PROFESSOR X IS A BLACK MEXICAN! Who cares If BatmanIs a black woman!!”
Can you people fucking die already.
haha
doom is a gyppo
there are no gypsie actors so he should be cast as an indian because gypsies are from india
>magneto
>black
yes please. holocaust survivor should be black
I don't want him as professor X because he can play threatening too well and X is just soft
Doctor DOom is my favorite fucking marvel character and I can see him being a good doom but not wanting to because of the 100% mask time.
