It's not that no one read the comic, it's that Priest did such a good job characterizing Malik as a prick that people don't care to see how he develops. It doesn't help that he's very much a prop in and out of universe. How is that not getting through to people?
>It's not that no one read the comic,
The first thread for this was full of people b***hing about things that were explained in the comic, but they didn't know because they hadn't read it

Well white 'allies' tend to like keeping black people down so they have someone to swoop in and save so they feel like heroes. Also leverage for their political agendas. I suppose the writer assumes the opposite is true.
>Being a smug prick
He does realize the patient can just ask for a different doctor?
And honestly saying all of this gives the guy a pretty solid case to sue the hospital, like how that one smug c**t on twitter got fired for joking that she'd give white male patients worse service.
He is not even a doctor.
Also yes he does stuff that can frick him over, it's normal for him. You would know if you read the book instead of assuming based on one page.
>Him torturing a dude from the first spot doesn't help his image
It's a dumb look, but at the same time, it's not like any reader should be saying >that poor neo-Nazi!
No but they should be thinking of how easily it could happen to them now that we've set a precedent for who doesn't get to have rights. It's easy to agree with it happening to people you don't like.
>now that we've set a precedent for who doesn't get to have rights
What rights? He's still being treated, isn't going to be given worse treatment, Malik isn't even an actual doctor yet, he's just shooting the shit. This scene just boils down to hurt feelings
>Him torturing a dude from the first spot doesn't help his image
It's a dumb look, but at the same time, it's not like any reader should be saying >that poor neo-Nazi!
Introducing a hero or anti hero character is an uphill battle if he leaves too much of a first impression as an butthole.
The Eric O'Grady Ant-Man didn't become liked until they embraced him as a full villain and teamed him up with Taskmaster.
except he isn't an anti-hero, he's a darkie so he's a full hero all the time and objectively in the right and good regardless of what he does, which is why he will fail to get over with the readers and the homosexual that writes him will throw a b***h fit about imaginary racists on twitter
Oh no, a character acts an butthole towards a racist nazi! I am offended! This is unacceptable! Especially when couple of pages later it's emphasized what an idiot he is!

You don't understand superheroes, anon. And I wouldn't be surprised if you were on DC's payroll.
Superheroes aren't meant to act petty or belligerent. They act like us at the best of times, always. That's why they're inspiring.
He isn't a superhero yet, mouth breathing moron. You're crying over a clear and deliberate character flaw that is with bright neon lights highlighted to be a negative trait.
Why? Ultimate Captain America and Ant-Man are judged by one out of context panel. This Black person gets an entire page not to be a subhuman monkey and fails.
i hate comics so fricking much, holy shit, i'm so happy that i spend my cash on the Dorohedoro collection the other day instead of this shit.
Frick this, i'm out.
The people who write this really don't grasp the fact that medical malpractice is the 3rd cause of unnatural death in the US, there are millions of people with horror stories about a loved one who was killed by a moron doctor, or the lucky ones who were able to just physically leave the hospital and get real medical help like one guy who got taken from a car wreck and intubated against his will
The worst thing about this is that instead of being respectful to help the racist think "Wow, maybe blacks arent so bad afterall. This guys a real professional!", he just smugly rubs it into the guys face with a shit eating grin. Hes only strengthening the guys hatred.
Genuine question: If you encountered a guy who not only hated you and everyone that looks like you but made that hatred an integral part of his identity, permanently marking himself, would you bend over backwards to make him like you or would you have a shit eating grin as you taunted him with the fact that you're the one saving his life?
If you're in the industry, you do not have a right to be selective of your patients. If I was a doctor and a filthy pedophile is on the operating table, as much as I would love for them to die, you need to man up and do what you can. Not berate him and being an absolute Black person
>you do not have a right to be selective of your patients
That's entirely irrelevant, the nazi is still getting treatment. All the black guy is doing is being a dicking about the fact and the irony that a supposed Aryan Ubermensch ends up needing medical help from who he perceives to be a incompetent subhuman, and as a cherry on top, it's all because the nazi is a drunk driving moron who wouldn't call a cab and instead totaled his car.

Anon, no offense, but you would make a terrible doctor.
Generally speaking if there's someone in your care with potentially serious head trauma the last thing you want to do is induce stress for no reason.
Like if a criminal with a tattoo that said "I love 8 year old pussy" was just shot by the police and is brought in for care and the first thing the doctor says when he comes in is "Whoa there mister pedophile, looks like you got into a little scrape with the cops! Don't worry though, I'm gonna take good care'a you, Lord knows there's already way too many pedophiles in hell!" most people would still find that entire scenario kinda fricking weird, even if they hate pedophiles.
Yes, the dude's bedside manner is atrocious, but more people seem to be unreasonably angry just because of the race stuff. Doesn't matter that he literally gets arrested a few panels down, or worse shit happens to the strawman nazi guy afterwards, people just don't want Black folk being uppity
Morally good person would not do it. Chaotic and Evil would. Would you torture a woke MCU snoyboy or a troony if you were the based doctor? Chads would help and try to improve them instead acting as their words would ever hurt them.
>would you bend over backwards to make him like you
No. You just be a normal, kind, human being who does their job in a proffesional manner. You dont have to try and make them like you, but showing just the littlest bit of kindness and warmth can sometimes win people over. Acting like a dick, and helping fuel the hatred helps nobody.
If I were a doctor I would do my job. I'd be really happy to hand him over to the police believe me, maybe even hope someone kills him in prison, but when he's in the hospital I do my job to save him so normal forces can deal with him.
Superheroes aren't meant to be normal, they're meant to be paragons. They do their jobs and hope for the best, always.
Malik should inspire everyone, including the racist patient, to be better people. He should driven by reason and principles, not by emotion.
Malik (being a young superhero) can still harbor doubts concerning whether or not bad people deserve redemption, but when he's not behind closed doors he should always do the right thing.
>Superheroes aren't meant to be normal, they're meant to be paragons. They do their jobs and hope for the best, always. >Superheroes are never flawed
Is this why they're always infighting? And why Tony Stark had to deal with being a raging alcoholic who apathetically sold weapons to the highest bidder? And why batman is incredibly violent, operates based on fear and is so paranoid he has plans to kill all of his friends?
Racism is a mind demon that can only be conquered by yourself. I tell people this all the time but you really can't change a racist's mind because usually they have a very rigid world view that has to be dismantled entirely and rebuilt if you want to actually help them, and at that point it's not worth the effort, nor are a majority of human beings capable of change like that.
Sadly the racist ultimately is the only one that can change their mind truly in the end for the better, but there's no harm in giving them the occasional empathic OUT in moderation, giving them none or just being as fricked up as them does like zero good and justifies why an asteroid should just kill us all.
>or just being as fricked up as them
I'm sorry but how could I do that? I don't hate or want to kill anyone for the inherent traits they were born with
Have you ever heard of black supremacists? I'm not talking about the guys that want to kill white people, these guys looked and white supremacists and legit asked them, "hey bros, how can we do that ourselves but black?"
If someone is genuinely racist, not some edgy internet racist doing it to fit in with their fellow edgy internet racists, the most they'll change is in a "you're one of the good ones" way. Like how someone can love their mom but still be sexist.
I mean yeah frick the nazi guy (i haven't read the comic) but this feels kinda TOO edgy to read. Like a victim kid is making fun of a suffering bully kid saying "nener nener nerner" just because the other kid was a peice a shit previously and it makes everyone involved look unhinged than sympathetic or "relatable." Just kill the mother fricker, prolonging suffering makes you worse than anyone else.
Honestly, considering how many super villains are to normal people you'd think doctors would just treat them poorly and if they die well, it'd probably be better than letting them break out of whatever revolving door they end up in.
>hear on the radio that doctors of different races often mis-diagnose conditions due to lack of cultural understanding. >go to doctor's office in California for my first check up on my new health insurance >get an indian I cant understand, is sort of rude. >politely ask for a white doctor >get "Dr. Goldburg" who literally refuses to examine me, insists I "look fine" and told me to leave unless I had something painful
That's more due to things like bias where people thinking black people and women feel less pain than they actually do, or thr doctors choose to minimize what they're being told about the pain. It's similar to how white people often tend to think black kids are older than they actually are and then find them intimidating.

If 10% of the population if 10 times more likely to kill you then you (and your loved ones) are 100 times more likely to be killed by a black man than a white man.
This rate of course increases if you live in a predominately black neighborhood.

The best way to fight racism is to disprove the stereotypes by being clinical and professional.
Imagine if the dialogue went like this.
"Why is my doctor a ni**er!"
"Mr. Larson, I do not want to treat you anymore than you want me to. But we're understaffed and you're in need of emergency treatment."
"No way, don't touch me or I'll sue!"
"If I don't treat your leg now it's going to have to be amputated in six hours. Are you okay with that?"
"..."
"Prepare the anesthetic."
This would completely throw off the racist's world view, and the readers would side with Malik who's being professional despite the circumstances.
But instead Malik sinks to the level of the racist and starts acting like an spiteful idiot.
This is why shitwits are the only ones still reading DC.
>The best way to fight racism is to disprove the stereotypes by being clinical and professional
Yes but very very few people would have that level of patience and tolerance. It's something Superman or some other veteran hero would def do, but not the average person, much less a kid
>But instead Malik sinks to the level of the racist and starts acting like an spiteful idiot
He's petty but his behavior isn't even comparable to the drunk-driving white supremacist
>Yes but very very few people would have that level of patience and tolerance. It's something Superman or some other veteran hero would def do, but not the average person, much less a kid
Every superhero should be a role model, that's what makes them super. Regardless of the circumstances they should rise above and be the best person they can be.
If he acted like that he'd be inspirational despite his age.
>He's petty but his behavior isn't even comparable to the drunk-driving white supremacist
It doesn't matter, he's still being petty when he's supposed to be the bigger man.
Think about it from the (racist) patient's perspective. The patient is not going to be nudged towards having a change of heart. Malik's behavior is reinforcing his worldview, by taking on the characteristics the patient has assigned to him because of his race.
I agree but this first impression is doing nothing for the character, it's like some weird black incel edgelord shit that someone would fantasize of having a white nazi strapped to a bed to do whatever gripe you wanted to do with them. It's kinda creepy as frick and says alot about the writer. This isn't even about politics anymore, it's a "wtf is wrong with this person."
There's like alot of troubling history with nurses and doctors just doing terrifying things to people of all races (sorry pol gays) in the delusions that they "deserved it" and I don't know if Preist is unaware or is just doing it intentionally to be shocking.
>it's like some weird black incel edgelord shit that someone would fantasize of having a white nazi strapped to a bed to do whatever gripe you wanted to do with them
If Priest isn't trolling, then he's having his cake and eating it too. You have the black character mock the Nazi strawman, but you also show him being a big enough person to at least treat him
>Why is my doctor a ni**er!" >"Mr. Larson, I do not want to treat you anymore than you want me to. But we're understaffed and you're in need of emergency treatment." >"No way, don't touch me or I'll sue!" >"If I don't treat your leg now it's going to have to be amputated in six hours.

/co/, and actual racists, would complain that it's a strawman and thus the comic is shit
Something I liked about his character in the boys is that he's a suave character defined by his intelligence even though he's evil. When asked if he was okay working with a super nazi, he said it was annoying but he tolerates it because he's a fricking professional and doesnt want to show his emotions because then he'd just be a stereotype. This is how to write an actual human being and not some tomfoolery
U really can't help but imagine Dr. Cox tearing into this guy telling him to act like a professional and to do his job. That he needs to leave his feelings at the door and treat this man like a patient.
Yet our first interaction with him is he's as petty and vindictive as Black Adam.
Not a promising start.
Better to have the racist throwing all sorts of slurs at him for daring to put his hands on his form.
And for him to calmly put it him that he's a doctor and he took and oath to save lives and that if he keeps it up he'll bleed out. Or he can calm it and allow him to save his life.
Or something to that effect.
And afterwards pity the man for being that kind of person.
There we've got positive qualities that are a contrast to Black Adam.
>Think that gets you rhythm from me? Shee... >And I can sing, too. Karen.
Draakaluh!
>I believe the word I'm searching for is----sssheee---
The fact that he speaks like this the entire time and wasn't just playing that up to make the nazi dude even more uncomfortable actually somehow makes this worse.
I can only assume that whoever wrote this is an actual, literal baby boomer.
i was defending whites until that guy with the bow showed at BLM
now i hate both equality >but you need to support us!!
no , i will kill you if necessary to maintain peace.
Reading the comic now, Priest made this character intentionally insufferable to anyone with a brain, I mean he talks American in the most rudest of ways and shits on another culture in front of said individuals like a shitty American would do. I think some anons are getting too overly defensive for his character and vice versa getting intimidated as frick by a punk ass black kid scaring one rando white dude who was a piece of shit drunk.
It's pretty one-dimensionally handled so half hazard that it doesn't even feel like an anti-hero story at all, and one of the core reasons why I end up avoiding stuff like Priests is because the stories that do this generate deadheaded toxicity out of people, don't call me an oversensitive gay for calling this out, when this thread will hit the bump limit tommow, you know I'm right.
>I think some anons are getting too overly defensive for his character
If you get flustered over how he's depicted and don't get it's intentional and a character flaw, and still double down when it's explained to you, you deserved to be mocked
Dude you need to stop huffing Preist's fumes, It's a legitimately shitty character with zero complexity other than "I'M TRIGGERING PEOPLE XD" and "I'm so profound for calling out black stereotypes by making my character a walking offensive stereotype", I've read better comics and manga with better problematic protagonists that don't resort to this.
On one hand, he's a med student working in a hospital but on the other, he has the attitude, maturity, and vocabulary of kid less than half his age. There's being eccentric but that is ridiculous, he'd be kicked or dropped ages ago
>I get this character is supposed to be snarky kid but you'd think working in a hospital environment would numb you enough and make one run out of fricks to give

This garbage is as dumb as miles morales thors.

The characters attitude and behavior contradict their lifestyle and or serious occupations, Writer flip-flops between the two when it's convenient without any proper devolvement given as to why, he fricking hates being a med student and then suddenly cares about being a med student at the whims of the moving the story forward and then reverts back to writer self insert mode.
You do realize people can... Change their mind? Or that emotions can play a part in how they act? Or think? Do you think people act the same way in every situation?
Oh sorry, I was talking as if this is a fictional character from a super-hero comic that acts like a teen with "black zoomer swagger" imagined up from a mind of an old ass black dude.
And yeah I go to school with one, using them with my own judgment, I don't think the comics' "personality" is possible for people wanting to get into that field, but you brought that as an example, and from my experience with one I disagree.

Well that's cool that the person you know isn't like this, but of the med students I've met many of them will talk about how medschool is hard and that sometimes they do think about giving it up for something else.
And also as an aside, when you're working late at a hospital sometimes you will look for anything as a distraction. Even if it's not the most rational thing you should do, like poke fun at a neo-nazi

I can understand how being a med student is hard, like any other job or occupation while simultaneously taking college.

Yeah, I dont get why some dude here is acting so obtuse as to why this character is so terribly written. Most people, especially the young students in that field would want to be taken seriously even if they're learning, so acting like some 50 year old's idea of boomer swagger is laughable. Frick, I know black people studying in STEM fields like computer science(something much less serious that med school but I digress) and none of them are about this "keeping it real" bullshit, they just want their degree and arent concerned with the buffoonery they left back in middle school

No one is saying that he should be polite. I think the problem is that any decent writer wouldve been able to mock the nazi in a more clever way without the dude acting like a literal "ah shiiieeeet" stereotype straight out of pol. That or make a black character whose only defining trait isnt how black they are because black people only think about the fact that they are black at all times.

If you're in the industry, you do not have a right to be selective of your patients. If I was a doctor and a filthy pedophile is on the operating table, as much as I would love for them to die, you need to man up and do what you can. Not berate him and being an absolute Black person
>you do not have a right to be selective of your patients
That's entirely irrelevant, the nazi is still getting treatment. All the black guy is doing is being a dicking about the fact and the irony that a supposed Aryan Ubermensch ends up needing medical help from who he perceives to be a incompetent subhuman, and as a cherry on top, it's all because the nazi is a drunk driving moron who wouldn't call a cab and instead totaled his car.
>All the black guy is doing is being a dicking about
That's not how superheroes act anon.
Superheroes aren't supposed to be self-inserts for your petty revenge fantasies.
The title character of this book once murdered an entire country
Yes. But Black Adam was a supervillain, White Adam is a superhero.
Why do you assume white adam is a hero?
1. The kid isn't a superhero
2. It's a Black Adam comic, not a Superman comic
1. He becomes one.
2. Superman is not the only superhero.
So you think only perfect people can become heroes? You must hate Spider-man then. And just about every other character who has to grow as a person once they turn into a hero.
Please elaborate on him or Black Adam heroic actions.
Isn't the entire point of the hippocratic oath that you DON'T let your personal opinion of someone and their beliefs influence the level of care you give them?
Man I wonder what Priest was thinking when he wrote this perfect bait. I hope he was laughing
He’s not refusing care. He’s just being a dick to the guy who hates him
>He’s not refusing care
Re-read my post ESL-kun.
Oh sorry. He doesn’t seem to be giving him less care, he’s just shit talking. I mean the whole point is the white supremacist is gonna have to live with knowing someone he hates is responsible for him being alive
>He doesn’t seem to be giving him less care, he’s just shit talking.
Anon, no offense, but you would make a terrible doctor.
Generally speaking if there's someone in your care with potentially serious head trauma the last thing you want to do is induce stress for no reason.
Like if a criminal with a tattoo that said "I love 8 year old pussy" was just shot by the police and is brought in for care and the first thing the doctor says when he comes in is "Whoa there mister pedophile, looks like you got into a little scrape with the cops! Don't worry though, I'm gonna take good care'a you, Lord knows there's already way too many pedophiles in hell!" most people would still find that entire scenario kinda fricking weird, even if they hate pedophiles.
Yes, the dude's bedside manner is atrocious, but more people seem to be unreasonably angry just because of the race stuff. Doesn't matter that he literally gets arrested a few panels down, or worse shit happens to the strawman nazi guy afterwards, people just don't want Black folk being uppity
Hey bro how about you post some of that and prove it. You can literally kill all the b***hing and (you) if you do.
Comics writers get the woodchipper as well.
Morally good person would not do it. Chaotic and Evil would. Would you torture a woke MCU snoyboy or a troony if you were the based doctor? Chads would help and try to improve them instead acting as their words would ever hurt them.
>would you bend over backwards to make him like you
No. You just be a normal, kind, human being who does their job in a proffesional manner. You dont have to try and make them like you, but showing just the littlest bit of kindness and warmth can sometimes win people over. Acting like a dick, and helping fuel the hatred helps nobody.
If I were a doctor I would do my job. I'd be really happy to hand him over to the police believe me, maybe even hope someone kills him in prison, but when he's in the hospital I do my job to save him so normal forces can deal with him.
Yes, and you're just a normal person.
Superheroes aren't meant to be normal, they're meant to be paragons. They do their jobs and hope for the best, always.
Malik should inspire everyone, including the racist patient, to be better people. He should driven by reason and principles, not by emotion.
Malik (being a young superhero) can still harbor doubts concerning whether or not bad people deserve redemption, but when he's not behind closed doors he should always do the right thing.
>Superheroes aren't meant to be normal, they're meant to be paragons. They do their jobs and hope for the best, always.
>Superheroes are never flawed
Is this why they're always infighting? And why Tony Stark had to deal with being a raging alcoholic who apathetically sold weapons to the highest bidder? And why batman is incredibly violent, operates based on fear and is so paranoid he has plans to kill all of his friends?
No, that's because writers don't know what superheroes are anymore.
If you asked Williamson to define a superhero he'd say "a person with superpowers."
That's what they have devolved to. And this is just another instance of "normal person with superpowers."
But you alone know the one true definition because superheroes are your absent father figure stand-ins?
No, I know it because I read comics when superheroes were more than just DBZ characters.
hm, I would not be taunting the israelites, but i also would not make them like me
No
Nurse here. Most patients feel like barely literate sheep who think we cause their suffering, a neo nazi would literally be no difference.
Racism is a mind demon that can only be conquered by yourself. I tell people this all the time but you really can't change a racist's mind because usually they have a very rigid world view that has to be dismantled entirely and rebuilt if you want to actually help them, and at that point it's not worth the effort, nor are a majority of human beings capable of change like that.
Sadly the racist ultimately is the only one that can change their mind truly in the end for the better, but there's no harm in giving them the occasional empathic OUT in moderation, giving them none or just being as fricked up as them does like zero good and justifies why an asteroid should just kill us all.
>or just being as fricked up as them
I'm sorry but how could I do that? I don't hate or want to kill anyone for the inherent traits they were born with
Have you ever heard of black supremacists? I'm not talking about the guys that want to kill white people, these guys looked and white supremacists and legit asked them, "hey bros, how can we do that ourselves but black?"
>people need to be polite to nazis
Liberalism is a fricking disease
If someone is genuinely racist, not some edgy internet racist doing it to fit in with their fellow edgy internet racists, the most they'll change is in a "you're one of the good ones" way. Like how someone can love their mom but still be sexist.
I agree but it'd be better on everyone if you stopped posting this shit. Out of site; out of mind.
I mean yeah frick the nazi guy (i haven't read the comic) but this feels kinda TOO edgy to read. Like a victim kid is making fun of a suffering bully kid saying "nener nener nerner" just because the other kid was a peice a shit previously and it makes everyone involved look unhinged than sympathetic or "relatable." Just kill the mother fricker, prolonging suffering makes you worse than anyone else.
homie this is comics and cartoon thread, not you facebook blog dump
>homie this is comics and cartoon thread
Yeah, no, OP knew exactly what kind of thread this was going to be when he posted that page.
hello n-word, haha do you want a banana? *hand sign*
Honestly, considering how many super villains are to normal people you'd think doctors would just treat them poorly and if they die well, it'd probably be better than letting them break out of whatever revolving door they end up in.
And Cinemaphile trannies wonders why the Rippaverse is making so much money.
Priest is everything Rippa wishes he could be as a writer
Writing shit comics that don't make money?
>Black person doctor can't even practice basic bedside manner and goes out of his way to antagonize patient
>hear on the radio that doctors of different races often mis-diagnose conditions due to lack of cultural understanding.
>go to doctor's office in California for my first check up on my new health insurance
>get an indian I cant understand, is sort of rude.
>politely ask for a white doctor
>get "Dr. Goldburg" who literally refuses to examine me, insists I "look fine" and told me to leave unless I had something painful
That's more due to things like bias where people thinking black people and women feel less pain than they actually do, or thr doctors choose to minimize what they're being told about the pain. It's similar to how white people often tend to think black kids are older than they actually are and then find them intimidating.
Blacks murder whites at a rate of 10-1
Even it it was true.
Murder is 0.00005 chance.
It is true. Check DOJ and FBI. And you're right. It's not just murder, it's all violent crimes. 10-1 despite being only 13% of the population.
Go back to Africa. You don't deserve to live among Whites.
Crime is a declining trend. Why do you think it's okay to judge a race base on the less than 1%? Do you know how small is 398/100000?
>Why do you think it's okay to judge a race base on the less than 1%?
Because your people murder mine at a rate of 10-1. How the frick can you think any of that is okay? And then you post some kind of cope graph that conveniently ends right as the needle is about to spike in 2020. Because of your depraved, unevolved homosexual Erectus race. What the frick is wrong with you? Are you a fricking sociopath?
Oh wait, you're black, of course you are. You're the leading cause of death among your own people as well. Even blacks can't live with blacks. Go back to Africa, stop murdering my people. You're a blight on the entire planet, at least try to contain it to your own continent.
So you won't do the math on how low the total amount of crime is? Suicide is a bigger threat than homicide. I really hope your paranoia don't cause you have a nice day dude.
>So you won't do the math on how low the total amount of crime is?
If 10% of the population if 10 times more likely to kill you then you (and your loved ones) are 100 times more likely to be killed by a black man than a white man.
This rate of course increases if you live in a predominately black neighborhood.
Why needlessly subject yourself to that kind of risk?
>If 10% of the population if 10 times more likely to kill you then you (and your loved ones) are 100 times more likely to be killed by a black man than a white man.
Lol, what's is this math, are you 12?
The best way to fight racism is to disprove the stereotypes by being clinical and professional.
Imagine if the dialogue went like this.
"Why is my doctor a ni**er!"
"Mr. Larson, I do not want to treat you anymore than you want me to. But we're understaffed and you're in need of emergency treatment."
"No way, don't touch me or I'll sue!"
"If I don't treat your leg now it's going to have to be amputated in six hours. Are you okay with that?"
"..."
"Prepare the anesthetic."
This would completely throw off the racist's world view, and the readers would side with Malik who's being professional despite the circumstances.
But instead Malik sinks to the level of the racist and starts acting like an spiteful idiot.
This is why shitwits are the only ones still reading DC.
Well Thomas Sowell fans clearly didn't wrote this comic, maybe try Isom of Rippaverse
Anon, he blew you out of the water. accept your loss with at least some dignity.
>The best way to fight racism is to disprove the stereotypes by being clinical and professional
Yes but very very few people would have that level of patience and tolerance. It's something Superman or some other veteran hero would def do, but not the average person, much less a kid
>But instead Malik sinks to the level of the racist and starts acting like an spiteful idiot
He's petty but his behavior isn't even comparable to the drunk-driving white supremacist
>much less a kid
Uhh, he's a doctor.
He's definitely not a kid.
He is not (yet) a doctor
He's treating patients in an emergency situation and clearly has a nurse assisting him, which means he's at bare minimum 22.
third year med student I believe its stated so yea he should be better adjusted than this.
Supposedly the length he's going to at the end trying to save Black Adam shows he's a good person. But you've already poisoned the well.
>Yes but very very few people would have that level of patience and tolerance. It's something Superman or some other veteran hero would def do, but not the average person, much less a kid
Every superhero should be a role model, that's what makes them super. Regardless of the circumstances they should rise above and be the best person they can be.
If he acted like that he'd be inspirational despite his age.
>He's petty but his behavior isn't even comparable to the drunk-driving white supremacist
It doesn't matter, he's still being petty when he's supposed to be the bigger man.
Think about it from the (racist) patient's perspective. The patient is not going to be nudged towards having a change of heart. Malik's behavior is reinforcing his worldview, by taking on the characteristics the patient has assigned to him because of his race.
I agree but this first impression is doing nothing for the character, it's like some weird black incel edgelord shit that someone would fantasize of having a white nazi strapped to a bed to do whatever gripe you wanted to do with them. It's kinda creepy as frick and says alot about the writer. This isn't even about politics anymore, it's a "wtf is wrong with this person."
There's like alot of troubling history with nurses and doctors just doing terrifying things to people of all races (sorry pol gays) in the delusions that they "deserved it" and I don't know if Preist is unaware or is just doing it intentionally to be shocking.
>it's like some weird black incel edgelord shit that someone would fantasize of having a white nazi strapped to a bed to do whatever gripe you wanted to do with them
If Priest isn't trolling, then he's having his cake and eating it too. You have the black character mock the Nazi strawman, but you also show him being a big enough person to at least treat him
>Why is my doctor a ni**er!"
>"Mr. Larson, I do not want to treat you anymore than you want me to. But we're understaffed and you're in need of emergency treatment."
>"No way, don't touch me or I'll sue!"
>"If I don't treat your leg now it's going to have to be amputated in six hours. Are you okay with that?"
>"..."
>"Prepare the anesthetic."
/co/, and actual racists, would complain that it's a strawman and thus the comic is shit
>n***er
You're on Cinemaphile, you're allowed to say n****r
Go back to rebbit
you get banned if someone reports you. Mods are {redacted}
Something I liked about his character in the boys is that he's a suave character defined by his intelligence even though he's evil. When asked if he was okay working with a super nazi, he said it was annoying but he tolerates it because he's a fricking professional and doesnt want to show his emotions because then he'd just be a stereotype. This is how to write an actual human being and not some tomfoolery
U really can't help but imagine Dr. Cox tearing into this guy telling him to act like a professional and to do his job. That he needs to leave his feelings at the door and treat this man like a patient.
drunk drivers are worst than animals, so he's absolutely right
Why is manga outselling comics?
Isn't Black Adam an evil petty butthole. Shouldn't his successor be the same?
No, because White Adam is supposed to be a hero. Taking the legacy in the right direction.
>White Adam
I never got this name.
Adam means "man," right? "Son of Man" and "Son of Adam" is used interchangeably to refer to men in a formal manner.
So White Adam literally translates to White Man. But he's black?
Why not keep the Black Adam title?
That's exactly it.
Black Adam meant Black Man, but Black in the sense of evil.
White Adam similarly is meant to mean good man. And Malik is supposed to be a hero.
Yet our first interaction with him is he's as petty and vindictive as Black Adam.
Not a promising start.
Better to have the racist throwing all sorts of slurs at him for daring to put his hands on his form.
And for him to calmly put it him that he's a doctor and he took and oath to save lives and that if he keeps it up he'll bleed out. Or he can calm it and allow him to save his life.
Or something to that effect.
And afterwards pity the man for being that kind of person.
There we've got positive qualities that are a contrast to Black Adam.
Isn't it their last name.
>Isn't it their last name.
Teth-Adam, maybe?
Mailk White, ???
Impromptu storytime buttholes
Why does he look like such a frickboy?
>I'm 'bout to Oppan Gangam Style up in this piece
>Think that gets you rhythm from me? Shee...
>And I can sing, too. Karen.
Draakaluh!
>I believe the word I'm searching for is----sssheee---
The fact that he speaks like this the entire time and wasn't just playing that up to make the nazi dude even more uncomfortable actually somehow makes this worse.
I can only assume that whoever wrote this is an actual, literal baby boomer.
>I can only assume that whoever wrote this is an actual, literal baby boomer.
Well, you're not wrong. He must be in his mid sixties by now.
I know that you guys find this guy annoying, but I like him because he's annoying.
i was defending whites until that guy with the bow showed at BLM
now i hate both equality
>but you need to support us!!
no , i will kill you if necessary to maintain peace.
all these old frickers deserve this and more. They made the bed, let em lie in it
Reading the comic now, Priest made this character intentionally insufferable to anyone with a brain, I mean he talks American in the most rudest of ways and shits on another culture in front of said individuals like a shitty American would do. I think some anons are getting too overly defensive for his character and vice versa getting intimidated as frick by a punk ass black kid scaring one rando white dude who was a piece of shit drunk.
It's pretty one-dimensionally handled so half hazard that it doesn't even feel like an anti-hero story at all, and one of the core reasons why I end up avoiding stuff like Priests is because the stories that do this generate deadheaded toxicity out of people, don't call me an oversensitive gay for calling this out, when this thread will hit the bump limit tommow, you know I'm right.
>I think some anons are getting too overly defensive for his character
If you get flustered over how he's depicted and don't get it's intentional and a character flaw, and still double down when it's explained to you, you deserved to be mocked
Dude you need to stop huffing Preist's fumes, It's a legitimately shitty character with zero complexity other than "I'M TRIGGERING PEOPLE XD" and "I'm so profound for calling out black stereotypes by making my character a walking offensive stereotype", I've read better comics and manga with better problematic protagonists that don't resort to this.
On one hand, he's a med student working in a hospital but on the other, he has the attitude, maturity, and vocabulary of kid less than half his age. There's being eccentric but that is ridiculous, he'd be kicked or dropped ages ago
I mean yes, It's like really bad writing.
>character intentionally insufferable to anyone with a brain,
Applies to 100% of all cape shit.
>blaming the writer for the behavior of the readers
Disgusting.
I get this character is supposed to be snarky kid but you'd think working in a hospital environment would numb you enough and make one run out of fricks to give that one wouldnt give some nazi patient more than a second thought because of how much other shit they got going on but nope in these "writer's" head a black person only trait is reminded everyone how black they are at every possible moment. This garbage is as dumb as miles morales thors.
>I get this character is supposed to be snarky kid but you'd think working in a hospital environment would numb you enough and make one run out of fricks to give
He's a med student. He hasn't had time to get numb to anything
Why the frick have we had so many threads about this and still no one has read more than this one page
Logic and reason goes out with the bath water when it involves a black character.
I read it. He's a med student who still works in a hospital during the dead hours of night to make ends meet. It's shit writing either way.
>It's shit writing
Why?
The characters attitude and behavior contradict their lifestyle and or serious occupations, Writer flip-flops between the two when it's convenient without any proper devolvement given as to why, he fricking hates being a med student and then suddenly cares about being a med student at the whims of the moving the story forward and then reverts back to writer self insert mode.
Have you ever actually met a med student?
Oh sorry, I was talking as if this is a fictional character from a super-hero comic that acts like a teen with "black zoomer swagger" imagined up from a mind of an old ass black dude.
And yeah I go to school with one, using them with my own judgment, I don't think the comics' "personality" is possible for people wanting to get into that field, but you brought that as an example, and from my experience with one I disagree.
Well that's cool that the person you know isn't like this, but of the med students I've met many of them will talk about how medschool is hard and that sometimes they do think about giving it up for something else.
And also as an aside, when you're working late at a hospital sometimes you will look for anything as a distraction. Even if it's not the most rational thing you should do, like poke fun at a neo-nazi
I can understand how being a med student is hard, like any other job or occupation while simultaneously taking college. But you seriously have a pretty low view of the general population that they would just stoop to dehumanizing levels over morality politics when someone could be suffering painfully in a physical manner in front of them. The real world ain't Cinemaphile.
>But you seriously have a pretty low view of the general population that they would just stoop to dehumanizing levels over morality politics
The frick are you saying? Why are you trying to make this about "the general population"?
It's one fricking guy
Yeah, anyone who works with the public in the real world deals with pieces of shits in all forms. It's fun to laugh at the expense of a nazi but in reality most would know that it's now worth the time or trouble that you'll likely get into. Even if he wasnt a nazi, I hate drunk drivers just as much, they're selfish irresponsible fricks that kill people every year but I wouldn't be smug and take pleasure telling one how much they fricked up in a hospital bed because the real world isnt some shit talking forum
Yeah, I dont get why some dude here is acting so obtuse as to why this character is so terribly written. Most people, especially the young students in that field would want to be taken seriously even if they're learning, so acting like some 50 year old's idea of boomer swagger is laughable. Frick, I know black people studying in STEM fields like computer science(something much less serious that med school but I digress) and none of them are about this "keeping it real" bullshit, they just want their degree and arent concerned with the buffoonery they left back in middle school
You do realize people can... Change their mind? Or that emotions can play a part in how they act? Or think? Do you think people act the same way in every situation?
he's a moron posting on Cinemaphile, of course he doesn't know how people act in real life.
>racists mad that a fictional black guy is rude to a neonazi
What a strange place this board has become
No one is saying that he should be polite. I think the problem is that any decent writer wouldve been able to mock the nazi in a more clever way without the dude acting like a literal "ah shiiieeeet" stereotype straight out of pol. That or make a black character whose only defining trait isnt how black they are because black people only think about the fact that they are black at all times.
>without the dude acting like a literal "ah shiiieeeet" stereotype straight out of pol
Liberals go away
Didn't scrubs have a moment like this. Except the doctor was an actual human being
Holy b***hing batman. What's got your panties in a fricking twist? You can't even fricking read correctly, with your victimization goggles on so tight.
How can you say all those things as a non-functioning member of society? Like if you believed half the shit you spewed you'd have a nice day.
> guys like you are why I went to medial school!
