Me bucking breaking a buck.
Static Shock was good. Blade is cool. If anyone has a problem with John Stewart I'll punch them because he was an absolute boss.
Classic Nubia was great until they ruined her.
Black Lightning is fricking great.
And that's just Capeshit.
>Classic Nubia
All I know about Nubia is that crappy high school comic. You got the cover art for the classic comics?
OG Nubia didn't get her own run, and the character has had a lot of weird attempted half-reboots. But the original was Diana's twin, made from darker clay, and showed up a few times occasionally fighting her or helping her.
Outside of the OG though you generally have two version "Black Diana with more of a focus on charity work and helping the impoverished while actually being a bit more psycho in an actual fight" and "This is just a black Amazon and unrelated". Current Nubia is IIRC not at all related to Diana and is doing some jankass shit where she's the current Queen of the Amazons. Credit where it's due its decently written and wasn't just shitting on Diana or Hippolyta IIRC but it does kinda miss the fun of Diana's hotheaded more aggressive sister who overcompensates and occasionally punches her in the face.
I miss him, bros. He was the best.
If he was the best why did this board get him fired?
Because you touch yourself at night.
Not having any
When I don't even realize the character is black until someone broughts it up. It takes me a good amount of brain connections to even think virgil from static shock as "black". Because I first think about Him, his personality, he being static shock, that episode with the hobo that gives powers and finally him being black.
Not even that hard to be done in my case, but is not something that has been happening a lot past few years. One because the internet ruined that aspect of me by being overpolitizised and two the world itself being so politicized that a good 30% of what people talk about is this sort of shit.
>t takes me a good amount of brain connections to even think virgil from static shock as "black".
Well yeah because your brain is likely underdeveloped. Even as a 10 year old i understood why Vergil being black links with the story.
But I don't live in the US and all the cultural nuances about race where completely lost in translation. I mean, I can see it now that is there, but is not what I remember most about the cartoon or the character.
I’ll let you know when I find one.
Boondocks,static shock,I liked the black guy from nicktoons Voltron,Cyborg from teen titans,the Madea movies
I call it "Is this character black because the creator assigned it to the character, or because the show needed a black character" test. Basically, if the character needs to remind everyone they're black every episode, then it's bad (Unless it's stuff like the Boondocks or Black Dynamite, which focuses on blacks).
Say Miles Spider-Man. Besides the author's notorious cuck fetish, if Miles was any other race, he'd be the same overpowered version of Spider-Man without any of the flaws he always was.

>What does Cinemaphile define as good black representation
it's not up to Cinemaphile to decide what is or isn't good representation of something when its creators that strive to illustrate their vision. could give less of a frick about what this place thinks
Then why should we care about your opinion?
nobody gives a shit about what you think
So we agree then?
No
Fricking
Racebending
If a character was originally written as white, don't make them black. Don't make them Mexican, either, or Asian, or anything.
I fricking hate when characters are raceswapped. It's disrsepectful of the original intent of the author/writer/illustrator. The author envisioned their characters looking a certain way and if someone wants to change that for the sake of "diversity" that tells me they don't care about the author's intent when it comes to character appearance, so they probably won't care about lots of other things the author intended, which means the adaptation is likely going to be shit.
If you want to have a diverse cast with characters of different races in your story, then either write an original story that's already diverse, or adapt a story that's already diverse. Don't fricking change characters' races. Or genders, for that matter. Especially with no explanation or justification whatsoever.
Being "written as white" means not being written with anything at all. Thats the point of whiteness.
If a character is described as having pale skin there's no reason to change that in an adaptation. No good reason, anyway.
Having pale skin =/= white.
It's either white or Asian with rare exceptions like the Berbers.
Or albinos or south americans or mixed race black people.
