          This is the outcome "Why doesn't Batman kill the joker" shit has bought to movies. People who have to have everything as nitty gritty realistic as possible for their flying punch strong men.

            Why is it always Batman's job to kill the joker? I'm pretty sure a GCPD cop could pop him in the head during the arrest in front of news cameras and they'd probably just get paid leave and every single other cop was conveniently looking the other way.

            Honestly, I'm surprised that story hasn't been done yet.

            I don't know if he did the original designing of her costume but there is definitely a storied tradition of artists doing their best to make it look like she's got no panties.

            I think one time they did show it off and she just had a really skimpy leotard on underneath, but I couldn't point you to where/when it happened

        Red hair is rare in America, and they get a disproportionate representation because it is not a hair colour but a personality in comics.
        When you have to replace someone to try and capture the largest possible audience, you replace the one who can be substituted for the default black minority so long as the generic personality remains.

          That's what I say. It's a lose-lose situation for the audience, or it should be: the actual fans get pissed because they get an arbitrarily changed version of what they like, and you'd think "colored" people would be a bit miffed that most of their representation consists of white characters spray-painted into other colors.

          Hell, it isn't even always white characters; like that Japanese samurai Eternal who got turned into a pajeet.

            Literally nobody cares. The MCU made billions with dozens of race swap characters. The only fans that I seen get upset about a character change are Superman fans. Cyclone only have discussion because she will have less than a 10 minute appearance of being a different color in a Black Adam movie.

            She can be a white and extremely out of character, like the majority of superheros and nobody will care. Only a select few heroes have fans and cyclone is just generating the same song and dance of outrage. She will be forgotten within a week after the movie is released.

              Not quite so literally, as there are people discussing it.

            Exactly and it would’ve made more sense to go with a character like Mr. Terrific considering they had to completely change hawkmans character and origin to make this work. Also they could have made this girl Lightning and it would’ve probably worked much better since she looks cool and has at least some better brand recognition with Black Lightning

      At this point it has to be deliberate, done by people that think it's funny to be part of a bad meme. Like making yet another black superhero with lightning powers and having him say "yeah I know, I'm another black hero with lightning powers."
