Why doesn't Marvel give their black anti-heroes (such as Bishop and Blade), as much love as their white counterparts, or even standard black hero...
Cause they are too black for the wokies and the woke only likes mutts.
Because they don't know how to not be racist
Modern writers (woke) doesn't want to depicted black heroes as antihero or any problematic personality on them because it's not a good role model for black community and also masculinity in general is toxic
The market doesn’t support Bishop or Blade solo books despite multiple attempts.
Blade has been on the Avengers since the start of Aaron's run and he's been in other stuff as well, many occult team books. Bishop was in Rosenberg's X-Man stuff when they were in that other world but I don't think he's been used that much since then. Probably on some random x-book. The real question is, where's Mosaic?
here's your new midnight suns lineup bro
That's from an anthology comic stupid
this is the new midnight suns lineup
booba
homosexual inhumanus are non grata rn
Mosaic shouldn't be subjected to such prejudice just because he's Inhuman.
Who’s the bawd on the right with the sword?
Bloodline, Blade's daughter
Because what is actually important to them is to remove (through race-swapping, retiring) white characters, not 'elevating PoC' characters.
Jace Fox will be the new Batman, Nubia will be the new Wonder Woman, Jackson Hyde will be the new Aquaman etc etc.
And for the few white characters remaining, they'll be turned into LGBTQ+ representation.
>Jace Fox will be the new Batman
Is he? His book sells OK, but I genuinely see 'meh' reaction even on Reddit.
>Jackson Hyde will be the new Aquaman
Already cancelled. Will probably be forgotten in a couple of years. The hype over Young Justice is dead now, so even less reasons fir him to stay.
Black Male Anti-Heroes are limited in their appeal, with many aspects that might turn audiences off.
On the woke side:
>some might not appreciate a character of color being portrayed as having dubious morals
>some might not like the "angry/violent black man" angle, fearing it plays to harmful stereotypes
>some might not like it because the character supposedly promotes toxic masculinity
On the anti-woke side
>some might not be interested in what they see as a black revenge/power fantasy
>or they don't want to read about a black protagonist in general
For normies, most people won't care and just want a good book. That being said:
>if romance is included, the book is fricked either way. Pair the hero with a black woman and people might think the book is promoting that races should stick with their own. Pair him with a woman of a different race and the book is the target of BLACKED shitposting. And the BLACKED angle has very limited appeal anyway, unless the reader specifically gets off on that.
I'm pretty sure Blade alone must have gotten several pitches now, it's just that the market doesn't support them
Although they're probably just waiting for the Blade movie to get a release date so that they can start preparing for the synergy book to be made
Is Bishop even black? I thought he was supposed to be aboriginal australian.
And for that matter Blade isn't even fully black. He's half white in the comics.
There were hints that Storm is his grandma, so he was supposed to be at least part black.
Deathlok too
