So true. Even if the original, was a black character, he is still pointless. Same for Black Panther. I just read his abilities......nothing special. I would want a black superhero to be like Superman/Spiderman or Goku. 'REAL' powers. Not some add-on, side-kick pressense.
Look at Hancock. Alright, his character was a bum, but at least he could fly and have Superman abilites. I don't really want to see Maverl black heros movie. They always seem to be rushed as if to say "Oooohhh, here you go, theres a black character for you people".
The same goes for female characters. No Wonder Woman or Supergirl film. There is a video on YouTube, of a script writer talking about Marvel. He mentioned when he choose Blade (which brought Marvel out of bankrupcy), but he said so bluntly, when talking about DC "There was Flash and Wonder Woman....NOT DOING WONDER WOMAN".
Maybe, someone like Spike Lee needs to jump off the whole Black History films and make a black super hero film instead.
