Topic	Why werent black people excited for Blade?
hollow_shrine 02/16/18 10:16:30 AM #66:	Because who the fuck is Blade? What about the name and lore of Blade directly references the black empowerment movement or the civil rights movement or the cultural 'pivot to Africa' that took place in the wake of the Civil Rights movement when Black America was trying to rediscover a sense of cultural identity that could exist independent of the white gaze. Blade can't do any of that, and wasn't written to. Black Panther on the other hand was Marvel making a couching an attempt at pandering to black people, as their company's stating solidarity with the struggle of that time. While their success with this has been inconsistent, at least the message has been a bit more consistent. In this world of white superheroes, whose to say a black nation given the same opportunity for cultural enrichment free couldn't rise to the same heights? And in that fantastic setting, they did. --- Whatever happened to standards? Whatever happened to bare minimums? https://i.imgtc.com/7UnK3hx.jpg <cite>hollow_shrine posted [p:896193089] in Why werent... [t:76325012]...</cite> <quote>Because who the fuck is Blade?
