Ghost Rider isn't their property to fuck with anymore. They sold the rights, which is why we got the film we did.

Captain America is a Marvel Films project, and while Will Smith is a tremendous actor, making Steve Rogers a black man would be a huge mistake. He's supposed to be the symbol of the United States of America... not the symbol of Urban America.

[apsham]

Yeah Gaby, WHITE POWER.

[probablyoliver]

Boy, Captain America over here! "Best of the best of the best, sir!" "With honors." Yeah, he's just really excited and he has no clue why we're here.

[Gabriel]

I'm just saying, you know... the white man volunteered for the process and became the symbol of freedom... he became a super soldier. When he went missing, they forced a bunch of NGH's to be test subjects to try and recreate the formula.

If they don't radically change the backstory, then they can't radically change Steve Rogers' race. A black man would never have been able to be the face of freedom during World War II... and to add to that, Isaiah Bradley would never have become the black Captain America if Steve Rogers had never been there in the first place.

I love Will Smith, but I love Captain America more, and I'd rather them pick a lesser actor who is white, than rape the character I grew up loving by changing so much. It worked with Nick Fury, but not before a huge battle about it... and Fury doesn't have nearly as many things that could be argued as to why he should have remained white in the Ultimate universe.

Even now, in 2008, the United States may be electing just the first ever colored President... 40+ years ago, if the government came out and said "This man (who happens to be black) is going to lead our troops and be the face of a nation!" they would have been eaten alive.

[probablyoliver]

Because blacks are cannibals too? Oh wow Gabe. Oh wow.

[apsham]

Oh I agree, I was just pointing out how there's GOING to be someone coming in here and being like "SO WHY CAN'T A BLACK GUY BE HIM? HUH?"

[Cabral_]

I think Will Smith is a good representative for the USA :/

He came from an 'urban' background but i don't think he has ever potrayed himself as a gangster. But i am not American so wouldn't know what he gets up to...i thought Martin Lawrence was a gentleman aswell...did a bit of digging...and he ain't.

EDIT: I am a slow typer >.>

[apsham]

See?

[tristy]

Will Smith is more white than most white actors anyway

[Cabral_]

Not sure how you think i was calling him out for the 'black' thing. But this discussion isn't going anywhere good.

I don't know much about Captain America...so the whole him being apart of the war lost on me...but i know what Captain America stands for...and i think Will Smith would be good at that.

[probablyoliver]

"I know nothing of Captain America Spiderman, let Will Smith Tommy Lee Jones play him".

Wow, you're quite silly.

[apsham]

...it's not about what "Captain America stands for" it's what Captain America stood for... IN THE 1940s.
