Comments on: Stan Lee: African-American Spider-Man Would be “Confusing” https://popculturenerd.com/2010/06/10/stan-lee-african-american-spider-man-would-be-confusing Mon, 08 Feb 2021 10:57:22 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=4.9.26 By: EIREGO https://popculturenerd.com/2010/06/10/stan-lee-african-american-spider-man-would-be-confusing/comment-page-1#comment-6591 Fri, 11 Jun 2010 18:06:19 +0000 https://popculturenerd.com/?p=10215#comment-6591 I’m open to a black Spider-Man. I don’t care. Just give us an actor who can sell it and a decent story along with it.

Wonder Woman was cheesy. They can only make it better. I am a huge fan of what they did with the animated Justice League.

I noticed how people get all crazy over the silliest things when it comes to who can and can’t play a superhero or character from a book. It’s all about our imagination. We imbue a certain part of ourselves into the character and, together with whatever the creators/authors add to the description of the hero/heroine, we form an image and we refuse to let go of it.

Liam Aiken was originally hired to play Harry Potter. He was fired after one day for not being British and J.K. Rowling insisted that all the actors be British.

I guess what I am trying to say is it really doesn’t matter, does it? In our dreams WE play the hero and whatever gender, race, height, weight or hair color we are will look right on the character.

That being said, Thor’s costume just makes him look like a evil sorcerer and so not Thor-like.

Now that’s just crazy. They’d probably do something wacky like cast Cathy Lee Crosby in that role in a TV movie. (Hmmmmm. I wonder if that would work? Nah, probably not. Sounds like someone’s dream from Fantasy Island.)
