Title: Re: Twitter campaign pushes for black Spider-Man Post by: indianasmith on June 02, 2010, 10:34:03 AM But . . . . Spider Man isn't black . . . he never has been!
I don't understand this push. Why paint a white hero black? Why not just create a black hero?

I can see it: "Spider-Man's soul brother!" "If you thought Spider-Man 3 was dark, wait 'till you see what we got in store!" -Jimmybob Title: Re: Twitter campaign pushes for black Spider-Man Post by: feiyen on June 02, 2010, 08:13:40 PM its different! fresh view, fresh story, I'd watch it.

Title: Re: Twitter campaign pushes for black Spider-Man Post by: BoyScoutKevin on June 07, 2010, 05:14:19 PM It seems a bit of a stretch to see Spiderman played by a black actor, but it'd not be a first for a white comic book character, in the Marvel Universe, to be played by a black man. Kingpin, in the comic books "Daredevil" and "Spiderman," who has always appeared to me as a white man, was voiced by the black actor Roscoe Lee Browne in the animated series "Spiderman." And he was portrayed by black actor Michael Clarke Duncan in the film "Daredevil."

Title: Re: Twitter campaign pushes for black Spider-Man Post by: JPickettIII on June 11, 2010, 04:43:52 PM I don't get it. Spiderman has always been a caucasin dude. Maybe they would have a Micheal Jackson spin on it. Peter Parker was not happy as a white boy, so he became a soul brother.
It would not be Soul Man. :bouncegiggle: Later, John Title: Re: Twitter campaign pushes for black Spider-Man Post by: metalmonster on June 12, 2010, 04:18:59 PM If They Get A Black Actor To Play The Next SPIDERMAN
Then They Should Get A White Actor To Play The Next SHAFT :teddyr: Title: Re: Twitter campaign pushes for black Spider-Man Post by: Starsky on June 13, 2010, 07:12:40 AM If They Get A Black Actor To Play The Next SPIDERMAN Then They Should Get A White Actor To Play The Next SHAFT :teddyr: nice :bouncegiggle: Title: Re: Twitter campaign pushes for black Spider-Man Post by: Nukie 2 on June 13, 2010, 10:50:05 AM I thought Spider Man was Tobey Maguire... who else can I identify Spider Man with, after all those movie were made fairly recently.
Title: Re: Twitter campaign pushes for black Spider-Man Post by: The Gravekeeper on June 21, 2010, 03:58:56 PM Why not make a movie about a black superhero? There are a couple kicking around, after all.
