I grew up with the original, too and the Ultimates (the Avengers in the Ultimate universe) is awesome and actually better than the old stuff. Ultimate Spider-Man is pretty awful, though. But the point is, the movies were drawn from a "comics canon" other than the one you read. Also, as you pointed out, it's comic…

In the Ultimates line Nick Fury was based on Samuel L. Jackson. So, yes, he was black "in the comics canon". There are multiple canons.

Did you just come up with that? That may be the funniest things I've ever read!

This isn't a viral ad for Olympus Has Fallen?

Why is the Xena vs Addams Family poll closed?

On The Walking Dead, all black men are Highlanders: There can be only one!

Nipleys!

Ripley nips!

Do No Harm: come for the ridiculous premise, stay for the Pasquale. The premise is slap-in-the-face-with-a-fish nonsensical but somehow Pasquale makes the character work. Or at least fun to watch.

Yeah, for a website that's supposed to be about smart stuff, they don't type too good.

Sure, we've "conquered the threat of extinction" today, but as long we have the means to wipe ourselves out (and we have several), we could be conquered by it tomorrow. Mayans notwithstanding.

Then why doesn't my mirror image have a goatee?

The black guys are Highlanders. There can be only one!

Also Irish and I'd like to think I'm not overly sensitive about such things but I agree this episode was offensive. Can't wait to get the set and watch it so I can shake my fist at the screen! But I'll try not to throw my beer can.
