Eh, it’s the same region thousands of years removed...it’s all canon...

I’ll say it again. Bendis’ Luke Cage is great.

It’s what he does best. He struggles with plot but his characters are so good. He does something more writers should do. He tries to turn every character he writes into a likable, interesting character. So many Writers take characters they personally dislike and write them to be really shitty people. People do that…

Was it Luke Cage or the new Power Man? The Alvarez guy?

Hey y’know what? Me too.

Doctor Strange is a little different because the magic he uses isn’t an invention of the asian culture that takes him in. His teacher happens to be an old asian man but there is a huge magical world in The Marvel universe that has practitioners in every culture and country. Also they’ve had the role of Sorcerer…

I’m glad someone gets it. There are hundreds of white martial arts master in comics. Batman, Oliver Queen, Wolverine, Steve Rogers..the list goes on and on. That’s not the issue. The issue is the Last Samurai/white savior complex.

Yes. Thank you.

I know!! And I wish they pushed him in other media the way they push Iron Fist. But they don’t...

I completely agree.

Oracle is cool and Tim Drake was cool after his mom was poisoned and his dad caught a boomerang in the chest. I didn’t care for all the sass and jokes.

I think Dick Grayson is the only proof that Batman doesn’t just raise psychos.

Absolutely. As long as it was more like X-com as far as the combat goes and more like Fire Emblem as far as the relationship stuff goes.

I don’t think being non-white is a guarantee of anything. I think Bendis is the best Luke cage writer I’ve read and he’s a little white guy. You just need a write that understands that these are people first and is willing to let go of their bullshit stereotypes.

It works for him and only him.

Because it’s not just about the Martial Arts. His entire backstory, the fictional city of Kul’lun (or however it’s spelled) is all an amalgam of asian imagery and culture. The Iron Fist brand (Much like Avatar: The Last Airbender) is a celebration of Traditional Asian and martial Arts culture. The same way Wakanda is…
