He must be hung like a pack elephant, right?

"Let's make ARCHER, only in the style of an 80s hair salon poster! Oh, and without anything that makes ARCHER great." I tapped out faster than Bethe Correia.

which it isn't

Okay, well as long as you are serious and all.

In fairness to Morty, I bet Jessica's feet are pretty exceptional.

Here's the problem with the Diversity argument in this case: Julia Roberts.

I hope it comes down to a Sophie's Choice between which son to save, Travis' or the Junkie, and before they can even get the words out the goddam Junkie is left for zombie chow.

Congratulations to Blair Herter for becoming one of the few ROAD RULES castmembers to find employment outside of "Challenge" shows and speaking engagements.

Well if you want to believe the trades, that was all due to Perlmutter. Now that Feige doesn't answer to him, and Marvel Studios is more directly under the auspices of the more racially sensitive Disney, that should change.

Tilda Swinton has said her Ancient One isn't necessarily a woman, and perhaps not white, either. But yeah, most of Marvel's substantial Asian characters are under Fox's purview.

There's not a whole lot of major Asian superheroes in print form, either. I think the new Hulk is Korean.

Those early Shang-Chi issues are tricky, because Marvel was licensing Fu Manchu at the time. Now Shang-Chi is one of the few characters from those books they can use.

Swinton might be playing a man and/or Asian, though.

They are very similar, but "Magic," as nebulous of a concept as it is, isn't associated with Eastern culture in ways related to Doctor Strange. He's not doing Reiki and rubbing healing powder on Daniel-San, he's conjuring Lovecraft shit.

Maybe so. I just feel like making Spider-Man or the Human Torch black really doesn't change them as characters too dramatically, because race isn't a fundamental part of who they are.

I want this show to embrace the book's origins and be a love letter to blaxploitation. I want it to be BLACK GUNN.

I mean, the modern K'un L'un story is basically MORTAL KOMBAT, an ancient tournament immersed in pseudo Oriental mythology. If it were up to me, it would be a 13 hour Shaw Brothers movie.

How do people feel about Iron Fist potentially being Asian? Supposedly Marvel thinks adapting his comic origin would be politically incorrect.

Aside from the casting of Colter, which was perfect, this is the first piece of news that's gotten me excited about this show. They need to find a role for Jim Brown.

Okay, but that's a bit pedantic. Romero invented the genre. What we think of as a "Zombie" is entirely due to NOLD, and without him, as we both agree, it would be associated with something from Haitian/Creole folklore.
