I know this is a very minority opinion here, but I was really let down by the Tick reboot. I am more excited to see a second Boys season than any more Tick.... I think it was just a nostalgia thing for me though.

Aye, first thing I thought of with this was Agents of SHIELD... although I imagine Jeph Loeb had no idea that Daisy Johnson was Asian at the start of the series. The character’s actor, Chloe Bennett, specifically goes by Chloe Bennett instead of her given name (Chloe Wang, her father’s name is Bennett Wang) to avoid…

This seems like a perfect time and place to remind everyone that Marvel’s current EiC is a white man who pretended for years to be a Japanese man so he could write “Japanese stories.”

He stole a ship, that technically makes him a pirate, right?

You’d think a guy whose theme is kites would want to stay away from someone whose theme is trees. It’s just common sense. It was bound to end badly for him.

Welcome to Kotaku, from the people who spoiled Batman: Arkham City’s ending on the front page.

Exactly.

Remember how awesome old school io9 was? I miss everything before this Kinja crap. 

It’s the worst on mobile. The absolute worst. Seriously considering deleting my bookmarks and going to the verge or engadget (also the content is more tech focused which is what this political blog used to be about 1.5 decades ago).

Isn’t this a bit much? If every character in animation needs to be played by someone of their respective ethnicity, then I guess we have to recast Bart and Lisa as well?

To be blunt: this site is becoming impossible to use. Huge ads, auto play video that stays locked on top, making text hard to read... I suppose the writers don’t like it either, because surely you didn’t sign up to be writers for a promo rag, so please, please try to do something about it. Screenshot from Chrome on…

There is no monolithic black experience. There are black people that grew up in different environments around different people and gravitated towards different interests. This goes for every race. It goes for white people.

If you took Friends and made an all black cast you'd have "Living Single"

Alt title, “Through short sighted racial bias studios unwittingly saved career of unknown black woman”

Yeah, like THAT would have improved the trainwreck that the movie was...Josh Trank didn’t “get” the Fantastic Four. They didn’t feel like a family, the whole film had a lousy color scheme, and above all, it wasn’t fun, and a superhero film is, in general supposed to be fun. ESPECIALLY the Fantastic Four, which…

The thing is, the guys demanding the Snyder cut LOVE MoS and BvS as if they were mana from heaven. I have seen too many people to count that follow Snyder say without a hint of sarcasm that his version of Superman in MoS is exactly the version they’ve wanted their entire lives. That he understood the character better…

It’s somewhat refreshing that he asked for, rather than demanded, special treatment, and (apparently) didn’t make a fuss when the answer was “no.”

I’m strangely excited about this movie and have an even stranger desire to support it. That said...

I have refrained from posting on io9 for a long time. A long time. However, I decided to break that streak after such a significant duration just to share the reaction which your comment elicited in me.
