Probably old news but whatever. Let's bring it back.
Spidey Back in Black? Gotta say it would be a cheap shot. Thanks to a fellow guild member I believe we are know that we have a ton of real Black super heroes and this is just a cheap shot. (Much like Hancock) There's no real reason to mess with this character racial background to fix the racial quota. Instead, Marvel can find some to produce, direct, and star as The Black Panther, a stand alone Storm, Static Shock, or the Black Green Lantern.
This is probably going to sound closed-minded but just like I can't believe some white kid becoming a Kung-Fu, Washu, or judo master in a matter of weeks; I also can't believe some Black guy in Queens as our favorite nerdy Super hero. It messy with the whole persona really.
Plus, will MJ still be a fair skinned red haired girl or a Black chick with red braids. (No matter how far we think we come if it's an interracial deal this movie will get the "treatment") As personally, I don't want to see Save the Last Dance meets Spider-man nor do I want to see one my favorite Super-Heroes easing down the road. (Or I suppose in his case swinging down the road.)
rolleyes Seriously, let him stand a dorky white kid from NYC. Nothing wrong with that. He doesn't need to get a skin change. (Nor did Nick but that's besides the point now) Hollywood needs to stop being lazy and just give us a real superhero.
If the Wanye's bros and Mr. Townsend could do it? Can't Marvel?
