Bmwolf21 Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 Who'd be outraged? A handfull of CA fans? Sgt. Nick Fury started out in the WWII time period. Cap America started out in the WWII time period. Why is it acceptable to have a black Nick Fury, but it would cause outrage to have a black CA? Doesn't make sense. And I know some comic-book afficionado is going to say "Marvel released a series based on the Sam Jackson re-wroking of Fury." So? I can guarantee you the majority of the movie-going public wouldn't/didn't care that Marvel put out a Nick Fury Sam Jackson issue. Nick Fury, while a popular character in Marvel Comic circles, isn't as iconic to the general public as Captain America is. Therefore IMO changing CA's race would cause more of an uproar than changing Fury's. And come on. A "handfull (sic) of CA fans?" CA is one of the most popular comic book heroes of all-time. There would be plenty of people ticked off about it. But I don't expect to take this much further with you, since you apparently already decided that the movie is going to suck and won't see it. This discussion (IMO) may be one of the most idiotic ever on TBD, and worse yet it doesn't have the comedy of exchange rates, pasta salad, telephone poles or retatta.

RayFinkle Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 Because of a little matter called RACIAL SEGREGATION. It was very popular in the 30's & 40's! So the racial segregation aspect of a movie about a superhuman comic book character would put it over the top? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does this have anything to do with Ron Hornyday (NASCAR) admitting use of testerone cream? He's trying to appeal to a wider audience? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
