Nah, Storm was a pushover in the X-Men movies. I rather see Halle play that role than Angela.
Click to expand...

That was the problem Storm should have never been a pushover.

Fox X-Men did not teach me that Storm was a wimp.

It should've been Sanaa Lathan

She would have been good to.

Never seen it either but I know about it. Its one of those good but depressingly real movies. Like Hotel Rwanda.

Consider you are trying to sell tickets.

Jackman was an unknown at the time, Stewart and McKellan brought the needed acting weight, they needed an action guy and attractive women for commercial appeal. Famke Jessen was the risk, Halle Berry is a safe bet.

Now, for First Class...

The MTV Spider-man's chick was black too.

The only cartoon I liked more during that time period was Batman: TAS. Both were fantastic.
Click to expand...

Real talk. TAS is one of the finest animated series of all time.

I can't wait until they put the 90s X-Men cartoon on Netflix.
Click to expand...

How about the whole series on a site instead?

Oh that one, hah. Yeah, that one is the stuff. I didn't talk to you on the playground if you didn't watch it.

Ha. Now you might see why I wanted Angela Bassett.

This very awesome as well. I was in my early teens when this came out and I think that helping in my appreciation for the show as opposed to my love for 80s cartoons due to being a child.

I was suggesting Sanaa as a better fit as opposed to her bringing in ticket sales. I can still dream though.

One of the reasons why I can't stand the Fox X-Men films, not factoring in the newest one of course.

He could be good :(

KG as Beast in X3 was like the only redeeming part of the film.
Click to expand...

the detail of that costume is horrendous. and lets be fair, the reason hank was awesome in that movie was kelsey grammer. im not sure whats going on in this movie, but it looks like contractual obligations got certain characters in a lock, and they had to fill the gap with ones like angel salvadore...

Boombloxer said:
I know, just sayin. Now they could try it. Back then? No way.

I can also dream that they'll incorporate the version of Captain America's serum coming from the Tuskegee experiment.

Zero shot, but it would make things a little deeper with a black Nick Fury.

just a small reference would be nice. we would be one step closer to young avengers.

So I have been meaning to ask, anyone watch African movies like from Nollywood, South Africa and other parts of Africa. Any opinions on them?
Click to expand...
Nollywood: Very low artistic value as a whole when it comes to cinematography. I saw one Ugandan movie that easily crushed almost all the Nigerian movies I've seen so far (Black & Blue: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q-bZ7HiPcXk). Still enjoy Nigerien movies though.

I went to an Indian student's birthday party at UofI and I was buzzing and I called a black guy who was on campus the N word. Then he came up to the party and we started talking about rappers.

I would have typed black student not black guy on campus but I wasn't completely with it when I wrote this post.

Kyle Barker is Kratos?

I wonder if Overton W. Jones is a famous voice actor too, then? :p

The only other black voice actor I know is the guy that does Samurai Jack...

Khary Payton.

He did Cyborg in Teen Titans, he's now Aqua Lad in Young Justice, and he also did Drebin in Metal Gear Solid 4. He also plays Terrell Jackson on General Hospital, my mother loves that show and the other soap operas.

This dude has an awesome voice. Everytime there's a black character in a game/cartoon I fully expect to hear his voice now.
