If you don’t get it it’s tragic but understandable; as we’ve never required much. Our willingness to accept the deletion of the most popular black character in history set a precedent and sent a message to Hollywood.
One that said we don’t even prioritize our own characters so why should you? This is why there is no Armor wars, No Iron Heart and a light skin John Stewart.
Imagine never seeing him again because an actor passed. They would never. They would never rebuild it with his son, or not recast. Wake Up!
