They said Antman and GOTG will flop. Look how they turn out. Both are sequels. Doctor Strange will be no different. And speaking of race why didn't DC cast a POC as Batman because Batman has reboots then Spider-man with white man.

Okay, first of all, I never said Doctor Strange will flop. It’s honestly a guaranteed success because anything Marvel makes will make money.

But…I’m confused about your message. Are you happy that this incredibly racist movie is going to be successful? Are you getting a kick out of that? I’m sorry if you are.

And are you saying that Marvel can’t be criticized for this movie based on Asian culture with no Asians in the cast (and also white washed Asian characters) because…DC didn’t cast a black man as Batman? The Spiderman point is stupid too. I certainly wish they had used Miles Morales instead of Peter Parker, but I haven’t even talked about Spiderman lately so I don’t know why you’re bringing that up.

But back to your point about not casting a black man as Batman, yeah, that would have been great to see. But I like how you’re ignoring all of the characters DC HAS racebent. Shall I name them for you? Because you seem ignorant about this topic.

Jason Momoa as Aquaman. Jason is Native American and Hawaiian, and has spoken at length about how proud he is to represent his roots in this movie, and his some Hawaiian culture, such as his tattoos, are being incorporated into the DCEU Aquaman lore.

Gal Gadot is an Israeli actress.

Will Smith is playing Deadshot.

Adam Beach, who is Native American, is playing Slipknot.

And I’m not even mentioning the canon POC characters that DC is bringing into their movies such as Amanda Waller, Katana, El Diablo, and Cyborg.

So please, don’t come at me with “They didn’t make Batman black” (which yes, would have been great) to act like Marvel is superior when DC has racebent multiple characters while Marvel only whitewashes theirs.
