I don’t know anything about the storyline, but it sucks that you can’t get an honest review of the film without provoking public backlash. If I paid for Hollywood movies anymore, this would bother me as a consumer.

In general, I kind of resent the idea of a superhero in which his/her race is central to the character, and the idea that his name is shared by a modern-day black supremacist organization isn’t helping either. I realize this character was created long ago, but I don’t think those considerations would be overlooked if this were a reboot of a sort of X-men group of white superheroes called The Clan.

I saw Stanley Leiber (Stan Lee) speak a few years ago and about all he had to say was that “Marvel has a new superhero (or heroine) coming out who’s Indian, or Latino, or Asian, or muslim, or...”

And each demographic in the audience cheered.
