    I don't love static because I'm black, I love static because he's amazing. Closest hero to spiderman in DC.

      Christian Venson I love Static because he's Black and amazing. Growing up watching Superfriends, Superman tAS and Batman tAS, then Justice League, it was amazing to have a whole show about a super hero that looked like my people. Before that, it was hard to even conceive that Blacks could be super heroes. The fact that the cartoon was so massively popular even with a Black lead was also amazing. Static paved the way for us getting a full featured Black Panther movie. Static is an Icon both because he's an amazing character and because he's a Black super hero.

      Tarell Hudson no disrespect but Wesley Snipes' Blade did that in '98...you could say he saved/started the MCU and comic book movies in general...I love Static, he had an awesome show and when he started rolling with JL, I was like 'fuckin finally!!!'...and now I learn he was supposed to be in Injustice 2??!! Cmon man!!! Wtf...

      DRoyale1 Blade was definitely a great stride forward but he was not a hero. He took lives and enjoyed it. He was badass but Static was a true hero. Able to stand beside the Man of Steel and the Bat.

      but does he? the cartoon was doing well, great ratings and everything but it wasn't doing well enough with merch to be profitable.
      none of the previous static runs have been considered successful from a business standpoint, just from his small loyal group of fans. and let's be honest, that group is small.

      Dayle Norris They use them just enough to avoid having to give the rights back to Milestone, similar to how Fox makes a Fantastic Four movie just often enough to avoid losing the rights back to Marvel.

    This is so messed up. Static is a icon for not only black people, but for every person in the world that feels like a minority. This character gave us not only great entertainment, but taught us life lessons. He was the greatest person that D.C. made. Just because his toys didn't sell. That's no reason to obliterate the character entirely. All we want is to give a character that we all love his rightful place in the D.C. Universe.

    • @SgtTwilight

      I can agree with that. I was a white kid who lived in rural NC but I still felt very out of place at school. While everyone else was into hunting and Nascar, I was into cartoons and toys. Static Shock came on and showed heroism in a different light, Static wasn't a brooding loner like Batman or a god among men like Superman, he was a teenager who got bullied, had geeky hobbies, and realistic family problems.
      Many people love Spiderman for that same reason, and that's totally fair, but I didn't grow up with Spidey, I grew up with Static.

      @TheSylveonSurfer 7 років тому +9

      I'm not a huge DC fan but growing up as an only kid in a lower, middle class family with very few friends, I turned to shows and games for inspiration and guidance as my parents were divorced and busy working. And where games brought me Spyro, Pokemon, Crash Bandicoot and other miscellaneous series that I still hold dear to this day... The shows I watched really defined the genres and media that I would seek out later in life.
      Static Shock, Teen Titans, The X-Men Animated Series, He-Man. I watched all these as a kid and they stuck with me throughout everything else I've ever watched. Those shows came out at a time when the creators still gave a rat's ass about the intelligence of their viewers and didn't try to insult us by crapping out poorly crafted shows. Not to say that their aren't still good shows coming out but they're few and far between the mindless dribble when compared to the shows when I was growing up. Again... Not to say that there aren't well crafted and clever shows out now and even pointless and mindless shows back then but everything from when I was growing up had so much charm. Like the creators actually cared about their work and not the dollar sign. Or at least they understood that a well crafted series will sell regardless.
      Static was a personal hero for as well. And while I'm not a fan of the racial debate as I grew up in an incredibly diverse area with a great mother who was capable of seeing past such things and focus on a person's actions... (I digress)... Static did still influence me alot. I had wanted to be like him for a long time. What wasn't to like about him? He was smart and funny with a die-hard, life-long friend. Such things were what I envied. But I moved away from what few friends I had. My mom re-married to an amazing guy who I'm proud to call my (step)father and we moved into the hills. I didn't have many opportunities to socialize in the hills as most people, while friendly, just wanna be left alone. That's why they moved there.
      So, Static is still one of my favorite heroes. And that's coming from a Marvel fan. I also, love the Teen Titans immensely as I still watch both shows. =D

      biggs949597 s well, he was a good character though, just not really pushed very hard. Characters like modern comics black panther aren't good, & that's why they don't sell, not because of race, but because of obvious pandering to a demographic that's not buying the books in the first place. Most comic fans don't care what race the character is as long as it's original & has a good story, & static had both of those things. Him being black is a solid theory as to why it didn't do well... But it's easily debunked. I also apologize for that guy calling you a snowflake & strawmanning you with the "white genocide" thing.. Not sure where that came from, but I'm guessing he has issues.

      I think DC should just go for the gusto, and put Static in a DC movie just throw him in but do it right. I think he deserves more than just a small part. I can literally see both Virgil and Richie coming out of the blue, suiting up and jumping in to action and taking over the screen for a few seconds. I can see Static flying in on his hover disc thing, or make it comedic and have him use a trash can lid for nostalgia. I'm sure everyone can see him as a good fit. It's similar to Black Panther in a way. Every fan knows he would work, he is a very popular character and Marvel said "let's do it" they did it and look where we're at with him. Static Shock can do the same if done right

  • @wJermell0
    @wJermell0 6 років тому +51

    So what I'm getting as the jist is... DC has to pay a little bit to essentially rent Static from Milestone and pay each time they use him so they probably don't want to if he's not selling that well. On the flipside Milestone can't use Static while DC is renting him out and DC keeps thinking that maybe they'll want to use Static so they use him just often enough to stop the character from going back to Milestone? So we get a situation where everyone wants Static but nobody wants to pay for him.

    Static rightfully belongs to Milestone so they deserve to govern what happens to him, he is technically their baby. The problem is that big companies like DC and Marvel are in the limelight to much and overshadow some really good companies such as Image and TopCow comics. Other companies deserve the spotlight too and the rights over their works.

    People seem to be avoiding this issue: Milestone made a mistake by sharing their characters with DC.
    No matter how you slice it, Milestone is their competition. It's not always about money. They saw how popular Milestone characters were with the Black demographic, so they arranged a deal Milestone thought would give them exposure, but instead DC used a contract to sit on their characters so Milestone can't make a dime from them. Black superheroes got f#### by greedy DC.

Dc were selling new 52 static comics and publish other milestone characters. The new 52 static wasn't that good since the creator died. This happens to every independent comic book company. So don't try to pander race into this fictional world.

DC is just giving them enough bread to keep them alive, but that's it, and a powerful enough company like DC knows that.

You seem to forget that DC will only publish what THEY (DC) like and not what Milestone like. That right there limits to what Milestone could. Tbh, Static is just a great character that he would be "the Spiderman" for DC.

    White Aussie dude here, collected the entire Milestone line, loved them, especially Static and Icon. Great, original characters, good stories, great art. Wasn't til later I learned I wasn't supposed to like them, as they were "black comics" (I'm sure Boogeyman would disagree, from blood Syndicate for those who forget), but it never occured to me. I just like what i like, and out of a lot of the drok from the 90's, these were GREAT. The only disappointment was the gradual cancelling of the various lines. It was the 90's. Bad time. But it was great to see people create original, likeable, characters. Hell, Holocaust was an awesome villain. No "rule the world" nonsense, he just wanted to rule his city, like the boss he was. Got excited a few years back at rumours it (Milestone) was returning, but kinda given up expecting much more. Much like with the Ultraverse, great memories, but it seems to be all we're gonna get

      yes static was way more popular. and xiaolin showdown did get another season 10 years after. the later season of xiaolan showdown was made by a different company ActionFliks. the original contract with WB was most likely for 52 episodes. im betting the reason xiaolin showdown was able to make a extra season. was because it wasn't part of the WB and or DC. ActionFliks probably got the licence and contract for very cheap. but static IS part of DC. as static has appeared in static shock, justice league, young justice. batman beyond, zeta project, and teen titans.
      pokemon was produced in japan and not made by WB. WB just bought the licence to show pokemon.
