There are 3 elements that are why they aren't successful . 1. Some of the writers can't really related to the people who they'er trying to connect to. 2. The black people that write some of these story can't related either becasue most of them weren't raise by the black community so they can't related at all. 3.The writer either a good writer but didn't do there research.
NAILED IT‼️
Were raised by the black community? What?
They also like to tell the black writer that their black experience won’t connect with the audience, therefore let a white person do it! (This happens A LOT in the creative field and honestly the None-BLK Audacity is beyond me.)
It seems to me that the hero just happens to be black or just make a good story no matter the race is a cop out to white supremacy. Kal-el's story is not generic, mainstream, or normal because he looks like a white male. His is a story of how white male immigrants can more adapt easily into American and earth society. Contrast that story with martian manhunter or nightcrawler of the xmen. Those characters as well as black characters will never be as accepted by white audiences. Black creators and fans need to accept that fact and create/support stories indended for smaller but no less relevant audience of color. Martha Washington, Excellence, Tuskegee Heirs, Infinitum, The Antagonists, Akolyte, Steamfunk and many others or black facing stories that address the Black/African condition. The "mainstream" companies focus on white condition and their audiences for the most part don't care about non white stories. The proof is in the sales figures.
This is why I can't read white superhero or supervillain. I couldn't relate to them.
FAX! EVERYBODY, ESPECIALLY US NEED TO MAKE OUR OWN AUDIENCE THAT WILL SUPPORT OUR OWN STORIES AND BRING THEM TO MAINSTREAM.
Spilled. They will never support us, we need to support our own and just stop supporting them. Also, race has to do with EVERYTHING. So you cannot write a black story and not address race at least ONCE or TWICE.
@@SANGO697 I only like Scarlet Witch and a few other white characters, but that’s very few. I also heard Scarlet Witch was originally supposed to be a Darkskin Romanian women first.
@@fucktiktok631 Yup, The music industry for example Hip-Hop, R&B, Jazz, etc! But they, per usual, always try to whitewash them say it’s going mainstream.
Thank you bro I been saying this just tell a story
I love Black people and black contact but above all when it comes to storytelling make sure for my Black people that the story is written well
You hit the nail on the head, just tell a story that doesn't try to promote or induce an agenda.
Your synopsis is true..in addition to this our Vast culture PRIOR to slavery is RARELY explored..
Black Characters don't sell because people don't want them outside of the black community and even then , the black community grew up with non-black characters and don't want to see black characters. And to the people who say just write a good story , that ish don't work if it did it would do well.
People forget racist don’t care about the humanity of BLK PPL. So depicting them as humans would make them even MADDER.
THANK YOU!!! I’m glad you admitted that black folks won’t even read black stories!! This is the absolute truth!
You have a gift on telling these stories from our perspective. Do you read any black indie comic books? There’s a lot of great work out there and with your breakdowns would be great for the culture.
That's what I'm trying to do
You’re correct about Black Villains. In the big two they don’t get a push. I wish Marvel would do more with Chemistro, Moses Magnum, Nightshade, Dr Elliot Franklin and some others but you need writers with more foresight to do so!
Same way with cartoons and regular books. If they are not in a sports jersey, or have have braids,or gold teeth or jewelry, then they are usually the scary type or just clown around too much. Bern tired of seeing that, video games as well, if not a boxer then either a thug or some kind of clown with jewelry or a jersey on.
That’s precisely my point, we have far more range and People utilize in a lot of media and I just want them to write better stories first before they decide to introduced on agenda which I think is important to talk about but also a good story should be the primary moving force
What are you talking about? That is such bs you sound like these racist white comic writers and movie producers who make up these same lousy excuses to keep from making comic and movies that would appeal to black demographics.
@@3rdEyeMangekyoRinnegan Telling a good story is something unfortunately they don’t use in black stories. I said I think it’s important we address these issues but let’s be honest even amongst our own people, stories get stale because they focus ONLY on the issues and not so much the story. We need both.
So you are telling me that every poc should always have gold chains, and sports jerseys on, and talk with slang because that's what we all want to see and be like?
@@AltFactuals Hollywood pushes that crap out, it isn't created by us. They created this narrow view of black people then say it's what we want to see when in reality it Caucasians who go to see these Buffoonish images of black ppl (Which is why they shoved Kevin hart in every other movie). Imagine if you own a restaurant, and only made cheese pizza then claim it's the only thing ppl wanted dispite ppl in the neighborhood going to other restaurants.
That's what Hollywood is doing to us with these trash movies. No one ever talks about the tons of screenplays written by black men, and women that end up in the trash simply because the scripts didn't fit their narrative of how they want to portray us.
Yo John Campea was sooo upset about "The Harder they Fall's Success. I've never seen him that upset. Maybe the image of ⬜s were too unimportant?🤷
Wait, what happened!?
I’d like to see you cover the milestone comics past and present. Those comics are exactly what you were talking about in this video where they are great stories starring black characters.
That thumbnail tho 👀. I need that picture in that thumbnail 🖤🤴🏿
This is what I’ve been saying the whole time don’t beat the reader upside the racism and discrimination. Racism and discrimination has its moments and thing but for the most part tell a good story for readers and everyone not jus one group everybody
I really want more good storytelling vs agenda heavy stories. There's a balance that should exist but more often than not doesn't. I'd love for that to change.
What agenda stories?
Thank goodness I found your channel. It’s impossible finding POC comic channels without any incel bullshit from the pale skin people. The truth of the matter is black people don’t read their own work so how do we expect anyone else to respect the craft. I know some black creators who write comics of just white characters… so we already know what their mindset is. I can’t name any black story outside of Spawn that is top tier writing and the writer isn’t even black. No matter the culture it’s about the story but our culture IS our story (oppression is only one piece of our story, but we are all multi dynamic)
Thank you for sharing this!!!!
The Harder They Fall had it's problems. There are definitely some colorism issues and some historical innacuracies. I expected better from a black production.
By no means is it a perfect film but I’m not very specific regard I think it fits very well
Agreed. The light skin love interest was so typical.
We already knows how this works for people of color the writing of characters as just humans whatever reasons try to continue to Spread or make the issues of being a different culture the one that sparks a character not just a good story that it wouldn’t make a difference who or what the race of the person was it was the hero
They whenever we’re being depicted as humans, it’s being told in the media as “too political”.
Sounds like you want black stories without black people... Nobody ever says xmen comics focus too much on the mutant struggle.
Maybe you aren’t familiar with my videos but I only do black content, I want black content but I do believe there is a proper way to do it so that way people don’t always feel like they’re being bombarded with a message regarding racism even though it is important to talk about there is a way to do it comfortably
@@AltFactuals Im a huge fan of your content bro... But to invite writers to make white stories but with black people is to ignore the whole point of black stories to begin with.
@@AltFactuals and I dont think making black stories more comfy for white people's consumption is the way forward
You are missing the point
@@itsbeyondme5560 enlighten me.
