Stop your group think. These made up fictional characters are all supposed to be white males like they were pre-2012.

I can agree with Blzer on his CGI critique on Black Panther. To me the first action scene is a little unpolished, but the rest of the movie settled down enough to not be a hindrance to me. Nothing about the writing stands out to me so I'm not sure what holes he's referring to. I do agree Into The Spider Verse was the best super hero movie that year and one of the best since The Dark Knight.

He lost me with The Last Jedi and Batgirl, though.

And Award Winners have been bringing up politics and morals since the first award ceremony. Not to mention the abundance of movies that have been nominated for various things primarily for their social influence.

If we’re comparing 10 years of Marvel movies to a one (now two) off animated Spiderverese or an Oscar award director’s take on a three movie, self-contained, Batman series…I mean what are we doing?

The marvel movies are and should be held to a different standard. They’re not standalone. They’re not one offs. They’re legitimately years of planning.

What Batgirl movie are you guys talking about? I know one is supposedly coming (they announced the lead for it today) but I'm not aware of one otherwise.

I like the Leslie Grace pick. She's a great singer as well.

Every time I wanna get rid of HBO Max, good stuff just keeps getting added or announced.

Sorry, I mean the Batwoman TV series (that had Ruby Rose in Season 1).

And I should've been more careful when stating The Last Jedi. I actually wasn't talking about Rey, but rather the inclusivity factor that Rian Johnson threw in there for some of the other actors/characters.

I also don't believe that Nolan went out there searching for a black lead. Given that it literally had nothing to do with his character, I'd say he just found the best man for the job. I'd understand if there was a decision that Bruce Wayne had to be white or something, but unless he was playing an inversion-like theme that Tenet needed a black and white set of leads, I'm not buying that his search was for anything else other than talent, and he saw it in JDW.

Anyway, feel free to ignore the examples if you'd like. I still stand by my statements made surrounding them.

• Caucasian unknown
• Guy Pierce, Carrie-Anne Moss, Joe Pantoliano
• Al Pacino, Robin Williams, Hillary Swank
• Christian Bale, Liam Neeson, Cillian Murphy, Katie Holmes, Michael Caine, Gary Oldman, Ken Watanabe, Morgan Freeman
• Christian Bale, Hugh Jackman, Scarlett Johansson
• Bale, Caine, Ledger, Aaron Eckhart, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Oldman, Freeman
• DiCaprio, Hardy, Murphy, Page, Watanabe
• Bale, Caine, Hardy, Oldman, Freeman, Cotillard
• McConaughey, Chastain, Hathaway
• Bunch of Caucasians unknowns
• John David Washington, Robert Pattinson

Lets put it this way, when I saw who was leading Tenet I definitely "noticed" it.

And I love Nolan, by the way.
