Movies that gross $1 Billion can still be poopy, just so you know. Box office is not an indicator of quality filmmaking.

We're supposed to believe there were black Samurais in Japan hundreds of years ago when historically there was ONE black person who was essentially the samurai's caddy.
So black people have only a couple of mainstream superheroes to represent them, but because of a black samurai in some undisclosed film, they should have black superheroes taken away from them?
Actually it was in the game Assassin's Creed.
And if there are so few black superheroes, why aren't more simply created? Are they going to do a race and gender swap and make Wonder Woman into a black Wonder Man? Would that be a big hit with audiences? Maybe they should've done African-American She-Hulk? Or would it be racist for a black woman to become green skinned every time she gets catcalled?

This is true, Barbie didn't make a billion because it was a great movie, but because millions of 10 year old girls needed parents take them to the theater so it became 2-3 admissions per instead of 1. Top Gun: Maverick still seems to be the only one that broke that record of its own merit, and I say this as someone who has zero interest in Top Gun or Tom Cruise for that matter. But people wanted it, and they turned out in droves for it, and to this day I've never heard one person complain about it.

So this is a video game discussion all of a sudden? I don't know anything about Assassin's Creed, and I've already said many times I'm not watching your right wing grifter videos. Looking through the characters on wikipedia, I don't see many Japanase, so why does their appropriation only matter to you when it comes to a black guy? And it doesn't matter if you race or gender swap an existing character or create a new one, you guys are gonna winge regardless. Don't even pretend the Black Panther movie didn't receive "woke" complaints. Captain Marvel is likewise an original character that youtube morons/evil geniuses nevertheless were able to cultivate a living by posting three videos a day whining about.

Was any 'whining' done by black people?

If they did, it's a little understandable after 100 years of dubious representation. It's been less than a decade of this "woke" stuff and it's driven your ilk insane, and it's not even like white men aren't still the dominate representation in movies.

Uh... should I bother pointing out that the largest self-identifying ethic group in Cuba is WHITE? You thought most Cubans were black?! No wonder this argument made no sense from the beginning.
That's your assumption. I'm the one pointing out movies that are actually GOOD, can do it without having to make everybody feel represented. How many gay people do you think like Scarface? But there are no gay characters in it. So why do they like it? Why do black people like a movie that doesn't have any black people in it? We're told today this is not a thing, it's not acceptable, a movie HAS to have gay characters if we want gay viewers to watch it or it's just oppressive. Jaws, a movie with only white people, who as far as we can tell, are all straight, $476 million box office. First Star Wars with no Lando, no Asian Imperials, no lesbian witches, $775 million, which adjusted for inflation, would be a $4 billion box office movie today. The FIRST Toy Story with no gay characters, $373 million. E.T., no gays, no blacks, no Asians, etc., $360 million. Batman (1989), white heroes, white villains, very minor role for Billy Dee Williams, $400 million. The original Ghostbusters, 1 black guy, no Hispanics, no Asians, no gays, no kickass women characters who upstage the men, $230 million. So you think the ONLY people going to these movies looked like the starring actors?
I guess you're right, we don't need anyone but white people in film. Let me flip this around for you. Would any of the films you mentioned have been worse if there were characters of different ethnicities? Why does this stuff bother you so much? Is there a shortage of white people in film or television right now? Why does it make you so angry to see those of a different ethnicity or sexual orientation on the screen? Are there that many movies with a gay character now? Maybe there are and I just don't notice because I don't give a shit? Is the character interesting? Is the actor capable? That's what matters to me.

The Black Panther persona is passed from monarchs in an African state. Are there trans Asian monarchs in Africa?

You know where there are a lot of black people? The modern world that we inhabit. But you apparently don't want to see them in any movie. Jaws, Scarface, ET, Toy Story, all better without black people, right? Who needs 'em? They don't belong in ancient Japan, they don't belong in fictional worlds, and they sure as shit don't belong on your television. Same with gays, Asians or anyone else that isn't exactly like you. I get it now. You're a 64 year old woman from rural Iowa who's never been 30 miles from her hometown other than that one trip to a National Park when you were 12.

That's probably what a lot of this boils down to. A lot of the other usual suspects in these debates are from places like Canada and the UK. It's harder to find the presence of black people unusual when you see them every day.
