I recommend that comic series so much. It was pretty disturbing, yeah. But well written.
Holy crap. They went there. They really went there.
Isaiah from ep2 of fatws? That’s Isaiah Bradley, the protagonist of the miniseries Truth: Red, White & Black, written by Robert Morales and drawn by Kyle Baker–a.k.a. the heaviest, most disturbing comic series I’ve ever read.
Basically: during WWII, 300 black American soldiers are taken, against their will, to parttake in the super soldier serum experiment (the remaining soldiers in their camp are killed). Only five survives, all the others die in agony. The five remaining are taken to Europe to fight (basically treated like dogs), where four of them die in various ways, until only Isaiah remains. He steals the costume meant for Steve Rogers, and goes to a concentration camp to destroy the German branch of the supersoldier program (there is a gas chamber scene. It makes your chest constrict and your heart clench), he succeeds but then is taken hostage and brought to Hitler, who plans to dissect him to reverse-engineer the serum. He is freed, but then court martialed for stealing the uniform, and setenced to prison. He is freed after nearly twenty years, and becomes a legend amongst black people, while no-one else really knows about him. Steve leanrs about his existence in present time (the series was released in 2003) and visits him–by then the serum has mosty destroyed Isaiah’s body and mind.
The whole thing is way more disturbing than what is seen on the show, and that was already plenty disturbing.
How did they not think, “Oh, the first superhero movie to be nominated for an academy award was BLACK PANTHER, maybe these other POC lead movies/shows could do well if we went back and saw what we did right in Black Panther, and use some of the same techniques”
people forget that marvel is a BUSINESS. marvel brings disney a shit ton of money, so they’re gonna do what they can to make money- including expanding the universe as much as they can.
they’re going to promote what they believe will sell. based on their shitty treatment of poc, they dont believe poc movies/projects will sell.
dont believe me? look at their promotion for shang chi, t’challa’s what if episode, sam wilson as captain america
it pisses me the fuck off that poc have continuously have to fight for their spot in media. and have to do their own promotion and marketing. we deserve to have just as much spotlight.
the disney ceo called shang chi an experiment bc it’s going to be released exclusively in theatres- like almost every other marvel project? shut the fuck up dude
