Just sayin' a Hollywood Reporter article point blank says Spellman assembled "an almost all black writers room".
Of course Isaiah would be bitter. Reminds me of a documentary where some WW 2 Japanese pilots visited Pearl Harbor, as act of peace. Some Americans could take their hands, accepting they were all soldiers. Others could not, thinking of the friends that died that day.
But that assumes I accept the character as introduced at all, which I don't. Even the base comic Truth is basically co-opting Captain America and Bucky' s origins. And wish the MCU would cut this kind of stuff out, same as, oh, that the original Avengers name, of course, came from Carol Danvers, along with the Fury eye thing.
Cribbing on other and better work, just undermines whatever you are trying to do. Just because you trot a character out and tell me how things are doesn't make me believe. Overselling kills the buzz. I know why the Truth comic was created. Well, OK.
But you are basically riffing on Captain America, again. And this series doubled down; ok, apparently Isaiah is the ONLY person up to CW who can find this ghost assassin; AND he can break an arm that took a direct blast from an arc reactor to remove
; AND he was tortured for 30 years (note the series pays blip attention to Bucky' s sisters or his torture - Sam the former counselor sure doesn't give a #+%); and it was A-OK for Bucky - because as a white guy, he gets a new arm, as the series takes a shot at inequitable health care.
Sure, bring up race, hunger, disease, climate change, in a comic book movie. For me tho, flat out, Spellman & company, and producer Nate Moore ignored character personalities we've known since 2011 and 2014. Both Bucky and Falcon behave in ways to me are like fan fiction. They put out stuff about Sam Wilson that to me make no sense. I don't even like the guy much in this series. But Spellman served up the messaging with a shovel; even getting a former POW with PTSD to apologize for being insensitive
. Are u kidding. That's when I had had it with the series, tho it steamrolled on, with boring action and a cringe speech.
So, a lot of people like the series. Wow, it deals with ISSUES. IMO deals with them so badly, along with the main characters, I'm passing on new figs of fav characters, and can only hope Loki is better done and less of a mess.
