Damn irritating. Women are fine as hell though.

Masons are pretty terrible too. I get into it with Anglophiles every now and again.

Yo, in highschool, I had my people, we stuck together the way you do right - but the one orange haired kid, and his freaky sister...the **** people did to them.

So anytime people bring race into the conversation, I think about that kid.

A'int nothing worse, c'ept being a ginger midget maybe. Can you imagine March 17? Every damn year...

Would be tough. Would be real tough....

Let's pour one out... For the orange haired freak and his sister/wife.
My man.

I just hope they are main characters also not just heroes that pop in now and then.

Shhh!!

C'mon now, we're pouring one out!
We need a minute of silence!


See...no respect. It's a crime.

Funny in a sense, but it's important to note that that's simply not a good way to judge if a show, book, movie, or thing, is "Good" or "Bad". Things don't gain or lose merit and/or value because of how closely they adhere to an arbitrary Standards Of Inclusion checklist. That's why that particular comment invited a reaction.

Plus, it sounds horrible when flipped upside down. If a person were to say, "I'll only support a show with at least three white characters", nobody even has to point out why that's a bad thing to say. And it goes both ways. That really shouldn't be part of one's criteria regardless.

If it's a good show it'll be because it's well-executed, and if it's poor it will be because it's poorly executed. Not because it has "One Of Everyone" or not. That's absolutely not what ever makes anything good or bad, better or worse. They could just as well meet the imaginary numbers of acceptable inclusion, and the show could still be horribly written, in which case all that would matter is that it was bad.

It probably won't be bad, though. For some reason I expect something more like Brave and the Bold but with less focus on just Batman. So probably skewed a little younger than JLU, but along the same lines. Like I said, I prefer a show called "JLA" be focused on the actual JLA, not be a generic "DC Universe" show, which is what this is more likely to be, but in the end, it can be mislabeled but still be a good show. I just hope it doesn't skew TOO young. Young Justice was a little gloomy but something a few shades lighter than that wouldn't be bad. Frankly, if I had any say in it, JL/JLU never would've ended. Can't have everything, sadly.

I guess you are right in a way, I just have been so impatient lately when it comes to more diversity.

The Vixen show just upset me because, we FINALLY got a black girl hero, something I would have loved as a kid....but it's not even given the chance to be on TV or at least have a longer show....and I know it's because she's not a well-known hero.....but then if Vixen can't be given a full show then what black female can? (that's a superhero)....heck I'd take an animated movie.

Maybe she will cameo in live action...who knows...but an animated show would have been a dream come true.

Still I'll be sad if the new JLA show doesn't have some diversity regardless of how well it does.

The Justice League doesn't leave much more room for Diversity than what Bruce Timm's JL show didn't already have. The only other option is having the "JLU" scenario that JLU used as did Young Justice. Now that we're moving on from the topic of race and back to the show, I actually do think this show will have plenty of racial diversity, I think this will be a "DC Friends" show more than a proper JL show. I mean we don't know anything about the show yet but I do think it'll be like the Trapped in Time JL DTV and the two Batman Unlimited videos. I haven't seen them yet but apparently they're fairly entertaining even if not "adult".

Well I think you're lucky to even be getting that, what female superhero gets her own show or movie? Not very often since it's a tough sell so when you add a C-list hero and black to it you're lucky to even be getting that. I don't really care much for Vixen but it's cool in my book she's getting this and I'm sure she'll eventually appear in one of the three live action CW shows, maybe even become a regular in one of them. Sadly I don't see Supergirl lasting very long either and she's probably as iconic if not more than Wonder Woman and Agent Carter probably won't last long either. These are products aimed mostly at boys and there's already too much superhero stuff on TV.

Really hope the show does well~ (we need more awesome superhero shows again) no point in having tons of diversity if no one likes and watches the show afterall
