Funny how Robin used to be hated and viewed as "useless" due to the campy 60's Batman show and the Batman Forever/Batman and Robin movies.

However when Robin is written well, like in Batman: TAS, Teen Titans or Young Justice, the character is loved. Dick Grayson is one of the coolest superheroes ever even when he's still Robin.

It's a shame the general public still views Robin as a terrible character which is why the idea of him was mocked in the Nolan films and why he may never be in a movie again. Yet in the cartoons and comics the various Robin characters are loved.

Oh, he's not that bad. I've always liked his backstory and the idea that he's in this weird, unknown African country, and I think that he could be in his own movie if the pacing was done right.

Was anyone even paying attention to Winter Soldier? Falcon is going to be in the next Avengers. And we have Fury, of course. So much for the "all-white meat" roster! Personally, I'd like to see Carol Danvers get some screen love. One of my all-time favorite Avengers, and we're getting Wanda and Pietro before HER! (And yes, I know they were some of the earliest Avengers, but she's much better known- I mean, she's named for the very company that created her!)

Name a film that's better than Avengers then? We can definitely tear it apart and tell you what's not good about it too.

I find it funny that we minorities are the ones who are like "who cares about too many white people".

Constantine?

You mean the ripoff of Hellblazer where they didn't even pronounce the main character's name correctly?

Don't get me wrong, I'll forever thank that movie for giving us Tilda Swinton as "The Brat" and for putting Rachel Weiss in a bath tub with a black bra/white shirt, but there's nothing what so ever good about that movie when compared to the source material.

I can tear them all apart except Kil Bill Vol 1 and 2. Those are precious to me and yes, perhaps even better than The Avengers.

Watching that movie hurts so bad. I really hope the new upcoming show treats Constantine with a little more respect.

I don't think it's very fair to complain about secondary characters from a movie continuing to be secondary characters in the sequel.

I really never noticed. The movies have had black characters. But, if they'd changed the race of any of the Avengers, people would've crapped their pants. Black Panther would probably be cool. I'd like to think he'll show up eventually. But I'd rather have Captain Marvel...
