I agree that I think John Stewart should be darker skin. It’s not racism, it’s about lack of representation and a belief in Hollywood that darker skinned people aren’t attractive enough or whatever to play popular main roles. However I’m not pressed about it, I will watch whoever plays the roll and be happy lol. To be fair there has been a lot of darker skinned actors playing in marvel rolls. However none have been as important as John Stewart besides black panther. On another note I would like to see Aaron play Martian Manhunter. Lol he’s just as big as David who is playing Superman. Don’t think john Stewart is supposed to be as big as Superman.
Most characters for marvel live action have remain dark skin blacks so that part is true. For dc is less so,on average but overall most characters for comicbook live action are played by dark skin actors.

John Stewart: Green Lantern Appreciation 2024 Johnny said: Seeing complaints about "a light-skinned John Stewart" all over twitter. Why do people care about this stuff? Isn't it more important they're eyeing good actors that fit the bill.
El_Gato said: Let them complain! They’re acting like it’s the 90’s to early 2000’s where it actually was a problem and darker skinned individuals couldn’t get roles, in 2024 however, every Black superhero is dark skin (Monica, Okoye, War Machine, Mr Terrific, Waller, Black Manta, Hawkman, Falcon…etc)… Aaron should get the role imo
@@marvel22-mf1js Now that is the thing. Apart from black panther, None of those characters are important. Like they are sidekicks and not really important for the story.
fr it doesnt matter about race in my eyes if ur just locked up on that then u shouldnt be watching it bruh go watch black panther NO HATE TO black panther its a good movie but its about race and etc. dont watch green lantern if ur complaing btw i agree with u marvel22
It's odd how Pierre has been a rumored frontrunner for weeks but this criticism has seemingly only sprouted up and spread in the past two days. It doesn't seem organic, and it completely ignores any other considerations such as acting ability or screen testing for chemistry that go into casting a role. Also, the prominent casting of Eddie Gathegi as Mr. Terrific in the Superman movie contradicts notions that colorosm plays into DC Studios' casting process.
This is why marvel is successful nobody questioned the roles dc fans care to much about irrelevant things who cares how dark he is if he can act and fit the build personality of the character
Personally I don’t care, I don’t think this will affect our people or the public view on black people negatively. Also Arron is definitely black, or black enough for this role I mean dude has predominantly black features big nose and full lips, I’m dark skin nd his facial features looks more African then mine. he looks like a black man just with lighter skin.
It is completly fair to be upset that Jon Stewart is not played by a dark skin man. There are not alot of high profile black men in hollywood and very few are dark skin. Just because we are all black does not mean, we all look alike. The character has been dark skin consistently for all of its existence. So dark skinned people have a rigth to be upset.
i dont mind race like dont get me wrong make john stewart black but if hes super super dark its fine if he isnt its fine just i hope the actor plays good in the role the only complaint i do have is people are saying DCU IS PUSHING WOKE AND SINCE THEY HATE WHITE MALES THEY PUT HAL JORDAN IN THE BACK AND MADE JOHN STEWART THE MAINLINE GREEN LATERN BECAUSE HES black like what?? that makes no sense
Ultimately it’s not a big deal, but it does kind of suck for dark skinned men that DC is casting yet another black male super hero with a light skinned actor. It’s also like WB does not see dark skinned men as heroic. Honestly it annoys me more Gunn is casting a Brit over an American. There aren’t many black roles and African American actors keep getting passed over black British.
There are more dark or darker skin families shown on tv in america then light skin blacks.Dark skin blacks are the majority of blacks in america. Now over times light skin and bi-racial black light skin families have been shown more often then they were in the past but dark skin blacks have been shown more still in american beauty commercials and tv shows and are still shown more in america.
So there are plenty of dark skin actors in roles in Hollywood. You tend see more black medium tone and black light skin women more then medium tone and light skin black men but most of the black actress are dark skin. You tend see more dark skin black men then dark skin women however in Hollywood roles. Dark skin actress still get most of roles in america.
So yes there is still colorism to a certain extent in hollywood because hollywood is in america(this should be obvious because of america's race history problems and whites are still the major group, duh) and that needs still to be dealt with but don't go overboard to say it's in full effect because it's not.Most black actors are still dark skin,more so the men however. Lighter and medium tone skin actress are just happening to apply more for roles and more are being qualified for it but most of the actresses still in hollywood are dark skinned.By the way some actress and actors you are calling light skin are not really light skin at all.Some are medium tone skin blacks.
As a black person who watched pretty much every black family show from the 80’s up to the kids 00’s… this is absolutely not true. The darkest black family on TV was probably the Evans from Good Times followed by the Winsloes from Family Matters and it has only gotten lighter from there.

As a medium dark skin black man I say fvck the haters. I love this casting 😊

Blacks by the way in Hollywood are over represented and most black actors in Hollywood are dark skin.

There was no colorism at play in the prominent casting of Eddie Cathegi as Mr. Terrific in the Superman movie.
There is a toxic stereotype about lighter men being less masculine. So they want darker skin men to play more masculine role.

Those who are saying that he is black enough are not black people 😂😂 he’s black and I’m black
I am also black. And I quite agree with them. Pierre is a good actor but John Stewart is really a big character. Maybe he can go for Martian Manhunter
Most dark skinned characters will have a light skinned or biracial actor. Colorism is rightly called out.
It's not the case with the prominent casting of Eddie Gathegi as Mr. Terrific in the Superman film.

Bro everyone was recently questioning RDJ as doom, Pedro pascal, Namor, it's been a thing on both sides
They should be questioned. Every single thing. Stop shilling for billion dollar companies
They should be questioned. Every single thing. Stop shilling for billion dollar companies
Marvel fans are the same
Reverse colorism.....he may not be "dark enough" but he is fine enough. Bad casting for hal so need something to get me to watch this show.
Perfect casting for Hal.
Representation and castings in general are reaching a dangerous level of specificity where actors are only going to be allowed to play themselves lol.

There are no light skinned black characters in comics. By this logic Wesley Snipes would get to be a super hero.
They are both 30 years so they both are the finalists
