Here it is, proof that no comic book character is too silly or tone deaf to make work. Let no comic book writer ever say a character 'can't work these days' ever again.

>proof that no comic book character is too silly or tone deaf to make work
Didn't we know that already when Rocket Raccoon became popular?

>is too silly or tone deaf to make work
He was changed because he was too silly
Literally a big black guy in white gorilla skin

All they did was not call him 'Man-Ape' and tweak the costume. He was pretty accurate to how Priest wrote him in the later part of his Black Panther run.

Sure, you can make any character work if you change the design and personality in order to fit the story you're telling.

>and personality
You need to read more Black Panther comics.

>is too silly or tone deaf to make work.
You can make it work, but that doesn't mean you can't expect people to take it seriously or even respect.
Nobody's gonna respect someone like Snowflame, Whizzer, or Codpiece

*you can expect people
At best you can have those characters as a dumb joke because of how dumb they are

>Nobody's gonna respect someone like Snowflame, Whizzer, or Codpiece
People said the same thing about Man-Ape, but here we are.

Snowflame could totally work. Just shift the tone around a tad and he could be a decent backup bad guy as a stepping stone towards the main bad guy.

That's because Man-Ape can be taken seriously in the source material and is a respectable adversary of T'Challa
Those three are fucking jokes, even in the comics.
Even Tom King's Kite-Man with all the drama and tragedy in him is still used as a joke for how silly a concept he is

>That's because Man-Ape can be taken seriously in the source material and is a respectable adversary of T'Challa
Tell that to writers like Bendis, who do treat him like a joke villain.

Kite-Man could work in a live-action movie. He'll be part of the opening segment before Batman turns to him for help as a diversion later in the film.

>Kite-Man could work in a live-action movie. He'll be part of the opening segment before Batman turns to him for help as a diversion later in the film.
He'd work as a joke
Because he's silly
Kite-Man is silly

Nobody respect Whizzer even in universe.

Terrible advice, there shit. A lot of MCU characters are shit in the comics, it's the reason why Marvel still had the rights to them, no one else bought them.

Codpiece was never meant to be taken seriously.

You don't even need to shift around the tone that much, at the end of the day he's a flamboyant cartel killer showing signs of stimulant psychosis.

Imagine if The Thing was made of bacon, fried fish, bicycle wheels, and Gamecube boxes.
He's still the same character with the same personality. stories, and struggles but he's made of that shit and not rocks.
Now tell me if that's a character who's not too silly for normalfag audiences.

Wasn't there an comic book character who was literally a pile of garbage?

Being made of random unspecified garbage is less silly than random specific garbage

>Nobody's gonna respect someone like Snowflame

I'm 125% certain that Snowflame could become one of the best and most adored villains with the right actor and director.
Basically, he should be played as a super flamboyant JoJo villain, by a resurrected David Bowie.

and all that had to do to make it happen was make everything else about the movie shit.

>Nobody's gonna respect someone like Snowflame

That's where you're wrong buddy.

I thought Raimi movies did that. Or previous Batman movies.

There's some video essays on that on YouTube.

That's a problem with Bendis

And yet, they avoided calling him Man-Ape.

Porch monkey in an ape suit
Should have called him Double Nigger

>Heroic black man has to team up with the CIA to kill black people who want liberation

black panther of basically Sup Forums's wet dream

They at least called him great gorilla

This angle isn't going to work for you guys

>Who want liberation
What liberation? It isn't the fucking 60s-90s in first world country's and Africa is a shithole because ethnic problems.

Killanigga was retarded and fell for All Blacks Are The Same meme. Wakanda didn't owe other blacks shit.

T. Black Guy

You're copy-pasting this comment in multiple threads in response to multiple positive things people are saying about the movie. You think you're being slick about this?

>it works guise
>he only needed an extremely specific situation in order to work though

>proof that no comic book character is too silly or tone deaf to make work.
Is that why they reworked his entire look, erased his code name and fixed him into a supporting role instead of being a villain?

Give M'Baku sleeves and he'll look like someone out of the X-Men OG trilogy.

Whizzer used to be the father of Wanda and Pietro. After the Magneto retcon his importance diminished.

Yea but Bendis treats all villains who are not Thanos or Doom as D-List jokes that are pathetic in every way. And constantly say they are pathetic out loud so that the reader does not forget that.

did they call him man-ape in the movie?

No....Closest to was a nickname Gorilla when someone said his full name.
