The most dangerous thing about Kingpin is that Daredevil, Spider-Man and Punisher won't kill him because if any of them did New York would be overrun by crime bosses trying to take his place and they believe New York's criminal underworld is safer with Fisk in charge of it.
The hell you say. Punisher has BEEN Trying to take out kingpin for the longest. Frank castle gives not a shit about maintaining order in the underworld. He'll just kill them all. That's how HE Sees it.
like the show Gotham lol but marvel not DC? :-P
+Xehanort10 - Spider-Man won't kill anyone though lol
or maybe the reason that daredevil and Spidey won't cross that line was because they're heroes, come on man
***** Heroes can still kill evil people to save innocent lives and permanently stop them for good. Don't be so naive.
Kingpin: approximately 2% of my body weight is fat.
Spiderman: is that 2% your neck??
Kingpin:😐
*YOU SON OF A BI*
dude chill
2% fat 🗿
Must mean he’s ripped underneath that suit no homo
He could have said that in spider verse since he was gonna get killed anyway
Vincent Donofrio is great as the Kingpin in the Daredevil web series.
He's too tiny
+Rey Bat?
+Martin Nguyen Sorry, but Private Pyle from Full Metal Jacket doesn't do it for me. Poor casting choice.
+dksilentbob dumb ass
YT Channel Dumbass.
"completely composed of muscle". Including his double chin and chubby cheeks?
+donbasuradenuevo
ESPECIALLY the chin and cheecks
MrHandy 2
Next reboots will show him with a six pack chin and veiny cheeks.
+donbasuradenuevo Maybe that chin and thos cheeks are that 2% he talks about? And its not completely - its almost completely. One word - big change.
*cough *cough its just a cartoon
that's the 2% body fat he was talking about
Approximately 2% of my body mass is fat. Allow me to show you what 350 lbs of muscle is capable of.
_He's...crushing...me!!!_
I came here cause I was replaying the 2018 amazing spiderman and was wondering how was he able to endure falling pretty much from the top of his building and not breaking a single bone or being in pain, so I was wondering if he is a superhuman
D'Onofrio's Kingpin is the best!
But he killed spiderman from the into the spider-verse movie
@@bestjojo8942 1.)What has this got to do with his comment
2.)Vincent D'Onofrio didn't play Kingpin in Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse
what problem?
I actually prefer Kingpin in Daredevil series because he's more developed and he's very dark as a crime boss in New York City. I'm glad that the TV series makes Kingpin as a good villain which we saw him just seeing paintings, tells his back story of being a businessman, and whenever the crook can't obey his loyalty, he beats right away which is brutally bloody. Vincent D'Offario (Sorry to hard to pronounce his last name) did a good job to portray as tough villain who wants to be defeated and stick closely like the comics or other source materials in each comic. Duncan was okay as a bad guy, not so much and pretty forgettable that I don't see his character to developed, but this one is more interesting. Let's hope we can see him again in Season 2.
+White girl slayer 69 Yes, I've seen Season 2 and only five more episodes. The new Punisher looks awesome and beyond very dark. Jon Beranthal did a great job for portraying as a anti-hero who comes to Hell's Kitchen and kills many mobs for his lost tragic of his family. Good replacement for the Punisher and I'm more fan of Thomas Jane in "The Punisher" because he takes his original Punisher as whole new level. Didn't find Kingpin in it, so let's wait until next time because this show is so cool.
What do you think of Bernthal’s Punisher now, now that he’s even got his own show?
hes definitely the best written villain I'm the mcu
The Netfix daredevil's portrayal of Kingpen was the best though
Christopher Kantz I liked MCD version of kingpin better than Netflix tv series
Just my opinion but Kingpin is a villain when he gets accused of not doing something. So for an example Kingpin wants to make say Hells Kitchen a better place and gets accused yea he becomes a villain
Christopher Kantz I beg to differ, Michael Clarke Duncan's portrayal of the Kingpin in the 2003 Daredevil movie was the best
I do get annoyed that they made him uber emo and how he ALWAYS talks like he's pissed off even when he's talking to his girlfriend but otherwise agreed
The KingPEN!!
I need to see Daredevil, Kingpin and Spider-Man on screen together!!
😉
What about now... I was screaming when I saw Murdock in no way home..
RIP Michael Clarke Duncan.
I was SO happy when I learned he was cast as Kingpin originally...such ideal casting. I can't think of another actor who could possibly play Kingpin in future films (hopefully he'll show up in the "Amazing Spider-Man" films, or a "Daredevil" reboot). There's not another actor I know of who has Duncan's sheer size and immense presence, and combines all that with an innate intelligence and grace that feels appropriate for the Kingpin.
SO sad he's gone.
R.I.P. 777.
I got news for ya.
Turns out their was another better kingpin.
Well, there's some good news for you!

2% body fat will cause organ failure.
People have 1% body fat
Morgan Tait
People?
The lowest body fat a Mr. Olympia competitor has reportedly come in at is 3% body fat and they only maintain that for a few hours, while taking oxygen backstage, and immediately replenishing after contest.
People who are naturally starved down to anything below 5% body fat over a long period of time begin to experience health issues of all sorts (example, Jews in the holocaust,), this is why slave owners in America actually beefed up they're slaves because they knew if they were starved like the Jews of ancient Egypt they would whither and die, so in response to your comment above, again I say....
People?
I'm sure a lot of stuff that happens in comics would cause organ failure
mweepinator Haha good point
Rashad Almomani 2% body fat with a double chin, that's believable!
That spider Man cartoon from 94-98 was amazing no pun intended. Writers were so advanced. Pure nostalgia of childhood for me.
I've watched some of it as a kid I think it's OK
Thank you, Wesley.
Kingpin's physic is like that of Street Fighter's Edmond Honda... HUGE abdominal muscles.
Gotta Admit That I Feel Bad For Kingpin when he was a child
Yeah people don't realize how important a good childhood is till recent years. Study shows that your childhood makes you who your going to be.
I loved the spiderman animated series (1994-1998) mainly because of it being the only series to have king pin in
And then I realised he was in the 1960s one
Luke B P He was only in one episode of the 60's one.
DrmCom2003 and a major villain in the 1994 to 1996 one
He was in the 80's series too, which was really the first season to what eventually became Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends. People often forget that He has the 2nd most appearances in the 80's series, behind only Doctor Doom, who Spider-Man would battle the most.
Luke B P He also appeared in Spider-Man: The New Animated Series which was on MTV back in 2003. It only lasted 13 episodes and that Kingpin was based upon Michael Clarke Duncan's character. In fact he is the one who does the voice in that series.
rip duncan rip
jmjack156 you said it, Michael Clarke Duncan will be missed T-T
I'll miss you big man.
R.I.P ✝️.
The Kingpin of crime. One of the better Marvel villains.
Man I truly miss Michael Clarke Duncan. Brilliant man and a lovable character in EVERY roll he played. No matter how terrible the movie. Went way before his time. Rest in peace big man. You were one of a kind
R.I.P. 777.
Great actor . Remember seeing him when doing security at Fox studios.
Whos here after today episode. Hahaha
I love these from MoJo. I am not a comic book reader, but I like and admire the artwork.
First time seeing a cartoon on these as the primary basis for a character backstory.
this channel is pure awesomeness
Update with the TV shows portrayal, it's the best ive seen yet
+William Blackfyre
Probably not better than the TAS one.
A S R don't forget about Michael Clarke Duncan's portrayal of him
He’s one of my favorite marvel villains. I love pimp gangsters.
I hate how everyone bitches about Michael Clarke Duncan as Kingpin, so what he's black we have a black Nick Fury we can have a black Kingpin.
In the comics as well as in alot of movies and cartoons Nick Furry is black. Is a few comics and (To my knowledge) only in 1994 spiderman series was he White. I'm sorry that you don't care much for authenticity. Maybe We should change Wolverine into a black guy! And Daredevil to a white guy! Hell storm would be so hot if she were WHITE!
Alexandros Doane Originally Nick Fury was white. In the Ultimate universe Nick Fury was tailored to look like Samuel L Jackson. They actually went and go his permission for that. Of course Jackson went on to play Fury in the films. To be hoenst, I'm not sure which came first: Marvel casting Jackson because of the comic, or them doing the comic like that because they knew they'd be getting Jackson into the moves. Meanwhile the main 616 universe kept with a white Nick Fury. However, once Marvel NOW occured Fury was retconned to black to match the film universe as well.
Which came first the whitey or the jackson. The world will never know. Oh well xD. I guess it's another one of Marvels mysteries.
Far as I know Nick Fury was caucasian originally but because of Samuel Jackson's popularity as an actor they made him black which is no problem for me.
I agree that there's no problem to be seen here. Despite the movie's mixed reviews, Duncan played a good Kingpin. I was young at the time, and his was the first depiction of the character I'd seen, so learning that the original was caucasian was actually strange for me.
i love these glad to see them coming out more often can't wait to see the next one
I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE. Thanks :D
I don't think it's ever been mentioned since, but during one of the series when manhattan was taken over by demons from limbo, it was implied that the Kingpin sold his soul. I thought that was an interesting twist.
R.I.P. Michael Clarke Duncan!!!
RIP MCD ): The best man and the an amazing kingpin.
I've always thought of Fisk as a Class 2 Mutant, according to my personal formula:
Class 1: Mutation offers no enhanced, super-human ability, but only unusual physical alterations, like blue hair or purple eyes.
Class 2: Mutation offers minor enhanced super-human ability, but nothing beyond what a human might be able to obtain with a lifetime's training or body modification.
Class 3: Mutation offers mid-range ability, making the mutant capable of self-contained weapon or protective status, or some form of vehicle-quality self transportation.
Class 4: Mutation offers weapon, protective or transportation ability rivaling high-grade weapons status, high-yield defensive status, and/or supersonic / instantaneous speeds.
Class 5: Mutation offers abilities that actually change and / or bend the laws of physics themselves.
Under my formula, mutants like Cyclops and Gambit are Class 3, Professor X and Wolverine would be Class 4, and Phoenix or Scarlet Witch would be a Class 5.
Wilson Fisk is the crimelord of all of New York City and the toughest enemy of both Spider-Man and Daredevil.
You forgot about The Punisher
@@Troy428492 Oh yeah the Punisher too. Thanks for reminding me of the Punisher
Despite the iniatial turn off of computer generated buildings, the nineties cartoon was excellantly drawn,animated & voice acted.I give it a 93 out of a 100. That's not nostaglia talking neither.
How about Batman or Superman the animated series? Batman Beyond? We had some good cartoons back in the day.
phuk gugle They were good but this video was about a Spiderman related villian.
***** I said excellantly. I never picture the actor but character speaking,cause he never had it & never will. From the actor's 7up days.
There were a lot of really good cartoons in the 90s that aged really well. I went back to watch some of the old X-Men and even being 20 years old it was quality stuff.
Bolshoi333 It really wasn't.
Micheal Clark Duncan did a great job as the Kingpin. I would have liked to have seen him do more cameos here and there in the super hero movies. I also miss him in other movies to. It was awesome first seeing him in Night at the Roxbury (great movie btw). :P
R.I.P Michael Clarke Duncan! Your portray of Kingpin was awesome!
I bet you daredevil Netflix series brought you here... Admit it
Hell yeah! In my defense I grew up with the Spiderman Animated series. I like Vincent's portrayal of Kingpin because he has all the requirements. I hope that if he is used for any future Marvel movies that they get him some extra body mass and allow him to exude more self confidence (while in prison of course)... I'm kinda irked by his weird gestures while talking.
Guilty as charged. If you ask me I don't care if you're black or white, as long as you can play the character perfectly I can't complain, as for the actor who plays the kingpin in the daredevil series? He nailed it perfectly, it's like he was born for the character, for all I know he is!
It brought me back I always found kingpin interesting and I enjoy his portrayal in the Netflix series
"We don't say his name..."
Junior Odunuga how would it lead you "here"? specifically or in general
Spider-Man cartoon series.
Nothing but great childhood memories.I miss those days:)
I loved Michael Clarke Duncan as Kingpin
Daredevil 2015 brought me BACK here
Christopher Charles
*Same XD*
Everybody's talking about DareDevil, but a war against Kingpin is the center of Jason Aaron's reboot of Punisher MAX. I've only gotten my hands on Volume 1, but it looks good so far.
+Christopher Charles Vincent D'onofrio is the shit ! he makes me want to give Kingpin a hug and stab him in the throat at the same time.
Christopher Charles the 2003 Daredevil movie is what brought me here
Into the Spiderverse brought me here
Fisk started out as a good. Spider-Man foe, but with what Frank Miller did with him, he is an excellent Daredevil enemy !
Read the Born Again storyline for proof!
One of the coolest supervillains of all time. A human with no super-human strengths and yet the boss of some powerful assassins and villains. Now that leadership.
Awesome Video! I read the comics in my childhood. In Germany the comics are translated in the late 1980ies/early1990ies. Thankyou for remembering the memories!
Just finished watching s3 of daredevil series. Don't know what to say, maybe the best marvel series I've seen .Every character is awesome.
The white Suge Knight
Lol. Good one
but Suge Knight is a punk bitch that got whooped outside a club. It would take atleast 5 men to even stand a chance against Kingpin
IKR lol
It's kind of a shame that they haven't put Kingpin in the Spider-Man movies. he makes a better nemesis than the Green Goblin. I like the Daredevil movies, Ben Affleck was a good Daredevil along with the late great Michael Clark Duncan as Kingpin. John-Rhys Davies from the tv series Sliders & Raiders of the lost Ark Fame played Kingpin in Trial of the Incredible Hulk, back in 1989 too. with Rex Smith (Street hawk) as Daredevil.
Kingpin used to be a Spider-Man villain, but as events went on, Kingpin had more and more connections with Daredevil. So after awhile, he changed to be mostly a Daredevil villain.
The Green Goblin is such a lame villain
He's so boring. Magneto is the boss.
tavi921
lolz magneto is the mostest boringest ever.
***** The thing about Green Goblin is that he began as a shit character. He did nothing truly noteworthy until he threw Gwen off a bridge, which didn't kill her. Spiderman's webbing made a sudden stop that snapped her neck. Then GG died. For a long time, that was all there was to the Goblin. Harry became the next goblin, and his psychiatrist followed after. Still kind of a shit villain. Then there was the clone saga. The writers had admitted at one point that they didn't know where they were going with the story, so when the end came, they pulled something out of their ass: Norman Osborn was behind it all. Interesting twist, but utter bullshit. His heart was impaled and destroyed. Norman actually says that his formula gave him a healing factor and his heart mended. But that doesn't make sense since his heart couldn't pump blood to allow his body to do anything. All of that cemented his place as Spiderman's nemesis, but personally, I can't view him as such. He's boring and became the nemesis through incompetent writers. Venom or Doctor Octopus make far more sense. I'm a big Spiderman fan, but I more tolerate the Green Goblins, Hobgoblin, Demogoblin and Grey Goblin than enjoy their presence.
It's about time you guys did Kingpin
Thanks guys !
Who is here because daredevil show lol
Me XD
Haha me
Santos Castro and me XD
Santos Castro The show is awesome. On to episode 9. My only complaint so far is that I wish he was in his Daredevil costume earlier. But I like how they give him a back story before he puts on the suit like they did for "Bale" in Batman begins. Most superhero movies they already show the person in the suit rather then how he became who he is to wear the suit.
Here here
The Kingpin is awesome, and Michael Clarke Duncan was a PERFECT fit for him!
Wilson Fisk is one of my favorite villains of all time.
A spectacular villain, one of the best for me.
Who else here from Into the Spiderverse?
Me too kingpin is a beast in that movie
Ya he was strok
Not me
No I was from daredevil
But why is he overly exaggerate large in Spider verse? Yes, I know that Kingpin is a big guy but he's not that exaggerated in the comics .
Honestly they should just put D'Onofrio into the new Spidey movie and have him act as the bad guy.
Yeah, no, that's a terrible idea. Having a guy who can decapitate a man with a car door, appear on a family movie, isn't the wisest move
It is all the same universe, but it is funny how you put that.
well it's possible that they may cross paths one day, I mean since they're in the MCU in all
Nick Gaschler The all powerful US Govt. He wants to get out in a legit manner so he can go back to running things in NYC.
Skepticktok He is almost an exact replica of the character.
It's a guilty pleasure for me. I too liked it, despite the script the actors had to work with, but to all their own.
Michael Clark Duncan definitely had the best body type for a live action Kingpin, Rest In Peace 🙏
1:18 Is Spidey so poor that he couldn't have just made a new suit?
does this also mean that, the suit have been stitched/patched to hell and back?
In the series he mentions it a LOT who makes new/patches them p, but I don't remember her name.
***** Mary Jane?
Allen Babylon
wut?
I really loved MCD in that role, but if they plan on bringing Kingpin back into the cinematic universe, via the new Spider-Man films or Daredevil reboot, I suggest that they cast Kim Kold as Wilson Fisk. The dude is ripped to all heck, has beautiful and emotional acting skills, speaks English clearly with a great accent, looks fat in clothes with sleeves, and can kick butt (watch his fight with The Rock in F&F6). Just shave his head, and he's perfect for the role. I love his indie films.
Damn it Mojo, stop keeping me up all night!!
Because of the success of joker and brightburn, kingpin should have his own origin solo movie, and also thano.
Michael Clark Duncan was the best part of that DareDevil movie....Anybody that feel otherWise is stupid
ezthejedi no foolin, Michael Clarke Duncan took the cake
ezthejedi bullseye was better
Wrong colour tho
Who else watched this after, or while in the process of, watching the Daredevil series on Netflix?
Does anyone remember Kingpin's apperance in the Punisher franchise?
Does anyone ever remember the Punisher?
WIlson Moriarty; got to love that Sherlock Holmes tie in regarding the last name.
The Russian is a character from Marvel, who is mostly an enemy of The Punisher. As the name suggests, he is Russian, and he is also a behemoth of a man, with incredible strength and endurance. Although he is never stated to have super-powers, he is just freakishly strong and enduring, managing to shrug off bullets and knife wounds, and even surviving a fall from a plane, landing head first, suffering only a concussion and some temporary memory loss.
*He’s “all muscle” yet has a giant gut and double chin.... How?*
2% fat
Vincent D'Onofrio does a great kingping in the latest DD
Love the 94 animated version of Spiderman with Kingpin. Perfectly voiced by Rocoe Lee Browne.
After Hawkeye
To everyone who's complaining about Kingpin's race change in the Daredevil movie, here's all I gotta say. If you loved Sam Jackson's Nick Fury, shut up.
in all fairness that was based on ultimate nick fury, who in turn was based on samuel l jackson, not that i genuinely give a damn about them making kingpin black, race of a character in the movie versions of comics is only really important if it doesn't makes sense for them to be other than what they are in the comics, IE black johnny storm is kinda dumb as would a white black panther. besides, the daredevil movie was shite for so many other reasons
To everyone complaining about the Kingpin's race change in the Daredevil movie, RELAX AND CHILL OUT and let's not be bigoted here, see Linklex7 in regards to Samuel Jackson as Nick Fury.
Anyways courtesy of Vincent D'Ornofiro he's going to be a 100% caucasian in the Daredevil Netflix series and look like he stepped right out of the comic book pages, and don't turn this into a race flame war people, Duncan was great as the Kingpin, he was IMHO the only good thing about that movie,
but I really want to see what dark demons D'Onofiro 'Private Pyle'
brings to the character of Wilson Fisk.
I hate these race changes.
If the character is black, then fine. I'm cool with black super hero or villain.
I don't care. But these race changes just because political correct are just annoying. But just as alike, I would be frustrated if they'd turn black character white.
While I don't expect every detail to go down to a spot, I still expect details to be as close as possible and different skin color big detail to get wrong.
If you are making a movie and can't get character/event details even remotely right, then don't do a movie at all.
Sure, I am open for certain degree of artistic freedom but I also expect that they get at least the basics right. Such as skin color, sexual orientation, who they date with, what's their role, personality and so on and so forth.
Nick fury is black in the ultimate comics
HumanHybrid he originally was white. then they changed i believe in the new 52. then one of the drawers thought it would be funny to make him look like Samuel l Jackson and that was how we got Samuel l Jackson as nick fury in the avengers.
Big M.C.D, rest in peace brotha man. We miss ya!!
The new daredevil Netflix show really gives u a lot of info on him
seriously a man of that size does not weigh 350pounds it more like 600pounds
Regardless the skin color difference between the Kingpin and Michael Clarke Duncan he portrayed the best way...he was great as Kingpin, charming, intimidating he was great, actually was the best part of the DareDevil Movie...hope they reboot this amazing franchise either on a film or a TV Series like Arrow...
TV series is actually in the works. Look up "Netflix Marvel TV Shows" on Google. Sadly, MCD is no longer with us.
Also the directors cut of Daredevil isn't half bad: it adds almost an hour of extra footage that ads a shitload depth to the characters.
Shouldve hire the fat guy from Carlito way movie
Marvels, live-action daredevil disorders store should be expanded more. Plus it would show a lot more complexity of the KingPins character. It’s just a thought, but still, I would like you guys considered.
Spider-Man did kick his ass in "Back in Black" that was all my time favorite during the Civil War era.
MCD should of played kingpin in white face for the 2003 version.
Um....he's dead
Holy shit your telling me he was dead the whole time he was acting in that movie in 2003, the year I was talking about. Man its amazing that he never got a academy award for that. I bet he would have had he gone with the white face idea I had tho #Oscarssowhite
Oswald Cobblepot yeah, but 9 years later, he died of a heart attack at the age of 54, three years younger than my grandfather was when he died
Damian Prock well aware. Didn't know he was three years younger than your grandfather tho. Learn something new everyday I guess.
Kingpin V.S. Walter (from The Mask)
That would be an Awesome fight! xD
Hell yay he is awesome
whoever the guy was that voiced fisk in the animated series is a pro
Michael Clarke Duncun Played the role well :(
That 2% of body-fat must be his double chin
Micheal Clark Duncan
R.I.P.
We all miss you Michael Duncan
3:31 What is Angry Joe doing here!? D:
***** Phrikeares *Colin Farrell
Toxic Twist *Angry Joe
holy shit, that was hilarious
I'm going to get flamed and attacked real hard by a lot of you CZcamsrs, but here is my opinion on Race changes in these movies:
1.) I'm not trying to be racist here, but there truly is no other way that is going to come off. But why must EVERY character that gets changed from European, or any other Caucasian background be changed to be of black decent? Why can't we fucking change it to be a Oriental? An Indian? Why must it be black? Explain.
2.) It's stupid to change the race of a character solely to appease racial matters. I get most people are angry that these super heroes aren't "Black" and they are mainly "white" but a lot of people aren't complaining that the heroes that are actually black aren't getting movies. People should be complaining about that and get writers to create a movie based on their respective races.
-as small as the list was because I decided I wanted to keep it brief so I can go into why I find these things to be racist all in themselves.
Just because characters are white, doesn't mean you should go and change them "black" just to appease that one race. Everyone in the Marvel Universe is being changed to Black, why? Why the fuck must they be black? Why can't they be Chinese? Why can't they be Japanese? Why not Indian? Why not Native? If you say "Because they were enslaved for many years! So of course this has to be it!" then you're fucking pathetic and that is a weak argument that I hear so often. So were the Chinese, and definitely the Natives. Fuck, The Natives are so few in numbers now that it is laughable to say African's have suffered worse than they have.
Johnny Storm's race is going from White to Black and that is just bullshit. I don't need to see black people rape my movies anymore. Diversify my fucking movies by making them Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Indian, or Native NOT fucking Black just to appease people. Fuck it. I guess I should expect in about 2 more years to for Batman to be a Black man, or Superman to be a Black man JUST to appease black people. But who cares about Natives, or the rest of the world because well... Black people. Fucking done. FUCK it.
I don't personally think they look for specific races when they reboot a lot of these movies. I feel that they indeed keep racial diversity in mind since it's a newer age, but at the end of the day look for the man (or woman) that conveys the character in the best light purely based on acting skill and overall representation. I'm not saying Asians and Natives or whoever else besides blacks are not capable of representing traditionally white heroes or villains well....once again, I just believe they examine certain actors' skills and cast who fits the part.
DayjMan No, when they change a race it's because of "racism" and not just solely the actors traits.
There are ample amount of actors and unknown and faceless actors that could most likely fit the parts perfectly, but they will not do that. It's a marketing ploy. It's retarded. And I am getting fed up.
"African" Americans are among the most racist people on the planet.
Jonny Apples I agree with your point on the white actors being chosen because they were best suited for the role (my initial point with Makoto Kazuki). I just want to add though that race swaps from white to other races aren't always necessarily to appease whatever race they are changed to. Yes, I believe they are trying to re-imagine characters to be more racially diverse at times, but at the same time they wouldn't pick any random black guy out of a barrel and give him the role....they want the best actor suited for the role at the end of the day.
You are right like they changed Green Lantern to Ryan Reynolds , like are you serious keep them the way the comic says
Arinze Ihezue I am sure that there are a handful of other minorities(And let's be real here, blacks, browns, and yellows aren't really minorities anymore :P ) But I know that there are numerous people heading out for roles. It's entertainment the one stop cash cow if you get lucky.
The thing is, in any business if the employers are looking for a certain race, gender etc, then they won't hire anyone else until that certain race, or gender is found with decent acting skills.
Human Torch, from what my understanding wasn't a robot ever. He was added into the series after it was becoming a bore. Since there were only the 3 plus this robot companion that the Fantastic 4 had. But they decided to add someone else in, and it was the Human Torch(From my understanding and memories of the origins of the character.) So yes, I can still be agitated at the racial swap. Heck, even if I am wrong about the origin of the Human Torch, it then brings me back to my original point; "Why must he be black?"
I like your reply because you weren't an asshole, and gave me a good, and thoughtful reply, instead throwing me the "YOU'RE RACIST YOUR PRICK!" Type of comments. Thanks for that :)
This is my boy right here!
Kingpin is one of my most favorite villains
Quite Honestly I can't think of a heavy set man or white actor to play kingpin. I prefer hollywood to keep things as natural as possible characters or bio pics. Looper is a good exception and Jeff Bridges in Tron, that was good cgi.
Asukarave Brian Shaw
Daredevil netflix series returned our wilson fisk.
No it didn't. It returned a piece of shit and said it was gold
Morgan Tait Lmfaooooo its true tho
Morgan Tait I don't get it?
Morgan Tait You probably watched the wrong show.
I most certainly did not. This kingpin looked at modern art, went on dates, was socially awkward, had night terrors, fits of wild rage ruining everything on multiple occasions, cried in the rain and was downright awful.
Savage Kingpin moment in Daredevil season 3.
"Give me your jacket."
more videos? good, good
So Hollywood can make Cleopatra,Queen Shiba white but make a ficitional character black and all hell breaks loose.
your evidence to support that cleopatra wasn't white?
Africa dummy.That's like saying prove Jesus wasn't a pale skin blue eyed water walker living in the middle east.
africa dummy? have you been to egypt lately and perhaps seen that that black people are a small minority? you do realize this? arabs are not black "dummy".
So I guess the original Native Americans are white since the Europeans almost wiped them out?
Arinze Ihezue
it's generally accepted by historians/ experts in the culture of ancient greece ect that she was white, it's just one of those things
Who’s here for Hawkeye?
Same bro. I always liked that movie.
Gotta love Michel Clark dunken's pertail of fisk and man his voice is just ominous as hell. Too bad he died so soon
this is hardly an origin. this is just a recap of first appearance.
I don't care what any of you say. I loved the Daredevil movie.
Daredevil and the green lantern movie got a lot of hate, I am confused as to why
john golda the writing of green lantern and some cgi were iffy. but ryan reynolds did great in his role.
great example of villian swapping only works well if the story is really really good........and I like that even though he is now primarily a Daredevil enemy he still appears quite a bit in spiderman comics also.
I’ve always liked kingpin because even tho he’s the boss of all bosses he still doesn’t mind getting his hands dirty every now & then.
