Women Black Women in Comic Book Movies/Series Appreciation Post
Momma Stewart was a Woman King episode three; she should have gotten a ring, uniform, and guardian position.
Actress Jasmine Cephas Jones ate the role up.

Hopefully, the rumors are right that she's the one to defeat Doom.

We definitely need more Anna Diop, because dumbasses didn't let her fully embrace that Starfire role.

I was lowkey hoping she would play Storm

u/Ambitious-Pirate-505 2h ago
I think she aged out of the role. But she had the presence of Storm....
And her gorgeous gorgeous skin...

Same. She’s gorgeous, and Misty was just coming into her character/they were setting up Daughters of the Dragon.

There's rumors that she'll be in Ghost Rider

u/Shaggyforeman 7h ago
I hope so. Her character has some strong ties to ghost rider in the comics. She’s the ancestor (magically long lived) of two mainline Ghost Riders, Johnny and Danny. She’s also really good friends with Man-Thing.

Her soaring off was stunning, was really beautifully shot

I finally got my wife to watch the series and she was already tearing up after Jennifer realized she was free, but then when she flew off my wife began to cry. It was a gorgeous shot. It hit me all over again too.

I have to show Nafessa Williams some love from Black Lightning. She is an absolutely gorgeous lady.

I feel like she was the show. I love Cress Williams, but Nafessa Williams ate.

You know she did a good job because people really dislike her character.

u/BiggieCheddarCheez80 10h ago
Right.
I was gagging at the apple on the head scene.
She gave the look of, "You bet not miss either."

u/Historical-Being-766 7h ago edited 7h ago
It depends why they dislike her, though. Is it because of her actions or because they're racist who hate when Black people talk about our lived experience?
8
u/DLottchula 7h ago
I'm ignoring the latter crew. But her actions is genuinely crazy but she did meet an alien and got a big ass diamond.

u/Historical-Being-766 7h ago
A recruiter came to her house and said her infant son had a chance to go to the league. After that, his childhood was cooked.

u/GardenStateKing 🤟🏾🤟🏽🤟🏿 7h ago
People do crazy things out of love for their children, for better or worse. Me though? Alien changes in front of me? Says my kid can be the protector of the planet? I would be lying if I said I didn't want that for them.

u/BowlingforBrains 5h ago
I can say that I hate her because of her actions 😂 but I gotta admit, that means she did a good job!
It’s one of those scenarios where she feels redeemed for the awful things she did because she knows she still loves him and feels she had a good reason - but A LOT of abusive parents ironically think that way, and John still felt the trauma as a child.

Just became that guy.... I had to submit multiple emails to a website because their article listed her as Nicole Ari Parker lol

Nicole was supposed to play mom in present day, but that was Jasmine under all that makeup.

u/EnigmaticX68 4h ago
So I'm not crazy and that's not Nicole Ari Parker right?? Like at all in this episode??
Because I just saw two more articles where Ms Cephas Jones isn't credited

Jo Mullein DOES exist; just saying if they want to spiritually transfer her over for a future season or something

Posting again because apparently a lot of so-called "article" writers can't do a cursory Google search.... I just had to submit to IGN. What did Jasmine Cephas Jones do to get no recognition?? Lol

Ruth Negga as Raina in Agents of SHIELD

She was great. That show had me hooked for the first few seasons.

u/Pandoratastic 2h ago
Wasn't she? And she had a really strong and wide ranging character arc. I wish we had seen more of her in later seasons.

Couldn’t this just be a post about appreciating black people in comic movies and shows instead of a single actress?
I’d love to share the rest of this comment, but this sub doesn’t allow for actual nuanced discussion of things for some reason so now I just sound like I’m whining

u/VastEmergency1000 7h ago
Are you reading the comments? It's a black women in comics appreciation post.
4
u/BiggieCheddarCheez80 7h ago
Right. Like we are literally adding Black Women from different movies/series in Comic Book Movies
-3
u/NecroCannon 5h ago
We have tons of those. Why keep being specific on the appreciation when we’re all struggling and facing issues? Being a black creator myself and having to do the research into these spaces, I’m coming up very short with black men for some weird reason and it’s an issue constantly talked about in black men spaces while when I go to black women spaces there’s the assumption that they’re not appreciated
It’s like sitting outside of couples who argue non-stop instead of bringing these feelings directly to eachother, using these spaces

u/BiggieCheddarCheez80 5h ago
So would your day be better if we did a Black Men in Comic Book Movies and Series?

u/NecroCannon 5h ago
I’m sorry that you’re so weird about things that you get that from mentioning“everyone”
2
u/BiggieCheddarCheez80 5h ago
No weirdness at all.
How come you didn't start your own post that's similar?
Is that if "everyone" is important
-1
u/NecroCannon 4h ago
I started my own business with art and animation purely for creating visibility for different areas of the black community in media
Like I said. You guys don’t do much to help the issue. Irl Hispanic people are way more helpful for my cause than anything I see on social media because it’s like we want to be whipped by society as an excuse with a lot of us.
So what have YOU done?
3
u/BiggieCheddarCheez80 4h ago
I think you are taking a post that was "Flaired" for Black Women Appreciation and making it about you.
And it's cool, but you're being a victim in this thread of your own creation.
And this is a Black People of Reddit, not Hispanic People of Reddit thread, so, I don't know why you are building an unnecessary hill to die on, but hey, whatever floats your boat.

u/NecroCannon 4h ago
I think that you’re thinking I’m making this about me when you keep replying, having me put more of my own opinions into this
You’re free to walk away like a mature adult if I’m the problem lol

u/BiggieCheddarCheez80 4h ago
So out of all that you still didn't post a link, portfolio, or name of your business.
→ More replies (0)2
u/BiggieCheddarCheez80 4h ago
Also, in stead of dragging down the thread, you could post a website, a portfolio link, or something that would allow folks to know more about your art and business.
Instead you're here saying we're not being inclusive enough for you.

u/VastEmergency1000 4h ago
I'm genuinely confused what you're upset about with this post. I don't understand at all the point you're trying to make or what you're specifically asking for instead of this post.

"it's not fair black women in comics are being appreciated. I'm a black male creator and in the spaces I'm in, black men always showing how they appreciate black women but the black women who know their experiences are obviously wrong on it, because they think otherwise and not appreciating the crumbs getting thrown at them. soooo how can I make a post about black women, about me/all lives matter? at least I make content that hispanics appreciate more than anyone else. what have you done? I'm just demanding others to shown content I wanna see instead of just making my own post."

u/Expensive_Banana3002 5h ago
This is Hollywood's version of black. Not discrediting her blackness at all, but this is definitely media's version of what they see as black. No chocolate or melanin unless of course, it comes with a British accent. That's just how I feel.

u/Nanou_07 5h ago
Yall keep point out her father only. Is she mixed?
Because that’s the vibe I’m getting. If that’s the case she isn’t a lightskin, just mixed.
