Don’t let anyone tell you that representation doesn’t matter or doesn’t make money or any of that kind of bollocks.
I’m a white man, every other superhero looks like me. My mixed race brother though hadn’t really seen any that resembled him other than Blade and Meteor Man (the real ones remember), so it wasn’t a surprise that he didn’t care about these comics and movies like I did.
Ryan Coogler made a movie for people like my brother and sisters and now my nieces and nephews, where my niece sees Teyonah Parris in The Marvels and dresses as her for Halloween 2 years ago because she has the same hair as her.
This is what these things should be about, everyone should get to see themselves as a superhero.
