>Falsely assured

That's a bit dishonest. Matthew Vaughn had every intention of bringing Darwin back in his version of X-Men: First Class 2, but when he quit and Bryan Singer returned to do X-Men: Days of Future Past, those plans were scrapped in favor of Singer's vision which wrote out nearly everyone from First Class.

>the pendulum has swung
lol Hollywood has pandered to blacks for so long, what a retarded thing to say. If Darwin was a bigger character in the x-men universe his d list ass wouldโ€™ve never even been considered for the part.

Exactly. Half the time you see this they have to bend the rules to make it count.
>The first member of the main group
>the first guy to die in the last act
>the first of the villains to die
they'll call it out in a movie where the whole cast is fucking black.

I always assumed they'd do something in a sequel movie where they find out that he had to evolve beyond a physical form and now he's stuck as a ghostly entity that only a physic could perceive.

His death in First Class was the dumbest comic book movie death of all time
>Adapt to this!
OK? Why shouldn't he be able to adapt to that? lmao. Kevin Bacon should have killed literally anyone else.


He was honestly really good as Mr. Terrific. I was expecting the worse when I heard how much this black character was in Superman, but now I want a Justice Gang/JLI movie.

First Class was special on its own. It necer had a proper sequel.
Probably the best music in a Marvel film.

This. The whole point of the character was that mutant power adapted him to survive. Somehow they killed him off first.

he's a black person of colour with dark skin, and that's his singular defining feature and entire personal identity.
how pathetic and boring

Vaughn found a fatter script than the one he was working with. It included a scene of Halle Berry's character, Storm, saving children in Africa with a thunderstorm.
He learned this script was a fake, created to entice Berry to sign on, with the studio planning to discard it after she agreed. Vaughn viewed this as a dishonest tactic, especially towards an Oscar-winning actress like Berry, and decided he couldn't be a part of it.

Does Mr. Terrific even do anything in the DC universe? I literally only know this character as "the guy in the chair" for the Justice League in the last episodes of Unlimited after Martian Manhunter left to get pussy.

My belief is that this myth started with parody movies that tried to make it a thing, but it was bullshit from the outset. The truth is niggers complain if black characters die regardless of order.

The future Sentinels in DoFP should have been made from Darwin's DNA rather than Mystique's, it would have made a lot more sense considering what they could do. This wouldn't really require bringing him back as a main character though, they'd just need to come up with a way for Trask to get a sample of his DNA. It could have been just a cameo appearance.
