the spider-man we deserve
Jamie Broadnax, managing editor of BlackGirlNerds.com, just hopes filmmakers won’t repeat the mistake they made when casting light-skinned Halle Berry to play the superhero known as Storm.
In the comics, Storm is the daughter of a princess from Kenya, powerful enough to lead the X-Men. But the X-Men movies have always positioned Berry’s Storm as a supporting character hardly reflecting her African heritage.
“Hollywood has a huge colorism problem — huge — especially when it comes to black women,” Broadnax says. “And now we’re seeing the new [younger] Storm in Apocalypse … I think she’s basically a baby version of Halle Berry… we have another light-skinned Storm.”
Brian Michael Bendis is a comic book, TV and film writer. He wrote the comic book storyline in which a half-Hispanic, half-black 13-year-old takes over as Spider-Man.
Bendis says it's about time movies and TV shows caught up with the diversity of current comic books.
"It's ridiculous that every superhero [in film] was a white man who is 30 years old," he says. "It's completely unrealistic. It's not the world we live in."
Years ago, the comics industry pushed to diversify characters, fearing comic audiences had become too insular — in danger of becoming mostly the province of 30-something white males.
Bendis said changing the ethnicity of Spider-Man came from a simple question: Does the character really have to be white?
"The kid lives with his aunt ... he's a science nerd ... there's really not a reason that kid should be white," he says. "And it took off. It's quite shocking how eager the fans were for it."
Miles Morales is a Star Wars fan. Representation matters! May the 4th be with you!
I don’t mean to spam you with Ellie cosplaying from Star Wars today (are you really complaining though?), but @ask-miles-morales posted a picture of him as Finn and this image wouldn’t leave my mind until I drew it.
So yeah, have a picture of Miles and Ellie looking like the cute Star Wars nerds they are.
Change.

Look at my spider children getting along ☺️
Finally finished my Spidey group picture! Shout out to @maybellemilk for having me for an art day where I started this. As an aside, subscribers to my Patreon get to see the works in progress along with the Spiders as individuals rather than tucked into the group.
