why should we exclude black men due to skin tone from playing black roles, especially excluding biracial black men from playing black biracial characters
right but this is not a comic book we are discussing a live action movie and dark complexion erasure is already something black people have to deal with so lets just let miles be dark skinned afro latino and call it a day!
Black people are more than skin tone I know dark skin black people that look like Marcus and light skin black men that look like miles irl
they are based on comic characters dark skin men do not face erasure in media dark skin women do but when it comes to men light skin black men often get erased even when characters are supposed to be biracial case in point miles morales new 52 wally west etc biracial characters are often never portrayed properly ESPECIALLY biracial menright but this is not a comic book we are discussing a live action movie and dark complexion erasure is already something black people have to deal with so lets just let miles be dark skinned afro latino and call it a day!
dark skin WOMEN face erasure NOT darkskin MEN LIGHTSKIN men often face erasure or lack of representation and black community says/does nothing Biracial characters are extremely rare and almost never portrayed properlyright but this is not a comic book we are discussing a live action movie and dark complexion erasure is already something black people have to deal with so lets just let miles be dark skinned afro latino and call it a day!
Miles is Afro Latino and fans have already made it clear they want an Afro Latino actor playing him. It will likely be someone new.
Miles can be light skin just as much as dark skin melanin changes colors depending on time of year regardless dark skin can be light skin and light skin can be dark skin that's the magic of being black and melanin so why can't and a biracial black man portray a biracial black man
afro latino can be light dark and everything in between and yeah I agree they may want someone new but Marcus has Disney connection just getting off grown-ish and up and coming young actor so never know
He's going to need some big role since grown-ish is ending soon and again the disney/mcu connection is already made
Yes it can but Marcus is not Afro Latino lol it's not that deep.
fair jharrel jerome is though hes literally afro dominican biracial from bronx you going to tell me he should not play miles either because he's red bone? This whole thing about miles needing to be dark skin is dumb as if we in the black community don't all know that when it comes to men DARK SKIN is the norm in representation sexual desire etc the only place that's even starting to sorta change is NBA and even that is SORT OF Light skin/Biracial need representation outside of an actor getting cast as malcom x every blue moon Miles Literally is supposed to be biracial but NEVER is portrayed properly its erasure at its finest
I can understand your point. I do hope Marcus gets a role in the film as another character.
Either way people won't be happy and will complain but my point was casting a non Afro Latino would cause controversy
This discussion is like a bad episode of Black-ish.
didn't they have an episode about this ?This discussion is like a bad episode of Black-ish.
Yes about light skin and dark skin however, the Miles discussion isn't about his skin COLOR. it's simple about him NOT being Afro Latino.
Everyone's focusing on his skin tone or his ethnicity but yall ignoring the biggest elephant in the room: his age.
He's 23 now and a live-action Miles Morales movie hasn't even been discussed yet much less started being cast. By the time that happens, he'll likely be in his mid-to-late twenties and he'll probably be too old to do it anyway.
Besides, Miles Brown is a better option anyway. He's younger and his mother is apparently of Mexican descent so he's technically Blatino too.

The lightskin ignorance about a darkskinned afro latino in a thread about how hot marcus scribner is is such a funny way to start the day yall... (i'm lightskinned too, dont get it twisted)
