I haven't seen any of the shows you're talking about but it sounds like the issue comes down to America's obsession with politics for why their adaptions are always so poorly done.


I haven’t read or watched any of the Watchmen related properties but the series literally took place in a world with tensions between America & Russia being at their worst since the Cuban Missile Crisis. With Ozymandias fake alien invasion being designed to mitigate this. And Doomdsay Clock showing the fallout of Rosarch’s diary exposing the lie putting Armageddon between the two nations back on the table.

Point being as much as people don’t reconcile this politics has been apart of comic books for decades and what what people think is politics isn’t politics like making female characters lead of the stories they’re in or including an LGBTQ actor/character.

I guess if this has Deadshot in it and he's black instead of white then maybe this would count, but the original Suicide Squad movie was the one that did that so I think it'll be like Nick Fury where Marvel/DC mandate these characters be black now for the sake of diversity


Nick Fury being black in the MCU had nothing to due with “filling diversity quotas or mandates” but because the Sam Jackson design of the character that was introduced in the original Ultimate comics being more popular than the original pulpy version of the character.

She's a messed up person just like the Joker. Seeing her on things like those preschool shows for kids where she's teaming up with Supergirl and Batgirl just seems funny to me when I think about the things she's done.


It shouldn’t be when you reconcile the fact that DC Superhero Girls is a lighter and softer take on the characters so that all their history is of course not the exact same and certain things from that character’s lore & history aren’t touched upon such as certain characters being paraplegic for a time due to being shot or others being former drug addicts.

Japan is giving me bishi Joker and sexy Harley and I am all here for it. I like the pained mouth on Joker to make it look like he has teeth.

-Bea was noticeably lighter-skinned in the Pokémon anime miniseries compared to her game version


For context, though, Bea's Japanese name is "Saitou" and her brute-force martial arts style resembles common tropes from Fukuoka, suggesting her skin is tan and she is Japanese. To be clear, in the Japanese version of SwSh, very few characters have Japanese names, so her name is uniquely Japanese. And if I remember correctly, that anime also had a lighter color scheme in general. Even Pokemon colors were softer and lighter than their game counterparts.
