Re: After much deliberation and hard thinking I have a reply! :D
Okay, that's perfectly fair! I've spent a lot of my life overseas, where obviously nobody speaks that way, PoC or not PoC, so I don't have a lot of life experience to go on - I'll certainly defer to someone who does.
I don't know if you're reading the current Agents of Atlas, but if you do, what did you think about Luke Cage's appearance in issue #5? Because I don't think it was nearly so bad as Thunderball here, but ... I'm not sure how to put it. IMO he was just this side of "generic good guy strong black male," and it was offputting, to say the least.
