No. Unlike CavEl he looks his age. On top of that last time I saw him he's gained too much weight and I don't see him as someone who'd be willing to go that mile to not only lose it but build up the muscle.

Just noticed you said TV. Answers still no. Save GL for movies and not TV.

@dernman: Does it really matter how I feel?? It seems like you have something on your chest.

If it doesn't matter then why post it?

What in anything about my question does it suggest I have something on my chest? Seriously I really don't know why you think that. Beyond being mildly curious if it was a sincere feeling of yours there was nothing else on my mind.

@dernman: You can flesh out a character without sexuality being an issue. I can't think of a single action movie I've ever seen that would have a different plot if the hero was gay instead of straight, sure the love interest would need to be of the same sex but the plots would be exactly the same. If Riggs from Lethal Weapon was mourning a life partner instead of a wife (It was the 80s, they couldn't get married yet) he wouldn't have to behave any differently.

You can but they would still be less fully developed. Especially in the way entertainment is done today where characters are much more that one story. THe best characters are also the ones that are more that just the story shown but what it creates in the mind of the reader/viewer. THe best characters are ones that can almost be thought of as people. Sexuality, race, nationality, belief systems these are all elements of a fully formed character. There is no reason it shouldn't be explored.

Sure you could do it but you have to realize it's still a less fully formed character that is only focused on one aspect it. The longer the character stories continue the bigger the problem becomes.

Characters like from comics have long continuous stories and it's a bit dumb that sexuality wouldn't be a part of their over all character.

Remember you're talking about an entire race without specific. You can't just say BP wins/loses unless you're saying he's better or worse then everyone of them.

Not all Predators are equal just like not all BP's or humans are equal.

He would win against some and lose against others.

Ok now that I read it you did give a specific Predator.

Outside of Romantic movies, maybe comedy and Porn I don't see why any character's sexuality should matter at all.

I don't see why it shouldn't matter. The best characters are fully formed.

BP but only because of his suit. Otherwise I think Cap takes it after a hard fight.

@dernman: Do you know why Black Lightning is [Black] Lightning, Black Manta is [Black] Manta and Black Panther is [Black] Panther?)

Some because its sounds cool/dark the same as white characters named Black something and a few because of race.

That's because they're black)

This is not helping me understand what you were originally saying. Can you word it differently.
