It was as if the show's creators thought he had *less* steps somehow between him and a monster, is what I think struck me hardest.
But also the white kids became... better designed? More symmetrical monsters so... yeah. I see what you mean.
*borrows your pen to draw circles around the episode whole damn show*
I couldn't even watch it, despite the love that dare not speak it's name between Braniac and Supes. Show was just too damn white. Yeah, I don't blame you at all. There's not even *background* characters of colour, unless you're talking about green or pink. I ran a tally for a couple episodes, examining it frame by frame and... I guess maybe you could consider the evil cyborg bent on destroying the universe to be brown, considering the show's colour palette? It's a part of the reason I haven't watched a lot of the episodes.
But I really like the *idea* of a Legion show, and Brainy's Superman fixation is really hilarious, and it makes the tiny fangirl in me sad that it is going away even with the pathetic racial and gender undertones.
I'd like to believe that even if PoC have to build a time machine and WALK into the Future, we'll do it, in order to avoid the genocide that seems to happen to all of us between the present and the lily white days of flying cars.
I... really wish there was another explanation. I do. But I've never been able to come up with one. (http://odditycollector.insanejournal.com/1908.html)
