That’s just who they look like in my head.
….ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME.
ANANSI’S BOYS BE BLACK.
BLAAAAAAACK.
ANANSI IS A CARIBBEAN/WEST AFRICAN TRICKSTER GOD.
HE IS DESCRIBED AS HAVING REALLY DARK SKIN AND REALLY FLY CLOTHES.
THERE IS NO WAY THAT FUCKING WHITE AS FUCK BRAD PITT COULD MAKE A GOOD SPIDER.
YOU KNOW WHY? BECAUSE MOTHERFUCKER IS NOT BLACK.
This is like saying, “Oh hey, you know Kwan Yin, the Chinese god of peace and harmony and purity and shit? wouldn’t it be awesome if in a movie based on her journey, we made her kids HILLARY DUFF AND MILEY CYRUS?”
No. Just…stop.
In a NPR interview Neil Gaiman said that the book was essentially for Lenny Henry because they were having a convo about how there are no sci-fi/fantasy films with a main Black cast and Neil Gaiman told him that he would write him one in hopes it would be made a film.
And when the producers approached him saying they wanted to change all the Black characters to white and remove the fantasy elements all together thus destroying the whole reason he made the book he rejected them
Seriously.
There’s whitewashing and then there’s motherfucking whitewashing.
I mean, the entire story is based around Anansi, who’s a figure from African mythology. I mean, just
come on.
seriously.

cause fuck Amnesia: Justine (for now) (I’ll probably come back and try to finish it in a few weeks) (but now it’s half-life time)
Whenever I read Anansi Boys (by Neil Gaiman), I always imagine Matthew Perry as Fat Charlie and Brad Pitt as Spider.
JUSTINE IS REALLY HARD GUYS
like, ok, I beat the first two puzzles like I always do
and then I was able to get past the part where you’re in the potato pantry thing
but then there’s the part in the water?? and I was gonna be all slick like “ok, I’ll throw these boxes to distract him and then he’ll go the other way” and then he walked right into me pretty much
and I was screwed :’(
and since you can’t load or save games, I’m done :’)
livestreaming Amnesia: Justine DLC
watch me die like 20 times and have to start from the beginning each time! :D
AMEN!!
you just got on the computer today and decided to be a gigantic dick? tell me how much of a fan of being a gigantic dick you are!
i normally don’t do this but let me just fill you in on a couple of things…
- not many people who read the first ever Marvel comics in actual 1939 are alive today, so it’s kind of difficult to have been a fan of Marvel comics since day one in 1939
- people get into new hobbies, fandoms, activities, etc all the time. one day i woke up and decided HEY! baseball isn’t so bad! i think i’ll watch some baseball and become a Phillies fan and buy some Phillies shirts and go to some games! Was I new to this whole Phillies thing? Sure. Does that make me any less of a fan? Uhhh not really. I enjoy the team, I support the team. I’d consider myself a fan.
- Furthermore, you don’t have to know every little thing about something in order to like/be a fan of it. for example, i LOVE ice cream. do i know how to make ice cream from scratch? not in the slightest. do i still consider myself an avid fan of ice cream? HELL YEAH THAT SHIT IS DELICIOUS!
- i got interested in Marvel comics when Spider Man came out in 2002 and my parents took me to the movie. I was 7 and that movie scared the shit out of me and i almost pissed my pants BUT after that I thought Marvel superheroes were pretty cool. Have I ever read a full length marvel comic? Nope. Do I still enjoy Marvel superheroes? Youuuu betcha!
- i’m sorry if it pains you to see people around the world enjoying The Avengers because they saw the movie and fell in love with the characters and the plot line and yada yada. i’m sorry if it offends you that people are suddenly interested in something that you’ve been interested in “since 1939”
- i’m sorry you’re appalled that people can like things that you have perhaps liked for a longer time than them
- i’m soooo sorry your life must be really tough because of that
perhaps you, OP, were trying to make a simple joke. but i’m a little fed up seeing all of these posts saying the same thing; “i was a fan before YOU so that makes me a better fan!”
cut the crap, and let people enjoy entertainment for the right reasons…because they like it.JESUS FUCK THANK YOU
since 1939
yes we were all alive then and we chose not to be fans
what goddammitloki said applies to a lot of other fandoms and interests, too
