Kenan Kong is to DC what Kamala Khan is to Marvel.

>>86811443
>They are both cute asians
The only difference is that kamala attract waifufags and Kenan attract husbandofags, the latter being less prominent.

>>86811443
Hopefully DC will learn from Marvel and not try forcing Kong everywhere.

No, Kenan is actually good

>>86811554

Have you guys noticed the funny brands in the background like "Soder Cola" in New Super-Man and stuff like "Smushee" and "Circle Q" in Ms. Marvel?

>>86811443
Not really. Jamie Reyes is a better analogue to Kamala Khan than Kenan is.

>>86811693
Soder Cola is an established DC thing.

With better physical sales

>>86811694
But Jaime Reyes is Sam Alexander.

>>86811715
Yeah, that's actually the better comparison. Still, I'm not really seeing the Kamala=Kenan comparison.

>>86811729
They're both young, minority comic book leads who take after an iconic hero and happen not to suck. That's pretty much all OP is trying to say, I think.

>>86811715
That's only if you look at it very surface-level (southwest kid).

Jaime and Kamala both share the core "old legacy imagined in a new way by a character unconnected to the originals" thing.

>>86811768
... As does Kenan.

>>86811693
All of those have been around for awhile.

Ms. Marvel had TONS of new ones in the early issues, though.

>Kong

>>86811780
Not really. He has pretty typical Kryptonian powers besides apparently needing to charge since he can use up his reserves. Jaime and Kamala share basically nothing with their predecessors in powerset.

>>86811443
I'm *extremely* doubtful that Kong will end up being anywhere near as popular as Kamala. She's become one of Marvel's biggest characters.

>>86811693
Soder Cola has been a long standing DC fake brand like Big Belly Burger, Sundollar coffee, Lit Beer, etc...

There's also a Soder Cola building in one of the Arkham games I believe,

>>86811801
To bad him being Asian means he can only expand so much :(

Yeah just like Miles "Kid Arachnid" Morales right?

>>86812268
I think she is, tho. At least one of the more tolerable characters they want to push.

Kenan and Kal-El fucking when

Uh, Kenan isn't my size-changing waifu.

>>86811443
So, why does /co/ love this? I thought it was just ok at best.

>>86811765
Kenan isn't a minority.

>>86812930
What Rebirth books have you thought were good? Or what other ongoing books?

>>86812969
Answer the question.

>>86811482
>Kamala
>Asian

Fuck off britbong. She's middle eastern.

Also remember that Asians are Schrodinger's POC. They're only non-white when it's convenient, otherwise they're traitorous white sympathizers.

>>86812969
I try to judge works of fiction on their own merits.

>>86812951
His people are minoritized/marginalized in america, which is the only perspective that matters for american media.

>>86812951
Truth. He's a Chinese manboy living in Shanghai. He part of the majority

You britbongs are so fucking stupid.

>>86813078
Yes, because everyone calls Russians "North Asians"

>>86813094
>implying that literal Asians, from the Asian continent, aren't Asian

Race is a meme and Middle Easterns look Indian.

>>86812990
>They're only non-white when it's convenient, otherwise they're traitorous white sympathizers.

This is literally something thrown out at any POC who votes republican. Mexicans, natives, and even black people get called this. The difference is there are a lot higher percentages of republicans in the asian demographic, than in the black, which almost completely votes liberal. Latinos are evenly split, we get called this half the time.

>>86812990
That's a really hamfisted Schrödinger's anything. You do know that the cat's both dead AND alive at the same time in the thought experiment, right? It's not just one or the other depending on the situation or convenience. Maybe you should avoid trying to be clever in the future, because you suck big floppy donkey dick at it.

>>86813122
Indian's are asian too.

>>86813042
>>86812951
if they really wanna be diverse he should be a black guy in China. Write that Mr MacArthur genius.

>>86813122
Ok now you're being intellectually dishonest by intentionally confounding Asian the race with Asian meaning "from Asia".

>>86813155
Exactly.

>>86813094
>race
>genetic

Kek

I know a guy who's culturally Thai and Italian, but he has dark skin from his Thai mom and a wide nose, and really curly hair from his Italian father. He looks black. Like 100%.

>>86813176
>Asian, the race

You mean people with slanty eyes and pale skin, like the Chinese and Japanese. If you don't, then good luck defining what "Asian the race" actually is without referring to their location on a continent.

>>86813176
Did you know definitions of race are colloquial, and pretending that your definition of the "asian" race is actually intellectually dishonest?

>>86813199
Are you implying that Caucasian + Thai = Black?

>>86812990
oh god, why did you allow this to happen /co/ ? why is /co/mblr a thing.

>>86813229
Calling everyone from the continent of Asia "Asian" while simultaneously referring to East Asians the race as "Asian" is retarded as it fails to differentiate between Middle Eastern/Indian and East Asians.

Why would you purposely choose to speak in a way that is so easily confusing and less informative?

>>86813232
I'm implying that because this kid looks black, everyone treats him black. He gets followed in stores, police stop him regularly in our redneck town and both his extended families on either side reject him because he doesn't look like either. Its gotten to the point where its easier to just not correct people when they assert that he's black. And at that point, isn't he? for all intensive purposes, for all anyone knows?

>>86811443
>Be Chinese American
>Genuinely enjoy some of the people in China but know that a good number are rude and selfish

>Book's also funny, light hearted, and fun
>It's everything I always wanted in a concept like this

>>86813296
So he's black because people assume he's black? Since when is reality so subjective?

I get not bothering to correct people, but just because people treat you in a certain way doesn't mean you are that way.

If everyone treated asians as smart, latinos as lazy, and blacks as criminals, doesn't make those people those things.

Why does every damn Kenan thread end in some kind of ultra serious race debate?

>>86813367
Because Britbongs can't be bothered to correctly identify people like the rest of the Anglo-Sphere.

>>86813292
because I am generalazing

>>86813345
No I see your point and I agree. but I also think its more complicated than just genetics. Because he's stereotyped as a black kid, his place in society, the way he's treated, the opportunities he has available to him due to the color of his skin become different. Despite being asian and caucasian, he shares none of the similar experiences of either of the two and is instead more culturally connected to black americans.

>>86813351
I am the guy who made the first post and I wasnt expecting people to complain because I said Kamala was Asian, hell I didnt expect to hurt someone feelings.

Indians, Southeast Asians, and other people are Asians and are generally referred to as such, despite the fact that they may not look like your image of an "Asian." If you want to be specific, and really just mean "Chinese," then you might as well use specific terminology. The Census does.

I don't think you did. Many east asians consider middleeasterners "asian" under a larger umbrella of race and culture.

>>86813497
No.

This is a complete lie. Any Chinese, Japanese or Korean would laugh at you if you tried to tell them they're in the same race as Pakistani or Indians.

>>86813395
No fuck you, I did not make that post expecting race discussion, (You) or someone else could not understand that I was generalizing both characters.

>>86813497
WHO CARES? this is an anonymous imageboard, How do you want me to know if I am offending someone just because I called someone from Pakistan Asian.

Not at all.

First of all, he's Chinese in China surrounded by Chinese people.

Second of all, no one gives a shit about Kong.

>>86813523
Many Japanese people would laugh at you if you tried to tell them that they're the same race as the Chinese. They're xenophobic and treated them horribly. Treating them like they're the same is a white people thing.

>>86813529
This wasn't a race discussion, it was a discussion about correctly usage of linguistics you filthy buck toothed bongarong.

Go back to your blood pudding and your bangerz n mash.

Also congrats on Brexit

>>86813523
The Chinese divide china into their culture into 56 distinct races, and would hate to be lumped in with any one of the other 55. Race is colloquial. How people define it depends on the country. Many asian americans are perfectly fine calling indians and other non east asianers "asian"

It's because South Asian are our biggest ethnic minority, even over black people, so they are refered to as Asian. East Asians are refered to as that or Chinese/Oriental.
