In this episode of Anime, Lore & Lost Icons, Big Manny and Mas (MKI_Digital) dive deep into the modernization of today’s characters and the impact it has on storytelling. Why are existing icons being altered instead of simply creating new, compelling Black characters? What happened to Static Shock, Storm, and the other legendary figures we grew up with? Since the '60s, Black representation in animation has existed, yet our stories are rarely told authentically—especially when it comes to strong male role models.
But that’s not all—we also brainstorm the ultimate movie and game ideas. A zombie survival world? A real-life simulator with real consequences? The possibilities are endless.
Tune in for raw takes, deep discussions, and creative world-building as we break down anime, gaming, and culture—uncensored. 🎤🔥
