Yeah; that's another issue, too tbh. Even when we get a darker skin ML or even rarer, FL, they're often portrayed in ways that's either very violent or very fetishy :(. Hopefully you're right about the genre and this one is just because it's an action production. Regardless, I hope he's well-rounded to avoid the stereotypes nonetheless :3
I just checked. It’s action. But this image also appears more catered to the male gaze than to the female gaze, and typically that’s a good giveaway; he looks more imposing than handsome. 😅
I don’t know this series, but action series in the modern day tend to give pretty decent and interesting portrayals to male characters. They may not necessarily be the best people, but since it’s an action comic, ample excuses are needed for the characters to throw blows, so… 😅 And whether good or bad, this guy looks pretty interesting, imo. I would have high expectations as a viewer, personally.
Yes. 👀 That's why I didn't mention them, tbh. As far as I'm aware, women have been getting better representation lately in this category as well. But yeah, it's a mixed bag. 😅
