Talk:Thanos vs J. Robert Oppenheimer/@comment-31549155-20200208180655/@comment-27413487-20200208232039

I know that Freud is austrian. That's why I said german-speaking. Hitler was austrian by birth but he is still associated with Germany. Even putting Freud to the side, you have Beethoven and Nietzsche. And Frederick the Great. I might even be forgetting some others.

Of course I understand that the characters represent themselves. But it's not true to say they do not also represent their country. I have seen many discussions about characters and worthiness based on how many other rappers came from this country or the other previously. So

If, in theory, they did an episode with Simón Bolívar right after their Escobar episode, then yes, it would make it better. Because what colombians are tired of, is being stereotyped. People do not respect the history of Colombia. And so ERB introduces people to lots of historical persons, like Shaka Zulu. If people see a popular channel presenting Escobar, it will reinforce this.

I am not saying that ERB cannot use an episode with Pablo Escobar. And I am not saying that a few fans should be able to overemphasize their opinion when many other fans like the idea. But what I am saying, is that Pablo Escobar and the drug violence in Colombia is still a fresh wound and many people who lived through it are still alive. And I think ERB needs to be aware of the influence they have in presenting other cultures and other histories to a mostly American audience.
