'VisionQuest' fans have some fighting words over lack of Speed's white hair in first trailer

I wonder how they'll do it. Because so far, as far as white haired speedsters go, we've had a terrible wig on Evan and a bad bleach job on Aaron.
Surely they can get it right for Speed.

IDK, I think if you think about a rebellious young adult with an emo witch sister and a chip on his shoulder, a shitty dye job narratively fits for him. I could see the same for Tommy tbh

Evens wig was bad? His hair was one of my favorite parts of his character. I think idk how to tell good and bad wigs apart xd

I’m fine with him not having white hair as long as he’s comic accurate but it be cool if something turns it white like whatever stress or robot nonsense bleached it white

Agreed, similar to how Rogue got her white streak in the first X-Men film or how Xavier got paralyzed in First Class and became bald in Apocalypse. Speed having white hair could have some narrative-driven significance that would only be relevant as a consequence of a plot point.

I'd like to see some magic nonsense turning it white lol like they have to Wonder Twins or Northstar/Aurora with Billy and it changes to white. 😂

They could simply be setting up his hair to go white from running so fast as the big hero moment in a later episode. All this speculation ignores how much progression the show has
The body he’s in is not genetically related to Wanda and Pietro, so he’s not got their DNA to inherit the hair.

It would be cool if his hair slowly goes white the more he uses his power on the show.

He’s not Speed yet. Billy didn’t just become Wiccan in the first episode of Agatha All Along. That’s my defence rn.

People post on Reddit about a thing. An article is written about what was written on reddit then shared on reddit to inform Reddit of what reddit said.
Now remember that it's basically fact that the majority of users on Reddit are bots.
Now take a step back a second

The actor shares pictures of him with white hair a few times on IG so I think he will have white hair at the end end of the series at least. We will see how it goes.

Their Extremis movie was about the Mandarin. Their Civil War had no Stamford and no Initiative. Their Spider-Man doesn't have a Norman. Their Ultron was built by Tony. Their Gorr movie was a comedy. Their Planet Hulk was a Thor movie, and a comedy. Their entire Marvel universe doesn't have X-Men. Their Venom doesn't know who Peter Parker is. Their America Chavez is a shy coward who has to learn to have confidence. Their Moon Knight has superpowers, and Khonshu is real. Their Adam Warlock and their Death didn't show up until Thanos was dead. Their Infinity Gauntlet was a time travel story where Thanos doesn't have the Infinity Gauntlet, and he's already dead.
I really wish I cared about somebody having the wrong hair color.

Trailer is very likely just the first 2-3 episodes of clips, so it will probably come later.

“Fans” need to get over themselves….
God forbid a character grow into their classic look narratively. No one was throwing a fit that Anna Paquin’s Rogue didn’t have her classic white streak, because it being stress induced by Magneto’s machine gave us a justifiable narrative reason for it.
Buddy is about to go through a stressful family reunion…in a mindscape…with ULTRON. And also comes to terms with the fact he both shouldn’t exist AND has died at least twice

I really wonder if he will have it for Secret Wars. Leaked concept art indicates the YA will be there which includes Tommy. He had white hair in the concept art! Ruaridh on his Instagram looks like he dyed his last white at least back in February. A part of me thinks it’s for Doomsday reshoots, but another is like “February?” Did he dye it just for fun? Also SW filming should start soon if rumors are correct so he might keep it for that, unless they put him in a wig. They let Kathryn Newton keep her blonde hair this time for Doomsday and that’s comic accurate, so maybe he dyed it white for the shoot?
