** In the early strips, Ebony was a rather... '''broad''' stereotype. Fortunately, when Will Eisner joined the army, he realised he was being unfair to blacks, and Ebony was PutOnABus, and when TheBusCameBack, he was toned down a '''lot'''. Interestingly, Ebony White is--if you can make it past his accent--actually pretty consistently shown from the start to be very intelligent with good street-smarts, just not well-educated... which makes perfect sense once you consider he's driving a cab at odd hours and is very likely supporting himself that way. When is he supposed to be attending school, anyway?

* TookTheBadFilmSeriously: In comparison to her older counterpart, played by Creator/EvaMendes, and possibly everyone else in the movie, Creator/SeychelleGabriel's performance as the younger Sand Saref is surprisingly emotional and compelling and even manages to make Sand a sympathetic and tragic character. It's almost as if she came from a different movie altogether. Even more impressive was that it was Seychelle's first role in a feature film.
