    Not to defend Joss Whedon, but Booyah is literally the character's catchphrase In the comics/every animated version of him lol

      Googled it and Fisher had a couple good points. After the Whedon rewrites, Cyborg was pretty much the only black character in the movie. This was one of many disagreements he had about black representation in the movie, not an isolated incident.

        Nah I agree with him, I think the booyah line itself isn't worth defending either was just bringing it up since it's sort of part of the character so that alone isn't enough to be annoyed at the team.

        But obviously there's way more issues than just that.

      I'll admit that I was not aware of that, and it does add additional context to the heat between the two over the line.
