Also, weren’t they the Tune Squad in the original?

Fucking hell this is gonna suck. The first one had a simple plot that kids could easily understand and enjoy. This is very unnecessary

Now that my brain is done vomiting into its own mind-mouth and swallowing it after reading that plot description - I’m low-key pumped for this, if only because LeBron is actually pretty funny compared to MJ.

Thank you for conceding that your argument is unsound.

I am black and the thing is a lot of us complain about that stereotype the angry black man/woman. So this is all confusing, because Mr Fisher keeps letting details out fucking piece meal. 

Again, the “angry black man” thing is hearsay, and after Fisher being so cagey for so long, I’m not inclined to give him the benefit of the doubt.

I can definitely see execs using that phrase too, but to me I’d imagine it more coming across as “can we let our main black character be this this oft criticized token stereotype of the angry black male?”

Ray Fisher : his allegations :: Geraldo Rivera : Al Capone’s vault

Settle in for a fun little trip down memory lane:

Focusing on the relatively unknown cyborg could make sense... if it was the first film in the series and he’s sort of an audience surrogate introducing us to the rest of the world. It’s odder when your movie is already with crowded with people who’ve been in previous movies of that “universe”.

But when you have studio executives (particularly Geoff Johns) saying, ‘We can’t have an angry Black man at the center of the movie’—and then those executives use their power to reduce and remove ALL Black people from that movie—they are no longer entitled to any belief associated with doubt.”

And finally, literally turning the whole case in to a commerical for the Snyder cut, even going so far to suggest to supporting the Snyder cut is a resistance to racism.

I feel like this lays bare a lot of the foolishness with this whole fiasco on Fisher’s part:

“LOUD NOISES!”
Ray Fisher

The issue with this continues to be hearsay. Fisher didn’t hear these conversations and had them reported to him by a second party, and all kinds of context could have been lost. It becomes a game of telephone, where you’re uncertain of the exact words and intent.

After his last allegation of racism turned out to be an effort to match the lighting from the Snyder production with that of the Whedon production, I just don’t find him credible on this topic any more.

I feel like Fisher should have brought these specifics up months ago and this would have had a bigger impact. 

Thirded.

Seconded

The CW ought to officially call it The Beeboverse.
