Hilarious, I was thinking about posting this sarcastically yesterday.

True, shan’t disparage the baggage. But I’m thinking of the underinformed movie-goer: the type who bitches about foreign aid but doesn’t care about how it’s barely a penny in the dollar of gov’t spending, the type that doesn’t get the difference between NSA and CIA and the other alphabets, type that doesn’t get that…

He’s got that look though. He’s okay enough looking not entirely memorable, average enough white guy. That’s the look, that’s why Gregg is such a great agent Coulson as well, kind of okay looking but average enough white guy, that’s dangerous, dangerous because nobody is looking at them and they will get you.

“Sexy” for a movie audience, not sexy in general (and CIA is never sexy). Still played by Martin Freedman, still a bureaucrat - but one that, for a global audience who don’t give a rat about randos at the State Dept, they can go “oh yeah, gov’t guy”

It’s the opposite. According to them Black Panther is the most racist movie ever.

All fairness: state department flunkie/rising star is not as sexy as CIA operative for the average moviegoer and Killmonger is shown to be intelligent, heavily-trained by the US gov’t for black ops work whose failure is steeped in his American idea that arming the oppressed will balance things instead of result in…

You haven’t seen Coming to America? You’re goddamn right you need to see that movie. Personally, it’s that or Friday for best black comedy movies, and I don’t know why people don’t remember it as much when they’re making those lists. I guess Coming to America transcends race. I’ve loved that movie since I was seven,…

Ehh... he shot ships down. White savior complex would’ve kicked in if at the end he stood up at that UN meeting, swooped in front of the folks questioning Wakanda’s bonafides, and went “Let ME tell YOU about how awesome Wakanda is (from the three seconds I was there in a total of three rooms, tops).” Ross basically…

Sort of like Manic Pixie Dream Girl in that the character has no motivations of their own, they simply exist to make the main character’s life better.

That’s a fun interpretation.

I think the point of the “no blacks in disguise” part is to emphasize how often black actors are only present in movies when they’ve been rendered more palatable under prosthetics and makeup: it’s referring to black actors being in disguise. In Get Out, the significant thing is that you have black actors appearing on…

Oddly, even at the time, I saw that as, “We need you to stay out of the way of the real business here so here’s something you can do to make yourself useful. I’ve modified our advanced setup into the Fisher Price version for you so you can handle it.”

“What is that, velvet? Beautiful.” “They got the golden arches, we got the golden arcs.” “Let your soul glow!”

I’m the whitest person on Earth. Great movie. Not sure why the hell my parents had a seven year old watch it, but I loved it then and I love it now.

Or the “I can’t be racist, I liked Black Panther”.

I’m waiting for the comment from some MAGA-head along the lines of, “Since Black Panther is a hit, racism is over.”

It’s basically a “you’re totally useless in hand-to-hand combat....or shooting...or anything actually in person, so pilot this jet and stay away from the real danger!”

I saw it as there are three of us here. And you would get your ass kicked out there but you can pilot. Here’s a spot you can fit in. ALso he was reluctant to take the role. It had to be forced on him. And he still deferred to shuri the entire time.

I’ve head-canoned it into “(they’re going to target the remote pilot)We need you to sit here in this stationary virtual reality pod, colonizer!”

If we actually get Madea on Space, its on you.
