Nah, it?s not political.
Politics is whether or not a flat or progressive tax plan should be adopted. Black people having to fear harm coming to them because of the color of their skin has nothing to do with politics.
Still trying to get my head around what metrics you are using to determine how members of a minority group should feel about how far the country has come for them?
Have you ever asked a black person how they feel things are going for them in this country? Have you asked them how much time they spend worrying about the effects of racism on themselves and their children?
This show clearly forced a lot of people to face some uncomfortable truths about how black Americans feel about their role in this country and some are dismissing it as false because it?s easier to swallow that way.
Well, maybe. Except I'd argue, again, it's insulting to think that from at least pre-teen on up, especially this past year, that the history of various wrongs, and even rights, hasn't been delivered 24/7; from classrooms to media...
And that groups of peoples' experiences is gonna vary where they live; in the urban area where I live, yes, indeed, there are many poor people of all races. But there are also many well-off people of many races; got a black neighbor (out of many) who regularly changes cars every few years or so; and it's always for a new Lexus and like that. He's a hard working man; earns what he buys. Lots of minorities with Mcmansions and so on.
So, depending on where you are, folks raging about certain issues doesn't compute. It's more like, what? Like a lot of OUR bank officials are black, Hispanic, Indian...the head of my local post office is Asian...I'd feel stupid asking someone who owns a McMansion how they feel about how the country is treating them
. Yeah, there's racism, black/white and reverse; but it's hardly the norm. Mostly it's people working brutally long hours and commutes. Because that's how it was in my region, before Covid. Yep, there's poor areas. Lots of well-off too.
(U could, also with justification, ask taxpayers how they feel about pouring millions into the war on poverty, Section-8 and food programs, and so on, and then have to listen to some of the stuff said, like none of that counted
. Or like, the bosses who can't fire people who are terrible workers, because they'd get hit with a lawsuit and/or labelled racist, etc.)
So using a comic book movie to once again, badger people about issues they already know about is a mistake (especially because we were already there with Black Panther - been there, done that). You're either preaching to people who seem to love this kind of thing 24/7 (and often get on social media to overshare their own opinions or cry or drone on) or irritating people like me
who have certain expectations when a showrunner has classic characters put in their hands to look after, and will just tune out.
IMO, folks wanna fix problems - and IMO laughably Cap's speech at the end is a perfect example - u wanna fix problems, do it. Quit talking and protesting and do the work - pick up a hammer and join Habitat for Humanity, build a community garden in an area of food deserts, clean up the garbage and repaint some person's house in an urban area, etc. Spellman & co. should've tried that; maybe then they'd get why Cap's speech was so lame
And you're not gonna win hearts and minds with BAD WRITING.
Do, or do not. There is no try.
Guess you?ll have to start looking for new ways to be entertained.
Yes, indeed. My favorite MCU character was nerfed and another favorite has morphed into someone pompous, insensitive, and patronizing. I don't see any hope either in that the same showrunner is still on board.
Not much you can do with any product that has changed into something you don't like (like a comic book run) except shift gears. Hopefully Loki will be OK at least. But I don't trust Kevin Feige at all, at this point.
The actor wasn't very good. Not sure if she was the same person from Solo who played Enfys Nest, but just as bad and with many eye rolling moments. One bad ass little girl.
