Movie: Ta-Nehesi Coates' Superman

[tragabigzanda]

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Funny that you went directly to "you just don't want a black superman". Very telling.

Maybe I just don't like a racist shitsack and con artist making any movie?

They really should've gotten that one feminist author to write that ghostbusters reboot

[BurtReynolds]

Just have Robin DiAngelo make every movie. It's what America fucking deserves.

[E.H. Ruddock]

Ok so i see that this won’t be part of the DCEU so Cavill could be back as well.

You don't have the those kind of resources, Burt.

That's not a road you want to go down.

[BurtReynolds]

Can't wait for his lex luthor to be a humble book salesman telling kids to clean their rooms who is exposed as a neo-nazi.

Oh wait he already did that at marvel. It's not even satirical. It's just how he thinks his enemies really are. That's literally the level of his writing. It's like something the unfortunate child of two ultrawoke Silicon Valley parents (no doubt "educated" by Coates books) would come up with.

Burt, please link to some previous rant you've given about Coates in the N&D forum, so those of us excited about a new Superman movie can have the thread.

Thank you.

Thank you.

I don't think I've ever given a rant about him specifically, though I'm sure you can guess my position.

[epilogue]

So you won’t be watching then?

I would rather have crows peck out my eyes.

God forbid the black kids get their own point of entry to one of the most popular superhero franchises of all time amirite?

Especially one who's themes cross over with the Black American experience in so many ways.

Ok so i see that this won’t be part of the DCEU so Cavill could be back as well.

I fully expect that if this is successful it'll be incorporated into the new DC multiverse thing they're doing now.

Having Cavill team up with this Supes could be super rad.
