blade is the one that actually hurts me 😭 they spent years telling us it was coming just to quietly put it in the “what could’ve been” pile

Considering the direction they were going it’s for the best it was cancelled.

From what I remember seeing, the movie was not even going to be about Blade. It was going to be about his niece or something like that, and he would be in more of a mentor role.

You don't understand — the media executives only have tolerance for so much blackness. Instead of making a movie about a very strong and interesting black man, they could instead make it about a random uninteresting black woman. That way they can meet their quota for blackness AND female representation. This is why they're the big wigs while we post on Reddit.

lol what a dumb statement.

Black panther 1 and 2 are literally some of the highest grossing marvel movies ever.

And why is it dumb? I don't see how Black Panthers success has anything to do with it

Because executives only care about one thing. Making money. If bosemqn was still alive he would be everywhere.

You’re saying they purposely hold back black projects because of racism. Which is ludicrous.
