White people writing about a topic they know nothing about:francis:

I think there is a black writer as part of the writing team...I think.

With that said, my thoughts are the same as the one in the film room thread:



I dunno how to feel about this one. If done well, it'll yield lots of positive results. If not....oh boy.:francis:

Executing the topics of black issues through goddamn Luke Cage will never work properly.

you militants are jokes:pachaha:. You nikkas set limits on yourselves behind a computer screen while a black showrunner, mostly black cast with mostly black writers are using diverse mediums to actually tackle our social problems. :manny: doesnt matter if the characters arent real dumb nikka

This guy is the show runner and executive producer. He also Directed Notorious. I'd say at least give it a chance before brushing it off.

nikka I know what the fukk "Black on Black crime" means and it's trails. That still doesn't make what you said sensible or smart.

what did I say specifically? You quoted someone else.

I see your lack of comprehension. I said "topics through Luke Cage" which meant that the problem itself was that the entity of Luke Cage himself is a weak and malign vehicle to tackle black issues.

Okay, I see the "developer" is black, so I'll give it that. Still not a guarantee for anything, and that's because of what Luke Cage as a character, as a vehicle of blackness, actually means. We're not dealing with levels of Static here on the comic book graces of being socially poignant on blackness.


The entire premise of the existence of Luke Cage is faulty in itself considering his stereotypical origin as written by cacs and his lame character since then as written by cacs.

For some of you dummies, the show is going to TACKLE the debate. From what it sounds like systematic racism will be a heavy issue in the series, meaning its more than likely the show will tear down the argument of black on black crime for what it is.
