You know why? Because he's not on social media all the time like Will. That's the key to being a real movie star: stay off socials.
Will was already damn near 20 years deep as a movie star before social media became what it is today and won an Oscar AFTER being on social media. You have all around terrible opinions, Jesus Christ give it a rest.

It literally was threads on here saying dude can't act, years ago.

Stop acting like mafukkas can't have opinions when you same mafukkas speak ya opinions all day.

MBJ is a dry personality in some roles but I liked him on The Wire, Fruitvale Station and Sinners.

Timothée Chalamet dry as fukk too and I can't name 1 role where I thought his acting was respectable.

Most actors can't really act or can over do well in typecast roles.

Denzel types are rare as fukk.

How are you not getting this?

Coogler is only going to release a new feature film every 3-5 years. He can't work exclusively with Ryan at that rate, so he needs to find other filmmakers that best know how to use his talent. It feels like only Ryan has unlocked his best self so far.
Seems he got some shyt lined up and this is w/o w/e opportunities the oscar win will give him. So hopefully one of these will turn in a performance comparable to what Ryan does with him(not counting swapped/r6) :manny:

I'm proud of MBJ but I will say the first time he really shocked me as an actor was Sinners. He bodied that imo. I think this is proof he's improving as he goes and is only gonna get better.

:mjlol:MBJ isn’t the greatest actor, but same can be said about Keanu Reeves tier non-black actors. As long as bruh has a good agent, pick good projects, and keep his friendship with Coogler. He should be good.
