The Wonder Years is being remade with a Black cast

[Cereal_Bowl_Assassin]

Tired of this lazy “remake shows but make it black” shyt. It’s creatively bankrupt and it literally never works. You create a backlash amount (some) white people, and typically the IP doesn’t matter enough to black people to support. So you end up with shyt like the 24 reboot, cancelled and forgotten.

Id love to see that time period explored, beyond civil rights, so I’ll prob peep. But man I want something original about the black middle class in the 60s and 70s. Think…Mad Men, but about the auto industry or something.

My show idea has always been like…a struggling jazz musician trying to make it while supporting his family in Detroit, as Motown/r&b rules black ears. Backdrop of black people purchasing houses and cars as the auto industry booms.

You start pitching it yet

It's funny how i didn't realize who the narrator/grown up kev was until Home Alone

Did anyone learn math from Winnie?



"Edit"
Don Cheadle is actually a good casting choice for the narrator

This is basically the story of an Amazon original movie that came out a few months ago. It’s called Sylvie’s Love.

I was considering watching it for the civil rights take of the Wonder Years. Where it touches on it,but from the perspective of a kid who doesn't really understand whats going on fully. Far as what you said about remaking shows and making it black? The entire point is to receive backlash and cause discourse on social media. They do this to make shows trend,knowing that Black Twitter is a free billion dollar promotional tool. Black people have no idea of this so we do their bidding for free.
