This is like expecting a toddler to learn how to build a house overnight.
You can't be THAT untalented in storywriting and direction and expect to all of a sudden make the flip you all want him to make.
At some point, he's got to deliver on what everyone thinks hes holding back on.
I think he will but only time will tell....and as a matter of fact black folks in general need to get the hate out their hearts and try to start having some faith in our own.
Also when i said brand i wasn't really referring to his personal brand but more of what i think he could represent. Not just as a black director but as a black movie mogul with his own successful fully independent movie studio and then able to employ other black writers, directors, etc...who may be more talented than him to give them a shot they would otherwise never get. I guess i see a bigger picture than most but in the meantime he's doing damn good for himself.
The quality of his movies is a subjective criticism but his films make money so financially, business-wise he's doing the damn thang and that is to be commended.





that's my 2 favorite genres. "Fantasy" being my 3rd fav. 
how can you niccas sit here and put down this brotha for making very successful films with an all black cast? Yeah ok he does perpetuate some stereotypes but I guess you would rather a white do it and get rich? HE OWNS and has full ownership of all of his films as well as owning his own studio that employs alot of people. Why hate this black man? He isn't waiting in some Hew to tell him to go, he is his own boss and Lions Gate only distributed his films, that's boss sh1t. He is eating the loaf and crumbs, it isn't just some accident that his studio caught on fire 2 times in less than 3 months.
come on you know what i'm talking about, tyler perry wouldn't see 1% of what he's making now off black women if he made a scifi
