There are Five movies in the series. Six if you count Django. Several novels and 16 issues of comics. What are the coli's thoughts on Shaft as a character and archetype? Do you feel he represents black men well in his movies?

My thoughts on what
?
Tarantino made Django Shaft's ancestor in his cannon. Brunhilda's last name was Von Shaft. She and Django took off the Von and left the Shaft and passed it down.
5 classics
I like the first flick a lot. Never read the books or saw the series. Haven’t seen all of the initial sequels so I can’t speak on my feelings for those.
Like the first Sam L Jackson remake/sequel as well. I haven’t watched it in forever tho but I got a feeling it’ll still work for me. Didn’t see the latest because it looked like it was leaning more into comedy than I wanted and just didn’t see the appeal.
Shaft as a hero and character were definitely needed in the era he was born into. I don’t believe he represents Black men more than any character on Grand Crew though because we’re a multitude with different flavors. But on screen, for that time period, he was needed. Context is everything and Shaft fits best in that context.
Also homie you might want to move this to the film room cause it’s a film topic. Just saying

This will get lost in the film room as there less black people in there.

The John Singleton/Samuel L. Jackson Shaft is underrated.
Jeffrey Wright as Peoples Hernandez would not survive Twitter today, but was a tour de force back then.
