Zendaya says all her leads will be Black Women when she becomes a director

[Cadillac]

Surprised nobody wifed her up yet.

 

[King]

Hopefully it’s not the same type of movies

1..black professional woman falls in love with a thug and get caught up in the street life

2. Black women going through domestic violence with her black boyfriend/husband and trying to escape

3. a black woman in love with a white man tries to get through the negativity of her white neighbors and shows how any black woman will fight for her true love and pride

Tf do you think it’s gonna be?

Black movies aren’t for black people, they’re for white liberals interested wanting the respectable relatable black experience.

Blame gatekeepers like Tyler Perry and Kenya Barris

Y’all are miserable

Yep.

I knew why this thread was made and the exact type of responses.

TLR ain’t much more than black-incels at this stage complaining about women

 

[CHICAGO]

SHE SAID BLACK WOMEN

shyt honestly feels as fukk
Everyone just constantly thinking about gay and trans people, while hating on women every chance they got

[PortCityProphet]

She says that until she find out that it aint no money in black women lead films.

 

[THE MACHINE]

Black or "black?"

This sounds like we'll see a kaleidoscope of different black women getting loved on by white, Asian and Latino brehs with a random light skint breh thrown in for diversity.

Whole post is straight comedy

"kaleidoscope" and "light skint"

 

[THE MACHINE]

Welp guess she wasn't acting in Spider-Man far from home

Some might say it was "close to home"

 

[Apollo Creed]

its only the internet boyz

 

[Luke Cage]

she remind me of that girl from scarface.

 

[Phitz]

Who wants to be wifed before 25? That’s how you end up missing out on the bigger bag, messing around with your starter husband.

...and catching more bodies

 

[Professor Emeritus]

Depends a lot on the trajectory of their careers. Shorty a English major so she might not have that high of a ceiling. On paper, they sound fairly evenly matched. But if dude end up not doing shyt in football or actually using that comms degree, they might be in for a bad time.

You're talking like two married parents with college degrees are gonna be filling out welfare applications.

English degree and Communications degree don't lead to the highest-paying careers. But they're from a family background strong enough to get to college, they appear to be competent enough to finish, and they're choosing to get married which correlates with positive life outcomes. They'll probably be just regular middle-class folk and even if they're lower middle class they'll be just fine.

It's a sad truth but at least they're trying to change the mold. Hidden Figures, The Help (cringe mentioning it), The Woman King, and Wakanda Forever.

Black female leads always do better commercially in TV shows - The Watchmen, How To Get Away With Murder, Insecure, The Equalizer, to a degree Sleepy Hollow and Empire

Comment makes no fukking sense. Tyler Perry's audience demographics are typically 80-90% Black, minimum 60% even for his most popular flicks. And outside of his Black-ish world (which is certainly targeted at White people as much as Black) Kenya Barris hasn't been a major gatekeeper and what he has done has been fairly split between black and white audiences.
