I don't understand how black areas have such a high homicide rate, even worse in Africa, since black dudes are so calm and sensible in comparison with white ones. π
It's odd... according to movies, black zones should be havens of peace and white ones should be slaughterhouse. Reality must be wrong someway π
Nope, you are not wrong. I'm just waiting for the backlash. You know what I mean. It wasn't meant to be rude or insulting to you so I apologize if I came across that way.
Hardly. The impossibility of a film like this today with a calm, rational white guy battling black werewolves shows there is credibility to the OP's post. There is a subtext of racial propaganda that's only acceptable because it's evil white people, lycanthropes, etc., as the antagonist.
Hardly. You can assign "subtext" all you like; doesn't mean you can Professor X your way into the writers' minds and see why they made the protagonist black.
If you're searching for movies w/non-evil white people, you've got an enviably easy job. No subtext there, right? Hardly an "impossible" task. Go to your local multiplex, and crane your neck up at the list of offerings. Plenty of heroic white folk.
"If you're searching for movies w/non-evil white people, you've got an enviably easy job."
You're just blowing smoke outta yer butt. You've also disingenuously changed the scenario I was addressing, which wasn't motivated by the absence of white protagonists. It's a common trick that confuses dummies with short attention spans, I suppose. Name a movie in the past decade, say, featuring an army of evil black people, monsters, or whatever being vanquished by a virtuous white guy. And one specifically that wasn't making a mockery of that scenario for political points. We'll all be waiting....tick tock tick tock....
LOL. . .nice try, but. . .no. I'm doing nothing of the sort; I'm replying to the ridiculous OP, and you're attempting to muddy the waters.
As far as the (ridiculous) scenario you're positing, it's irrelevant to both what you And the OP were alluding to. To wit: assigning some sort of "agenda" to the race of the characters in this movie is absurd. And claiming that there's a concerted racial bias. . .in Either direction. . .having to do with protagonists vs antagonists in cinema, is equally absurd.
Sorry if that bursts your looking-to-be-offended bubble.
"And claiming that there's a concerted racial bias. . .in Either direction. . .having to do with protagonists vs antagonists in cinema, is equally absurd."
It's not absurd. This film is just being stylish in what is currently an acceptably racist way. What you don't understand is that labeling this film "racist" is just using the newfangled standards of SJWs who aren't used to having to follow their own stupid, merciless rules. It's okay with me if you wish to live an oblivious life with your head under a rock.
Same old comment from moviechat's resident KKK member.
This is the usual demonization of non-Wokes, typical from religious ideologies. If you're non-Christian, then you must belong to a Satanist group. If you're non-Woke, then you must belong to the KKK.
Highly religious people don't understand how other people just don't share their faith. They need to assign them to some "evil" group. The KKK plays the same role for Wokes than Satanist groups played for Christians.

NO...YOU SPECIFICALLY ARE THE RESIDENT KKK MEMBER...THOSE POOR OTHER PEOPLE YOU'RE ATTEMPTING TO LUMP IN WITH YOURSELF DESERVE MORE RESPECT THAN THAT.π
Let's not move to the extreme opposite side. "All blacks are savages" is wrong. I don't mean morally, I mean factually wrong. What's true is that the percentage is much higher than in other ethnic groups, and when you have to live in a community, the average behavior matters. However, that's different from "all are".
The situation wonβt be any better. This topic demonstrates the foolishness of having a Politics section, from which doofesses like the OP can drift over into the entertainment area.
You cannot assign a value, like evil, to a werewolf. The transformed lycanthrope has no control over her motives and actions. The Prime Directive for every transformed lycanthrope is to kill what she loves the most.
I also donβt think the black ranger was a nice guy. He was an unassertive pussy whose gf dumped him.
