Trailer doesn't look half bad, but....


Do they have to keep slinging the made up diversity nonsense? The movie is clearly set in a time of segregation, yet here we go with the black and white kids playing as one. Sorry but it would be nice if they could stop this type of BS casting just once and cast a movie for how it would have been in reality instead of the liberal perfect harmony BS.

It's a great looking trailer but I'm going to post the link to it in another topic because I don't want to think about more people coming into this topic and reading another snowflake complaining about seeing black people in a movie.

Well my best guess is they know this is segregation, and maybe that's a side plot of the movie? We weren't given much in the movie on what was changed in the movie, so we may have to wait and see what Burton decided to do. Also you talk about reality, but I think when a movie has an elephant flying, reality isn't really much of an issue at this point

Sometimes (many times) simply looking at the title of a thread will tell you all you need to know about said thread, ‘specially when that thread concerns a movie that perhaps showed a little too much color, so to speak.

Decrying modern “wussy” liberal Hollywood’s love for diversity or for their non-backwards views in general? Yawn. Hundreds if not thousands of these threads are made on this site daily (there is a yuge drumpf fanbase here, so it’s no surprise). A token minority is bad enough, for Christ’s sake! Quit unnecessarily featuring more than enough color folks in movies (in positive roles, no less) otherwise I’ll cry about Hollywood PC liberalism!

Segregation... so that means it should be based in reality, huh? If only that were your real complaint... like it should matter in a fantasy movie... but I know you snowflake cons all too well. Nice try. If Hollywood continues with that imperfect but nevertheless progressive propaganda that’ll keep triggering your kind, then more power to them! Lovely trailer btw

I guess this is the racists' new angle when it comes to complaining about anyone who isn't white. They can claim it's just "accuracy" and not racism.

Just like how fans of slavery claim the Civil War was about "states' rights" and not about slavery... States' rights to keep slavery legal, of course.

Go look at history ya ignorant fool. IF the Civil War really about slavery then why didn't Lincoln free all the slaves instead of just claim that the slaves in confederate states were free. A prime example was Missouri, slavery was legal there until January of 1965 which was 2 years after Lincoln's emancipation proclamation... but because Missouri wasn't one of the confederate state Lincoln didn't free the slaves in that state which is a pretty damn clear indication that slavery wasn't the real reason for the Civil War. Maybe you should trying using an actual history book instead of wikipedia as clearly your source is fucking wrong. The only role slavery had in the Civil War was in propaganda in the North to get people on board for a war that they really had no desire to be in.

As expected, one glance at your trolling posts QUICKLY gives me two examples where you complain about black people:

Obviously I'm not going to bother with the racist, mindless bullshit ranting about the Civil War from an alt-right-styled troll.

reply

No your not going to respond because everything in those two posts you pulled up were spot on correct. As for being alt-right.... well you missed it there dumb as I'm a bi-racial democrat but unlike most democrats I didn't turn my brain off when I joined the party. I just call it like I see it and when you cram a black into a roll just to do it then it is flat out wrong. How does it help blacks in America if everytime a black actor turns up in a show he isn't there because it makes sense but only because it fills a quota? It does nothing positive for anyone beside the black actor that got a paycheck, it actually does more harm to blacks in general. So go sell you BS somewhere else.

Nico Parker? She's biracial.
