Yikes, do y'all see the type of original programming that Apple is planning on doing on their upcoming streaming service?:

https://deadline.com/2018/09/apple-...ming-series-as-too-violent-report-1202469777/

Cliffnotes:
- Dr. Dre's show was cancelled because it was too violent and had sex (an orgy)
- Jennifer Aniston & Reese Witherspoon's show was "toned down" at the script stage
- Whitney Cummings had a show that had #MeToo themes that was cancelled because it's "too sensitive"
- Shyamalan has a show but was asked to remove crucifixes hanging in people's houses
- Writers are being told if their show has violence or nudity don't bring it to Apple
- Apple is using Tim Cook's personal tastes as a barometer and he likes shows like Madam Secretary and Friday Night Lights

SMH. So Apple is basically doing Network TV-style dramas.




Look at the headline of this Gizmodo article: https://gizmodo.com/apples-upcoming-streaming-service-is-reportedly-so-blan-1829249910

Apple's Upcoming Streaming Service Is Reportedly So Bland Staff Are Calling It 'Expensive NBC'

LMAO. Apple's streaming service will be a flop (or atleast a disappoinment) if this is what their shooting for. I guess Apple is hoping the size of their already established Apple device userbase will coast them to success like with Apple Music.

Facebook Watch is riskier than that and I seen them edit out some curse words. lol.
 
Ok The Gifted Season 2
Strike one
Opening scene the have the black chick kill the only two black men on the council and the three white girls kill all the other men. Again not a single black man on there with any real power or depicted in a powerful light. Smh

So bad mutants killing off other bad mutants = bad???

Or put in real world equivalent : white racists women kill all of the white racists dudes within their inner clique, you sympathizing with the dudes???

Just saying....

They are about to introduce a black guy and I think I have an idea who he is(might be race-bending if Im correct.) as one of the most powerful mutants.

I trust this show. This is one of the most diverse shows on TV. NO where else for at least right now you are going to see an Native American & Asian IR couple. lol.

Also shatter is still on this show.

Shatter doesn't do anything barely any real screen time. I think Cloak and Dagger spoiled me. I want more of that

I get where you are coming from and all but still .....

Kinda like being upset that Trump doesn't have more black folks in positions of power in his cabinet or prominently on his inner circle.

I'm just saying its a great way to lose the fanbase that made the show possible in the first place.
 
Ra said:
The studio heads don't want to embrace the fantasy/sci-fi elements of the comics source material. Because Nolan's Batman Trilogy was such a critical darling with non-comic reading audiences, they are too focused on trying to have lighting strike again with that particular demo of the movie going audience rather than appeal to the actual comic familiar demo.

True. You'd think after Zack Snyder made the DCEU super-ultra-dark they would've learned their lesson

Out of all the race and gender swapping right now in genre stuff, Dr. Who makes the most sense because it's baked into the premise that he can regenerate into anybody. That won't stop the white boy butthurt however

I don't watch the show but felt the same way about Bishop in the X-Men comics. Everybody got to be a full-on X-Man but the black dude, they made him a cop, had him lost in time, cut his hair off, etc etc

Only way to lose the fanbase is if people saw that shit as being some kind of heroic/inspirational feminist moment. Some Evil bitches double crossing some evil bastards that were their bosses so now they are the bosses. Had it been evil dudes double crossing & killing evil dudes in that same exact manner would you still call foul as a some kind of message/hidden agenda?

Had Lorna been with them and aided in the killing, then I'd say they were trying to play it as some type of statement. But since Lorna clearly knows they are only using her as a tool/weapon to achieve their ends to become the new oppressors, same way she's using them as her tool/weapon to fight their human oppressors, it's standard villains being villains shit.

Like I said before black men are rarely represented in these shows and if they are they are ancillary at best non threatening comedy relief or sidekick at worst. I watched all last season and outside of the FBI dude no other black man had speaking roles. Then they present a black male character with some actual charisma they kill off within two minutes along with the other black guy who had a power that was actually threatening outside of brute force.
It feels orchestrated but just my opinion. I'll patiently wait for actual black male character little black boys want to dress up as for Halloween.

Y'all may recall Fox's Dark Phoenix was originally slated for November of this year. However, it was then pushed back to February 14, 2019. The studio even released a new trailer and poster touting that release date. But now it looks like they’ll need to update their marketing materials as the film has been pushed back again, this time to the summer movie season.

The new X-Men movie will drop on June 7, 2019.
