this seems unnecessarily difficult towards someone who's genuinely just enthused about movies

I really don't have anything nice to say here, so let's just say that if you like the guy's writing and thinking, bless. I've finally had enough.

There's a difference between not liking someone's POV/style and being completely and utterly unwilling to engage in dissenting debate.

Running into Phantom Thread, so maybe you can gift me with a surprise when I get out: what the fuck does DTRT's (glorious) street theatre have to do with the (glorious) Afrofuturism of BP? Apart from being wholly uncompromised expressions of black filmmakers? Looking forward.

Well if you read the essay, as you refuse to do, you would know that you're just arguing about textures instead of the core thematic message of duality of the black identity, which is virtually the same in both films. But again. The gifts already sitting there.

The qualifier is doing a lot of work in that tweet. And frankly, if its connection to Do the Right Thing is a pseudo-recreation of an MLK/Malcolm X dynamic in a comic book movie, Bryan Singer did it 20 years ago (though not as well or in a specifically black context)

FWIW The essay makes the argument.

Read it. Still unconvinced the film rises above a very entertaining, ideologically muddled piece of blockbuster entertainment. Deeply troubled by the straw-manning of white critics who have reasoned, substantial criticism of the film.

Yes, the well-being of white critics is clearly the most deeply troubling thing about this discussion (i get this echoes your point, but...)

It’s certainly not the worst thing about the general discourse, but it jumped out of your piece. My broader point is I think BP merely pays lip service to the dual black identity that DTRT is interrogating at every turn.
