Black Twitter going in on disgraceful Good Times animated Netflix reboot

[the bossman]

How? nikka ain’t write one word for the show… He was just one of the producers aka money man for funding

nikka damn sure at least saw the trailer footage and still co-signed his name on it.

This one the few times I'm seeing pretty much all black people on code. Everyone panning this across social media

 

[Tribal Outkast]

two different threads in less than 24 hours

yall already proving you cant control yourselves. hate watching gonna guarantee the second season of a show concept you despise

learn the game and start playing it

People don’t get it lol. They could get a million clicks from a million haters. It’s still a million clicks and that pretty much guarantees a second season. I watched the trailer myself so I’m guilty as well. You’re right.

It's funny cause Steph is actually probably at least 70% ADOS

It's just that both his parents are yella

Yeah Stephs parents are from Virginia and black folks from that mid-Atlantic Maryland-Virgina-NC area tend to be hella yella. Less removed from the first generation of Freemen than most other regions.

Steph name being on this, not a good look.

 

[Still Benefited]

nah that's disrespectful to pitch this as 'good times' reboot. the original show represented the struggle, but also promoted values and upliftment. this is like casting clayton bixby as mlk.

if they're going to make it a mockery comedy then change the name. don't do this disservice to our classics.

Thats all they had to do. And shame on any older black person that had any involvement with this shyt. I can get steph maybe not understanding the cultural impact of good times. As well as the wishes and struggles of the original actors,and what they wanted the show to be. But some of those people voicing the characters didnt blink an eye?


Soon as you saw the drug dealing baby,how could you not throw your arms up and say something? What would it have taken? A writer calling for the chsracters to be redrawn with darker skin redder lips,and more bug like eyes?


Whole time watching this i just kept imagining James Evans in a writers room whupping everybody asses involved

 

[Killer Instinct]

This ain't Good Times...

 

[MrLogic]

Shaking my damn head...

fukk Seth McFarlan.

 

[Easy-E]

C'mon brehs, support black actors

You excused the millionaire with control, access and resources lol
Put more blame on voice actors who are small fish compared to Steph….I don’t understand y’all logic

 

[TEH]

Looks like another version of The Pj's . Will it have a reoccurring crackhead too?

It does seem dated. Like someone who met some black folks once in the early 90’s wrote it.

 

[Field Marshall Bradley]

Soon as you saw the drug dealing baby,

So nikkas didn’t laugh at Chapelle’s drug dealing baby joke?

 

[klientel]

Somebody pitched this idea in a room full of decision makers and they liked it….think about that

 

[Justin Nitsuj]

This shyt right here made me cancel my Netflix subscription indefinitely.
