Donald Glover creating and starring in a ‘Mr. & Mrs. Smith’ TV series
- Thread starter Dr. Narcisse
- Start date
Donald and his co-showrunner Francesca Sloane have said their actively working on season 2, its just up to Amazon to greenlight it. Their bringing in Taofik Kolade, who wrote on both seasons 3 (The Old Man and The Tree) and 4 (Andrew Wyeth, Alfred’s World) of Atlanta into their writer’s room.
I’d say the chances of season 2 being greenlit are high seeing as the series has been highly critically acclaimed and i’m sure that Amazon wants to keep Donald happy seeing as he has an overall deal with them. I think he’s gearing to release more music soon so if he actually tours and promotes this particular album we might be waiting a lil min but i’m sure it’ll continue

@daemonova everybody in this damn thread!!!
That dude's agenda ain't my agenda, I only care about the one tweet, I ain't search his tl because I ain't care, yall making mountains out of molehill.
The show was supposed to be yt female black male, they ran into problems doing that, so the show ended up being about something else, with someone else. That is my interpretation of the tweet. The tweeter's history and intentions are irrelevant to me.
I can't even tell u what they say in the clip.

Netflix and Amazon really wrote blank checks to those Marvel hacks
it like they just don't get when there are so many spy/espionage/action/thriller's franchise with better white cac lead actor's and character's
they could have had a new take with Idris Elba be the lead with Damson Idris co-star as son or younger brother and bring some new life and black masculine energy to the spy/espionage genre not talking soul plane/ undercover brother blackness I'm talking more Wesley snipes passenger57/money Train/blade type black cool/swagger
a spy/espionage film with big budge action set pieces is what the people want to see Idris in the most I feel it would put his career back on track lik the Deadpool role/films did for Ryan Reynolds and fast and the furious did for the rock
I no Idris did Bastille Day but that was to low budget to be heat going up against the other spy/espionage/action/thriller's franchise
if they would have gave the two Idrisi's some thing like citadel/the gray man/ghosted/red notice/6 underground level budget/money and top directing talent behind the camera black twitter/social media would dame near market the movie for them
with all the generic spy/ assassin/hitman/espionage/action/thriller scripts out there it's amazing Idris hasn't taken it in his on hands put something together for himself like Ryan Reynolds did taking upon himself to put together Deadpool and get it off the ground it pretty much saved his career

GLOVER For me, I think I spent enough time not liking who I was, and now I look and I’m like, “None of these people know what the fukk they’re doing.”

Despite mentoring Black women like Malia, there’s this narrative that accuses you of misogynoir, Donald. You famously interviewed yourself for Interview magazine a few years ago, and you asked yourself, “Are you afraid of Black women?” Why did you wade in?
GLOVER I felt like it was something that people always say, but no one ever asked because I felt like people really don’t want to know. It is a better narrative. But anybody who actually knows me knows how much that hurts me.
It does?
GLOVER Of course. But I also realize it doesn’t matter. People are not going to read this and be like, “Wow, I was wrong.”
ERSKINE It hurts you, but what’s your process after, to be like, “But I don’t care”?
GLOVER To go play with my kids and be happy and be present. Because my kids know that and they’re the only ones who matter. Or my mom knows that, and she’s the only one who matters. Or Quinta [Brunson] knows that, and she’s the only one who matters. People who actually know me. And also, it’s not true. When I walk down the street in Atlanta, that’s not what happens.

Man, that last episode made me mad but I calmed down now. That "device" they used felt so cheap. Like comic book gimmick cheap. I didn't have a problem with the ending. I expect that from Glover. The show overall has more positive points then negative. . But they definitely could improve in a 2nd season. It's hard to get past this Asian woman face though. I"m not a love story person so some of their convos they had were hard to watch. Some of it was "cute". But some of it I was like "I don't really care this much to watch yall toxic mess". To use a cliche term. But compared to his other series (Atl, Swarm) this was my least favorite.

He's right. There's nothing he could say or do to convince those accusers that he doesn't hate black women. Maybe divorce the mother of his kids, and even then it would be temporary. Those accusations of Glover hating black women aren't based in any reality, just "feeling".
