Folks Already Complaining About Boondocks Season #4 (Just because the creator didn't contribute)

I honestly think Aaron started to feel the weight of the continuing controversy from a business/career perspective because his last lines about "...leaving that all behind..." is indirectly telling a struggle he no longer wants to deal with.
Or that he's outgrown. At least thats what it sounds like to me.

Wish they could have kept this under wraps until halfway thru the season or something. I understand the "he's not involved so I'll watch an episode or two to see if it's still on point" opinion, but not watching the show at all? That doesn't make sense. If it's trash, then by all means don't watch, but to not even give it a one episode chance is a little off.

Yeah I read that statement and it's completely ambiguous, "Hollywood is a business" can mean literally anything and you can interpret it any way you want to support your opinion on why he left
It is telling that said nothing like "the show is in good hands" and had nothing positive to say about the upcoming season. The quote about grudges is the only indicator that something messy occurred, but still leaves us in the dark as to what level and who was involved.
Still we really won't know until he tells us exactly what happened and that might not be for years, I'm sure he still gets a paycheck for the show and doesn't wanna jeopardize its success with controversy

"just because the creator didnt contribute"
I think youre under-selling what Aaron McGruder is to the Boondocks. Not only did he create the characters and show, but its his vision. He has a vision for how the show is supposed to be created and given to his audience. His vision is not only dependent on social events but its also un-replaceable. Alot of the true fans of the show fell in love wit the show because of Aaron's vision and social commentary embedded in the show. This isnt something you can just replace with other writers. So, people are justified in their concern. Now, I did read some of the same writers from previous season will be back, but who's vision are they writing from?

Hopefully they got some writers from the Black Dynamite cartoon on board.

Man I'm just going off Rodney's words (co-writer) that I heard him speak straight out of his mouth...
He said they write an episode then they give it to Aaron and he goes somewhere, TAKES HIS TIME, and tweaks it and then thats what they go with...
He said he's never not liked what he changed, but what he changed was something he'd never have thought to do...

Again bruh...
I'm telling you THE WRITING TEAM IS VIRTUALLY THE SAME minus Aaron McGruder "reviewing" each episode...

You don't understand sarcasm do you...
His next show will be called Black Jesus...
Don't you think that will be much more controversial than the Boondocks?
Bottom line is Aaron was the hold up for Season 4 and Sony finally had to move on without him...

I have little doubt that it will be BETTER than before
Not every episode needs to change the world or mean something more than just being a good episode...
