Is it too early to have the Coogler>>>>Spike Lee argument?

[RickyDiBiase]

Why do we do this all the damn time!!!!??

It's harmless to do so breh and it can be fun

 

[Luke Cage]

Never thought too much about Spike Lee as a director tbh. But he was important for black representation in directing.

 

[Jaguar93]

The next MJ, the next Nas, the next Pac, better than Denzel, better than Carl Franklin, etc etc. Let these folks be themselves first and solidify their careers. Y’all be bringing unnecessary hate to these bruhs with these comparisons lol.

 

[shopthatwrecks]

Yes. At this point his Coogler's career, is where Spike was at Malcolm X.

Spike lost his fast ball or at least consistency after that, but I can't put coogler above him at this point in his careers. Malcom X and Do the right thing are better than all Coogler movies thus far.

shiiid coogler make a mo better blues.. then we can talk

 

[Rn.]

Yall lost yall fukkin minds

 

[Bryan Danielson]

Spike was at his time
Coogler is at this time

I dont wanna compare black on black

Coogler>>>>>>>>>>> that hack Zack Snyder

 

[Black Panther]

Hell no, but he's definitely on his way to being one of the GOATs.

 

[DJSmooth]

He not even better than Jordan Peele

 

[MooseMouthMthafuga]

Nah...He's the Christina Aguilera to Spike's Whitney Houston.

 

[Peter Popoff]

Coogler = F. Gary Gray

No.

 

[UnQuantized]

Until Coogler makes something of the calibre of Malcolm X and Mo Better Blues no and I believe his next project is an X-Files remake. They have completely different sensibilities, just very different in their Directing choices, hard to compare.

 

[Still Benefited]

Wake me when Coogler makes a movie like X

Yes. At this point his Coogler's career, is where Spike was at Malcolm X.

Spike lost his fast ball or at least consistency after that, but I can't put coogler above him at this point in his careers. Malcom X and Do the right thing are better than all Coogler movies thus far.

Yall saw Judas and The Black Messiah and are still making this statement


I didnt think X was that good before I knew anything about Malcolm X. It gets worst after you learn about Malcolm X. That whole little bullshyt section where hes doing the jitterbug with Spike Lee and has a white woman couldve been left out. 30-45 minutes of time wasted just so Spike could get some screen time I guess. Then dont get me started on Denzels portrayl where he plays Denzel,and doesnt look anything like Malcolm X.

I definitely dont think this should be the quintessential Malcolm X biography. Maybe Coogler can be tapped to do another one

 

[King_Kamala61]

Y'all on this Negro dikk a lil too easy and much

 

[Crude]

Too early, but if I’m keeping it a buck I only liked Malcolm X, He Got Game, School Daze, The Inside Man, and Do the Right Thing from Spike Lee.

Some of his other work that is revered I thought was kinda meh.

That said I’m going to give Spike the benefit of doubt just based on consistency and say Coogler hasn’t passed him yet, but I think he eventually will.

I already personally prefer Coogler’s work.

 

[Doobie Doo]

Spike was at his time
Coogler is at this time

I dont wanna compare black on black

Coogler>>>>>>>>>>> that hack Zack Snyder

Aside from them being black filmmakers what exactly do they have in common? Coogler is more sci-fi/action and Spike is drama/comedy. They don't even work in the same genres.
