Jody was a bytch
Jody from Baby Boy gets a lot of hate…
- Thread starter DripSzn
- Start date
Melvin was wylin out when he fought Jody when they found the weed in the garden. "DEAL WITH HIM BEFORE I KILL HIM!" "NO LIL nikka YOU DON'T NEED TO BE LIKE ME, YOU COULD NEVER BE LIKE ME"
Hit that nikka with a fukkin Ivan Drago hook and had him dying on the ground while he ranting and raving
I love Baby Boy, my boys and I watched that shyt at least once a week when it came out, hilarious unintentional comedy

The rate at which this movie gets mentioned/discussed on here 
I didn't get this vibe at all.
Mothers like this are typically all in their son's business especially the women in his life. If that was indeed the case, she would have been bumping heads with his baby mamas constantly. She was cool with Yvette.....even giving her womanly advice.
Oan, Jody didn't have an Oedipus complex either. He was just an overgrown momma's boy. Melvin was just spouting nonsense like the typical ex-con who read a few books and thinks he's an expert on everything. Melvin had immediate resentment towards Jody because Jody "had it so good" compared to his own upbringing.
Melvin with his confirmed woman beating history likely didn't get much love from his own mom and was projecting it on Jody......and was low key jealous of him.

There is an entire generation who had the opportunity to watch Baby Boy every day. BET had that movie on damn near a continuous loop in the mid 2000s.The rate at which this movie gets mentioned/discussed on here
Don't even get me started on the edited for content and language version of Baby Boy, that's it's own thread entirely

It shows how families can be fukked and how cycles start. Jody was in no way ready to live on his own but his mother was trying to push him out the house
He was in no way ready to be a dad either but that’s another issue

Do do realize the naked cooking eggs shyt was on purpose right?…For how he acted towards Melvin, but let’s be real: What son is gonna be cool with their mom dating an ex-convict who beat women?
Placing myself in his shoes, I might of not have been as confrontational, but I could definitely understand where he was coming from.
Honestly, his mom doesn’t called out enough for her behavior. She lowkey used Jody as the man of the house till she got boyfriends.
This movie is so layered because you can go from being on Jody’s, to Melvin’s, and keep going back and forth till you see the middle ground.
You do know two Men can't occupy the same space at the same time right.
had Jody not bee choked out the next move was Juanita coming out the room wiping nut off her lips then kissing Jody.
Sure he was momma raised but he should've had pride that was the problem. He was ok living at his momma's house, not having any money no ambition. no heart and he was ok with his mom's being banged out damn near in his presence.It shows how families can be fukked and how cycles start.

I remember the fiasco of them presenting the basic cable version of The Wire it was so bad they had to cancel it.Don't even get me started on the edited for content and language version of Baby Boy, that's it's own thread entirely

Greatest unintentional comedy of all time
I get that it was a dramedy, but there were parts where Singleton(RIP) wanted it to clearly be serious and it was just ridiculously funny
