Lol I remember that...I still showed up day one
.I think McGruder alludes to that in this interview:
Aaron McGruder of 'Boondocks' on Working with George Lucas and His Future In Comics

People underestimate how poor a writer John Ridley is. The only thing worth mentioning that he's written is 12 Years A Slave and the beef with Steve McQueen made it all too clear that McQueen had a heavy hand in the writing that was left uncredited.
Dude wrote Undercover Brother before Red Tails if that was any indication.People underestimate how poor a writer John Ridley is.

He has some sitcom writing on his resume also
They tried to make fast and furious with historical airplanes. terrible concept.
The story deserves an band of brothers type of approach. was kinda insulting actually.
HBO version >>>>

NEYO was GOD awful! Him and the dude that died while flying the plane were painful on screen.
We need a world war 2 movie about black soldiers that is rated R. Show all the racism and shyt we dealt with from both sides while still coming out on top. WW2 black combat vets are superhero’s. No other race could have acccomplished what we did.

I think Lucas wanted to give an up and coming black director a chance to direct a story what would certainly benefit from having a black voice at the helm. Of course, Anthony Hemingway has obviously stuck to television, so I suppose there's something to that criticism, but not enough that I think he shouldn't have been tapped for the film.

We had already seen too many movies / stories ect about the Tuskegee Airmen, Miracle at St. Anna was a better, more interesting movie IMO
Your capping nobody gave those guys anything but a documentary. Miracle at st Anna was disrespectful asf, and trash. Spike Lee was and is overrated and past his prime. He couldn't pull off a war movie either. Stupid ass plot points like making the two brehs fight over a girl a random white girl. No other war movie did that. Spike lee had no respect for the soldiers and it showed.
Red tails needed either an assemble or a main character that can carry it. Nate Parker was never a star, a promising actor but not talented.
Hollywood doesn't have enough young black male actors to make an assemble cast. For a WW1 or a Ww2 movie.
