Dope ass film. There were only two scenes that I didn't care for, and that was the music over time scene and that initial juke joint fight. For the former, I rolled my eyes when Delroy starting spouting that bullshyt about the soul of blues coming from Africa, before Coogler put all them African dancers and shyt on the screen. By the 1930s, we were HUNDREDS of years separated from Africa. Everything we came up with here has no damn basis in Africa. None. Miss me with that shyt and stop giving credit to a place that can't replicate that "soul" hundreds of years later.
For the latter, I was initially laughing my ass off because Grace wanting all the smoke before going full Leroy Jenkins and taking out herself and her husband was amazing, but I distinctly remember the number of ppl that ate them garlic cloves. 7, counting the no name nikka that was there. But as soon as the fight started in the joint, them vampires killed at least 5 random ass dudes before Stack got Annie. Where the fukk them ppl came from?
The mid-credits scene didn't bother me the way it did most ppl. Dwayne-Wayne stack and Mary Whitley really got me thinking them mfs had something to do with A Different World taking off in that film's history.
That cac having them nikkas out there River Dancing was the wildest scene in the film, hands down.
The vampires mocked the Lord's prayer
as a christian i was
but that was a level of depth i did not expect. As someone else said, it was the first time I've seen a movie that showed respect for and used voodoo above Christianity as a core dogma of the lead characters. I don't believe in voodoo or related religions but it is interesting to see in a film.
