THEM: Prime Original Series 4/9/21(Season 2: 4/25/24)

[Blankthawtz]

Just watched ep 5....it may be the desensitized part of me talking but I feel the scene was much more tame than how people are reacting to it in here....the brutality scene in "A Time To Kill" was much worse imo...... The scene in Them depicted what probably happened a lot in those days with how they treated Black folk.... It was cruel but not to the point of tossing the season....

*on to episode 6*

Dude stfu - this is a discussion. They can talk about whatever they choose. Who made you the Discussion Dictator? Just like you can choose to ignore the commentary.

Really struck a nerve and the irony is that I just saw that Kevin Samuels stream about some millennial Black guys online always acting like whiny, irrationally emotional bytches just last night. Now here y’all are exhibiting that behavior about some shyt that you can easily ignore

I was gonna give it a shot tonight, but after reading y’all opinions on it I’m gonna have to I’m not trying to watch some racist piece of shyt pretending to be the opposite .

 

[Ducktales]

Do y’all always have to have temper tantrums and write think pieces like a group of Twitter bytches every time you are not into something? Just turn it off or do not watch if you are really that “traumatized and tired” as normal people do. The shyt does not require all of that. It is really intriguing because Kevin Samuels speaks about guys becoming so feminized not being because of homosexuality, as people on here love to say, but because of being raised by women and how you see that feminization online with how bytchy/temperamental/irrationally emotional guys act. All of these temper tantrums about easily avoidable shyt prove it. Stop acting like a group of bytches already

It’s the film room (not locker room) where people watch and critique film relax

Bruh. You should no better than to listen to the fukking coli dot com's opinion

 

[Left.A1]

I have not even seen it, but I am tired of the bytchiness of guys online

Stop acting irrationally emotional like bitter Twitter bytches and begin acting like grown ass guys

Why are not just not watch or pay any attention as every other sane adult does?

Between the bytch fits with this and that Lil Nas X video, adults online are appearing very unhinged

The anti emotional militant getting emotional in long winded proses on an internet chat board where he complains about complaining





2021 y'all

Breh... Don't be afraid to Form your own opinion through your own experience...

Midway through and I get it. It's about the realistic struggles of black people trying to integrate while still dealing with their own post traumatic slave disorder that black people to this day still have. It's a no wonder why people on this thread are triggered from this show because we still are dealing with emotional trauma that many haven't yet acknowledged within themselves.

You're giving it way too much credit.

Since you watched it and liked it though what did you think of the subplot with the racist white lady neighbor?
It was really weird how they were trying to show her backstory and then having her be kidnapped as a way to somehow make the viewer sympathize with her despite her horrific racism even though none of the shyt that happened to her with her parents had anything to do with her being a horrible person.
It just seemed like an odd pivot for the character that was being set up early on as a primary antagonist. And the kidnapping subplot just totally removed her from the rest of the show which was also an odd creative choice.

Posted this in the TLR but this explains everything.

Another self hating black filmmaker like Lee Daniels. He wants to punish all black people because he wasn’t born white, some black kids called him a gay nerd when he was a child and because he wants to please the white men that he wants to be with.

Can we keep the discussion to the content of the show instead of speculating about the creators motivations and using ad hominem attacks? There are articles out there where Marvin explains what inspired him to write the show, and it has nothing to do with anything you said. Also, you’re delusional if you think racist White people enjoy this show, they were the first to lead the 1* review brigade because it paints whites as monsters and explores history they’re uncomfortable with. Same thing happened to the Watchmen show


edit: here we go, already turning into a retarded ass TLR thread

No, thank you.

I’m a woman dumbass. Again, shut the fuk up. They can talk about what they want . The irony of you doing the most bytching on this thread though. Now go back to watching your YouTube daddy, you sound like you need one.

i think that I might make about 10 more comments in this thread on the movie subject matter just to make you even more agitated. Thx for the motivation.
