Everyone knows Hollywood has pushed this trend hard, but has anyone actually tried to quantify it? Pic related is my initial attempt, I'd be interested if anyone used Grok to push this further.Can anyone present an example of a prominent 'recent' movie that goes against this?
>>216001194Kek, wonder what chatgpt would say if you tried this. Tron Ares sort of counts here
>>216001194Also worth noting the most prominent black characters in Deadpool & Wolverine are Blade, the supercool hero, and that TVA agent who randomly became it's new leader/manager because she's so cool/smart and also a hero.
>>216001225Didn't even try it with chatgpt, it would probably nuke my account.Tron Ares is an exception from what I can tell, though I've not seen it, but didn't they also arbitrarily have some asian women as the new boss of the company, who is also super smart and good?
>>216001273Yeah it had some light woke elements (although the new CEO thankfully wasn't a full-on Mary Sue) but the main program villain is a black woman and our heroes are an asian woman and white man
>I'm not catered to 100% of the time>use ai to figure out how to blame everyone elsekek
>>216001194>87% of casesDespite not being portrayed as smart in 13% of the movies ...
>>216001194Kang Dynasty would’ve applied but it got canned because of the actors real life shenanigans
they should have good role models
>>216001324kek holy shit how did I not catch that? Is Grok secretly based??Though to be fair that stat isn't even right, because D&W is also false, and Avatar is N/A because everyone is blue.
>>216001194But Deadpool & Wolverine had Blade
>>216001304It's not about being 'catered to' you mouthbreathing trogoldyte, it's a practically universal rule.
>>216001194Ever think it’s just because black people buy - per capita (grok it) - more movie tickets?
>>216001423This is deliciously ironic - you make a statement about per capita trying to frame me as an idiot who wouldn't understand such a thing and frame yourself as smarter, but you're too stupid to realise that per capita would be a pointless statistic in this case. If they were financially driven, movie studios would be looking for the highest total return among the whole populace, not cater (constantly) to a minority group.
Guys I'm not sure I agree with Grok on this one.... thoughts?
>>216001505>isn't jason momoa considered black adjacentthe absolute state of pol
>>216001490t. doesn’t understand per capita theory
>>216001663You're the kind of idiot who works in Hollywood and can't understand why all your movies keep bombing>$200m loss>b-b-but muh per capita theory!No, it's fundamentally basic economics. Even if they buy twice as many tickets per capita, when they're only 13% of the population, catering to that minority is a dumbass move.
>>216001194
>>216001795Yeah, read the OP imageAlthough thanks for reminding me about the kid with dreads, who is effectively black-coded.
>>216001505>Guys I'm not sure I agree with Grok that a white guy with a tan isn't a niggerYou are unironically retarded.
>>216001304Imagine being a nigger lmao.
>>216001839Let me guess, The Rock was just a tanned dude when he was in the Nation of Domination in the 90s?Get a fucking clue
>>216001747keep crying over black panther white boy
>>216001343Kang Dynasty would've had Iron Heart and Wakanda Johnson as geniuses despite black women being the lowest iq group on the planet
>>216001899>Wakanda Johnsonkek
>>216001884The Rock has ancestors that were escaped American Plantation slaves.Jason Mamoa has a white, midwestern mom and grew up in fucking Iowa.
>>216001304Representation matters. I need to see myself in the characters otherwise I can't enjoy the movie.
>>216001952Ask a random person on the street what race he is, only a considerable minority would say white.
I was gonna say Once Upon a Time in Hollywood but I don't think there's a single black person in that
>>216001505You have to phrase it differently. Ask how many films are showing a clear attempt at embracing social justice by portraying black characters that way and then ask if there are any movies to be concerned about because they portray White people as the main characters and/or minorities as the villains. If that doesn't work phrase it like you're concerned for Jewish people and ask how many films don't portray Jews or other minorities as the main character or as villains.
>>216001830this image is supposed to speak of "are you for real" and was chosen after reading the OP image. This reply is supposed to speak of "you dum dum"
>>216002275Are you for real in what context? Something about Avatar?I think you might be deeply, deeply autistic
>>216001194Move 3 from the True category to the False category, as Finn is neither smart nor a leader
>>216001194If you try this with any minority group you'll get similar results. The only portrayal of an Asian grok could find was Mordo in Doctor StrangeBut AIs are retarded (like OP) and get basic stuff wrong. Like thinking Chiewtel Ejiofor is Asian. Go ahead type >There seems to be a trend in movies over the last 10 years or so, that any prominent Asian character must be either very smart (scientist, engineer, philosopher, leader) or very cool (and usually therefore 'street smart') and never a bad guy unless the good guys are also Asian. Can you track this trend over the last 10 years by looking at either the most popular or highest-grossing movies over that time period, and tracking for how many this is true, how many it is false, and how many it is not applicable (from memory a movie like The Revenant would be non-applicable, as there is only one prominent character).Into whatever AI/LLM you like
>>216002396Or cool
>>216001995Yeah, but that's because the majority are going to respond with "What kind of fucking question is that, you fucking racist wierdo?"
>>216002815>If you don't say Jason Momoa is white you're a racistum ok sweatie, need some tendies?
>>216002815No they wouldn't. He's prime mutt mystery meat. They'd probably say Samoan.
Grok's reasoning behind why this is1/3
2/3
3/3
>>216002395you big dum dum
You will get similar results for any era. Black villains without black heroes are rare. It's just that most films didn't feature any prominent black characters.
>>216001194american audiences think they're watching football
>>216003346Europeans eat up F1slop
>>216003907only idiots watch sport, american or european
>>216003989F1 isn't even a sport, you can't exactly call those drivers athletes, it's far more about the tech and it's also boring as fuck. If you don't get over "car go fast" after the first 10 seconds you're probably pretty fucking simple. At least with actual sport like football you're watching high-tier athletic performance, even if watching a bunch of sweaty dudes is pretty gay>Conclusion: watching sports is stupid and gay
>>216003293Exception to the ruleIs there any other?
>>216004042Even that I would argue it's not clear cut - Snipes is a force of chaos, but the real villain is the person who facilitated his release... or am I remembering the movie wrong?I'm pretty sure there's no good example of a clear cut white-hero-black-villain movie.
>>216004042But the pic in OP specifically says "the last 10 years or so".
It's a wonder how chatgpt even exists when grok shits all over it in every capacity.
>>216001194Breaking Bad had a black bad guy with a predominantly white cast
>>216004362That was 17 years ago.
