This was supposed to be the Lawrence of Arabia of our generation.
capton amerricar
>>220276163Nobody likes Anthony Mackie including the blacks. Also, Arabs hate Black people
>>220276232hes twice the actor of Michael B-Movie Jordan
>>220276163I watched it, and it’s actually pretty good. It has some editing issues and some questionable story choices, but I enjoyed it overall.
>>220276266And only a fraction of the popularity or charisma. What a deal!
I simply do not believe in Anthony Mackie in a lead role
>>220276365twice the charisma but yeah not as popular
>>220276360slop consumer
>>220276163Its good because he's barely in it
>>220276390Well, he isn't in this move. He's a barely a side character. MArketing is just presentin him like a lead
>>220276232Why does everyone hate blacks?
>>220276411I have a Stubs card, so for 25 bucks a month, I can see four movies a week for free. I watch a lot of stuff.
>>220276505their actions over the last few centuries has really underscored what a difference there is between them and the other human species
>>220276163wait a minutenigger?.....
>>220276594yet other black actors are beloved
>>220276505the content of their character
>>220276163Casting Clarence from Grandbrook
>Literally what went wrong?>
It should have ended teasing a sequel with Mohammed in a post-credits scene (the battle was fought sometime between 604-611, Mohammed had the Quran revealed to him in 610 and started preaching around 613), that way it could benefited from:- Free publicity worldwide, news coverage, algorithmic recs, twitter trends, etc- Having contrarian chuds endorsing it just to own the muzdogs, maybe even go see it - Muslims everywhere seething and chimping out, maybe even decapitate someone over it - Being easy to censor for international markets by just cutting it without affecting the film itself
>>220276505socio-economic factors
>>220276163This guy hasn't been in a single good movie or tv show.
>>220277471This is an excellent idea. You should work in Hollywood. Actually, no. You shouldn't.
>>220276731>Were the vipers
>>220276163Saudi produced and funded movie. If you’ve ever worked with Saudi it makes perfect sense why it flopped.
>>220276614Morgan Freeman and Denzel Washington don't count because they're honorary Aryans, try again.
>>220276163Seems like the saudis forgot to market this one, literally did not know it was even a thing before seeing the news that it bombed
Captain africa america
>>220276163Saudi movie on deathwatch
Does it even need to be said "what went wrong"? I mean fucking look at it. It's just a series of unlikable things
It's not Mackie's fault.>Damon Wise of Deadline Hollywood writes that "extraordinary images" were captured by the director and cinematographer, but that the film ultimately turns into "a stodgy, sprawling, feminist, pre-Islamic Gandhi."[21]
>>220277585What's their end game? They're also spending unprecedented amounts of money to push into the video game industry. Are they trying to demoralise the west by ruining all our favourite shit? I don't see how they could ever produce media for the west in a cohesive way, given our massive cultural and morality differences
>>220276163Mackie is not leading man material. He's a sidekick actor. Any studio putting him as the lead is admitting they are too stupid for their job and should be fired immediately.
>>220276232I like Pain and Gain
>>220278532Probably just trying to diversify their portfolio and spread a little influence in the side. It reeks a bit of desperation though, so maybe there's something else to it idk
>>220278532>>220278570They know that if oil ever stops being the most important thing in the world, they are FUCKED. They are one mass adoption of the electric car away from being just another middle eastern shithole.
>>220278532China invested craploads in Crappywood productions during 2010s, then packed up their bags and took whatever they learned to soup up their studios and productions. Now they can self-sustain without needing to sell overseas.
>>220278538He needs to be part of a 2-hander at least. Arabs misread MCU dynamics
>>220278614It wouldn't be THAT sudden since the power for those cars probably means oil at some point, but obviously there's a lot of reason people want to lose reliance on it (practicality of that aside)
>>220278614Continental people speaking derisively of oil has to be the dumbest buy-in of psyop ever. EV cannot do long distance freight, but then enough people will die off to require the same old logistics.
I haven't even heard of it, and I tend to pay attention to new releases, so that's probably a big factor generally speaking
>>220278649>>220278656The point being is, they're trying to think 50, 100 years in the future. They have it fucking good right now, but they are one scientific marvel away from having their shit collapse, and turn into Zimbabwe.
>>220276505No reason at all. Dey just rayciss or summ.
>>220276163I liked him in The Hurt Locker. Other than that, not much
>>220278689The last scene in the humvee with Renner was the peak of his career, never acted that well again
>>220276505dey ugly
>>220278532>I don't see how they could ever produce media for the west in a cohesive way, given our massive cultural and morality differencesLol for a moment I thought you are talking about the leftist union that makes Hollywood movies today.
>>220276163Everyone's stick of Saudis whitewashing their reputation.
>>220276163This is the first time I’ve heard of this movie.
>>220278656>Continental people speaking derisively of oil has to be the dumbest buy-in of psyop everOh, that's just a successful Russian propaganda campaign using their Green fifth column. Look at Germany, forced to buy Russian gas because they fell for this Greta bullshit.
>>220276266That's true. Unfortunately for us B Jordan has better agent.
>>220278180this, the first time I heard abput this was a thread on here about it being a flop. Not a great sign
>we was dessert warrior
>>220276266They are both extremely average actors, but Mackie seems to be a nicer bloke.
THIS GUYS A DESERT WARRIOR?HIS REAL NAME'S CLARENCE
>>220278989Like saying dogshit is tastier than catshit.
>>220279208Fair enough I guess
>be Saudi movie about their own history>cast a niggerForget about chinks and jeets I think it's Saudis pushing Blacked
>>220279442You don't need to look further to find evidence of how ruthless they are. It's just about a return on investment. Clearly it didn't work here, though lmao
>>220279519I bet you they were scammed by some liberal producers from the West
>>220279570>some liberal producers from the West
>>220279442Still mostly jews
>>220276163Kek. He was fine as Captain America's buddy. That was his limit.
>>220276163Saudis didn't realize negros don't draw.
>>220276163This guy's no warrior, his name is Clarence.
>>220277585t. Dubai sultan
>>220276163First I've even heard of this movie and am immediately disappointed that it isn't a biopic of Askia and the peace-loving empire of Songhai.
>>220276163saudi investment
>>220276614This is like that twitter post saying no matter how obvious a rule is there's always a woman bringing up an exception.
>>220276163They cast an too ugly goat as the female lead
If blacks in europe were like the ones in the us they would have been genocided a long time ago
>>220278618But there aren't nearly enough people (that are treated like human beings) in Saudi Arabia to warrant nine-figure productions.
>>220282296You literally had George Floyd riots in EUSSR, shut the fuck up.
>>220276163>To revitalize our film industry, hire Hollywood's most unlikable nigger, money is no object!>Yes King Salami, it shall be done.Oil Arabs are the most retarded business people in the global economy.
>>220276505
>>220279592NTA but in my experience it's really inconsistent as to whether jannies will ban you for mentioning Jews.
>>220276584I'd kill myself if I had to watch four modern films a week
>>220282925Why is he swelling?
You can't destroy race relations the world over and then expect black films to be profitable.We will never get the likes of picrel ever again.
>>220276163I am constantly on the lookout for history movies. I have never heard of this movie. It must have been marketed horribly.
>>220276163I didn't even know this movie existed until 4chan and Youtube started ripping into the flop, so "good job" to the shitty marketing department.
>>220283285What do you think of Black Death?
>>220283109If Wesley Snipes did a new Blade movie, I think it would do well. I don't think race relations are as fucked-up as the SPLC types worked to achieve, and Blacks can carry a movie as the lead as long as it focuses on the story instead of on the superficial.
>>220276163Who will carry black kino after Denzel and Sam Jackson are gone? The old are not raising the new generation...
>>220278538>He's a sidekick actorAnd that's what he is in this movie. He's barely in it and barely has five lines. It should be called Desert Princess because it is her movie
>>220283452They pretty much are gone now. Their roles are much fewer than what used to be.
>>220283452Mackie, B. Jordan, Jaden Smith, ZendayaAll the stars are here
>>220281365Him using a straight sword instead of a curved one was very significant to my teenage self for some reason, it's as if the diablo 2 paladin was confirmed real.
>>220283367>If Wesley Snipes did a new Blade movie, I think it would do well.He looks like RuPaul.nowI doubt it
>>220283491>B. Jordan[Muffled "nigger" in the distance]
>>220283348>Bastid oot of tenis it good?
>>220276584>pay $25>they're free!
>>220283491B.Jordan looks good, but beyond being eye candy for women he's just so boring. I think all the actors you mentioned have this anxious thing over them, coming up in the social media era, so they're fully captured and abusing the inclusiveness shit and are super media trained. With the two legends it felt like they were above that which added to therir charisma and what movies were made for them. They've both become action movie shlock machines at this point but I don't think they're offered much else nowadays.
>>220276505I don't hate cute black girls
>>220276232Everyone but whites hate black people
>>220282959He went to the library
How did I not hear about this movie? Not even on 4chan? Surely there must have been threads posting the black man with "we wuz kangz" to attack the movie? How did I miss it?
>>220283722Whites hate them too, but they fell for the neoliberal "muh economy" meme
>>220276163I knew this movie existed, but I didn’t know it had a black lead. They are even doing it to the Arabs now. Last year was black samurai. What’s the end goal? Total black world?
>>220283767Nobody knew it existed
Lawrizzle of AwHellNawbia
>>220278738Anti Racism is just "kill the white man"
>>220276163>Sassanid Persian ruler oppresses the poor Arab heroesI assume this is some Saudi and Dubai investment scheme. Or that there's some Jewbux up for grabs for anyone making movies with Persians/Iranians as the bad guys?
>>220276163The lack of any historical epic warrior kino coming out like I had in my childhood makes up at least 25% of my chronic depression. We didn't play superheroes when I was a kid, sure we watched Raimi superman and played the games, but it was all about being knights and Aragorn and shit. If you told 11 year old me that Kingdom of heaven would be the last movie of its caliber to every come out I would have killed myself on the spot.
>>220276163It's weird, this movie had already finished filming over 4 years ago and they didn't even try to cash in on Mackie's Captain America hype early last year?
>>220276232Everyone on the planet hates Gulf Arabs, so anything they touch is not going to be successful with white audiences.
>>220276163Black protagonist. Same as that sci-fi movie “The Creator” that bombed because nobody wanted to see a black protagonist protecting a Chinese child because everyone knew how ridiculous that is. What wa she protecting him from? Himself?
>>220276505They don't season dey attitudes
>>220283669this
>>220276584This only reinforces the assertion that you are a slop consumer
I like AMak a lot. I would have a beer with him, I would buy it. The moment he "became" Captain America, and the show writers to him to bitch about it. REAL TALK NAGGERS he should have just taken the shield and said "hi whities" But falcon cried, he cried for 2 movies and two shows about being black. Meanwhile, Bucky...
>>220285079Dude worked hard and collected. I respect that a lot. He had Denzel pull when the game changed and the mouse found the trap.
>>220276163Zero marketing.
>>220276505Look at them, only retarded fags and whores with chronic savior complex find them attractive
>>220276390This is actually a girl boss movie. Mackie is promoted everywhere because the distributor that picked this up for a penny knew that would do een worse.
>funny Captain america sidekick >Netflix buck break him in that shitty episode>never recovers
>>220276505The correlation of being black and being a bad person is just too strong. It's sad because if I met a black person at work I wouldn't automatically assume they are a murderer or thief, but I wouldn't want them as a neighbor because they are just statistically way more likely to make everyone's life around them worse
>>220276163People are getting sick of desert tales
Never heard of it until this thread They didnt even try
>>220284467>Kingdom of heaven would be the last movie of its caliber to every come outkek that can¨'t be true, there is...fuck
>>220276163Another zero charisma black guy being pushed hard because of DEI.
I actually prefer this nigga to tryhards like that James or whatever Washington or that Michael some letter Jordan
>>220283109It's a shame. I'm an older zoomer and I was definitely one of the last in that era of being "color blind" being the right thing to do to defeat racism. Treat everybody the same, nobody their skin color. Now, of course, that's racist. "Silence is violence, If you don't denounce yourself and whites, you're a nazi."
>>220276266Two times zero is zero
>>220276505The males are violent, the females are ugly, both are low IQ....what's not to hate?
>>220278532>Are they trying to demoralise the west by ruining all our favourite shit?Sure buddy.
>>220283669Yeah and I don't hate unicorns

>>220276505I don't hate anybody, I just dislike the overall behavior of that certain group
>>220276163Mackie is box office poison.
>>220276163this is my first time even hearing about this. I'm surprised Mackey has carved out as much of a career for himself as he has.
>>220276163Are we actually pretending this weird propagandafilm that had zero marketing was supposed to be a huge hit?
>>220276202>Captain Americarbomb
>>220283767ive never heard of it either
>>220276163it was fanmade tier
>>220276390I simply do not believe in Anthony Mackie
>>220276163It went right. It was a $200 million write-off. Nobody actually thought people wanted to see a black guy in an Arabic action movie.
>>220287331The REAL inventor of all religion on this planet, this doomed bubble world, is the demiurge. You have to free your mind and understand what is happening behind the scenes lest you be spirit cooked. AI can solve this btw.
>>220290116this is a spook too
>>220276163It's produced by the Saudis. It's like when China was getting big actors to be in their movies and nobody gave a shit. The movie was picked up for distribution, but only shown on like 1000 screens. I think in the end the movie industry really doesn't want foreigner to subvert Hollywood anyway and even if the movie was good it would get sabotaged.
>>220276163it still can be
>>220276266still a nigger, bro.
>>220283669>I don't hate cute black girlsDoes she count?
>>220276505Have you met them?
>>220292652Looking at this, she isn't black, not really. More like weak coffee.
>>220276360>some questionable story choices,such as? so far the only thing that I heard is that it was a flop and was financed by Arab princes
>>220282925I'll hesitate to use something produced in a place called The Swamp
>>22028363825 bucks a month to see 4 movies a week means that really you’re only paying for the first 2 movies so that means you see the other 14 movies free if you really want to go to the theater 16 times a month
>>220276163Movies are a type of escapism. I don't want niggers, troons, jeets, fags in my escapism. It's not complicated retard
>>220276266>hes twice the actor of Michael B-Movie JordanSo? What is your fucking point? Nobody wanted to see him in it either.
>>220293633name a good movie
