#sinners rant

[c0tt0ncandi]

Maaaaaaaaaaaaaan. I JUST bought a physical copy of Sinners. I went to click on that Annie and Mary deleted scene. At first I was like awww then I got pissed off AGAIN!!!!! ANNIE WAS ABOUT TO MAKE HER BITCH ASS A FRESH CATFISH SANDWICH AND THE BITCH WALKS OFF TO TALK TO STACK!!!! SHE WAS MAKING YOU A FRESH SANDWICH!!!!! YOUR ASS COULD'VE WAITED!!!!! HAD SHE ATE IT SHE WOULD'VE BEEN KNOCKED OUT AND NONE OF THIS SHIT WOULD'VE HAPPENED!

Remmick does NOT care about Annie

I actually need to find out where people are getting the misinfo of "remmick wanted Annie hoodoo abilities" bc it's genuinely making me mad. I hate to say it, remmick did not give a single flying fuck about her. He did not even speak to her directly at all in the film. Remmick only cares about Sammie, and that's it. Point blank. Now MARY and STACK care about Annie. They're the ones going after her. And Remmick let's them bc more people in the vampy family. But he doesn't actually care about her. He doesn't even speak ABOUT her. She takes up as much room in his head as Pearline does. Which is to say, none. But anyway, there does not exist a scene where Remmick shows any thought towards Annie, bc if he did, don't you think he'd be a lot more pissed about her death? And if you say "oh, we'll i read in this article from (college i forgot the name of)" they are lying to you. Watch the movie again. Bc you will not find a scene where Remmick talks to or about Annie. Only Stack and Mary do. And the reason they want her is because she's family! They don't want her bc of hoodoo reasons, they want her bc they love her! And T B H i find it a bit racist that Annie needs to be "useful" to be wanted. Annie could not know jack shit about hoodoo and not only would Stack and Mary still want her, but Remmick would still not give a shit about her!"oh but the hivemind-" fine. Then why doesn't Mary OR Stack ever mention her hoodoo? Why? BC THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT IT! Remmi the rat just let's them do their thing bc it doesn't hinder his plans. In remmicks mind, Sammie WILL be turned into a vampire, EVERYONE will be turned into a vampire, so what's the harm in letting Stack and Mary target Annie? "Oh Sarah, why does this matter so much to you?" BC I'M AUTISTIC, LOVE ANALYSIS, AND HATE MISUNDERSTANDINGS FOR OBVIOUS REASONS!

SINNERS RANT

some people believe that the criticism of remmick is also hating on irish culture or him celebrating it. wrong! the scene of them all dancing around him when he’s performing a rocky road to dublin is unnerving. he stole everyone’s life and energy, to have them dance and parade around him, like he’s something to be revered. they were his puppets in his personal cult. he was taunting the survivors in the juke, wielding his power whilst showcasing how he could succeed. a hive mindset. his means do not justify his ends. he is an extremely complex character, and his defenders or arguments of him “just wanting his family/ culture back” is stripping him of his layers that burnt away with the rising sun. he was evil, sure the lesser of two evils but evil none the less.

I hate when I hyperfixate on something and then get in too deep and hurt my own feelings. Sinners rant. Wunmi and Michael rant.

I was scrolling and saw that video of the cast standing outside for pictures. It's actually two videos like that. When Wunmi is wearing a blue dress and one where she's wearing a floral dress I think. Mind you in both videos she's standing next to Michael. Why is it that they ALWAYS split them up? Why is it a problem to have this full figured dark skin woman standing next to MBJ the star of the movie?

Ryan Coogler literally looks like he goes in for a hug, but tells her something. Her smile drops and he stands between them. Why? She and Hailee were literally laughing together and he comes over to stop her with a "hug."

Why?

The other time she and Michael had a moment where they both looked at each other and smiled then held hands. He lets her hand go and shoved Miles in between them and once again her smile drops. Why? Even during interviews they sat him away from her or had someone sit between them as if it's forbidden.

I understand I'm taking it personal because I always care about what's going on with black women and how they're being treated. So I'm not going to ignore that, however this is being done on purpose. Videos of Michael and Wunmi usually involve such admiration and or laughs so why would you not want to push that? Black women are usually always the biggest supporters so why not cater to us as well when it comes to interviews, seating arrangements, and pairings?

Why do we have to watch one of ours get pushed aside? We'd like to see one of us get some love too. Was Annie not as important to the movie as Mary? Like what's happening? Why?

[c0tt0ncandi]

Sooooo did SHE just remove herself from this film once it seemed like WB took a step back? Because y'all shoved her in our faces, you paired her with MBJ for every interview, and made her the focal point. Like I'm not mad that I don't see much of her, but I am mad that we had to wait this long to get this kind of attention on Michael and Wunmi. Hell even Delroy! Like I don't know I hope I don't sound like I'm complaining, but it's just something I've noticed. (Because y'all know that never sat right with me.)

I'm so happy that "living legend" comment was brought up. I thought I was the only one confused by that statement lol

Straight up I'm blocking on sight anyone talking about Remmick while ignoring his actual characterization and shipping him with basically anyone else in the cast as if they could ever have even a semblance of a healthy relationship, I am not playing, get that white man vampire OUT OF MY FACE

I stg we did not watch the same movie, seeing people basically hallucinating a characterization to Remmick that isn't there. Him running to bite his victims doesn't automatically mean he's romantically/sexually into them, he's a vampire his whole schtick is biting people come ON now!!! Him wanting to literally possess Sammie practically like a possession is racist to its core and NOT A ROMANTIC INTENTION??? Just say you don't give a fuck about the actual content of the movie and want to shallowly center the white man. It's amanormative racist bullshit and I hate it and it is indicative of fandom anti-black racism.

If you were to explore a relationship with Remmick while acknowledging the movie's actual characterization, you'd need to understand that any relationship with him is a toxic one. And there's plenty of meat to be had to sink your teeth into about writing and depicting a toxic relationship of that nature! Don't shy away from the toxicity, that's what makes it interesting. But I can't trust fellow white folk to treat it right so begone with thine white vampire.
