Just watched Sinners
Can anyone enlighten me on why they picked on Irish immigrants? Did blues get coopted by Irish historically?
I don’t get it

Yeah but they also made him really cool and charismatic and he absolutely killed it on the Irish folk songs, while the KKK were just some fat white doofuses. Like, clearly the Irish vampire gets more respect here.
I don’t follow that logic at all. They made him evil.
I mean, IDK how else to explain it…the logic is that he’s cool as hell?
Ryan Coogler also made black panther, with killmonger, a sympathetic villain who was cool while being evil. Same principal imo
He wasn’t cool. He was evil.
Cool and evil are mutually exclusive.
Fictional evil characters are extremely popular in media.
Jack O’Connell is a talented, conventionally attractive man and his character was powerful, charismatic, and compelling.
He was supernaturally evil and that evil wasn’t tied to him being Irish. He was depicted as more sympathetic than the KKK who sought to kill out of hate instead of a supernatural compulsion.
Did you read what I wrote? Kilmonger was cool and had a sympathetic backstory. Nevertheless, he also killed people. Definitely not mutually exclusive
Good bit
