yeah your both both right about Mary having black blood and passing and it’s definitely an important pa🦹rt of history that isn’t often told or explored. I was trying address to differences of opinion to the author of the article and didn’t dive deep enough because I didn’t want to write pages and pages worth. I stand corrected, happily. I did feel like her boldness to confront the vamps came from her privilege of being light skinned and generally seen as white tho.

I agree with your understanding of the changing of acts momentum and tone. I think it’s one of my favorite gems hidden by Coogler. The wilder twins love interest a white woman ends up being his down fall. While the older wiser twins love interest becomes the heart of the rest of the movie. Many heroic black American men have died young and violently. We get the beauty of t🍃heir story and rise only to be left with violence and no resolution. Coogler didn’t make a horror film he made a documentary and disguised it as a horror film and as a black American man I feel like every character on screen was accurate in almost scary ways. One of Coog’s greatest talents. The music stopped being a focal point but black musicians often get cut off just as abruptly. I like your take but for me it’s what hit me the hardest and I went from story and extreme to another just like life in America is for some of us
