idk how big of a deal this specific media is, but I think mainstream/‘uncritical’ media is some of the stuff that most deserves a critical a***ysis. Bc that’s the stuff being circulated the most

Bro wanted an Insecure meets Tom & Jerry movie

I entered the thread thinking it was a joke but really it’s disappointing yet unsurprising how resistant/uncomfortable film people are to critical race theory being applied to ‘nostalgic’ and/or entertainment media as if that’s somehow exempt. As if contemporary appeals to nostalgia and cheap entertainment aren’t quite often regressive Wolf in sheep’s wool type material

On Facebook and black Twitter you got ppl laughing and saying the movie def had black writers with the jokes/music and voice acting present. Here we have some nerds saying it's racist that Jerry was listening to rap music in the shower lmfao

tom & jerry sucks ass anyway. always has and always will tbh. they really have 0 creativity to make a movie off this garbage

The recent use of the word “problematic” when talking about media / people is the most p**** s*** ever

You dweebs gonna head to lil rels dms and call him out for participating in the racism? 😂😂😂😂😂🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

Aight
'I Think The New Tom & Jerry Reinforces Constructs Of Systemic Racism'

Like what do you want me to say fam? 😂 I watched the movie and I don't necessarily think the creators were racist. I have no idea what race the writers were or their intentions. I just think what I saw was a little jarring and I wanted to open a discussion about it.

Lock this trash mods

Bro its just a discussion. You don't have to be so pressed.

LMFAO

Bro it's just a question you don't have to be so pressed

Wild how people are coming back itt a second and third time to s*** on me for trying to open a dialogue.

I never said cancel everyone involved. I was even upfront and honest that I hadn't seen much of the film and that maybe I was off mark. Open to being corrected. And I have been. I had completely forgotten they changed the main human to a blonde woman in the cartoon, so in hindsight that point looks p dumb. And thats honestly fine.

But some posters are so pressed. Look within yourselves, fr

the funniest part about tom and jerry is that there’s barely any talking so that is kinda sus

apparently nobody like this movie, and i just watched the trailer for the first time and it looks brain deadly corny

Honestly expected the TV & Film section to be a little more open minded and have more fruitful dialogue than others sections, tbh.

Bro it's a 60 year old cartoon, what did you expect lol

put this on for my brother and it looked like something straight from 2006 so im not suprised

I always hated Jerry

lowkey how I feel wit a lot of movies ive seen recently , lot of stereotypical fasting talking Latinos with thick accents that the white lead makes fun of

I hate how they represent my people in mainstream media

Already the biggest boxoffice hit/success of the covid era and its only been out a week lmao clearly that ain't the case

the OG tom and jerry shorts are still f***ing amazing but also obviously a product of their time. i wont be watching this movie tho
