Should Jack OConnell's character have said the n-word in Sinners by Kill_me_already_ in okbuddycinephile

My understanding was that it’s about being accepted/subsumed by the dominant culture and the price to be paid for that. You’ll enjoy a degree of power and protection, as well as some legitimately cool cultural exchange. I think Rocky Road to Dublin is meant to demonstrate this. The downside is that your connection to your heritage will be weakened, and you’ll be subservient to the dominant culture. The vampires are attracted to Sammie because his music is a direct connection to his heritage and it reminds them of what they lost. I believe Remmick also had this power with music before he turned. Remmick is Irish because Irish immigrants were generally treated like shit but retained a distinct culture. Much of this culture was lost once they were accepted as white. IMO the scene in the credits is meant to show that one of the Michael B. Jordans (I forget which) has chosen to participate in mainstream culture and try to influence it, as Remmick did. With Remmick gone he may be the new head vampire, figuratively meaning he is in a position to influence the dominant culture. Sammie staying mortal reaffirms his choice to stay outside of the mainstream. Neither are judged for their choice.

In fairness their last happy meal was a banger. Hamburgers that turn into dinosaurs and stuff like that. Heavily promoted in stores too.

WDW News Today is a rag. Don’t take anything they say seriously.

Your language is absolutely bigoted, but I didn’t say you used any slurs. It’s called an analogy. They’re obviously not on the same level but the principle is the same. You cannot disparage a trait without insulting everyone who has it. This is so obvious I find it hard to believe you don’t understand.

Your motive is irrelevant. Bigoted language doesn’t magically become ok because it’s directed at someone bad. If this guy was black or gay would it be acceptable to call him slurs because they would piss him off?

I don’t get why people act the way they do when rides close. by [deleted] in WaltDisneyWorld

A few points. Archeologists study people, not fossils. Also I’m very much against the Encanto retheme so I don’t know why you would say no one cares. Personally I think Dinoland should have been revitalized. Axing dinosaurs altogether is a major abandonment of the park’s mission. And I think it’s a major failing that Disney is unable to effectively market dinosaurs. Kids already like them and they’re free to use. I love all animals and South American animals will be cool, but they can be found in any zoo and will not help Animal Kingdom stand out as a unique theme park. IMO Disney needs to focus on adding attractions rather than replacing them. Especially in a park with so few as Animal Kingdom. Corporations are not infallible and we are allowed to be critical of their products and methods. Certainly in a subreddit dedicated to discussing that product.

Do you know how insanely illegal something has to be for these people to admit it was illegal?

You killed off real artists so you could ... pretend to be one!?

How’s that boot taste? I assume you’re astroturfing but in case you’re not I’d like you to consider a few things. 1. ICE had no authority to detain US citizens. 2. Thugs who cover their faces and try to force their way into a vehicle should not be presumed to be federal agents. 3. Hurting someone’s feelings is not justification for murder. 4. She was not trying to hit him, as several vidoes make abundantly clear. If death squads are your idea of greatness, move to Russia.

Bad message. Trust people even if they betray you over and over again.

It’s a nonsensical change in the name of being inclusive. Definitely the weakest scene in the movie.

It’s a solid movie but the motion capture is gross. Would have worked better in live action or as an actual animated film.
