Seriously? The black dude dies first?


I thought Hollywood had moved past this trope.

To make it worse, the guy had just won an Oscar when the film got released!

Its that man again!!

Seriously? Are they all supposed to live till the end of films just because they're black? How many movies have come out now with black stars that killed the "trope". Apparently none in your limited movie selection. Get over it. Film makers don't kill off the black guy because they are bigots any longer. That character is probably just written to die at that time. Why would the movie be ANY different if they died second, third, fourth, or never? Perhaps they should have let him live and called it "Black Stealth"?

Its still fun to watch a Universal films release, will the black guy die in the first 15 minutes?

Its that man again!!

I hate when people say "It came out X years ago!", expecting you to see every movie every made. Does that mean someone has to have seen every movie made prior to 2005?

"Some men are coming to kill us. We're gonna kill them first."

So the black guy isn't allowed to die first in any movie, but it's the director of "Stealth" that has race issues? LOL maybe you need to look in the mirror.

Finally, white folks are making strides.

I think you are all missing this one. Everyone knows Jamie Foxx is the best actor in this movie. I think it's more like when Henry Connick in Indepence Day died early. He was the entertains one too. It creates the vengeful motivation to go forward.

Spot on!

It does kind of make you shake your head.

The "Evil Computer" should have asked his race first?

Honestly, I was thinking "seriously...the black guy is a pilot?" LOL. You blacks whine even when the black guy survives the whole film. Go back to your black panther pamphlets. Race-baiting twit.




These pc-obsessed times are getting old.
