Why do different races feel so forced in movies today when it

>>83265432
Because both Danny Glover and Mel Gibson were cool as shit even before Lethal Weapon; most of the time now they shoehorn in some random minority figure (oftentimes played by someone with no charisma whatsoever) just so they can say that they are 'diverse', when instead they're just lowering the quality of their production by pandering

>>83265432
Because it doesn't?

>>83265432
Because they're now stereotypes instead of actual human beings.

Example - Rush Hour

Black Cop:
>Crackalacking
>Sex Machine
>Wise-ass

Asian Cop:
>Quiet
>Modest
>Kung-Fu
>Able to crackalack but in a wise, modest way

The reason that OP pic related worked was because one was a family man working to make a living and the other was a badass who pushed away companionship even though it was what he needed all along.

Also they were both competent at their jobs.

>>83265432

Because they are like "okay black guy you act REALLY stereotypically black and white guy you act REALLY stereotypically white. This makes them overly mismatched and feels unnatural cause you know 2 people this different would never hang out together.

In LW there is a black and white guy but them being friends is a possibility cause neither acts like an idiot or feels the need to bring up race every 10 seconds.

>>83265432
Because it actually used to be natural.

They would cast a black guy because they thought a jive black guy would service the movie and it felt right to have him there.

Or they'd have a white teacher because a white teacher felt right for the circumstances and it might be a little weird to have a polynesian.

Nowadays they cast people of a certain race for the explicit purpose of the having characters of a different race in hopes of appeasing the endless droves of Buzzfeed articles trying to bully them into having their opinion with ambiguous platitudes.

I say this with zero pretension regarding "how society used to be so much better", the 1980s were also abhorrently anal about political correctness. But if they casted a black guy it really was because they thought having a black guy there would make the movie better.

>>83265432
Because Danny Glover played a (black) man who is too old for this shit, not some "muthafukkaazzoncracka" nigger put literally for "muh diversity".

>>83265432

>>83265432
because we were well on our way to not giving a shit about race and people cared about qualities of an individual more than the collective

now the liberals have fucking destroyed that with identity politics and set everything worse off by 200 years with a far worse road to travel to where things left off

leftists get their power from having people be at war with each other

>>83265432
It used to feel less forced because there used to be more black people. Thanks to affirmative action many blacks were able to join the middle and upper classes, so many subsequently became white.

>>83265432
Because it is forced and if there isn't enough "diversity" it gets ripped apart by cuck reviewers and negroes/SJWs on social media.

Back then, a black character was just a character.
Now, he is a forced part of the movie that you are constantly told needs to be there to not be racist. So they don't cast black actors because they are good for the roles, they put them in where they don't belong to seem not-racist.

>>83265432

>>83267447
But they're both adaptations featuring characters who are white cast as black. In fact if anything it would be more acceptable to have changes to the Arthur myths, because they're all inconsistent and have been bastardized for years. Lancelot originally wasn't a thing, Percival was the original knight who found the grail, not Galahad, and there are multiple explanations for the origin of Excalibur. Arthurian lore was never consistent

They weren't marketed as a groundbreaking moments for equality in order to sell tickets, they were just movies with black people and white people in them. Alien wasn't marketed like the new Ghostbusters was, because people were slightly less retarded.

I didn't say it made a big deal.

I said it was part of the joke, them being opposites who are forced together and despite their differences they manage to save the day. They could be changed, but if they were both white, both black, both asian it would not have the same comedic punch.

The narrative. Everything has to be "diverse" now or the guys who made it catch hell. This results in forced non-white casting that doesn't work.
They can get great reviews and success and praise just by using black actors, so why wouldn't they?

>>83265523
One of my favorite movies of all time. Fucking love it.

>>83265432
it's funny that every stupid commercial has a dumb white dude and out of nowhere some smart savvy black dude comes in to shake his head at the stupid white boy and give him advice .

I really feel sorry for black people, they will be wiped out by arabs or turned into slaves again long after white people are all dead a couple hundred years from now, the islamists will rule the planet and turn it into garbage and blacks will be back in chains.

>>83267671
No, I don't see why, because it's fucking fiction. As in, not real. Black knights (as in, skin color) have existed in fiction before. Sir Morien is one example in Arthurian lore. In Orlando Furioso, Ruggiero was a half Christian half Saracen knight who falls in love with a female knight, Bradamante. There were even fictional female knights, like in The Faerie Queene, an epic English poem where the famous "knight saves a princess from a dragon" story originated from. That poem had a female knight named Britomart who beat nearly all of the other male knights and visits Merlin. If those were released now people would be whining about the SJWs because of some shitty YouTube video or tweet they saw

>>83268175
but Lancelot was never black, if they wanted a black knight in there so bad why didn't they use the examples you gave?

>>83268266
Lancelot was never a thing in Arthurian lore. He was a fanfic character thrown in by the French. If they really wanted to be authentic why even bother having him at all?

>>83267471
You have to go back.

>>83268347
maybe because within the 900 years since he was introduced he became an identifiable part of the lore and people would wonder why a character who they've known to be part of the story wasn't included? There's a difference between adding a character while the stories were still fresh and making a drastic change to an established character's image in order to fit a modern day agenda.

But "drastic changes to a character's image" have happened before too. In the Faerie Queene I mentioned earlier, Arthur is there, only this time he's in love with the Faerie Queen and madly pursues her. If you want to go more recent, "The Once and Future King" is a well-known series of fantasy books that made Lancelot hideous instead of beautiful and Galahad is hated by the other knights. Nobody cared about these changes either, because it's fucking fiction and there is no "canon" to Arthurian legend, and even if there was, no one cared that someone somewhere was doing a different adaptation. The origin of Excalibur, Arthur's iconic sword, is still unknown to this day.

>Alien wasn't marketed like the new Ghostbusters was, because people were slightly less retarded.
Ghostbusters wasn't marketed as a pro-feminist pro-women movie, bloggers and article writers made a big deal out of it.

There's the chemistry between the actors of course and the fact that the casting director has to fill a quota set up by the production company, but people are missing the main reason why black and white characters seem so unnatural and stilted together:

Naturally, people feel awkward around those of other races. We are a tribal species. Taking that awkwardness and that separateness and ignoring it makes for a piece of cinema that is very bland. We feel we are being manipulated by an idiot when whiteness and blackness are not explored, or worse, are explored in mean-spirited, PC ways. In the 1980s and prior, even well into the 90s, interracial friendships portrayed on-screen had characters poke fun at one another's differences (as most men are to do). This created a sort of dynamicism that is rarely seen today—two people from different walks of life were allowed to exchange in a manor that might hurt someone's feelings. The result of which was that they had in-turn created real-life people, capable of provoking actual emotion and engagement with the film.

By allowing the actors, and by extension the audience, perceive race, the filmmaker(s) created something far greater and more believable than something the relationship between Kevin James' main character's relationship with his black best friend. By embracing stereotypes, they utilised age-old character archetypes that enriched their films.

no, that movie only started this meme, about him being the wise-nigger-archetype

I guess it's a little bit of both sides. Hollywood going all in on diversity and shoehorning minorities in every possible movie even if it's set in medieval Europe combined with outcry of both whites and blacks whenever it happens or it doesn't happen.

>>83268175
As for cucks like this guy there is absolutely no hope. I'm an Eastern European myself and strong national identity was needed in order to survive the red menace so I've noticed quite some time ago that talking about things like patriotism, national pride, culture or tradition to a millennial Canadian or German is like explaining quantum physics to a goldfish. They simply don't understand those feelings so they discard them as illogical or primitive.

>>83265432
It works better with middle-aged jaded male characters than with chipper little twinks. They're making movies for a different (younger, gayer, more braindead) audience than 30 years ago. Wait till you see what kind of movies will come out in the 2040s

>>83273412
as i remember no. that wasn't forced yet back then. (eventhough Rick was hugged/kissed by Murdough's daughter )

Less stereotyping and better writing. Glover's role was an old cop. He happened to be black. The movie would have worked just as well if he was white.
Nowadays, his role would be a black guy who happens to be a cop.

>>83267647
shut the fuck off, he's a good actor.

>>83273629
yeah, it was the first one. There's a line early in the movie where Murtaugh describes the boy she's talking about as having "pits" in his face but they're just dimples, then later they get the call about a dead body close to Murtaugh's house and he describes the boyfriend for whatever reason, as "blond with big dimples in his face".
