I genuinely have no idea why people aren't talking more honestly about how Soul fails its Black characters and audiences by crafting its story for white people
The number of people calling Soul one of the best movies of the year (!) and one of Pixar's strongest (!!!) are telling on themselves in a very simple way. The movie is pretty and has some fun ideas, but as the studio's attempt at telling a Black story, it's laughably tone deaf
Y'all were *just* up in arms over Tina Fey's bad track record handling race in projects, but somehow folks have little to say about *this* of all plots? Idgi thedailybeast.com/tina-feys-prob…
This coupled with the way some Black folks have been shouted down for voicing distaste for the movie is, to my mind, a pretty glaring issue that’s much bigger than Rotten Tomatoes

Comixology’s got most of the Black Panther comics available for free now, which is cool because it isn’t often that people have the chance or means to go through a publisher’s entire catalog of comics focused on a single character this way, especially a Black character
Binge reading comics isn’t everyone’s jam, but with Black Panther, it’s *very* interesting to watch the characters evolve and morph over time as the creative teams behind the books shifted and eventually included Black voices who understandably felt the need to redefine T'Challa
You go back and see stuff like M’Baku literally dressed up like a gorilla (though this was in The Avengers) and think to yourself “ah, yes. Comics of the 60s were a goddamned racist mess.” It’s not fun, but it’s important context to understand the Black Panther brand's evolution
