So they remade Jacob's Ladder only they race swapped it so the character can't be as compelling and instead has to be a series of checked boxes that best personifies how the left views people of color...

... man don't you miss the times where Black people could play unique and diverse characters? I do. I want to see people like Denzel Washington in roles like Training Day again...

... anyway, the check boxes made the lead fall flat and made you not care so much about him in the story. And then it wasn't as trippy as the first one, it didn't have the same LSD trip feel to it.

It's just a copy that isn't exactly as good, printed in reverse so the people on Twitter who won't actually watch it will praise it.
