While I understand your point about the racist aspect, undoubtedly there will be an element of that among some,

But the original was a big hit, very popular movie worldwide in its day And it's getting remade as a straight to stream... The remake and straight to stream have a high stinker ratio.unfortunately..

Respect to Donald but there's also the aspect of the OG , you had prime Brad and Angelina, two of biggest and considered most attractive Hollywood leads. Donald and Maya (& Phoebe Waller bridge before her) are a bit of a departure from that selling point.

I think it can be great but I can get why if you're a fan of the OG you are like why the hell is this being remade and cashing in on the name of the original. But that's TV/film and Hollywood I know. I suspect it will be very different and if t's good it will attract it's own audience so I wouldn't worry too much about it

"It's definitely going to be different for a lot of people, which I think is good," Glover tells EW of his eight-episode Prime Video series. "You can always go back and watch the old one, but this one gives you a different feeling. People are definitely going to be shocked. I just know how much people love the other one, so if everybody's like, 'Eh,' we didn't do a good job. I hope some people are like, 'This is better than the original,' and some people are like, 'This is far worse.'"

Co-created by Glover and Francesca Sloane (Atlanta, Fargo), Mr. & Mrs. Smith stars Glover and Maya Erskine (Pen15) as the titular spy couple. But this isn't a remake of Pitt and Jolie's Mr. & Mrs. Smith — while the movie centered on a married couple realizing they’re both spies working for rival agencies who have been hired to kill each other, this is a completely different story about two lonely strangers who sign up for a mysterious spy agency, unaware their new identities are a package deal as a married couple. As they complete high-risk missions together, their arranged marriage slowly becomes something more real. But can they ever really trust each other if their entire relationship is built on lies?

"I had never seen the movie, which I know was sacrilege," Glover admits. But when a producer friend of his acquired the rights to the film, he finally gave it a shot. "I watched it and honestly, I was like, 'I don't understand it.' I mean, I get why it's iconic because of the people starring in it — it's just two gorgeous people in this situation. But the story I didn't quite understand. I called my brother and he was like, 'This is just a great date movie. It's boys vs. girls. What else do you want?'"

Glover wished it explored something deeper, which is why he began thinking about doing a TV reimagining that would tackle modern ideas of marriage and relationships. "Why do people even get married anymore? Half of it ends in divorce — what's the purpose?" Glover says. "Let's make a show dealing with relationships, but from this point of view, centering more on really what a marriage is and trust and teamwork and loneliness and all that stuff. I just wanted it to be something that spoke to people right now because in a time of abundance, why do we feel lonely? The movie wasn't about that."

I was defending Donald during that "Donald Glover interviews himself" s*** but nah, that's just some corny and pretentious s*** to say. "I wish the movie tackled loneliness"

Where did I say they were ugly

They arent two huge Hollywood stars famed for their good looks tho

Are you really tryna debate that point Donald is very talented but he's most certainly not considered a heart throb who'd be in best looking lists by the gen public..
