Jordan Peele connected Donald Glover and Liam Neeson ?

The video and the article are fire definitely worth watching and reading

is he constantly misquoted in print because he sounds like a pretentious b**** in the excerpt from minivan post and the YouTube video of him explaining S3 sounded fine

Damn

@AmoryBlain

He makes alot of good points here.

The leeway white creators get for “going left” is so much longer than the leeway black creators get.

And part of it is, we built up to judge niggas off the rip.

That season was f***ing amazing. And people are gonna realize that in time.

Season 3 was really great. People will start to see that eventually

It was good with some great episodes.

But like half the season was without my crew so Im just automatically not gonna like it as much as the other seasons.

Season 3 is great as a stand alone concept, but is a flop being sandwiched between seasons 2 and 4.

Me and Donald agree that greats can make bad things and still be praise for the other s*** they make (ie seasons 1-2,4).

I think tone is everything yeah

Tbf, nigga had us wait literally 4 years just to get a season of fever dreams

I honestly loved what he was going for/I wish he could appreciate the people that sees his vision for what is is as opposed to those who are unnecessarily critical, tho just the wait itself juxtaposed to what we came back too was jarring.

Oh yeah the world ending had nothing to do with it.

He also gave you two seasons in one year.

To be fair, seasons 3 and 4 were written in 2019 and they were ready to film as soon as covid started to spread.
They had no choice but to push it back

Name some white creators who got leeway for going left

There are three season 3 episodes that are in my top 10 Atlanta episodes

Rich Wigga Poor Wigga
Three Slaps
New Jazz

New jazz
Cancer attack
Old man and the tree

Most def top 10

Cancer Attack is such a fascinating episode.
Basically every scene and line of dialogue is a subversion of our expectations.
And it creates so many questions but doesn’t answer any of them

And the episode is filled with a ghostly and eerie aura that leaves you feeling really uneasy.

We also get some of Paper Boi’s most genuine moments

They really perfected the feeling of surrealism with that episode

Bruh… it’s the episode I watch the most, I think. Probably seen it 15 times. Even down to the opening shot and creepy ass music… it’s perfect tv to me. Hilarious and touching.

I think most of the people that don't like it won't ever come around. Especially when S1, 2 and 4 were so good and so many episodes don't have any of the main characters in them

I see people say similar things about Mr Morale and I really don't see it happening Like it's clear to see why the reception is mixed and I don't think time will change much

F*** Mr morale

Real (but I love S3) {but yes, if I had to discard one of the four seasons, it would probably be S3. I'm still super happy we got it tho}

ATLANTA should've been five seasons, with S3 as one weird detour in the middle
