It's a meta movie where he doesn't become Candyman until the very end when his girlfriend summons him to kill the racist white cops. Clive Barker probably had an orgasm when he read the script.

Leave it to Hollywood to turn even sequels into origin movies.

Aw shucks...

Specifically it's actually a homeless dude who got traumatized by Candyman doing all the killing. At the end he kidnaps the main nigga, cuts off his arm, dresses him up like Candyman then sends him out to get gunned down by da ebil white cops, and it's heavily implied that the Tony Todd Candyman is masterminding the whole thing.

You'd almost think there's an allegory for black on black crime in there but lmao, this is Hollywood so nah its all wypepo's fault.

It’s part of their culture according to Al Sharpton/Jesse Jackson, can’t remember which. I read an article where they say the original movie’s hood has been gentrified by millennials in a negative way. First, I love that turning a crime infested shithole into something livable is bad, and secondly they’re taking shots at the audience that’s going to bend over and spread their cheeks for them.

Gentrification is seen as evil because it's about pricing the poor, innocent natives out of the neighborhood.

Is there a good term for backwards gentrification? I used to live into a decent neighborhood that turned into a ghetto shithole over time. Oh wait muh racist white flight is bad. Yeah I wonder why people fucking want to get away from that shit?

More to the point, poor whites can also get priced out of a neighbourhood. But that's not "gentrification" because they're white.

They should just remember to check their privilege.
