With Ryan Coogler at the helm it’s kinda hard to know what to expect. He doesn’t really have a story telling style or a directorial style. Some of the stuff that he’s done kinda works itself. So my hope is that he’s low key a xfiles head and had being dying at the chance to reboot one of his favorite shows of all time. My fear is that the studio wanted to appeal to a new generation with a diverse cast and they got stuck on the word diverse and ask themselves whom would be the directors they could champion for this diverse reboot.
They wanted peele but he either ask for too much or was too busy, and Ryan was their second choice. There’s a fear when someone has that “diversity” chip on their shoulder and feeling like they have something to prove. Like with the Indian chick and the show “Thelma”. Buried the whole thing trying to be too gen z and diverse.
