I just realized, the movie hancock with will smith is nothing but a lame knock off of Garth Ennis' one-shot the Pro, but with a bum instead of a prostitute and less criticism of comic book morality. That's really quite pathetic.

a film that is literally about a black man who is rejected by society because he is in a relationship with a white woman, but it's not about race, oh no

That doesn't happen in the movie. If you wanted to make the relation between him being black and damaging property/being reckless/being an alcoholic that's one thing, but nobody outside the three mains really knows about (and thus, can't care about) the relationship between Hancock and his previous partner.
And anyway if we wanted to see racial tension we could just go downtown (or make fun of sonoran lol)

Also Hancock used to be something called "Tonight, He Comes", which was full of Egyptian mythological hints, was an R-rated melodrama about the same hancock helping/ruining a loser family, and was even worse than the Hancock movie we did get
Many of those hints did make it into Hancock, so it's even less of a case for making it a primarily race-based affair.

And anyway if we wanted to see racial tension we could just go downtown (or make fun of sonoran lol) his homelessness and distrust for others in the beginning of the film is a direct result of being affected by racism in the past. except that we can analyse the movie that actually exists, not on what it isn't(that stuff was probably removed for a reason) you're really not into this whole 'thinking about art' thing, are you |

You could say that, but he's actually a separate 'superhero' species so I think his powers would take precedence over his race any day. His situation was also directly related to something powers-related that his wife bought up.
I was just adding the old script as a fun fact for others
I think it's more that people here have seen too much of what happens when race is bought up any time there's a remote chance it being relevant, thus ruining any chance of regular discourse and turning it automatically into tumblr social justice poop.

dudes with superpowers aren't real. the main point is that he's a black guy who was discriminated against(attacked by a mob iirc) for being with a white lady. i dunno how you could think the movie isn't abour race when it drives the entire plot. i'm not being a tumblr thing, i'm pointing out overt themes in the movie(it was really just an offhand informative comment, i don't even like hancock all that much)
