That looks fucking terrible. The entire premise is incredibly racist and toxic.

How?

It honestly looks like an interesting setup that devolves into formulaic blah blah blah. Which explains why it's being dropped in March.

You're asking how it's racist?

The negros whose purpose is to keep white people happy so bad things don't happen?

Reverse the races. Does this movie get made?

Here's your synopsis of the movie with the races reversed:
Black people are the most dangerous creature on the planet when they're uncomfortable. Only white people are able to save the world from violence by keeping black people comfortable. Tom Hanks holds a pocket watch that measures "Black Tears". A black woman falls in love with the white man instead of the black man, but they cannot be together or the fabric of society could be harmed.

Would black people be cool with that movie or would they call it racist?

Translation: Ok yes, black people would be livid calling it racist, but I don't want to admit I'm wrong. :D

Cuz I'm not wrong. The magical negro was a trope for so damned long. Now black people are taking it back.

I don't give a fuck about any tropes. Racism IS fucking racism.

It doesn't go away when you continue to do it.

"The white person is the most dangerous thing on earth."

"Hey Alexa, give me crime stats for like any country."

When you call a race dangerous and then use the phrase "white tears" you're being racist.

There's nothing magical about those things.

One of the comments on the YouTube trailer site was, "it's amusing that it took this movie to finally bring everyone together in mutual loathing."
