Nothing says guaranteed flop like “diverse” xfiles. Just like when they let Peele shit all over the twilight zone with “diversity” and it lasted two whole seasons!

You’d think they would realize people are sick of this. But they keep pumping them out. I’m so sick of this mentality that everything has to be in everything. When I was in the Air Force I watched Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon in the theater. I loved it. Movie had zero diversity (by today’s standards) and I loved it.

They don't care people are sick of this. They are psycho narcissists. They will make you watch what they want you to watch.

Oh yea. Well, one of my favorite shows ever is Leave it to Beaver. I’m somehow able to watch white people on tv without screeching about it.

I loved Leave it to Beaver. Eddie Haskell is a really deep character. I also enjoyed Father knows best as well. This was back before men became bumbling buffoons in media

Agreed. As a kid my parents and grandparents would watch those reruns and I didn’t think much of them but as an adult I appreciate them.

“We’re so steeped in conspiracies now. The X-Files dealt with a central conspiracy, but now the world is so full of conspiracies that I think it would be a different show,” he reflected about what the series might look like today.

Holy shit they are going to make it about 'modern day' conspiracy theorists.

That's going to go over great.

So it’ll just be propaganda. “These people think that global warming isn’t real, Shanequa.” “Stupid ass honkeys be thinking 99.999% of scientists is wrong!” “They probably don’t understand that the covid 19 vaccine is proven same and effective to prevent all infection with a deadly pandemic which former president Donald trump allowed to murder 40 million Americans, especially blacks!”

40 million

Not high enough, needs to be at least 400 million just for the absurdity of claiming more deaths than the existing population. Not that modern audiences are smart enough to notice, or that "noticing" is even allowed any more.

400 million

Didn't Biden himself claim that 300 million Americans had been killed by something? Might have been Covid or gun violence or global warming, but it was some ridiculous number.

I legitimately see people attributing died with covid deaths under Biden to Trump

He said "conspiracies" not "conspiracy theories", so you could read that in a very different way. Not that I'm gonna watch any X-file reboot (even the original became shit after season 7 or 8).

Gillian Anderson is 54 and I'm willing to bet she's still hotter than any female they'll hire for this reboot.

You know that trope of black film audiences and not shutting the fuck up? That's what would happen in suspense/horror stories like the X-Files in "diversified" and lead to every black agent giving away their position and getting killed.

Agreed. Or don’t do one at all. It should be easy enough to make an original show with a similar premise. X-Files had a similar premise of Kolchak.

Watch as Mulder's killed off for being "angry white man(R)"

Brilliant! The first episode is about Mulder and Scully being killed off. But before they are, they turn over the x-files to two up-and-coming FBI agents (both black, the female is LGBT and the man is married to a white woman) and say it's up to them, now. Mulder delivers some speech about how, even though these two new characters have suffered racism, homophobia, oppression, and slavery, it's up to them to be better than the horrid white people and help bring the truth to light.

I’ve been saying this. You will turn me off of a show so fast when you push that the lead is black, gay, female, etc.
