Movies with black antagonists?

[RollSonnenRoll]

Jacobs in Rise of the Planet of the Apes

 

[ookii]

Does Jules Winnfield or Alonzo in Training Day count?Maybe Bats in Baby Driver

Yeah but not until the very latlst moment. Id say the guy that fights bruce willis is more of a bad guy and is totally white

Nope, the guy who killed 2 people in the movie is not a bigger villain than the guy who killed like a thousand people.

And you got it backwards: the guy who Bruce Willis fights is the one who only shows up for a brief period at the end. Sammy Jackson is in the whole movie. He is clearly the antagonist.

Denzel in training day

Since we're talking Denzel movies, Malcolm X is another one.

What about Mo'nique in every fucking film she's ever been in?

 

[ScriptReadsMe]

HE WAS A SWEETHEART!

Clubber is old and it was a combat sport situation. Not what i'd call genuine evil lol ... and movie is old

 

[Horse Style]

The reason there are more white than black antagonists is the same reason there are more white than black protagonists. This is a country with mostly white people

The more movies with white antagonists, the more chances for there to be great, memorable white protagonists which is why there are more great/memorable white than black antagonists.

Denzel in training day

I wouldn't count him. Bad boy? Yes. Evil guy? Ambiguous. He did some good stuff too. It's not like corruption breeds saints. He was probably like Hoyt's character until his idealism faded away.

A/B = A + 1/B + 1

Alonzo Harris is a villain. He'd turn on anyone.

There's only one bigger villain he's played: the Blacktorney.

Spoiler: cold as ice

They introduced him like the protagonist, then he ended up being thr main guy who opposed Ethan hawk's character.

I wouldnt call the eses, or other corrupt cops main antagonists compared to denzel

Rocky 1, 2, 3, and 5. Only Clubber was really a villain though. Dixon and Creed were just antagonists.

Edit: I mean Rocky 6, not 5.

Clubber was not a villain at all. He was the NUMBER 1 contender who won all his fights by KO and Rocky was ducking him and taking Set Ups. Clubber just wanted what he Earned.

Sam Jackson in King Kong Skull Island last yr.

 

[Bob Gray]

Bad guy or competition? Some people cared more about Killmonger than the main guy lol. Definitely not a villain in the same sense as hannibal lecter for example

Clubber is old and it was a combat sport situation. Not what i'd call genuine evil lol ... and movie is old

What the hell is all this stupid criteria you're trying to use to dismiss answers to the question? "Some people" cared? Not being "like Hannibal Lecter" doesn't mean they arent the antagonist.

An antagonist does not have to be "evil". Nor does the age of the movie matter at all.

Villains and antagonists aren't necessarily the same thing. The antagonist is just the foil to the protagonist that creates the obstacles they attempt to overcome.

than it should be Mick cause he died and Rock had to overcome it and not Clubber.
