Walk with me here.

In the movie we see him offer Joan and Bert three gold coins.

A solid gold coin's worth is determined by the current price of gold, the coin's weight (or the amount of gold it contains), and any premium added by the seller. A one-ounce gold coin, for example, could have a value in the range of $3,300 to $3,500 in today's market right?

Now, based off the scene with Mary outside the Juke, from the look and description, it's clearly Roman gold. A roman gold coin is typically never a full ounce, at most it's 8 grams.

So if you do the math, each coin would be valued around $2600-$2800, meaning he was carrying around $7800-$8400 worth of gold at the time. Adjust for the cost of inflation considering gold would be worth way more in the 30's, and Remmick is actually carrying roughly $147k-$183k on him!!

I always need to do this kind of messy sketches to familiarize myself with new characters (the word dump is especially important!)

Complete strangers not writing fanfics about your favorite characters is not a civil rights issue. (And if they were writing more Michael B. Jordan fanfics, you'd just complain about how they didn't know how to accurately write a 1930s Black man.)

Complete strangers who have always liked Yanderes, red/black flag romance, and Gothic horror romance aren't going to stop liking that just because you prefer the heroes. Let alone your argument that they should like the heroes more because "they are Black."

Remmick isn't "a racist white man." He's a fuck-mothering vampire. He is an eating-people-alive vampire. I am literally watching you not mention at all in your post that he's a 1,500-year-old vampire who wants Sammie's supernatural spoken word powers and focusing on him being a white man, full stop. This film is not a Great Depression documentary, it is a fantasy story and if we have been sexualizing vampires for 200 years and counting, we aren't going to suddenly stop when its a Black vampire story.

Tumblr is 50% porn and you are literally saying you thought you were going to get online and people would ONLY be discussing "deep socio-political issues" and instead, a lot of people are discussing reader smut and shipping. And you're mad about it. How old are you? How long have you been on the Internet? You just watched a movie where EVERY SINGLE female lead got her pussy ate and you're mad the online discussion has a substantial amount of sex? What cognitive dissonance rationalization do you use to justify that? Ryan Coogler is a cinematic genius even if he includes instructions on how to eat pussy in Chinese in a Southern Gothic horror film, but the audience itself must be more somber?

If you don't want people shipping Sammie and Remmick, here's what you need to do. Get a time machine, travel back about 4 years, and tell Ryan Coogler not to make a movie about two soldiers protecting their sweet virgin cousin from an ancient vampire who wants to "make beautiful music with him." Because that's the premise of at least 5 Korean manhua and "Beauty and the Beast" without the comedic relief.

So how about you learn how to draw and you learn how to write and you make the Smoke and Stack fandom art you want to see instead of trying to shame people you neither know nor care about into doing it for you just so that you feel validated and seen.
