Diddy says growing up there were no black super heroes. So he's thankful for "Hancock," even if the character Will Smith plays is a super heroic drunk, womanizer and all-out unreliable role model, uhh... Did's says it's "200-motherfucking 8 and shit is changing," and about time we had some African American super heroes, even though there was Power Man, Black Falcon, the Black Panther and many more (but yes, obviously they weren't as prevalent, we'll definitely give him that).
"As a black kid you're like, 'well, why ain' there no super heros that look like me?' Why aint' there a black super hero?' They got Wonder Woman, Underdog...[pauses, thinks about the absurdity of this for a minute and then catches up] They even have a dog super hero, they got no black super hero! (aside). That's my white boy answering the phone."
Then Dids goes off on an expletive tirade about Hancock and well-known DC and Marvel heroes, calls Batman's ward Robin a "bitch-ass" for no apparent reason (hey, he was a kid!) and then goes off the rails screaming, "Hancock, bitches, Hancock!" Duly noted. Diddy mind you, is one of the few "critics" in North America that actually enjoyed the film.
"Hancock" is getting terrible reviews (34% at Rotten Tomatoes), but that's not going to stop it at the box office this weekend, as it's projected to be a juggernaut, in seemingly direct defiance to the unanimity of critics that say you'd be better off driving your family off a cliff this July 4 weekend rather then spend it with this piece of trash film.
