Once Again A "Karen" Is Making Black Twitter Mad
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
There is no one quite like Jordan Peele, but that's not from lack of trying.
The latest trailer for the film Karen dropped, and so did the opinions of everyone on Twitter.
According to IMDB, Karen is a movie about "A racist, entitled white woman in the South [who] terrorizes her new Black neighbors."

Taryn Manning will star in the titular role, with appearances from Cory Hardrict, Jasmine Burke, and Gregory Alan Williams, to name a few.
Jordan doesn't have any direct connection to the film, but many people are calling it a Get Out knockoff, and that's just on the tame end of the spectrum...

It seems everyone has their Jordan Peele wig on lately😭What he was able to do with Get Out was interesting for the time being but we really don’t need “Black folks being terrorized by racist whites” to become a horror sub genre…. https://t.co/6ujqCPxqBx
Jordan Peele only has two films under his belt as a director and he already has people trying to copy his formula. Talk about impact.
all of these Jordan Peele recreation attempts assume the core of Get Out was "haha white people scary" and try to recycle that over and over. They miss the nuanced message about liberal performative activism, about the obsession with black culture. 1/2 https://t.co/x7IrRZ9c1I
Get Out was a satirical horror movie that gained critical acclaim and started conversations about race and power dynamics.
Universal Pictures
The film won Jordan the 2018 Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay, and although studios keep trying, no one's come close to doing what Jordan did with that film.
When will Hollywood learn to that you can't steal genius.
