I recently watched Rockey 1-3 and genuinely had forgotten that there were so damn many more movies after that. Also forgot that he was always fighting a black opponent, since it literally didn't matter and there was never a race issue.
>white boxers dont win heavyweight championships
Rocky's character was inspired by Rocky Marciano which was a heavyweight Champion that retired undefeated.
we're talking about the 70s. a big part of why rocky is a great under dog is because he is white
>big part of why rocky is a great under dog is because he is white
No hes a underdog because he had no talent. He tied Apollo Creed because he had heart and never quit.

The second one had CGI fights. It's complete garbage and neither were huge box office hits. If they actually go ahead with no Rocky in the third film it might just flat out bomb
>he is hard to root for sometimes.
I don't care what happens to him at all. If he losses then so what? He falls back on his wife's singing career or all the money from his father estate. He didn't start boxing out of necessity like Rocky, Clubber or Apollo. He just did it to prove a point about "muh legacy" and that's not compelling to me

Rocky isn't gonna make it through this next one is he
shitty rap music doesn't make for good training montage music
Adonis needs an opposite who is warm hearted, good, etc. Basically a modern take on Rocky. Without that Adonis's wins don't hit as great.
Though Adonis's greatest enemy is himself. But he's had two movies to conquer that so maybe the third will give him a good rival.
Creed II should have been Drago I.
The story of Drago's son was way more interesting than seeing Creed again with his deaf girlfriend.
True
*insurmountable
>IT NEEDS TO BE 1:1 JUST LIKE THE ORIGINAL TO BE GOOD
I bet you cried during Ghostbusters Afterlife.
>rocky movies - no white heavyweight champs
>creed movies - no black heavyweight champs
drago is white
>inb4 slav
he is whiter than the italian stallion
in real life
they suck because they're shit superfluous
Nah Creed 1 is fricking great, moron.
>no 80s music
lol
wrong. the 1st is better than the 2nd though.

You mean apart from Drago and Tommy gun?
white boxers dont win heavyweight championships. they didnt need to say it out loud
Unless they’re English gypsies
There has been more white heavyweight champs than black ones in the last 20 years. Happened around the time they started testing for roids in 2002.
Black dudes on roids are super saiyans.

dempsey marciano morrison klitschkos usyk fury?
He doesn't actually watch any boxing. His knowledge begins and ends at Mike Tyson. You think he knows that klitschko has the most title defenses?

Why the frick would Rocky train another apprentice after the last one
Because he is his dead friend son
>CREED
KINO
First Creed is fine. Nonboxing story is at least as good as 6's. Second one is dogshit from every angle.
The second one had CGI fights. It's complete garbage and neither were huge box office hits. If they actually go ahead with no Rocky in the third film it might just flat out bomb
just stop with Creed lets have Clubber Langs son or some shit Michael is not charismatic enough to lead a series
It's more Adonis is kinda an butthole, he is hard to root for sometimes.

Considering he's actively campaigning against another movie, calling the rights holders literal vampires, he's probably already dead off screen.
