The Magical African American Friend. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magical_Negro I think it’s pretty clear the writers were aware of the trope and avoided it. They skated the line.[/quote] I don't think this. The trope features people with "the sight," or some other superpower. Jolene was a street-smart girl who was trying to make something of herself. I thought the actress who played her was terrific.[/quote] Oh I love to Jolene I thought she was one of the best parts of the movie. But she really did arrive at exactly the right moment. That’s more of the magical black friend. Her character was not falling into that trope as much as the timing of her reemergence. I wish they had picked up her story earlier and stitched in better.
