#6 (cont.)

Stack mentioned his father usually beat instead of Smoke but that he “didn’t mean it” — meaning he likely carried a level of guilt and loss around his mother dying while giving birth to him.

#6 Stack’s father likely abused him out of resentment

Mary tells the story of how Stacks mother died during pregnancy giving birth to him.

#5 Pullman porter / Oakland connection

Oakland was a significant base of operations and beyond being a massive opportunity for upward mobility — the Oakland Pullman porters are the first to unionize.

#4 VULTURES
They’re present and foreshadow throughout the film, subtle but they’re there. They’re closest to Stack, one even trails the Klansman sheriff. They could be over the mill juke because it was a slaughterhouse or they could be foreshadowing

#3 Jed still holds memories of his brother close

Preacherboy’s guitar is actually Jed’s brother/ S&S’s father’s who had a reputation of being “evil”. Jed likely knew it was his brothers and it’s strategically placed it against the table stating ‘In Remembrance of Me’

#2: Preacherboy’s guitar juxtaposed against the cross

In the opening scene with his father we see Preacherboy’s hold on the guitar inch towards the cross in the background but never actually makes contact with it…which potentially foreshadows his struggle to balance “the church” vs his own “light”

The first shot we see of evil with red eyes, then we see in the sky the sun with an optical reflection that also looks like two eyes— but not red almost in the same exact framed position. This transitions to Preacherboy heading to church after battling the “devil”. 🤔

And for Sammie after defeating Remick it was the man dressed in white with a white horse waiting outside the church…as a signifier that Sammie earned the blessing to let a light shine that is a gift of healing to his people.

And as after any successful biblical battle, the victors are usually engaging with a spirit that is cloaked in white with their ultimate reward. For Smoke it was Annie cand their baby cloaked in white. She calls him by his birth name, which is biblical as a call to shed his human form of “Smoke”

Which perfectly leads up to the moment we see Mary running down the road in the post credit scene. She’s definitely running with Stack or plans to reunite with him whether we see him in that moment or not.
May 7, 2025 at 4:10 PM
Meaning Stack likely *helped move* Smoke into position by speed or flying so he could stealthily get behind Remick at the right moment. Just like when Stack passed Smoke the knife to stab the snake, he carried Smoke to the pond, stake in hand at the ready to kill Remick.

What Stack also accomplishes intended or not, is avoiding committing the same sin as Cain, by killing his brother. He spares his brother and is leaving judgment to God.
May 7, 2025 at 4:10 PM
Annie’s mojo bag might’ve been doing extra work to disrupt Remick realizing this pact or Remick may have been so fixated and overwhelmed with Sammy and the pain of getting his skull sliced he didn’t realize what was going on.
May 7, 2025 at 4:10 PM
I think that Smoke convinced Stack that if he let him live, he not only has to protect Sammy — he has to help Smoke Kill Remick. What good is promising to protect Sammy, if in that moment Remick is about to turn him? And what good is being a vampire if another white man rules Stack *and* Mary
May 7, 2025 at 4:10 PM
After Sammie smashes the guitar on Remick’s head, Remick swings him facing the opposite direction (Sammie’s back is to the other vampires and the barn) meaning he can’t see what’s going on behind him nor can we

#sinners #sinnerssky #blacksky theory #4,040 so imma make it deep

Smoke stabbing the Snake in the beginning was BIG foreshadowing.

Not just that the Snake symbolized Remick (i.e. fangs) But that Smoke would be *the one who killed* the vampires. But there’s more. Ok come close here me out…
May 7, 2025 at 4:10 PM
Also… what is up to the Black man, dressed in white with the white horse in the background. Typically he’d be in the church with everyone else. Doesn’t seem likely he’d be sitting outside alone. #sinners #sinnerssky #blacksky

I want to believe it suggests regardless of belief system if you live an honest life you go. But after Sammy’s exchange of scripture with Remmick and the implications that could have it’s not a given both lead to heaven.

We gotta talk about Annie wearing white in the afterlife as a Black Madonna figure as a HooDoo practitioner and the fact the Black parishioners also wore white. #sinners #sinnerssky #blacksky

I know racism is real, cause how come we never got a ‘Living Single’ x ‘New York Undercover’ crossover episode? #blacksky

Only thing my we need to decide is between Michaela Cole, Dewanda Wise, Jodie Turner, and Jade Eshete. Thems the only ones…except for maybe an honorary multiverse storm that is Angela Basset. #marvel #storm #mcu #xmen #blacksky
