  1. I certainly want to believe that your explanation is the correct one . At first I thought all three died in the fema heist . Then I thought , maybe not . Firstly because Blink knew that he had way too much to lose by risking another robbery gig and he was way too smart to not realize how fortunate he and his boys were to get out of the mess that they were in and how many strings were pulled to make that mess go away . Secondly because Blink was at a book signing after the heist and that could only have happed if the FEMA heist didn’t happen . Then , I get thrown off and wonder why Demyra is taking Ike to see his grandfather without Blink accompanying them . It seems out of order for Demyra to take Ike without Blink , even if Blink had an argument with his father . So , which was the art ? The heist ? or the book signing?

Wait a minute , I just watched passed the credits and it shows the councilman killing Detective Courtney on Andre’s grave and handing money and control of the 9th ward over to Miracle . It’s obvious after watching that scene , that we know that the heist was just a story that was part of Blinks graphic novel and did not actually happen . Therefore Blink , Miracle and Junior are all still alive . I hope I’m not spoiling that for anybody . If you didn’t watch past the credits , go back and check it out .

    • Thank you I take pictures seriously cuz I love the characters I’m always for the underdog so I’m glad I kept searching cuz it puzzled me and I’m glad that I searched and found out to watch it past the credits cuz I didn’t want none of them guys to die and I’m glad they had a second chance

  3. Thanks for the explanation, it was confusing.
    My thing is why not show white boy doing something better, like getting more dogs. Anyway I enjoyed the movie and the messages. Looking forward to more of his works.

    • Yeah, I had a lot of things in the movie that I wish had been a little improved lol. But, like you, I enjoyed what it was going for and looking forward to the next thing.
