She merely wishes to clarify that they are not aliens.

Although I seem to recall some were. But they probably werent illegal aliens.

Shouldn't it be people?

The only time I've ever heard anybody called human is when an alien or talking animal says it in a movie or TV show. I guess maybe that's where she's going with on this. It's still an awful suggestion.

It's dumb not because the suggestions sounds dumb. It's dumb because the title is in reference to an actual term.

hmm maybe it was just a joke that was taken out of context

I pitched Humans in Black, which would be HiB, which sounds like something you dont want to get,

If a character had said it in a movie, like one of the coffee-drinking worms, it might've been a funny commentary on political correctness and whether or not we're talking it a bit too far. But as a joke in an interview, it's kind of a wet blanket remark.

I didn't say it was a good joke. Still, she mocked her own supposed suggestion. Which says to me it was clearly not serious.

I don't know but I really wish someone would make a proper Men in Black movie. horror. rated R. evil Men in Black stalking the characters.

I used to obsess over UFO mythology in the 90's. and it still annoys me that the world now thinks the Men in Black are good guys.

This works

However, there is case to be made to leave the name the same as it is now. Naturally, such an agency would be founded by men and would have in its inception been exclusive to men. Obviously that changed with the times. Still, such an organization would cling to tradition and not update the name to reflect the times. It makes sense and it can be a gimmick. The fact that it is still called "men in black" could be a self-aware joke to the tune of Will Smith's character saying "it came with a black guy, but he kept getting pulled over" in MiB2 when he showcased the self-driving car with "decoy human" driver and Tommy Lee Jones asked if the decoy driver came standard.

It is a line in the new movie. I should clarify, the subject of a line in the new movie.

Men in black in real life are HORRIFYING. Just picture you seeing something weird in your backyard, and then minutes later you have 20 creepy-looking dudes in black suits in your house starting at you(God knows how they got in your house).

It legit should be a horror movie. I agree with you.
