I thought Loevcraft hated black people? How come they're in his new show?

For delicious irony I think. You are right. He was very racist. But he doesn't get to make decisions anymore. I think its kind of funny personally

Because it's JJ Abrams and Jordan Peele. It's most likely going to be a high spectacle critical analysis of race in America that just barely uses the Lovecraft name as vehicle for their story.

The fact that the trailer shows multiple monsters already demonstrates that they don't really get what Lovecraft stories were about.

Race/racism is a theme in the book the show is based on

Oh, so it's not actually Lovecraft adaptation. It's an adaptation of a horror book centered around racism that just happens to use the Lovecraft name. That explains why things seem so off.

It's based on a book that actually got Lovecraft extremely well. Implying that monsters mean they don't understand Lovecraft is just lulz
