Marvel's The Black Panther

[crows]

So, in other words, you're telling us that it's "silly" to enjoy a political movie without taking the political aspects into consideration? I'll have you know I enjoyed the Hell out of the movie and thought it was a really good CBM without even paying attention to anything political. I'm sure there's some big stuff that I missed, but I very rarely to never engage in politics for good reason.

you can do whatever the hell you freaking want.

just dont get your panties in a bunch and start getting angry at people for doing what the director intended. You can dress like an actual panther and growl at your neighbors if you want lol. who gives a crap

The point is, you guys are getting so ANGRY at what the director hoped to do... this movie was meant to open a conversation. even if it was a controversial one.

but to come here all High and Mighty and declare that politics should stay out of the conversation of such a political movie is rather naive and counterproductive. (Like if that makes you A Better person or something)

You can ALSO talk among yourselves about the movie if you want, but getting angry at the people discussing the politics means you should get angry at the director too. and since you loved the movie so much it just becomes a huge cluster----

So? Who cares. It’s a movie line about slaves jumping ship not about who freaking sold them.
It’s like me saying why so serious is a good line.
Then someone comes along and says, it’s ok to be serious ya know. Not everything has to be some stupid political argument. And I’m definitely not going down this road cause it seems like you can’t say anything good about this movie or bad cause it will spark some ******* debate.

Black panther was good - dur u hate white people.
Black panther was bad- dur u hate blsck people.

Jeez this thread.

Haven't seen it yet either but after spollers etc. what throws me about that line is Killmonger's background so if someone can fill in appreciate it. Because isn't Killmonger 1/2 royalty and Wakanda had been around a while so his ancestors would never have been slaves if Wakanda was traditionally isolated. Plus some reviewers hint that Kilmonger's mother may have been white? So from him the line makes no sense if he's T'challa's cousin.

As for the line itself IMO for me it's pretty typical of stuff in my area and I'm gonna guess a lot of "diverse" U.S. areas. Just sayin' for the snark from some about the potential discomfort some might feel for lines in the movie - nobody mentions the fatigue factor. E.g. in U.S. locales it's nothing new. New for an MCU movie I guess.

Jesus, the first showing today sold out while I was about 20 ft from the gate, I can't ever remember not getting into a freaking Sunday showing.

It was good movie. Not one that left me wanting to revisit. Same level as Doctor Strange. It did feel long and had a super predictable story.

Iron Monger was the standout character and acting wise.

Klaue was runner up followed by Black Wonder Woman.

I liked the Kitty Fists.

The second most meh Stan Lee cameo.

All that advanced supertechnology and they couldn't give Tchalla's dad a better looking fake eye? Maybe Forest Whitaker was his real son?

Winter Soldier sporting a man-bun.

Bottom line is that no [White] person should feel threatened by the points Coogler raises. I'm White and I loved this movie. The last thing I feel is threatened and offended by it's anti-Colonialist subject matter.

This is a great and meaningful movie.

Going to see this this afternoon with my 14 year old nephew.

This is by far the best Marvel movie. I've always held Winter Soldier with such praise and high regard, but I think this tops it just a little for me. Absolutely love the original score for it. And the soundtrack aint half bad either.

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

Wife's having second thoughts on seeing this now.

Going to see this this afternoon with my 14 year old....

....nephew.

 

[Victοr]

>someone finally made that joke
Thanks Clown. Twas driving me nuts.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Well at least I'll get the "kids" perspective on this.

I think you're really gonna dig it, broski.

*still worried about your mental competency for liking that horrendous Solo trailer.

Saw it today and it was an amazing movie. Up there with Winter Soldier, IMO. A really strong story and an awesome, awesome ensemble cast. It stands out bright in the MCU, but it also stands alone very well.

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

- Strong domestic opening (fifth biggest ever), but a bit soft internationally.
- Expected to do well in the UK and South Korea where some scenes were filmed.
- Largest demographic were African Americans 37%, more than double the usual numbers for blockbusters.
-Smallest demographic were Asians with 5%.
- BP broke numerous records for 33 AMC theaters, but they won't say the locations, other than the Atlanta area.
- Still hasn't opened in China.

Watch and learn from Grace.

Well she has encouraged me to learn how to use a sniper rifle, so that's a start.
