And the actual film isn't that good. Its easily a top 10 comic book movie. The fact that its the first all black superhero movie is huge. While we had blade and hancock before neither had the success of Black Panther and also Blade wasnt a family film. Its quite easy to see why a film like this would be well received and blown up. Most really good superhero movies are, actually most movies with an intended fanbase are blown up I just don't see why someone would have a problem with it --- [Your sig sucks] Waaaaah <cite>KingCrabCake posted [p:896374807] in man this w...

Even compared to Harry Potter and LOTR fandom? The difference is we all agreed that those people took it too far, or at elast that was my understanding?

Damn, we can't get one movie and be excited about it huh? and then people will say "Why weren't you guys as excited about Blade?" like a singular black lead in a cast of white people in which the story literally wouldn't change if he was white compares to a majority black cast big budget film set in Africa --- http://i.imgur.com/MFTpPuq.jpg <cite>Akagami_Shanks posted [p:896375417] in man this w...

masterpug53 02/19/18 2:05:47 PM #66:	My biggest impression I had when first watching the trailer (and why I thought even then that this movie would probably end up being a big deal) was Wakanda itself. Most if not all black-centric movies show black people in primitive African dwellings, or slavery, or urban squalor; it's historically accurate and important to depict this, but not exactly hopeful, to say the least. I can reasonably surmise that the hyper-advanced Wakanda is one of (if not the) the first large-scale, high-profile fantasy / scifi idealization that black people can truly call their own. So it makes sense that it's kind of a big deal. --- Simple questions deserve long-winded answers that no one will bother to read. <cite>masterpug53 posted [p:896377777] in man this w...
