I really dont get the super-performance at the box office. Black Panther was a C-level hero at best. Where are these Black Panther fans coming from? It cant just be a cultural thing. I mean, none of that cultural phenomenon stuff is spilling over to Black Lightening.


Add all this together

Good movie
Marvel movie
99.5% black cast
2018
Infinity Gauntlet comes out next month

Everyone sees it

One more: Black Panther appeared in the Civil War movie and kicked all sorts of ass, which created more hype.

It's a cultural thing. It'shard to explain to White folk but, it genuinely means a lot to us to see our own race represented so perfectly on screen. It doesn't make sense for their not to be a lot of Black heroes or minority. The best thing was BP was so fucking self aware I'm just saying I know a lot of Black kids are gunna be growing up with a new hero to look up too.

They can finally dress up as superheroes that look like them without their parents having to bust out the VHS player and explaining who Meteor Man is or why Cyborg isn't as lame as you'd actually think.

I think I understand where the BP downplayers are coming from. When you're represented so much in media, you don't realize it anymore and it just becomes "normal".
"Why do we need a African superhero movie set in Africa? What's wrong with other superheroes?" says the (you know what, we all know what kind of person says this, no need to hide it) person

So when people are hyped that another kind of gender/ethnicity besides the standard middle aged white male is represented, you get those people who just can't be happy unless someone that looks like them is the main character, even if they have no intent on seeing it, so then theres a blowback calling the movie "SJW" and other stuff

Unfortunately this kind of person thrives on white nationalist communities such as 4chan and T_D.

Just sucks that it's come to this instead of people from any race being represented without blowback.

Star-Lord or Bucky will be. Hell Spidey has a better chance.

Chadwick is a solid actor but he doesn't have the charisma to lead and easily got over shadowed in his own movie

Yep. Picking the lead of an ensemble movie to be the face of the MCU is a weird decision. GOTG is the furthest away from everyone else too.

It's either him or Captain Marvel tbh

why is Iron Man 3 #4 if it made more than CA:CW

I don't think BP is gonna beat IM3's international gross but yeah I think domestically it will be #1 at this point. 111 million more to do it (unadjusted for inflation) which is basically 16 days of only making 7m a day, so for BP expect it by around this time next week, or end of next weekend lol

Surely IM2 was worse. IM3 didn't leave a great taste in my mouth, but IM2 could be dropped completely and the only thing you'd lose was the Natasha's introduction. And even that isn't much, because she's not really used well there.

It's going to be Sam. Bucky is still a wanted criminal for all that Hydra shit. He's gotta go through that crucible before he can pick up that shield.

They can finally dress up as superheroes that look like them without their parents having to bust out the VHS player and explaining who Meteor Man is or why Cyborg isn't as lame as you'd actually think.

I want to emphasize just how positive this movie's influence is. You guys gotta understand: there have been very few movies, no media in general, that shows African culture as cool, diverse, and positive as BP did. It actually felt genuinely awesome seeing a black movie not about slavery, rap, or worse, Tyler Perry. We have a cast of black actors and actresses each killing their roles, kicking ass, and looking fine as hell (LYUPITA PLZ MARRY ME), and above all else, it's still a fun, superhero movie with some substance and depth. They did a phenomenal job with the production and I am glad to have supported the movie.

Nakia>Shuri. Change my mind
You can't.
