I know it's always been Black, it takes place in Africa that's located in a North Korean styled secluded state. Wakanda. My gripe is that Black Panther doesn't deserve it's critical praise and box office success because it's status was achieved by having an all black cast - that's it.
That's kind of pathetic don't you think? Like everything about your movie is like that spoiled popular rich kid in High School that got Prom King just because he drives a Porsche to school.
This would never happen with an all Asian cast, or an all Indian cast, or an all Native American cast, or any other minority for that matter. The movie is successful because everyone was black, not because it was good movie - which it wasn't. The action choreography was terrible. |
Absolutely not and you're looking at it through a via biased lense. This is simply a blockbuster benefitting from appealing to a broad demographic, whilst also fulfilling an underserved "niche" or demographic.
If you have issue with BP doing well you should have a problem with most other blockbuster approaching 1 billion, because there are plenty of movies with better story telling, more interesting characters, better performances which don't even come close to making 100m WW. But they don't have the wide appeal of a shiny, blockbuster which appeals to demographics of all kinds. Why is it only an issue when one of these core demographics is black people, POC, people who are interested in seeing different kind of aesthetics and culture on screen? Do you also complain when films and games targeted at a white male demographic do amazingly well?
