*sigh* Of course some people would use any opportunity to downplay TLJ's box office gross. Black Panther exceeding all expectations isn't simply something to applaud Ryan Coogler & crew for. It needs to be used to lambast Rian Johnson's "failure" to produce the second-biggest movie of the past 20 years, because "LOL Star Wars got beat by a standalone superhero movie! $620M for TLJ = BOMB!!!" I've never seen such gross overreaction over a movie before. To me, BP's performance says a lot about its own status as a cultural phenomenon, and nothing about the state of Star Wars.
Moving along, Black Panther is, in inflation-adjusted domestic terms, on track to pass The Dark Knight to become the second-biggest superhero movie ever, and stands a good chance of getting within $10 million of The Avengers. It's already the 18th biggest movie of the "Blockbuster Era" of cinema. Quite a remarkable achievement. I don't think anyone ever expected it to do this well. And it was a damn good movie, too, so it's not like a Bayformers movie making far bigger bank than it has any reason doing. |
Right? People are too fixated on agendas. Just be happy for what does well instead of focusing on what does poorly, and it's kind of gross to think people will go so far out of their way to disparage something or be negative.

You mean the people that made and promoted this movie are too fixated on agendas right? It's not about "disparaging", people are fighting for equal standards, against an oppressive society promoting some warped version of minority mob rule. Fighting against the oppression Olympics that is destroying the kind of equality that we have already achieved. I thought you're all about equality and promoting fairness, yet when people are fighting for fairness against an agenda that you hold dear (an ironically unfair one) then all of a sudden they're just disparaging racists.
