I still have problems with the "Benevolent King" philosophy of Black Panther.

There were moments in the movie that I thought the filmmakers were aware of how hypocritical the whole concept of Wakanda society was. But there wasn´t much they could do to change it since it is the core of the character.

However, the true hypocrites are Disney PR that flooded the media with misleading information regarding the "unprecedented feat" of a black superhero film.

The final fight was terrible, though. It seems those models were placeholders for pre-visualisation but they run out of time to film it with real actors.

Did you even watch the film?

That's the point. This is the type of movie where even though the bad guy is a homicidal maniac who needs to be stopped, he does have a point.

Yes, the villain in BP has a good point... until they made him Hitler, and lather a plastic doll.

If I were black I would find more damaging the concept that an African nation can only have developed with mystical powers granted by change (literally falling from the sky). And that after so much advance they are still a society bound by tribal traditions like ritualistic fights for determining the ruler.

If the filmmakers were a little less talented the movie could have been a disaster. 

SW TLJ grossed $600 less than TFW. That is almost the whole Justice League BO.

I don´t think there is much room for Infinity War to pass Avengers 1 or Iron Man 3. It won´t have the media bliss BP is getting and will face stronger competition during the summer.

The floor for Marvel superheroes movies has gone up, but the ceiling is at the same place since Iron Man 3.

You say that as if neither of those things have ever happened before. Very few people have an issue with female/ minority leads; it’s when we’re told that we have to like them lest we be labeled bigots, or when we have to stomach yet another HuffPost article complaining a movie with white male leads being too successful. Black Panther and Wonder Woman are successful because they were both genuinely good films. People enjoy them for that reason; not because of the roles. 

Okay so you guys have to accept that everyone is different and you can't define people's reasons for enjoying something.  I read your comments and shake my head like 'who actually thinks about these things'  then I realize that you are different.  You are groomed to question peoples reasoning and have to hold it up to what you think they should like or want to see.   And thats okay.  You think differently.    Just apply that to folks who really think that way.  A young business lady in my town got into comics and superheros after watching Xmen and seeing Storm.  To her, she never saw people like herself in the genre and that gave her a greater appreciation for the genre overall.  While I might not get it or experience the same thing, I recognize it as a valid thought process and perspective. Likewise, if I dismissed you being flabergassed, It would be because I am too close minded to accept that you have a different perspective. 

All is well :)

I am saying that I am not judging you or even attempting to change your point of view.  I am saying that everyone is different and thats fine.  I don't know what plot armor is.  Could you explain what you mean by that?

Fair enough. 

TLJ is actually going to end up ~$730M-740M behind TFA.  Which is ~$80M more than JL's take.  Pretty bad when they were most likely only expecting to be down by ~$250M-$350M, which BOM called the "safe bet."

Though, I don't agree with your assessment of IW's chances at the BO.  Avengers:AOU passed Iron Man 3 by ~$190M WW.  Don't see why IW can't at least match that.  Especially when it has pretty much everyone's fave MCU characters in it.  As long as the movie isn't godawful like JL, which I don't think any MCU has been, or seem like a total clusterfuck, I think it has a good chance to have a great BO result.  There's a chance it could beat the OG Avengers, but even if it doesn't, I doubt it will be much below it.

Yea, the CG left a lot to be desired.  Like I said in another post, the CG in the OG Iron Man was better.  And that was a decade ago.

Nice vid.  Subbed to her.  God, it sickens me that Disney allowed her to promote the film wearing a shirt with the member of a hate group on it.  That would be like letting Chris Evans promote Captain America while wearing a shirt with Nathan Bedford Forrest, an early leader of the KKK, on it.  Pathetic.
