hollywood does a black superhero movie.

villain is hailed as antihero still spent most of his life as a killdog for white devils.

has some rooted african influence but we're going to make the jabari tribe monkeys that have a simian chant because fuck ya'll.

good aesthetics on the costume i need one of those long-shirts boseman was wearing.

posits africans are closer to nature and their earth mother but when showing the landscape of fictional wakandan capital, the city looks like any other inspid techno-trash from a myriad of other movies because this is the pinnacle of human imagination.

casually call white people colonizers.

white people: we like this because we have black friends.

black people: we represented now and empowered let me pay my hard earned money to marvel to see this again and again!

represent yourself, motherfuckers. lupita's pretty bad though i'd beat.

also yea even if it was the best marvel movie, which it wasn't, their average is terribad.

p.s. anything that talks about birthright concerning a monarchy is subconsciously conditioning you to accept the elite and in so doing lower your 'inherent' stock.

That's one way to look at it and a perspective I considered while watching.

Kindve goes off my point that there was alot to think about.....sadly tho I think you're right and alot of people will be thinking about and or misinterpreting key peices of knowledge from the movie.

Hey, while it's cool to see African Americans represented so strongly in a movie, this probably won't be the catalyst for change. Can't see too many influential people saying "Yo this is awesome this racism, economically disadvantaging minorities is top 3 best things of all time imo"...."But yo, there was this movie and the guy totally beat up some bad guys...and guess what....HE WAS A BLACK!" ..."Good point...let's only racism Mexicans now bros"

i liked the movie, btw. t'challa's dialogue with his father in the ancestral plain lit with a purple-sky, erik killmonger's mirrored scene with his pops where the same sky can only be seen through shitty project windows, and the final dialogue between the two cousins were all dope.

but there are a lot of problems with it, and with the (overwhelmingly) positive reaction from its demograph. no one thinks for themselves anymore it's depressing.

It was sadly only just a movie. But 90% of the population doesn't read or travel enough to formulate an educated perspective on the world. But they do watch television, go to the movies and listen to music. Three forms of media that have historically been used to condition the mind via social engineering. For instance, there is a reason it was once called tv "programing". In any case, showing strong and prominent African Americans on screen. In a positive light. Does have a physiological effect on young and impressionable minds. There is no doubt what Eng said is true. It is a Disney film after all. A company that is at the pinnacle of subversive and subliminal imagery and messaging. However, that is only one side of the coin. Because Black Panther (on a microcosmic level), much like the tenure of former President Obama, may not be perfect, may even have a hidden agenda, but the superficial symbology of what it represent for black and brown people the world over is a powerful thing. Art has long imitated life, but it seems over the last century or so, in many instances, the opposite has been true. Thus saying, the more movies we have like Black Panther the more the world's view of certain subgroups of people will start to change. Of course this argument is independent of economic and political inequalities. I'm just speaking on social perspectives in terms of media influence that can have a real effect on altering stereotypical points of view.

If one wants to change the world he must first start by changing the way that people look at it. Weapons and armies can only do so much. Men can eventually be defeated. Ideas. Well, ideas are a harder thing to extinguish.

Logan is top 5.
Blade is as well.
I think I'm in the minority, but I always thought Constantine was pretty good for a comic flick.

Bruh I dunno why Toby gets so much hate spider 2 was fucking awesome. And @ACTIVATE SELF Constantine is one of my favorite movies. It has one of the greatest cameos I think in movie history. The guy who played the devil dam near made it s classic for me lol. And John wick never disappoints

[Chamber]

infinity wars gonna be Goat tho.

but Winter solider is the best marvel movie fuck wat ya heard boi.

[ACTIVATE SELF]

Lol smh

[Enbombz]

But in all seriousness I don't know what I really got from it.

I mean the "we don't get involved in anyone's affairs" seemed like a dig at America world police. Then when they concluded they should be getting involved it felt they only said that they shouldn't get involved so they could say they really should I.e they do the right thing.

The deepest bit was that they had to create a fake country so there would be a advanced and wealthy country in Africa. I think life's a bit deeper than the movie the movie just scraped the surface.

I think the best thing about the movie is that it sparked dialogue. It's interesting to see the different points of view and interpretations people had about it.
