[quote="BigDave"]I don't get why people were so upset. The SJW stuff is from a bad guy. I guess some racists will be upset about a fictional prosperous nation of black people. But there's nothing offensive in the movie. It's different from most of the Marvel movies because it's more serious and has almost no comedy, whereas Thor and Iron Man are largely comic relief in most of the movies they are in. So if you are going looking for Thor to be cracking jokes, you'll be disappointed.[/quote]


I haven't seen it, but the reviews and SJW-buzzwordageddon alone is quite off-putting.

Haha, that's right, they're dissing Wesley Snipes!

It's worth seeing, even with a plot centered around blacks being victims and needing either advanced weapons or advanced technology to fight back their oppression. Because it's everyone else that's the problem.

I'd like to check out out, but the last time I took my kids to a movie during tax season, I feel asleep ten minutes in. I'm just too tired this time of year... and movie theaters make for an expensive nap.

I’m guessing that beat the newspaper self indulgence flick pretty handily.
I expect an inordinate number of blacks in America came out to see it.

My wife and I have had season subscriptions to the local theater for 20+ years. Every time one of the shows has a black theme or a heavily black cast, blacks come out in droves to see the shows. Any other show not a one in the crowd. Conversely the white patrons come to all shows in the same numbers, regardless of the "theme" or diversity of the cast. I presume this is what is happening with this movie as well-- a surge of black viewership because of the theme and cast composition.
Yep, racist blacks out to cheer a BLM themed movie on top of white nerds.
Good grief man.
That’s tame for him.

TDS strikes again. You can't have an article about a movie without the gratuitous cheap shot at Trump if you're a lefty. Is this how they think professionals should behave?

=======================================

Esquire Article on 'Black Panther' Actor Takes Cheap Shots at Trump
By P.J. Gladnick | February 21, 2018 8:14 PM EST

Esquire magazine writer Matt Miller doesn't like President Donald Trump. I get that. However, does he have to bring his Trump derangement into articles unrelated to him? An example is his February 21 story about one of The Black Panther actors, Winston Duke, who played the character of M'Baku. It took Miller just three paragraphs before his Trump obsession kicked in with gratuitous cheap shots:
In late 2016, shortly after finding out he'd been cast as M'Baku in Black Panther—and the news of his casting had quickly made its way online—Winston Duke went to Blastoff Comics in North Hollywood to begin research for his first-ever movie role.

“I went in there, and the guy recognized me,” Duke says, “and he just pulled out all the comics that my character had ever appeared in.”

He started reading like crazy, immersing himself in the fictional African nation of Wakanda, an Afrofuturist utopia “that exists outside of the -isms—racism, colonialism,” as Duke explains. “It’s a world that doesn’t define itself in proximity to whiteness.” A few weeks later, the film began shooting during a time when the real world faced its own uncertainty: President Donald Trump had taken the Oath of Office amid a resurgence of white nationalism in America.
The article continued with its Trump obsession:
“After that election it was like, What’s next? We went into this movie wondering, Oh my God, is the world ready for this film? Like so many people in the country, I was wondering where I stood—wondering where my narratives stood,” Duke says. “Going into that, and making this film, I just hoped and prayed that this film could be received for all that it can be.”

But as Trump tried and failed with his immigration ban and kept shouting about building walls, Duke went to work every day with a group of black creatives—director Ryan Coogler and co-stars Chadwick Boseman, Michael B. Jordan, Lupita Nyong’o, Danai Gurira, Daniel Kaluuya, and Letita Wright—working to do the opposite.
Well, at least we know that Trump completely owns Matt Miller's mind. Oh, and perhaps he should wait until the Supreme Court rules on the travel ban case in April before claiming he failed.
