The audience reviews section on RT for Black Panther are something else. https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/black_panther_2018/reviews/?type=user My favourite is this This movie was an awful attempt to push the lefts agenda of that African Americans are the only good functioning people of society and that they are superior to whites and that they have focused way to hard on the whole race thing. When focusing so much on politics it really gets in the way of me enjoying this movie, if it wasn't so focused on this I would've loved it. or this Not interested. I fully expect it to be super saturated with social justice including explicit anti-white and anti-police themes. (With 36 pages of mostly 'not interested' user ratings, the 95% 'want to see' overall tomatometer user rating is highly suspect.) Anti-Police !!! lomzus fucked around with this message at 14:33 on Feb 11, 2018 |

Black Panther is a huge deal the same way Wonder Woman was a huge deal, in the sense that it's not really at all because it's just a mediocre popcorn movie that no one except internet grognards will remember 5 years from now

Ireallylikeeggs posted:The post of a white man threatened by Michael B Jordan's weaponized attractiveness. I mean, he's probably not wrong. It's great that WW and BP focus on two demographics that don't usually get represented, and that they feel these movies are something special is enough to actually make these special, but from a cinematic point of view WW at least (and I suspect BP) was a competantly made superhero movie, but not extraordinary in any way. IMO of course. I will say though, i am thrilled that BP continues the superhero trend of having insanely hot eyecandy (hulk, arrowman and quicksilver notwithstanding) Edit: It's actually insane how attractive most actors in these superhero flicks are, something I hadn't considered before.

It's a huge deal in my film circles as well because the cast and crew is majority black and it's hard for black people to find work in this industry that isn't a Tyler Perry gig. It will be remembered for that alone.

I don't want to cut down dudes like Spike Lee who have been making great black movies for decades but Black Panther is what everyone is excited about.

Superheroes have been mainstream pop culture for decades now. It seems silly to be in year 10 of Marvel's Wild Ride and still think it's a passing fad or that this here superhero nonsense is gonna fall off in the next year. People are going to remember Black Panther and Wonder Woman.

People are going to remember Black Panther and Wonder Woman. Agreed, people still talk about Batman Forever and Superman III and stuff. And especially now we have retrospectives on youtube, home media, and forums like this one, none of this stuff is ever going to go away. It will be with us until the sun explodes, and probably beyond that when alien races find the remnants of our destroyed earth and manage to find a pristine copy of Blade preserved in the dust, upon which they shall base their entire society.

Has there ever been a film with this size budget and a 99% black cast? That’s why it’s a big deal.

I legit have a Red Tails poster in my room because teenage me liked hot dudes it was awesome to see a black cast outside of an movie were Eddie Murphy played all the characters. Don't forget the unapologetically black marketing campaign: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIKnmVqCFO4 I've never seen toys marketed to black kids like this before. BP is a cultural phenomenon. People are buying tickets for entire classes, getting dressed to the 9s and getting our hair did. It will be remembered. Look how happy these kids are to go see this poo poo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=93MSreUijCg

Red Tails had a $50 mil budget, which seems pretty low for something that had to do flying and combat scenes I would imagine. There has never been a predominantly (forget even nearly entirely) black movie with a $200 million budget before, or anywhere close.

Even if it was only half black I would still be impressed. Imagine if it came out in the 80s or 90s, T'Challa would be the only black person in the main cast and it would take place in America. Except for his love interest, she'd be black too because, well, you know.... something something "jungle fever".

Hell, even these days Marvel probably could have "played it safe" and done a Black Panther movie that didn't extensively showcase Wakanda as the primary setting and didn't feature a 95% black cast and crew and a lot of people would still have thought "eh, I guess it's good enough even if it's not as ambitious as it could be."

The only evidence I need that there is something important and special about this movie at this moment in time is how many other white people seem compelled to loudly yell about how, sight unseen, there's nothing special or important about it and black people should calm down

There's, y'know, also gonna be sequels coming out for both these films in a couple years so after that we have to reset our five-year counter again for when those films are gonna be forgotten too! The bubble is about to burst I can just feel it

That's what people are talking about when they say these films aren't for "us", though. Maybe in 5 minutes BP won't be firmly entrenched in the minds of a bunch of 20-40 years old white guys, but the black 12 year old who goes to see it? He's going to remember this for a long time.
