As a white male in his 30s, I am extremely offended by Black Panther 's inclusion of a WHAT ARE THOOOOOOSE meme. I actually love that whole scene but it's amazing that they literally just put a "Q gives Bond his gadgets" scene into this movie Gaz-L fucked around with this message at 22:24 on Feb 18, 2018 |

Ugly In The Morning posted:Jesus, Black Panther is expecting to make as much domestic gross in 4 days as Justice League did total. That’s nuts. $192 million domestically over the three day weekend (not counting President's Day) means it beats Deadpool's debut for February releases, it's the second biggest opening for a Marvel movie behind The Avengers, and it's the fifth biggest opening of all time. It's already over $300 million internationally and still hasn't even opened in regions like China yet.

It also beat the previous best debut solo movie in the MCU. By 75 million.

Its too bad Luke Cage will never meet Black Panther in the movies. Maybe Wakanda Outreach can appear in the second season, but seriously, its a shame.

Imagine telling this to some comics nerds twenty years ago. Or that a Thor movie outperformed Justice League. Or that Iron Man would be the face and most popular hero of modern superhero movies. Or that there's been not one but two highly successful and critically acclaimed Guardians of the Galaxy movies.

At my second showing of BP and this is insane. I've never seen a theater this packed on a Sunday at 3PM. It's possible I've never been in a theater this packed unless it was a special showing. We meant to get a 3PM screening with MoviePass but it was sold out. The kiosk had a 3:30 showing that wasn't in the MoviePass app. It worked anyway by checking into the 3 showing.

It's the damndest thing, when you have a movie made by and marketed to women and POC, they actually show up and see the movie! Who the gently caress knew? Maybe next time time some dumbass exec at WB thinks it's a great idea to cut out the black love interest and cut down most the screen time for the black hero for the benefit of a white russian family, they'll loving remember this. Also, how come no one is talking about how fine M'baka looked?

M'baku was actually the dark horse of the movie for me. I didn't know that Lupita's character was a villain in the Priest run of the comics, but I knew M'baku is like one of the 3 big Panther baddies along with Killmonger and Klaw, so when he's much more the Han Solo snarky rear end in a top hat who's really a good dude deep down it really caught me off guard. Also, I love how heavily they used Stelfreeze's art as inspiration in this movie.

Outside of cartoons or whatever, I'll be happy if he only appears in the next Avengers movie (or movies depending on how close #4 ties in with #3) before the BP sequel. The MCU has a bad habit of overexposing a good thing. Let the viewers miss them for a bit. edit: Same for Spider-Man. Teenage Fansub fucked around with this message at 01:03 on Feb 19, 2018 |

The last 3rd felt ever so slightly rushed and I wasn't a huge fan of Kaluuya's character at all (his quick pivot to fighting against his King and friend for a guy he literally doesn't know at all felt fast, unearned and weak) but the movie was insanely good. The women were definitely the high point - Shuri, Nakia and Okoye were amazing. Also I haven't seen a reaction like my showing had in a movie since . . . I don't know. I'm not sure I've ever seen it. When Killmonger said he wanted to die like his people did, jumping from the ships into the water rather than being enslaved, the theater erupted. And rightly so. mikeraskol fucked around with this message at 01:05 on Feb 19, 2018 |

I was definitely pleasantly surprised with how they used M'Baku here because my only exposure to him before this film was having to beat his rear end over and over and over...and over and over and over and over again...every other day in the Marvel Heroes PC game in order to get the daily loot to...eh...I don't even remember what the loot was for anymore. I miss that game.

Oh that's right, be was boss of the Vibranium mines. For some reason I feel like Killmonger was a jobber villain that would show up there too? mikeraskol posted:The last 3rd felt ever so slightly rushed and I wasn't a huge fan of Kaluuya's character at all (his quick pivot to fighting against his King and friend for a guy he literally doesn't know at all felt fast, unearned and weak) but the movie was insanely good.

T'challa failed in this, and then Killmonger shows up with Klaw and he sees someone who can get things done that T'challa cannot. Its interesting in a movie with a mostly black cast, of that black cast, most of them are women. Interesting and awesome!

I actually do agree that W'Kabi's betrayal, while understandable in the abstract, did feel a bit out of place. Like, it doesn't matter if Killmonger killed Klaw if the only reason he killed Klaw is to manipulate you and you dang well know that the only reason he did it was to manipulate you! That being said, there was a line earlier in the film where W'Kabi specifically says that he wouldn't actually object to sending Wakanda's armies out into the world to bust some heads if that's what the T'Challa wanted. So it's not like his own philosophies were absolutely, 100% opposed to Killmonger's in the first place.

Saw it a second time and loved it again. I've been crossing my arms in front of my chest all day. I just wanna say that I hate the new Marvel opening still. It's bad. I got emotional at that first chat with T'Chaka again. When he tells T'Challa to surround himself with people he trusts, I'm sure he meant Nakia and Shuri, but it gave me Avengers vibes and that made me ultra happy. My secret impossible dream is everybody surviving Thanos and the last 10 minutes of the 4th Avengers is just everybody talking and hanging out at Tony and Pepper's wedding.

Like, we get it, you have all these heroes to show off, we’ve been seeing them for 10 years now. Just do the old comic page flip thing and get to the movie.

Which hey, the MCU kicks rear end so I get it, but it's just not visually satisfying in any way. Also, I forgot to give love to a very minor part that I liked the second time around: When T'Challa tells M'Baku that he can't speak for past kings. I feel like that line, in spite of how short it was, is what changed his mind ultimately. He has to give T'Challa the chance to be different if he ever wants him to be. The same chance that Killmonger threw away so he could cling to his pride. I think it's super important that M'Baku showing up is what turns the tide in the battle for that reason. That last line though. What a radical thing to say.

The scene with W'Kabi is right after they bring Ross to Wakanda. After T'Challa confronts Zuri (after the scene with W'Kabi), he talks with Nakia, then gets called back by Shuri to find out who Killmonger is, then it's the throne room scene.

AMC was not ready for the last minute added screenings. It was muddy, blurry, and frame rate went to poo poo whenever the camera panned. The volume was super low and sounded like I was wearing earmuffs. Tons of lines were drowned out by laughter INCLUDING the Disneyland line which I looked out for this time. I would've been pissed if it were my first time.
