I said it before, i know it's fiction, but a technologically advanced African nation

Some stuff is just too far fetched to believe.

Thor ragnarok is more believable.

Where did I say I hated it?

I liked the character in Civil War.

Just not on my list to see in the theater.

(I didn't see Civil War in the theater either)

I figured Luke Cage would get some bitching, there was rap and hip hop music (I don't care for rap or hip hop either but it was a pretty good sound track) and some Trayvon Martin hoody stuff so although I liked it (fight at the end wasn't that great) I figured it would be unpopular here.

But this is a film about a completely made up black nation in africa that has science fiction stuff because they have unobtainium mines, and the character has been around for decades, and people are still mad? Because it portrays Africans in a fictional movie in a positive light? I bitch about comic book PC stuff all the time but being mad about The Black Panther is weird.

Like Cage was good. Jessica Jones was better. I haven’t been bowled over by any of the Netflix stuff, but Daredevil was great.

Black Panther looks like the kids of the cast from Coming to America are pissed their parents didn’t make a serious movie.

Iron Fist was a mess, I never finished it. The rest was okay, Defenders was weak, the ninja stuff is all from the 80s and seems old and tedious now even if it part of the "mythology" of the characters

I was trying to forget Iron Fist. Ugh.

I’m on the fence about The Defenders. I really like The Hand storylines in the comic books and Stick has always been a favorite of mine.

The Punisher seemed weak to me.

I’d like to see an Elektra series on Netflix done dark and gritty like the Punisher.

I don't mind movies featuring black people, as long as thug life is not represented. To me thug life / hood behavior is disgusting, and 180 degrees what people SHOULD strive for.

They thug it up / SJW it and the only way ill watch it is bootleg / free, if at all.

Diversity.

Having all black actors in an all black film about a predominantly black country that all share the same political affiliation is not the definition of diversity; quite the contrary actually.

I'll probably watch it just like I do all marvel movies. I also don't expect much...

I'm sure they will have some white main characters just like the black Asgardians.

IIRC, there are two white characters.

One is a bad guy (Claw) and the other is Bilbo Watson.

I'm planning on seeing it.  Matinee with the lower crowd time.  I enjoyed the character in the comics and how he has been shown so far on the screen.  I do have some hesitation about Michael B Jordan in it as he contributed to the last FF disaster, however Chris Evans did the first two (ironically they both played the same role) and I don't know if I could watch Cap in any other actor right now.

If they stay truly "African" in culture it should be a solid film.  And it's Marvel, doesn't look like the genie is done kicking hits out of the bottle yet.

My cousin is a comic book guy and he had a good point.  A lot of these Marvel movies have villains that are basically clones of the protagonist.  Leads to a boring story.

I just saw the trailer.  It made my head hurt.  I surmise it will be a “visually stunning” film, but will be so preoccupied with pushing a SJW message, the otherwise good story line will get washed out.

Stan Lee and Jack Kirby created the character and story line so it has potential.  However, if people are expecting it to succeed like Ironman or the X-men, I hope they are ready for disappointment.  I see it on the same level as Ant Man or other B team marvel super heroes.

I’ll see it at some point. It doesn’t feel as mandatory to me as some of the other movies but not every comic was mandatory for me either. Mainly because my entertainment dollars are not unlimited. Shoot, I still haven’t seen Logan and Wolverine is my favorite character.

Entertain me on Netflix or cable or something and I’ll be happy enough for the couple hours they have me.

Would it surprise you to know that District 9 was about current events and racism in South Africa and not the apartheid of the past? The south African writer (I beliwvw) was shocked at how many people thought it was about the latter.

I'm not the first to point this out but is Asgard with Norse God more realistic?

I think the SJWs acting like Wakanda is real are funny but to act like Asgard is ok for a movie but Wakanda is a bridge to far for fiction does point to some tribal issues.

If they treated it like a Thor/Asgard movie (IE Flash Gordon sort of thing except in Africa with Africans) I would go see it.

Instead they are hyping it with a bunch of Black Power crap so fuck them they aren't getting any of my money.
