DC Tom Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 As a white guy, am I even allowed to see Black Panther? I'm honestly not sure at this point. Is it "woke" to see it? Is it "woke" not to? If I see a "black superhero" movie, am I somehow supporting cultural appropriation? Am I unfairly participating in Afrofuturism? Seriously...any interest I had in seeing this movie - which was not inconsiderable - simply isn't worth the hassle of the racial-political minefield I'd have to negotiate to see it.

It was great up until the end... ruined a chance for something really special in the genre and instead fell back on a rote "everyone fight everyone" final set piece. Overall though, worth the angst to check out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It made over 200 million over the weekend (the most successful weekend opening ever in February) so lots of white guys saw it. You'll be fine. For those who saw it is their anything unique about it or is it just another version of Wonder Woman (which was excellent) except we have a black lead instead of a female? We've already had a lead black superheroes with Wesley Snipes (Blade series) and Will Smith (Hancock). We've already went through the MLK/Malcolm X comparisons in the X-men franchise.

I can't say much without spoiling it so I won't, but that complaint is a nit picky one. The overall movie was fun, good performances... but it's still just a Marvel movie.

The line about stealing the artifacts by the dude who looks like big Nick cannnon had like a dozen women say **** like "yeah, that's right" or "oh yeah brother.". One proclaimed "sorry white girl" It looked like a Kwanza celebration. People wearing crownd and and all sorts of African garb. My date was nervous because this was a late showing in high point which is rather... Um... Not do safe. Regardless. Good movie. ****ty ending. The whole fate of the world depending on 5 ships that got no story line and a weak fight at the end. And rhinos. And some clandestine mountain folks? Psrts of the movie were incredible. But it was too Lion King meets 300. It was over macho-ized. Over done with the whole aggressive effect that made it feel cheesy. It was in line with Thor 2 and captain America 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Miner Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Poor Blade. No one remembers you had a trilogy before Black Panther was even a dream. Blade even defeated white people in every movie. People so white they couldn't tolerate sunlight. Unfortunately, Black Panther is the same superhero as Captain America, with a very similar story. Secret potion to make the character strong? Check. Vibranium for protection? Check. Military training to home fighting skills? Check. Having to defeat the bad guy with an almost identical skill set and weaponry to yours? Check. Only difference is Black Panther is a player and got the girl in the end.
