OPINION Is Marvel's Black Panther movie really a "special moment" for Black America??

[Sony Montana]

Niggas probably having black lightning watch parties lol

 

[AP2.5]

Doubt it from a international standpoint..black movies don't do well overseas

I've already laid it out earlier.

The comparison is between two toxic entities int he Black communities. It looks like it wouldn't matter to you if it's a nigga that sets up shop peddling fucked up mortgages to Black folks, a nigga that opens up a payday loan spot, or some shit like that. As far as you're concerned "he giving Black folks jobs" and that's all that matters, to hell with the negative effects on the community that those people are directly responsible for.

TP's portrayal of Black folks, particularly Black men, has been detrimental to the perception of Black men by those that consume the media he creates. But it's all good as far as you're concerned because he's giving Black folks jobs...

So giving a young black person fresh out of school a audio job working at his studio=peddling drugs? That’s a false equivalency and how is TP’s portrayal of black men detrimental to the perception of black men? You still haven’t answered that question.

I hope so...but doubt it.

By looks from the record this movie broke from just advanced tickets alone...BP could Marvel's highest grossing movie.

Because the black dollars are going to push it. This movie will gross more than Deadpool.

my only criticism of TP is that he should expand his range of films. He can still do the niche stuff, but dude turned a damn stage play into an entire universe of films and tv shows...that shit aint just happening everyday

Ehhh I mean I doubt this beats avengers, but it doesn't have to

Re: birth of a nation

I saw the movie and enjoyed it

my only gripe was that it was only a fraction of the shit that happened, but if he funded it by himself along with help from others, i understand why it couldnt be longer before it got into "ok, this movie long af" territory.

Alex Cross was played by Morgan Freeman in other movies in that universe (along came a spider and kiss the girls...i think those are the only two, but both are good af)

the actual Alex Cross movie i thought was a prequel OR Freeman no longer had the desire to play the part.

I didn't see none of those shits but thanks man

you missing out

they are really good films

but you were probably in pre k or some shit when they came out so...yea

 

[Chi-Town B]

Morgan Freeman is old as fuck so I can see him not wanting to do that anymore

 

[Duwop]

@King Du, were you this outraged when Luke Cage came on Netflix?

did you have this same energy?

If Marvel was out here making BP look like some coon, ya'll would have EVERY leg to stand on. If the movie was being directed by a white man, ya'll would have every leg to stand on, but ya are killing me trying to downplay the significance of having an all black cast for this movie.

so people can take off from work to stand in line for Star wars, and people chalk it off to some geek shit, but Oh, let them do it for BP, then its "man ya'll niggas sleep"...which is it??

Why you @ me to a weak argument.

Luke cage was a everyday man doing shit in his black community. Completely different character and completely relatable... Same with black lightning....

BP is more popular than both....

 

[Duwop]

Also taking off work for star wars is equal in the " it's not that important" argument as taking off work for bp

 

[Duwop]

I actually read a bunch of Alex Cross books.

Good books... Written by a white dude, but Alex was a pretty authentic black dude.

 

[JUDAH]

On the note of the buzz this movie is receiving, if yall are going to see in t in theaters the day it drops keep yall head on a swivel in these theaters....

For real
