The only people who see every issue as being about skin color are the ones always pointing it out

I'm starting to grow really tired of all the rah-rah-rah about this chapter in the MCU having a mostly all-black cast. Why does that matter?

It really doesn't matter. The problem is that many people are really sick of the constant "too many white people in the cast" "lack of diversity" "not diverse enough" stuff last years. And now happens that Disney, the big hero of diversity in Hollywood... makes a only-black-people movie.

So at the end of the day, diversity was a big lie. That's the problem. The rejection of this movie is just the symptom of people getting sick of diversity.

“The only people”... Yeah right

“Get a grip”

Tell that to everyone making the same tired threads about how the film itself is spreading “PC messages” and has some sort of agenda against white people. Am I making shit up? No, please, take a look around this board and check for yourself (look up the anti-Black Panther campaigns elsewhere while you’re at it).

The so-called race baiting by critics (many black themselves) who are highlighting the importance of Black Panther have made super valid points over this film’s significance. First off, u know the campaign that was started to help less fortunate black kids (it has been incredible successful) see Black Panther? Does it bother you? How about all the black celebrities and fans showing up to the film’s premiere wearing African attires? Are they race baiting as well? Or are they showing... pride? (And for a good reason.) Is it simply white liberals that are “touting” this film as something special? Hmm. Yes, you are annoyed by something you remain ignorant about or don’t want to hear anything of. This film, much to the dismay of certain critics (cough *far righters* cough), does make a political statement that’s worth discussing, albeit not in the way critics like you pretend it does.

And look, no one is forgetting Blade. But to be fair, did Blade appeal to people of all ages? Not quite. Were the Blade films made on a massive scale like this and featured mostly black actors? Negative. Were the Blade films that great to begin with? Love ‘em but that’s debatable. Black Panther (Marvel Comics’ FIRST black hero) comes from a different world. Unlike Blade, he is African born, his film and his world, unapologetically celebrates African culture— and based on so many reviews, the film presents this image in a positive way. When has that happened in a blockbuster? Much less in one that resonates with people? The fact Black Panther is a part of such a huge franchise is another major reason why critics - and AUDIENCES - are agreeing that the film is more than just another MCU/superhero film; yes, its quality factors into this, too.

You don’t wanna hear it, but the film’s themes and cast ARE a big deal. BP may not be the first film featuring a black superhero, but let me reiterate: nothing like this has ever been made before. Not in this way. Why should his race & culture matter? Because it DOES... in a powerful way... and evidently it means a lot to so many black people. The film being hailed as a great piece of cinema only further justifies all this “rah-rah” you’re sick of. In any event, amusing how you called out LA+New York. Only critics from two of the bluest cities in the country are speaking this? Really? Would you like me to share some links from critics reviews from all over the country echoing the same sentiments from those in LA+New York? I’ll save you the embarrassment. Btw if any of them feel like we’re living in the 50’s again, we’ll, I would say they have some legitimate reasons. Could it be the rise of white supremacists and a dear leader who opened the door for them? The aforementioned anti-Black Panther campaign that was created several weeks ago? (“Ironically” the first for a Marvel film.) Gee, I wonder why a film of this magnitude is considered important...
