Is this a movie?

Judging by internet comments you would think that America is having a civil war over this movie... it's absurd... Everyone is pre-triggered on both sides and they haven't even seen the movie... Really?!

Denzel, Jordan, Ali, MLK, etc... Iconic actors, atheletes and activists have been part of American pop culture for a long time... How young are these posters?!

I'm also not an American... This media storm they are living in is very strange... A lot of pain in their posts, before even seeing the movie... Probably moreso than the fanboy crying after The Last Jedi was released.... The thing is, this isn't fanboy pain, but their real pain that they are projecting onto this movie, as if it is some important step for Black people in America (Really?!), to acting like it's a race war to erase whites (Really?!)... Can you guys just hug it out? Or get overyourselves? 😉

I think partly it echos the election last year, with the stats discussion and everyone feeling that it is an existential crisis... Except that people seem to be putting more of an effort into these discussions 🤣

It's embarrassing and kind of makes one yearn for the inane flame wars between Marvel and DC fanboys... Not realising that most people can't tell the difference between those two brands, if they even recognise them at all... It's all spandex to the rest of us 😂

I watch one comicbook/kids movie in cinema a year... Last year was Star Wars, the year before was Batman Vs Superman... This year will probably be Black Panther in a week or two... I didn't care about any of them, some are fun, some suck, most are in between...

Star Wars sucked as a movie, Batman Vs Superman was tedious at times, but it had some nice touches and imagery... I liked the whole Superman as a God mythology, very nicely done... But yeah, just an ok movie...👍

I think Black Panther will be interesting if they have given the director a lot of leeway to do his thing, he's good... But it's still just a comicbook movie... the same way Get Out is still just a horror-comedy... People need to get over themselves and stop being so post modern... be direct and go and protest, or build in the real world, instead of crying about trivialities in kids movies as if they matter to real life..😘

I think (hope?) in 6 weeks, all of this will die down and people will start discussing the movie for what it actually is... Just another toy movie for kids 😘😉😎

There will be a period of post-game analysis, not of the movie, but rather the "scores"... at the box office and various review sites like Rotten Tomatoes, IMDB, etc... In fact, I think that's it... This whole thing is just a sepctator sport for these guys... Red Sox Vs. Yankees... The tribalism, the stats nerding, the antagonistic trash talking... It all makes sense now! 😁

It's most likely the same shit for mass-consumption Marvel has been shitting out since Iron Man. If you liked the rest of it, you'll probably like this one. Only difference is the race hype surrounding it, but I highly doubt it has anything meaningful to say about race, race relations, racism or anything like that. It's nothing more than a marketing strategy.
