Not enough girl-on-girl action (like in the comic book)


No LGBT representation! I guess this counts a negative review.

Black Panther’s screenwriter has opened up about the lesbian romance which was cut from the film.

When the film was announced, fans were excited by the prospect of Okoye and Ayo, two of the title character’s bodyguards, getting together as Ayo and fellow female warrior Aneka do in the comics. 

Roxane Gay, who co-wrote the Black Panther comic book series World of Wakanda, was not invited to the Marvel film’s Los Angeles premiere.

On Twitter, she said: “My feelings are real hurt that I didn’t get an invite to the Black Panther premiere. I mean goddamn Marvel. Goddamn.”
