Do people not realize what this does for superhero movies?


This means that Joker (2019) and future prestige comic book films now have a legit chance of scoring nominations in top tier categories. The film is building upon what The Dark Knight and Logan had accomplished for an often mocked genre.

Except Black Panther is nowhere near on the same level as The Dark Knight or Logan, and its quality of filmmaking clearly had nothing to do with its nomination.

IMHO it's better than either.

But yeah, this is a huge step forward for the CBM genre - finally some respect!

Sure. But these Black Panther haters... be it incel klansman, trolls dedicated to slamming the MCU, film snob dickwads... just won’t hear of it. Even after Black Panther loses to a more academy-pleasing film (right now they have their pitchforks and torches but when another film they most likely didn’t care for takes the price for Best Picture, they’ll come here to gloat), these triggered roaches will continue to throw fits over all the acclaim this movie received.

That being said, open minded fans of comic films and reasonable people hear you.

This post is one of those Poe's laws cases - where you sincerely hope it's a troll, but because there are so many unbelievably stupid people out there, you just can't be sure.

I'm glad it's a mocked genre. It has taken over mainstream cinema and it's tiresome.

reply

It opens the door for even more mediocre films that make a lot of money and have expensive Oscar campaigns to win Academy Awards.

WHAT A BLESSING FOR YOU!

Slap in face to past CBM, award for diversity not quality

Movie awards are just the same weirdos in Hollywood blowing each other off. They are meaningless.

In recent years it's really felt like they are wanting to make that as obvious as possible. It really is a total joke at this point.
