You know...I know so very little about the history of Africa. And it doesn't seem like the movie is going to address any of it, other than to tell us non-African folk what we don't know. Including how they had space ships and shit. And terrible computer graphics. And an African warrior who was named "Black Panther"
Okay, aren't all Panther's black? Also...not every fucking culture knows karate/kung fu/martial arts. And it seems this dude does wire work like a Hong Kong movie. Whatever. The trailer looks like total turd. NOT because it's a self-proclaimed "Black superhero movie" but because it REALLY looks like shitty digital. Plastic and fake. And personally, it doesn't do the topic justice. Serious filmmakers use serious film. This looks like a cheap I mean REALLY cheap camera with a low-rent visual FX house. Sorry...the American Black people may start to sharpen their knives or not. Black folk...they are much more supportive of ANY endeavor over White folk. They don't necessarily dog a guy for trying (unless it's a gang). But there is a lot of personal love put into it. Which, I'll probably be the asshole for mentioning this...Africans HATE American Blacks. It's like calling someone from Barcelona a Mexican. Seriously. They fully embrace education as the very first thing to focus on. Many are Asian nuts when it comes to studying. A lot are doctors. And yet...here we are with American Blacks embracing it like it was their culture. We'll most likely hear about that soon.
"Black Panther" looks like typical Marvel garbage I hate. Perhaps, there is a level of forgiveness people will have similar to "Wonder Woman." Not really a mold being broken but an acceptance of the new norm. Obviously, as a Disney machine, it will do well. Like a "Doctor Strange. Who the fuck are these Marvel people anyway? God, I miss the old days when all you had to do is track maybe five characters. This nerd explosion keeps getting more and more foggy to me.
