So this is Disney applying the same strategy that Sony tried with Fembusters (using identity politics to shame and guilt people into buying their product), only this time it actually worked?

Sigh. Thought I am looking forward to the international numbers, I'm sure the Chinese will throw money at this celebration of POC identity.
 
Ain't it great that, so far, the tweets from the tards are about 5:1 White:Black?

Once again, "Guilty White people" on the march.
 
Wait till everyone realises that for Wakanda to be that advanced, they had to isolate themselves from the outside world almost as if they had a wall between it and its neighbours XD

Which has been in development hell for years. It's not the worst concept I've heard of (and certainly fits with the pulp tone of the comics and movie). I'm just afraid it'll be generic superhero tripe (or worse, LOOK HOW PROGRESSIVE WE ARE!) and not a solid adventure movie.

It's kinda insulting when their go-to default for 'diversity' is 'make X a black woman'. Why not make the new Rocketeer a Native American? There were lots of them serving during WW2, after all...

Also, I nominate this for movie night

Earlier today @Graffiti canvas posted a thread in the Multimedia forum about how movie review site Rotten Tomatoes was planning on combating "hate speech" in the reviews targeted toward Marvel's upcoming superhero film Black Panther. At the time, Black Panther maintained a 100% rating.

74 reviews came in, all positive ("fresh"), before someone dared to cast the first stone with number 75. That person was not Cole Smithy but rather Ed Power, who writes for the Irish Independent. In his review, Ed states that the film is "expected to stand for something bigger than itself", and laments that for being a superhero movie Black Panther (the character) doesn't get to do very many superhero things. He praised the production quality of the film, scored it a modest 3/5, and chose it to be "rotten". Basically, he called a spade a spade. He will surely not be the only critic to give the movie a negative review.

But that's all that needed to be done to open the floodgates. Immediately social media lit up with people decrying Ed Power as a "racist" and all the other usual terms, and now here we are with the same old song and dance we saw with Lady Bird's RT score except with racial undertones.

Remember Hancock? That was a superhero movie with the lead super being a black guy but nobody cares I guess.

Only the trailer and first 30 minutes was a superhero movie. He was actually an angel or some shit, Hancock had more in common with City of Angels than Iron Man.

Yeah and a Chinese person wrote it IIRC. It also has the distinction of being a terrible movie. They played it on tv a few years ago and it was a completely disjointed and horrendous experience.

>DC fanboys bitch and moan about the consistently low scores their films receive and claim RT is rigged and critics are paid off by Disney
>Everyone (rightly) makes fun of them for this
>A single person gives a mildly negative review of a Marvel popcorn flick
> "WAAHHHH BLACK PANTHER ISN'T GETTING STATISTICALLY IMPOSSIBLE UNIVERSAL PRAISE THIS IS A TRAVESTY FUCK THOSE POTATO EATING MICKS"

You know you've fucked up when you start looking more exceptional than DC spergs.
 
Superhero movies are cash-grabs aimed at children and dumb people. They originally caught on because it was easy to storyboard them for financiers and CGI made cranking movies out cheap. Now it's just a straight-up cash grab with the marketing and branding and general audiences are starting to get bored. So now we get this. Studios guilting people virally on social media into supporting their crappy movie. That's a viable tactic now. Great.

Faggots in Spandex fight Dr. Badguy Part XIII: Team Faggot Re-Re-Awakens is going to be terrible because they are all terrible. Nobody is going to be talking about these comic book movies in 30 years except to say that the entire genre sucks gigantic balls. Once the shine wears off we are going to look back and see that this is a genre (or era, really) in film that is best forgotten.

One of these was a bad remake of a good franchise that would have been better had the third film that had been in production hell forever come into fruition, and marketed exactly as it sounded; Not Ghostbusters With tits, and SJWs flocked to it. The other is a new installment in a successful universe, and markets itself more as a fun movie for everyone, rather than “Look! A BLACK superhero!” The SJWs were the ones who blew it out of proportion.
Then again, I’m an MCU/Disney fan, so what do I know?
