      People asking if #blackpanther is good despite the racial representations are completely missing the point. It's an incredible film and its representations are an intrinsic part of it, not something that can be temporarily separated from the film as a whole.

      What this question is really asking is, "Would #BlackPanther still be a good movie if the cast was all white," and ignoring that that's a super gross question, it reinforces whiteness as the expected default for filmic heroes.

          Maybe some people just want to know if it has a good story and if it is well written. Possibly, maybe, perhaps.

          But they don’t ask that. That’s a fine question. They ask “is it good aside from the black cast” like that can’t be part of why it’s good.

          Only pandering SJWs such as yourself would ask such a question, creating racism out of whole cloth in the process.

          Who said anything about my feelings being hurt? I'm saying inventing questions that aren't being asked to push this narrative of white privilege is complete nonsense. That's it, you're inferring vitriol that I'm not remotely providing.

          I mean, the comic shares its name with an African American civil rights group (near as I can tell both independently named in 1966). You can't just remove the racial element of this particular comic.

          Anita, what if you can actually enjoy a movie regardless of the person being black or white? And maybe let's say... judge a movie on the quality of the acting instead?

          The quality of this movie is tied to the story which is tied to the Blackness of the film. The two are intertwined here.

          To the blackness of the movie.... tied to the story? Have you ever read a marvel comic? Because that didn't made any sense.... in the comic, blackpanther is actually white. But the thing i wanted to say is that everyone needs to stop being offended by flipping minor stuff.

          It also ignores that the setting wouldn't work if they were all White. Even if you did an equivalent situation, we've seen a shit ton of movies like that.

          It seems to me that question means "If this film wasn't a political statement, would it still be good?" and I think thats a fair question. Why do you feel your more cynical Interpretation is more realistic? The political climate around the film is quite obvious.

          The movie is about Blackness through the lease of Black people. Doesn’t even make sense if it’s cast with White actors. Loses all historical and meaningful context.

          Right, which he didn't know, not seeing the movie. Still... If you dribble movies down to not having any message, well, it was well-filmed for the main characters, had maybe too many tertiary characters, and although the fights included them well, were a bit chaotic because of.

          I felt the third Ironman movie had a similar problem when all the extra toyriffic suits and terrorists showed up. Each one has something identifiable, but gosh it was muddy including them all together like that. This managed to support its politics with less shoe-horning.

          I can get your point. I loved all of the characters, but the only one that counted to me was Killmonger. Without him that movie, to be honest was a 6 or 7 to me. With him....15 on a ten point scale.

          He is sooooooooo good. I didn’t understand until I saw the movie either. Dude will be THE reason I buy this movie when it comes out on DVD. Character is THAT compelling. He’s like Magneto for Black folk. And that’s as much as I will say, bc I’m afraid I’ve said too much lol.
