BP is one of the best fighters in the Marvel universe. I doubt Blade can even take on Cap, meanwhile T'Challa can solo the Fantastic 4.


You remember that Squirrel Girl has defeated Thanos, right? And that The Punisher outsmarted and beat Daredevil, Spider Man and Wolverine working together? Black Panther, like any other comic character, can take on the XMen, Fantastic Four or The Avengers if the writer needs him to do that for plots sake. The Fantastic Four can stand toe to toe with Doctor Friggen Doom and heralds of Galactus.

If I were betting, my money would be on Blade, if he had something to even the odds against Black Panthers movie armor, which he doesnt even have (or didnt before anyway) in the comics.

Panther has always had that armor.

And Blade isn't as good a combatant as Panther, in canon.

It wasn't based around African-American/African culture.

Wait - do people think that Wakanda is a realistic portrayal of African culture?

Are you seriously asking this? Of course I don't lol

However, it's clearly inspired by various actual African cultures.

Being black wasn't at all essential to the character of Blade.


You do know that Blade in the comics was also black, right?

Which doesn't actually play a part in his story. He could be any nationality and the story would play out the same. It's not essential to his character like it is with BP, Storm, Luke Cage, etc.

Blade wasn't a blockbuster made by a major studio.


It was written by Goyer, distributed by New Line Cinema, released in the summer, and made over $100M worldwide. It was absolutely a blockbuster.

It cost $45 million to make. Not a blockbuster. New Line isn't a major studio.

Blade wasn't a blockbuster made by a major studio.
It didn't feature a majority black cast/crew.
It wasn't based around African-American/African culture.
Being black wasn't at all essential to the character of Blade.
We know hear more about how films with black leads/majority black casts don't make money and this one looks to seriously buck that line of thinking.
Social Media is a thing now.

Those are the reasons.

This is an article from NYTimes MAGAZINE - which is a weekly insert about various cultural events in the Sunday edition of the NY Times. It's a fucking entertainment article about cultural issues and events. The article is penned by a black writer - who feels that Black Panther is one of the few movies that gives a positive representation of black African culture. Blade and Catwoman don't deal with African culture. SO what the fuck is the problem?


It's stupid. Black Culture is White Culture is Brown Culture is Yellow Culture. We are all American. Blacks may not want to be American but, at the end of the day they fucking are. This movie is basically fueling the race war Blacks want to have. Listen: The Civil Rights era ended decades ago and y'know what Blacks have it good these days! :P So you people can just shut up and stop circle jerking this movie ^_^7

So much wrong here that it's actually kind of impressive.

Yeah his healing factor is so ridiculous in some fights that actually fought Galactus. Granted he didn't win, but he went toe to toe with a dude that eats fucking planets! Lol

This is silly. Magneto liquefied and drew the adamantium from his bones, and proved to be more than a match for Wolverine. Galactus could literally will his atoms into dissolution, or transmute him into a chair, or revert him to a toddler, shunt him through time, any feat of telepathy Xavier could do Galactus could do with ease. What's even the point of 'fighting' something like that when it's painfully obvious it's barely even playing with you? And from the perspective of the comic fan who has to put up with this wankery, where is the narrative tension?

They didn't actually fight.

Please, bruh. This is a comic book movie, not the Civil Rights Act of 1965.

No one is equating it to the Civil RIghts Acts. Except for strawman liars like yourself.

And the NY Times, you mean.

Did you read the article or just the title and make assumptions?

Pretty sure it's only entrapment if the FBI coerces him to do something he otherwise wouldn't. If he's the one looking for a seller and buying it for the purpose of committing a shooting then that's still all on him.

You said "leading him down a restricted path." In other words, making it easier for him to commit said crime/enticing him to do so.

And, again, this is no more than heresay and they get reports like this all the time. Expecting them to react to everyone isn't realistic.

It's kind of an odd scenario. Let's say the FBI does successfully ID potential mass shooters, what do we do with them then?


What about sending local police over to attempt some sort of communication on the matter to the person or the parents. Obviously, we shouldn't subvert due process or the 4th amendment in any way, but what about the police simply making an attempt at discussing the matter?

waste of resources/manpower. There are quite a few reports like this that go to the FBI/police and most, thankfully, don't turn out to be anything. Sending agents/officers out to each one of these isn't feasible.

Guide them along a restricted path where the FBI sets up an arms deal with the suspect potential shooter and allow them to incriminate themselves and toss their ass in jail before they can hurt anyone for real?

So, entrapment?

Ben Shapiro is not racist .

But its weird like the same thing happened with Wonder Woman where people pretended that there wasnt ever a movie with a strong female lead. Same shit is happening now with Black Panther...

The movie will be underrated by racist and overrated by racist. It is what it is

How are people who are happy with the film racists?
