No it's not offensive because its a self-aware parody. It's not meant to be taken seriously or endorsed as appropriate behavior. That's why the other actor continues to call him out on it.

Um, that's a lie lol They've NEVER showed anyone in the MU as racist towards Wakanda. In fact, the U.N. often tries to approach them and, again, the Avengers have had him as a member/leader for years.

Additionally, T'challa is even smarter than Tony, in universe. There's no measure that BP was below Ironman prior to the films. Just stop while you're behind.

Lol no, he hasn't actually. No more so than Black Panther, that is. He didn't get a push in the comics until his film was a hit. In fact, the Avengers as a whole weren't very important overall. Marvel was all about the X-Men and Spidey up until the MCU became a thing.

I never understood why people are so fascinated with film revenues.

I normally don't care but I don';t want Marvel to obsess over Black Panther cause of this movie's ticket sales. I am worried that Black Panther is going to become the main character of the MCU and get over exposed in the comics. he's not a bad guy, but he doesn't need to be Marvel's Batman. I don't want everything to turn into a Black Panther story.


Isn't this basically what they've done with Iron Man? I'm not really familiar with the comics but by my understanding IM wasn't a major character until the movies and comic civil war. With RDJ likely moving on soon and Evans not wanting to stick around much longer either BP seems as good a choice as any to lead in phase 4.

Yes, it is. Apparently that's ok, though. Wonder what the difference is?

The point is that a white director could do the job and include all the important African culture stuff in the same way that white professors and historians can write and teach African culture and black history

How many white directors do you think have dedicated themselves to the study of African & African-Americans like the professors you mentioned?

Hell even in that example, you do know that there's a different perspective for a white person teaching those things as opposed to a black professor, right? It's not the same thing (not saying one is better/worse but there is a difference.)

I seriously doubt that there are white directors out there that can understand the black diaspora like Coogler (or another black person) does. Now could it happen? Of course. Is it very likely to happen? Nope.

Jeezus...executive producers, writers, directors and actors have all said that there's a myth in Hollywood that films about black people don't sell. They've stated that there is an assumption that a black director can only do movies about the hood, gangs or slavery. This isn't something folks who aren't in the industry are saying. This comes from people who are actually in Hollywood. But it doesn't just stop there. Black authors face the same issues. Assuming it comes from a lack of talent availibility is bs.

There are many important parts involved when making a big budget Hollywood movie. Writers, producers, editors, camera men.... do they need to be black too?

Writers, yeah (or at least, a majority, which is what the first BP has.) The others don't really make decisions like that and tend to go with what the director wants. Producers give input but the MCU is pretty good about not getting too overly involved like WB.

It's like a sizable portion of black Americans just can't enjoy their rise in status without hurling a "fuck white people" at every chance they get.

Then they wonder why whites get defensive.


Because yall have been saying fuck black people since the 1800s


Or, and here's a new thought. You can get over something that happened 200 years ago that neither me or you were part of, and then we all move forward as Americans.


When did racism end if you don't mind telling me.

He's partially correct. BP didn't really get acclaim until Priest's run (a black writer) and it's the run that the film is most heavily influenced by.

Nobody watching the movie now gives a shit about that. Well, this is the internet, let me rephrase. The majority of people watching the movie doesnt give a shit about that.

If you think his writing or whatever is the full reason, hell, if you think its even half the reason why black panther is successful then I have some news for you.

Well it is, considering that a lot of the praise comes from the script/themes in the film. If you don't think that then I have to wonder what you've been seeing to give you that impression?
