It's the "left leaning people are scared to be called racist, so they bend over backwards to not be called racist by taking any opportunity to show how not racist they are" argument. But maybe I'm being a little pedantic. A_Good_Boy posted... That would be a pretty believable argument if A Wrinkle in Time, another movie with a majority poc cast that came out around the same time as Black Panther, didn't get the ever loving shit kicked out of it at the box office and by critics. I think the list of people saying Black Panther wasn't a likable movie is relatively short. I liked Black Panther. Not as much as Avengers, Thor Ragnarok, Doctor Strange, Winter Soldier, etc. but I liked it. Though in also acknowledge that, being a white guy, the movie probably isn't going to carry the same weight that it would for black viewers. As for AWiT, you probably have a good point there. You can't polish a real turd much, even if the cast is various shades of brown. But that just seems like the flip side of them saying they aren't racist if they aren't nagging on other nominated movies with majority colored casts. Though I don't recall AWiT being treated like a significant cultural event in the way Black Panther was. The only retort I could imagine is that the critics wouldn't lie to say a bad movie was good, but they might embellish to say a good movie was award-winningly great. --- ... Copied to Clipboard! |
