Marvel Black Panther film

[Gandalf]

I can't be bothered with these films. There are too many of these comic book/superhero films now and I don't see the point in them. Once you start making films about an Iron Man, I am lost. Superman is the most interesting one for me, but I think the recent films have been poor and so I cannot bear to watch them and will avoid any new ones. Christopher Reeve was Superman. He was so perfect in the role and those first 3 films are always good on repeat. I never get bored of them. Zod is probably my biggest role model. He hates everyone, has wonderful diction, and is completely bored on a very mediocre planet full of bleating sheep. I really love the way Reeve plays Superman and Kent. I am waffling, but I will never watch that Black Panther film, it sounds corny. Another thing I hate is how they try to politicise films. Who needs an all female Ghostbusters? What is the point of these things. Again, I refuse to watch any of these films. Why do you need to watch any of them when you have the original Ghostbusters or Superman? When you have perfection, you don't try to remake it again. Badly. Just leave well alone.

Black Panther was a very good movie in it's own right.

The characters were strong and you could relate with and want to follow, even the black American was the bad guy. Kill Monger could have had his own film with the story he told.

There was no need to feel angry as you did with the last Tarzan film which was bad for all the reasons you stated about this film.

The way I see it, despite the advancement Wakanda still had to protect itself from the outside world and therefore had to be insular. Therefore it kept it's traditions and cuilture.

The fight scenes had to be age appropriate and they were fighting their friends so had to hold back to some extent.

I think the film was done as well as it could be and was directed and starred by a black cast who tried to respect and not fall into the traps that you state.

I thought it showed me what may have happened if the country had not been colonised and their resources taken away without their say.

In short, X you are entitled to your opinion, even if it is wrong.

How hateful of them to not allow in starving refugees fleeing for their lives from hateful dictators nearby. Also "Had to be insular" and "kept it's traditions and culture".....so you're saying that the Wakandans are very much in the camp of Make Wakanda Great Again Interesting lol.

If Wakanda was as shown in the movie then I am fairly certain they would have expanded their empire across the continent. Yeah they had "Vibranium" but you have to figure that in mining vibranium they'd need other resources and refining vibranium or separating it from other rocks and minerals would lead to the Wakandans needing more metals, more power, more man power, etc. Also if they are NOT selling the vibranium or developing the vibranium for trade then there's 0 point to mining it unless it's busy work and the workers aren't paid! Also uncontacted tribes of people like The Sentinelese people of North Sentinel Island ain't exactly the type that I'd expect to be wizzing around in flying spaceship cars but hey film can make us dream and that is fine.


My suspension of disbelief is working overtime trying not to rain on the whole "Er muh gerd Black Panther is the greatest ever!!!!" parade but it is very difficult.

You make valid points which is actually at the heart of the film. They had all these resouces which they kept to themselves and did not share it which allowed many deaths and famines.

I liked it, lets remember at the end of the day it's a movie, and that movie is based around a comic book. Take it as you will.
