Marvel's Black Panther

White people aren't used to being anything short of adored in popular culture. So when even the smallest criticism of them appears, you hear things like "war on white people," "stop calling us devils," minorities are "ungrateful," etc.

Sit down

I guess Z has given up, but maybe we can do everybody a favor and take it to the politics forum. I posted this ITOT (and I paraphrase it there). It is a conservative publication that has a pretty good view on all this:

Some political messaging throughout mixed with little jabs at the blue eyed devil.

I liked the first part of the post. Why the op-ed on race? Why even go there? I just don't understand some of you guys. Really, quite frankly you need to grow up. There are other people in this World.

The Civil War happened, slavery happened. Time happened. Move on. You don't have to forget. But, you don't owe anyone anything, other than to honor the past and use it to learn and teach from.

I just don't understand where all this butthurt came from. Is it really because we elected a black President? Is it really that bad to think that another person, whom happens to be not like us could possibly be not only 100% qualified - but, is not like the cultural norms that your forbears insituted and fostered for generations? is it possible that people of color have much more to offer culturally to us? That we as a nation stand to learn from them, and them from us? That tyoe of love and respect for one another is whar it will take to rid the Country of this divisiveness.

I really don't understand the hate for someone with an opposing viewpoint. The left wingers pander to the black community? Sad. Maybe we should all follow our venerable leader and be a pompous self absorbed prick to high tails it to vacation when going gets tough, right? Cause that 'blue eyed' ********** is so much more fit for the job?

SMH..this post is filled with ironic irony.

Would it result in you having to ban yourself? If so, please say more.

Watch the movie. Get back to me. I don't think my analysis is unfair or untrue. Calling this a masterpiece (which several top critics have used that very word) is pandering. It just is. Doesn't mean it is a bad movie. Doesn't mean I love the KKK. Doesn't mean I hate successful black people or whatever other scatter brained drivel you posted.

Yep.

Or, it's an opinion, one that you happen to disagree with. It just is.

If it is really a masterpiece it should win Oscars. Let's come back to this discussion next year shall we? I'm betting it takes home approximately zilch. Not a masterpiece by any stretch.

That's a pretty terrible gauge considering some of the movies that have won Oscars.

I mean do you consider The Shawshank Redemption a masterpiece? Because it won zero Oscars, yet is considered one of the best movies ever made.

Is "masterpiece = Oscar winner" a dictionary definition, or is it your personal definition that you just made up?

Had to be made up; because I will fight anyone who says The Shawshank Redemption isn't a masterpiece.

Do you think it's a masterpiece?

 

[n_huffhines]

Do you think it's a masterpiece?

For its genre, probably. Dark Knight is the only superhero movie I would say is unequivocally better.

Movies from this genre don't really win Oscars and are rarely nominated.

Lol it’s already made more money domestically than Justice League.
