Theres also Creed and Fruitvale Stations great reception and the fact that the director and star of that team up again for this. I'm hearing good things too now but have just seen some of the imdb user reviews.... Can't say I'm surprised. Film is being downvoted by racists.
Apparently everyone likes him in this (comparisons to Loki), he's a great actor so I'm not surprised. I'm guessing this will be his prime role, if as you say,, he doesn't die....
Yeah it's no surprise, they did a similar thing with "Dear White People" too, snowflakes eh?
If you're interested in the geeky side of this stuff, you'll find BP and Batman often paired in a 'who would win' DC vs. Marvel on sites where people discuss that kind of thing because of how they pair off in terms of wealth, tactics, tech, fighting ability, non-use of guns etc. and mindset.
Fair enough, I'll have to agree to disagree there. I'm referring partly to the fame, but also to the striking similarities between the two. They share more in common than Black Panther/Iron Man. Batman vs Iron Man is also done to death in the who would win fights and I hear so many people comparing Iron Man to Batman as heroes and quick Google searches often cite a few Black Panther references but mostly Iron Man. To the Hulkbuster armour to the Batman Mech suit. You can draw parralels with other heroes, but Iron Man looks almost certainly intended to draw inspiration from Batman who was printed 30 years earlier. From the origins, to the similarity between Tony Stark and Bruce Wayne personas and the other similarities that I listed earler with their corporations, fathers, sidekicks, wealth and lack of super powers, making a technological solution to every problem, always having a plan to outsmart the opponent. Black Panther only really shares a similar looking suit and color pallette to Batman alongside the technology which Iron Man also uses, and martial arts. Plus Black Panther's origin story is unique and doesn't really share any correlation with Batman's where as Iron Man's is almost identical.
Got to listen to Steve, he has 17 Twitter followers!
*cries*
I think its safe to assume that Fantastic 4 will be recast and rebooted.
To be fair, I think lots of the ire against that movie was the fact that Huge swathes of black people didn't even realise that it was satire.
I was talking about the TV Show, not the movie - at the time the movie was indie (from Sundance I believe) that made it to the big screens in America and only a select cinemas in the UK, it didn't have any where near the impact or audience to even garner a social media response.
Read my whole post again. Its not that hard
Because he's cool as feck.
Sure but what's he got on this guy?
If you've seen it its quite clearly satire, that goes for both. Unless you you think black people are a bit dense...
The film itself is bad tho, I'm guessing that's what they were talking about? I'd actually add the 2nd Thor to that list too. I have no urge to watch either again and that's telling, for me.
Easy there.
Let's be honest, the kind of people that didn't realise it was satire are exactly the same kind of people that post on The Donald.
Correct. A movie can be a hit in box office but still bomb critically. I think MCU has a few duds but that really is few.
Agreed, I think hes a great actor. Still funny that hes the lil dude from Wire.
Would be kinda a shame cos I thought the cast was actually... fantastic. The script let them down.
For sure. I think they would have done well in a Marvel Studios fronted film.
You're suggesting there was large swathes of black people who were looking forward to DWP being some racist depiction?
Wasn't digging you out, just unaware of what you say. I never saw any of that, where did you see it?
Yea, the wire was full of great actors. Even the non actors that literally had zero experience played their roles well. I think it'll be time for another viewing soon its can a while
If true, a sad indictment on modern society.
Fixed
Girls Trip surprised people last year, as well. As if representation isn't important and can lead to commercial success. But you need a white lead to be commercially succesful or something (Scarlett Johansson, Ghost in the Shell).
Guessing you mean as a stand alone lead but black superheroes, Falcon, Warmachine are in the Marvel films. If you’re including tv shows then Luke Cage and Black Lightening. But if you mean lead in a film then yeah Blade is really the only one I can think of. Deadshot is kinda a lead character in suicide squad.
Me thinks it will push near the $200m mark...
Dear White People was bloomin' excellent too... more people need to watch it.
You don't believe that there was a whole demographic of people (not a RACE of people) that didn't realise that DWP was taking the piss out of white and black people very even handedly?
See, now I'm confused.
