I'm curious, do you have a link? I'm wondering if they're combining traditional western comic books with Japanese manga...the latter traditionally has a much higher female readership than western superhero comics.

Here's a decent article with some breakdown.

The stat that jumps out at me is that the black comic-buyer population tracks pretty closely with the overall national percentage of the population. And statistically speaking you're more likely to bump into an African-American in a comic shop than on the street. I wonder what that number was a decade ago? The SJW inclusion/pandering/etc that so many people complain about is obviously working to get comic books into different markets.
We live in very different neighborhoods.Quote:

The male superhero audience is evenly balanced between the 13-29 and 30-54 age groups;
I find this statistic both hilarious and somewhat terrifying all at the same time
Do end credits technically count as part of the movie?
Technically, Avengers 1 ended with shwarma
Sine poena nulla lex.
It's also a larger range.

is that it? I really enjoyed comic collecting from about the age of 10 to 15. Then beer, football, and girls took over and I never set foot in a comic shop again until I cleaned out all my SW toys and comics from my parents house in 97 after graduating from A&M, and sold them to raise money for life on my lonesome.C@LAg said:it was also the hey day of comic collecting.Farmer1906 said:

Not knocking it, I just lost interest. In hindsight I wish I would have held on to that stuff another 10-15 years or so and made a killing.

thanks, appreciate the info.
lol. In 1997 I was pawning sh** to pay the credit card and bills and find the scratch to take my future wife out.
But I did do well in the late 90's tech stock boom. Ole'

It's must more accepted as normal to be a nerd now than it was in 97.
Should have tried it in 1978. Life was a veritable hell for me as a 6th grade nerd who loved all things Star Wars (and Battlestar Galactica ...)Quote:

They won the costume one.
Am I the only one who thinks Infinity War was infinitely better than Black Panther? The amount of buzz at the Oscars for BP is unreal.

Not in the slightest. BP was good, but I won't put it in my Marvel Top 5. It's not Best Picture worthy imo.
Almost everyone thought Infinity War was better than Black Panther.
It's actually right around my top 5 Marvel, but agreed it's not Best Picture quality. It's there based on cultural significance and I'm ok with that.AgMarauder04 said:yukmonkey said:

Though Spider-Verse should have been a Best Picture nominee.

It's probably 6-7 for me.
Though I'm thrilled to see Black Panther win for Production Design because the world design in that film was absolutely incredible.

Why is that OK? If it's not Best Picture quality, it shouldn't be nominated. "Cultural significance" shouldn't enter into it.fig96 said:It's actually right around my top 5 Marvel, but agreed it's not Best Picture quality.

Black Panther is right in the middle of the pack, but I love the character.
Ready for this conversation to quit popping up.
Because IMO it's a film that had a really big impact on the entire industry, not to mention culturally, and I thought it did some other really incredible things. There were some amazing visuals and incredible concept development of what an isolated technological world could look like, not to mention addressing some relevant social themes. I don't think it deserves to win, but I don't mind the nomination as it had a lot of aspects that I really loved.MooreTrucker said:Why is that OK?

You disagree and I can totally understand that perspective as well.
EDIT: And yeah, sorry, we've already been through this
Just go to any star wars thread
I've watched Dark Knight 20 times. Every time, I find a new level of symbolism that I'd never noticed before. I truly believe it was the best film of the 2000s.
The fact that it was not nominated for Best Picture but Black Panther (an average Marvel film) was nominated for the sake of "cultural significance" is reprehensible.
If anything, nominate Infinity War as a culmination of the impact that the Marvel Cinematic Universe has had on Hollywood's business model for creating cinematic universes. That's far more "culturally significant" than a black superhero.

So we can all finally agree that Blade > Black Panther.

A Black Panther win would be huge for Marvel, and further legitimizing the genre, so I hope it wins. Simple as that.
