I'm so confused at this point. Either way, someone not wanting to see the movie because of that sentiment is one of the dumbest things I've ever heard.

My favorite argument is that the movie is racist because it's named after the Black Panther organanization.
Never mind that Black Panther had been a comic book before the group had formed.
The moral of the story is don't listen to idiots on either side; this looks like a badass movie.

I've yet to hear that argument, but, yes, it's dumb.

Yuge. The Disney machine is at work.
Its funny, I think this is the first Marvel movie I'm not seeing on opening night in quite a while because I'm on call. Stupid sick people
I was just coming to ask if we could gush about how amazing the red carpet was. It was beautiful.
Everyone was perfect. I saw the WaPo fashion critic throwing shade and was having none of it. Freaking awesome red carpet. It would be so cool if more movies had the premiere dress be in theme with the movie.

This cast in particular goes above and beyond anything I've seen. They threw a Coming to America themed party. I really hope there is a special feature dedicated to that party on the Blu Ray.

Shhhh... this is the first movie for black people!
(First action blockbuster. No one said anything about "first movie.")
I care to disagree. Did you not see Black Dynamite. It was perfect.TCTTS said:

Also that album cover is legit.
Why doesn't he just say "black?"
b/c some whites might identify as urban and we can't offend anyone, remember. There's a healthy urban population among some Asians, too.AgMarauder04 said:

/tongue in cheek
He's making fun of the industry. The term "urban audience" has always been used instead of "black audience." It's so dumb.
Luckily this movie is, first and foremost, a comic book movie
That's a really cool album cover, like how minimalistic it is

Here are the rest of the best opening weekends in superhero movie history.
1. The Avengers - $207,438,708
2. Avengers: Age of Ultron - $191,271,109
3. Captain America: Civil War (Black Panther's first appearance in the MCU) - $179,139,142
4. Iron Man 3 - $174,144,585
5. Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice - $166,007,347
I could see this potentially eclipsing Civil War's $179M. Heck, part of me thinks there's such an x-factor that it could even beat Age of Ultron, but I'm not ready to go there quite yet.
it could also be a big flop. If the movie is actually good, then it very well could broach the top 3. Need a LOT of repeat viewings to do that.TCTTS said:Quote:

It's pretty much guaranteed to not be a flop at this point considering opening weekend projections and early buzz.PatAg said:it could also be a big flop. If the movie is actually good, then it very well could broach the top 3. Need a LOT of repeat viewings to do that.TCTTS said:Quote:

Posting Tweets is not what you should give a rest, but I'm sure you know that. There are half a dozen boards that are nothing but trolling and antagonizing. This isn't one of them.

Remember kids a black man can play up a stereotypical white Jew with the proper amount of whiteface, but a white man can't play a black man in blackface.

And for the record, that was some funny sh**.
if a man wants to call himself Muhammed Ali, than *********it, this is America.......
No way on Shaft/Pootie Tang. MAYBE Bad Boys, but I'm talking more of a proper blockbuster with heavy special effects, heavy action, mythology, a prominently black cast, etc. None of the above fit that criteria.Cibalo said:how quickly we forget about Shaft, Bad Boys, and Pootie TangTCTTS said:
