It takes place in the fictional land of Wankanda, that’s where all the men are Wankers.

At least they did not turn another one of my favorites from a white guy to black, like they did with Nick Fury. I agree with you. Whenever I mention how I don't like how they changed the race of a fairly major character I get stares like I am some racist.

Probably true seeing this has become a SJW cause, for the same reason l won’t be seeing it.

I’m sure it’s inferior to my two fave blaxploitation flicks. “Meteor Man” and “Carwash”. “Soul Plane” was a real good time too. Gotta love Dogg Poop as the pilot smoking a blunt.

It will get the same audience as Shaft and Blackuka.

When Shaft came out, the now ex-wife and I were the only two white people in the theater. Not kidding.

Loved Shaft the TV show as a kid. Enjoyed the movie too. Really liked that they had Richard Roundtree in the movie.

Shaft was a good movie.

It’s a fraud. They are trying to create the “band wagon” effect..ie everyone is seeing it.

I think you're right. You see that technique used (well, attempted) more and more since things started "going viral." They try to morph an online buzz about something into real-world sales. The online "buzz" is becoming increasingly artificial....

pre-sales is a start. Enthusiasm is another.

haha....thanks ! I should have thought of pre-sales. I guess I’m old enough that you just bought a ticket when you actually went to the theater.......

All the Marvel films do pretty well at the box office. I expect this one will, too, though I won’t be seeing it. I liked several of the Marvel films, but am thoroughly burnt out on superhero movies now; and I have no interest in revisionist SJW/BLM crap.

Did they start predicting how many Oscar nominations this film will get yet?

I was scarcely aware that this character existed before Captain America: Civil War.

Black Panther has been in comics since the mid sixties. He's called Black Panther because he (at first) had a black panther as a sidekick.
