Did "Black Panther" demonize black americans?

[Marco Zen]

Late but.....

For full disclosure..

I loved black panther...

Great movie on so many levels...

Damn near flawless.

But..

This three second gif was doper than most of the action sequences in black panther.


Somebody had to say it.



It being Ryan cooglers first action movie he gets a pass on that. he'll get better

This guy basically says yes, and will cause Africans to distance themselves even more from us. He has an African background, but raised in the states, so I think he makes a good point

Meh...

We cant say we didnt see this coming, brehs Everything must be a controversy. Everything can somehow argued to be bad for the black communiTY.

I’ll sub to this thread until i see the movie before i form an opinion. But i feel like for a fictional character this movie is tearing people apart.
God, I hate people

in his defense the Russo's are basically the goat when it comes to fight scenes. They're directing infinity war too so you know the combat in gonna be crazy.

Good grief has any of you even read the comics?

Thanos is coming fools, we ain't got time for this shyt. We need to get ready for what's ahead and Killmongers plan would have doomed us all

no shade, but i'm starting to think the reason why some posters refuse to look past their for killmonger is because they are too weak or lack the discipline or resolve to be him (minus the unapologetic murder of his own people), so they project their fantasies onto a character as an avatar of some of their desires

there is no reason to be so nonobjective about a movie character ... who most of us are a big fan of, especially if you are of african descent, even more so if you are in the united states

you can agree with his overall ideology about challenging white supremacy while still acknowledging his flaws and personal rationalization of his acts

edit: also, regarding the tweets in OP ... anyone that is familiar with ryan coogler's background and past work is crazy if they think he would purposely tell a story without his people's interest in mind, its an interesting perspective tho

Says “no shade” then proceeds to post a bunch of bytchmade passive aggressive ad hominems addresses to no one in particular.

The shyt wak00ndans did in the movie is what African govts are doing right now

What was killmonger’s plan as described in the movie?

 

[Texas2step]

For the ppl criticizing the movie, what would have been a better solution? all I'm hearing is critiques but no one is suggesting what should have happened instead or what could have been done differently

man shut the fukk up bytch

 

[truth2you]

Black Americans have been demonized for hundreds of years, doubtful a movie that was released this weekend would do it.....

Get mad at BP, but give Love and Hip Hop, Black Ink Crew, Housewives, and reality c00nery TV a pass folks...

But, Africans/blacks all over the world(even latins) are emulating those shows, so they can't be that demonizing

 

[truth2you]

So why would a movie written and directed by Black Americans demonize Black Americans?

That's true, but I doubt he had exclusive creative control, I bet there were parts that they made him change.

Anyway, this is just a discussion, some people are losing their damn minds

I question term African Americans. If you knew the name America came from, you wouldn't use it.
