Did BP2 get outshined by Woman King and Avatar 2???

[KidJSoul]

A lot of men if not most aren’t interested in Black Panther if the Black Panther is not a man. Right or wrong. No different than what the interest would be if Captain America was a female or Spider-Man was Spiderwoman for a movie. Women watch either way. I didn’t say thats right, only that that’s just how people feel

No point in re-enforcing the morality of it. It’s neither wrong or right — just how it is

what action figures can young boys buy that’s BP2 related? What BP2 costumes can they purchase for Halloween?

Let that sink in for a second

How insecure are these “men” really?

As a man, I would rather see a female in tights and spandex than a man. Just like when I was a kid watching old kung fu flick, I was more into the female fighters than the men.

Okay how do we know this is true?

Is there data on the gender split or are y'all pulling shyt out of your asses?

 

[The ADD]

Nah, Hov unleashing the flutes can’t be outshined

Avatar 2 is about to do double BP2's total gross in just about 16 days...

But beyond that, BP2 being outshone has more to do with BP2 than it does the other movies...


BP2:

Chadwick died. He was the black panther. Its hard to sell an audience on a movie sequel where the main character is replaced.

The story itself was not satisfying to the characters: Wakanda took an L, got beat up by Namor's people... then Zuri went soft on Namor. Her country got their shyt kicked in, and then went soft.... the story's message is odd and incongruent to the characters

Marvel fatigue is real: people been hating phase 4. Even beyond the quality, how many movies are they gonna make? People might feel burned out after Avengers endgame, which killed off some of the people that started this shyt.

Infinity War/Endgame were about as perfect as it could get. That was a magical moment in comic book film history.

I’m sorry

It will be hard to touch/replicate it.

No one even mentioned the Woman King in a single reply..which shows how silly the thread title is




Just another “where the menz at” Dr.Umar rant about BP2

It's not fukkin silly mf!!!!

I didn't think too highly of woman king the first time I watched it (saw it bootleg on my phone)

But when I watched it again on my 80inch with company I appreciated the action alot more...

It kicked ass a little harder than BP2

BP2 came and went

U saw the car commercial with the ladies and that target commercial with it leading up to the movie

But that shyt has been silence

 

[desjardins]

BP was a movement and special event
BP2 had to stand on it's own as a movie

 

[CreepyMcCreeperson]

I understand there is a lack of African warrior films, but the obsession over this is ridiculous.

nikka…

Name ONE movie with an all black cast that did over a billion? Just one.

Black Panther did over a billion because domestically it did $700 million. All of those movies you mentioned and white movies with white casts and were seen by mostly white people.

This is how they advertise movies with black lead actors in Europe.

Brad Pitt was on that movie for 5 minutes, yet look how he’s featured on the poster.


Ain’t nobody making excuses. Thor 4 shoudnt have been made. Spider Man did $2 billion. 2 movies came out during the pandemic, Dr Strange shouldn’t have been made and was pure fan service. Lumping Wakanda forever in with those other movies is just lazy.

Basically people were going to hate on it no matter what. The moment they decided not the recast. The moment Letitia Wright didn’t get vaccinated. The moment they had to delay shooting because she got hurt. People went into to this looking for reasons to hate on it and it still did $800 million which is more than Winter Soldier… it made more money than Captain America - Civil War domestically. The first two spider man movies domestically.

It made over $800 million with less time in theaters than the first and no China release (the first one did over $100 million in China). At the end of the day, it made a profit, got good reviews and is up for multiple awards.

Is that a black dude running through a cotton field?!

That's in the American poster.

BP2 vs Avatar isn't a fair comparison other than they are both epics.

Both weren't ever going to make what the originals made, but Avatar had several things working in favor of it that BP2 didn't, and clearly BP2 had things working against it that suggested it never was going to be as successful as the first.

Is that a black dude running through a cotton field?!

the black dude running is the lead actor and star of the movie.

This is what the original poster looks like.

But studios have a hard time promoting films with black lead characters in Europe and Asia. Black Panther is no different. It affects casting choices, the number of theaters that will even release it and how long they keep it in theaters.

 

[Ethnic Vagina Finder]

So after the movie outperformed during the Christmas holiday, they decided to add it back into 100 theaters. Too late

 

[Nkrumah Was Right]

Avatar 2 has better politics

 

[dora_da_destroyer]

WF was a let down, but it has nothing to do with the other movies doing woman warrior and water people better. It just didn’t drive you back to it

And of course Avatar is gonna do more, it’s James Cameron movie, one of the kings of the box office, and the entire appeal of seeing it in theaters is seeing it in 3D which increases box office receipts on GP
