The "Black panther wasn't that good" take is the new movie hipster line that has to be discussed

Is this your King?? *Looks away in shame*

First, no diss to @Take It In Blood who made me think of this and a reply by someone else, since you were talking about action scenes, and it was clearly not a hot take, it was an opinion.

But I've heard this a lot in the last year, on the ringerverse podcast Van Lathan stands on this square and I just don't fukkin get it.

How is that movie overrated? It was entertaining, beginning to end...was iconic in both acting performances and what it represented. Had a GOAT villian with bulletproof motives, a legit hero and a heroes journey, 5 star cast, and a good ending. The only reasonable complaint is the sus CGI on the bridge. Other than that it's an absolute classic.

Help me understand how we're now putting Ironman or age of Ultron and shyt above black panther?? It's truly some contrarian shyt to me.

My only criticism is that I feel whatever fight choreography crew the Russos were using should have been employed here.

The fights are a step down from Winter Soldier and Civil War in my opinion.

Other than that I saw the shyt 4 times in the theater
Same thing I came to say. BP in CW was a problem. :whew:

I think the CGI bridge fight, I agree. The throne challenges felt pretty major and were iconic to me.

I saw it twice in theaters and the fight scenes are my only complaint as well. Specifically when BP and Kilmonger are both suited up underground

personally, i think because bp was hyped up as though it were some sort of movement. i get the excitement behind a major black superhero on the big screen, but there was so much bandwagoning happening behind it that felt artificial as fukk, and when things like that happen, theres bound to be pushback of sorts in the opposite direction. like when ghostbusters afterlife came out, there werer people trashing it and supporting the 2016 version for a variety of reasons, one of which was that "at least it tried something new". i knew shyt was gonna get bad one day for bp when i saw that ass deray asking people on social media to tell him about the character instead of him picking up a damn comic so he could go to the premier and look like an absolute clown

I think that more hype was put into it than neccesary, because it's either you fukked with it or you did'nt.

A lot of people were expecting BP to be some kind of...I dunno...revolutionary film that would change the landscape of cinema or some shyt

For me, I was just glad that there was a Black Panther movie and that it was done well. That was it.

The hate is absurd though. BP is easily better than:

- IM 2 and 3
- Nortons Hulk
- Both Antmans
- Captain Marvel (LOL)
- Thor 2
- Black Widow
- Eternals
- Cap 1

What about those who still haven't watched it?

:mjpls:

I've only seen probably one comic book film over the last five years, and it wasn't Black Panther.
