Best cinematographer alive. 
I'm an Eva fan but technically speaking the TV show has rather janky production values, esp. animation wise. There's infamous money saving tricks used a lot. It's far from equaling movies and it's not even Gainax's best work on this specific front.

I'm prepared for the internet to not like this move for "some reason".

Can't wait for the backlash. I will see the movie extra times.

You know the movie is going to piss all manner of people off just for how black it is. It could be Oscar worthy or a piece of shit but just what the movie is going to piss some people off like nothing else just for whose in it and what its about.

"hur dur why couldn't they make a movie about a secret super advanced kingdom of white folks?"

Oh yes please, I would love to watch this. Black Panthers we're the real deal, screw the FBI and their terrorist agenda.

Expect tears and people not being able to "relate".

No one is going to be upset about Black Panther, just like no one was upset about Luke Cage, just like no one was upset about Creed, just like no one is upset about Fences. You know what no one can relate to? Being a giant green monster that destroys shit. No one gets upset about Godzilla or Hulk in movies unless the movies suck. When Black Panther doesn't do as well as GOTG, it won't be because it is a "black movie", it will be because most people had never heard of Black Panther before he was in Civil War, because no one reads Marvel comic books.

Marvel said the same thing about Luke Cage and the politics in there was just there. I would be surprised about a super advanced race of people in Africa who have based on the comic hid themselves from everyone to be solely on what is happening in America.

Hell in reality, imagine how pissed off Black people would be if one African nation was most advanced and kept it to themselves all these years.

[benjipwns]

it will be because most people had never heard of Black Panther before he was in Civil War

And why that is (white supremacist culture spawned by gamergate), is a discussion we need to have as a nation until people like Zoe Saldana learn to stay in their lane.

Can't Relate: The Movie


God I need this movie.

They ain't ready

I want it be so woke that a instead of an after credit scene a little black lady comes up to you and makes you take a plate home.

Being black and woke isn't the only thing exciting about it though. I think it could potentially shake things up in-universe in a major way. Wakanda is supposed to be the pinnacle of scientific excellence, but they've been isolated from the world until now, so we don't really know what they've accomplished. T'Challa's father intended to change that, so you could have a situation like Winter Soldier where Wakanda's coming out party changes the whole world in drastic ways. What does the world look like after they start exporting their culture and resources? How does the world react to an enhanced person who also happens to be the king of a sovereign nation? How do the Sokovia Accords apply to Black Panther, if they apply at all? How does Wakanda react to the Avengers?

Hell in reality, imagine how pissed off Black people would be if one African nation was most advanced and kept it to themselves all these years.

This is my favorite thing about Wakanda. At least as it was originally introduced. It has all these stereotypical African cults and crap, plus half the population is depicted as standard African savages, oh and by the way it also has the world's most advanced electronics, operating on discoveries nobody has ever found and even in many ways surpasses space-fairing races PLUS the world's most advanced natural resource (that somehow found its way into Captain America's shield at some point) which nobody has ever bothered to try and acquire. (But Reed Richards can figure it all out in like two seconds anyway and be operating it against Zemo or whoever.)

Atlantis has a similar thing going even though it's been destroyed as a civilization every six months. Also Latveria operates on a similar principle depending on story needs.

Black Panther is going to do fine, because Marvel hasn't struck out yet since the the reconfigure. Also, while Black Panther and Falcon are two of the biggest dorks in the Marvel comics, in the MU, they're badass. Falcon in the movies may actually be the best character in Avengers.

Edit - I don't have time to go into the many reasons why Eva is good, but to answer one common complaint about the christian religious imagery: Yes it's meaningless window-dressing. The annoyance you are experiencing is what it feels like to have your culture appropriated. Anno is just reflecting back the casual orientalism of Western media (taking Chinese and Japanese cultural themes and using them as window-dressing).

I believe it is more liberal than most places but it not this very liberal place many claim it to be.

This place has serious issues when we actually talk specifics about social issues especially around racial minorities, women and trans folk, it just has less serious issues than virtually anywhere else.

The deconstruction of the meaning of "liberalism" in this thread is beyond fascinating.

Also, it's all but proven this guy exists in some world where words have different meanings.

I should clarify that I am speaking purely about social liberals and moderate...

You can totally be a self define liberal because of economics and be crazy racist.

It's why I always get made when people respond to racist liberals by calling them not liberals.

Yeah, that's the whole thing about self-labeling you doofus.

GAF is liberal unless the topic has to do with race, gender, or sexuality.
We get GAF's real leanings in those threads. The only thing keeping that in check is moderation... although there has been a slight shift lately.

Zoe Salanda has a history of putting your foot in her mouth. She doesn't believe that there's such thing as a person of color but she was willing to put on some blackface in order to make that Nina Simone movie. At the end of the day she's probably as ignorant As Trump.

good enough

[clothedmacuser]

The thread makes it shocking clear that liberal means "the most morally righteous," to gaffers.  Never mind how an issue lands on a political spectrum it's about how courageous and virtuous you stance is that makes it "liberal."  It really sickens me how the left adopted the "moral majority" tactic.

I feel like that thread has been posted at least once a week over the last two months.

Also from Lime in that CoD/MErect thread:

Just about writing a story with characters and then putting yourself front and center as the badass hero. It's probably just a cultural thing in terms of self-centering oneself as being frowned upon and considered selfish where I grew up.

How do the Sokovia Accords apply to Black Panther, if they apply at all? How does Wakanda react to the Avengers?

So many of these types of posts since it was announced that it kinda makes me want to see it fail just to see the tears and "b-b-but whites" posts that they try to explain for it.

But it's Marvel, so it's gonna make bank. Black Panther in Civil War wasn't bad, but (IMO) totally unnecessary. Same with Spiderman. Only reason they added them was for these future movies. So Black Panther has to convince me there is more to him than that revenge plot in Civil War.

[benjipwns]

He's a cool character and can make for a good movie on his own within the context. It's weird that like his being black somehow makes the movie or the character that is the royal elite of an advanced nation in a franchise of Disney's to somehow be "woke" enough to represent some kind of centerpiece of a movement? AND cause white backlash against the movie? White people love black heroes in films! (As long as the heroes weren't originally white.)

Plus like Disney isn't going to be going into overdrive, again, making clear that this has nothing to do with the Black Panthers that he's named after the animal blah blah.

[benjipwns]

Some of these "how do i news gaf?" posts act like you have to actively set aside a period to read everything published with a fine toothed comb or you'll somehow miss the one thing important for knowing...something?

Also the fanboy wars out there are brutal:

You wouldn't imagine the amount of crap I take from people I know because I have the audacity to consume stuff like the NYT.

Though this is accurate, but you should start with KCNA to know what's true before going to any Western imperialist propaganda sources:

I think we have to change news reading to my method.. but it includes rt,npr,aljazeera,fox news,briebart,haaretz, debka, and YouTube for video interviews.

You find snippets of propaganda, truth, and the fact's all between multiple sources. I start my day off with RT to know where to backtrace from, or what stories will be countered on cnn. Comparing and contrasting between multiple sources, seeing who cites whom.

It's also useful for when people tell you about stuff from their Facebook feed. You know what flavor of media it was sourced from.

if we could somehow bring Dwight D Eisenhower forward from the 1950s...he would chew Trumps guts out with his own teeth.

If there was one person id bring forward it would be General Patton who trump seems to idolize so much. Patton would bitchslap Trump so hard Trumps head would spin. Trumps love for Russia would infuriate patton to no end.

Its one of those cases where an Idiot(Trump) thinks just because Patton was a no bullshit guy that they would suddenly get along.
