Honestly, that is such a ridiculously hard set of counterfactuals to even discuss though.

What if Carthage had never met setbacks with Alexander The Great and went on to win the second Punic Wars? Who knows where the fuck the world would be right now. At a minimum you probably never get what became modern Christianity or Islam. So does the Aksumite Empire continue to survive and evolve with no Islamic Empire pushing into the Red Sea and Nile? Does a finicky climate and the harsher environment of Africa stagnate and do them in anyways?

There are any number of those historical flashpoints that had things tipped in a different direction, it's almost impossible to figure out where the path diverges too. I don't think it is completely unreasonable to suggest that had things tipped a different way that you could of seen North Africa and other locations be more of developmental hubs toward advanced civilization. It's also kinda ridiculous to assert something would of assuredly happened if X or Y never happened. Africa is not an easy place to live in. Hard to build a thriving, ongoing civilization in the heart of Africa when disease is much more prevalent due to evolutionary forces and a few fucking elephants could come by and eat up your entire crop yield in a day.

I was gonna say it might not be too late for Africa but at this point in world history what we have seen is a group of people go around conquering everybody, claiming land, clear-cutting forests and driving various animals to extinction in the name of growth and industry, and then quickly say "nobody else do what we just did, conservation and preservation is important."

Africa can't undergo their own industrial/societal revolution because that would necessitate making the land habitable by driving out some really nasty species and razing jungles.  Conservationists would get upset.

Be excited with any kind of popcorn trash at the cinema, I don't give a shit. The moment you try to shoehorn any kind of political significance into a fucking Marvel movie that's when I lose all respect for you. Every single part of these "political messages" in these pieces of crap is a marketing ploy. It's the latest craze in capitalism, pretend to be "socially conscious" for free and very successful publicity. Corporations might be pillaging the planet and exploiting humanity, but look, Disney has a black superhero and Walmart just introduced it's latest green initiative! (that won't do shit) OMG so great!

Turns out as a country becomes more diverse, it becomes increasingly financially wise to try and advertise and produce products catered toward a diverse array of audiences. Not sure why that automatically assumes the creative talent behind these products is always some nefarious capitalist ploy. A 200 million dollar, primarily black cast Hollywood movie, is going to evoke political discussion regardless of anything the studio does. Since there aren't a whole lot of those.

...Though talking about losing respect for people's priorities and wasting energy on meaningless events, as you spend hours a day lurking and hate-blogging a a fringe left-wing video games forum is a bit on the nose even for this thread.

All you guys are arguing against me is that you're basic, shallow bitches.

The only thing shallow here are your posts on this topic and your inability to look at the forest beyond the trees.

"Oh well if you need something to relate to in media to like it, you're shallow"

That's such a bullshit cop-out, a shitty diversion. That tries the lame "let's pull this to it's ultimate end". The argument is not that people need something to relate to, not all the time though this is also a stupid argument because of course people like to see things they can relate to in media. Skin color, personalities, settings, behavior, whatever. You're being delusional if you can't understand that people respond to things that remind them of something anywhere on the measuring stick. I'm not Japanese, but I relate to the coming of age aspects of Evangelion or Devilman Crybaby. I'm not a struggling architect in LA, but I related to JGL's romantic frustrations in 500 Days of Summer. Responding to things usually means you've made some connection on some level.

You seem to think it has to absolute. "Oh well since of course someone doesn't think Captain America represents me 100% the entire idea of wanting to see a super hero who looks like them fails" which doesn't make any sense. Where it's well walked ground that many people sub consciously or not are drawn to characters that resemble them or what they want to resemble in some way, what they think or want to think. Captain America doesn't represent me, but he represent how I would like to be as an American maybe. Rouge of the X-Men doesn't represent me, but I relate to her inability to get close to people on some level and I like her as a character a lot more.

And while none of this has to be there for people to like characters or media, it is often there and a part of what drives people.

So the fact that you can't understand why someone would like the fact that they have a super-hero that looks like them is mind boggling.

But then it isn't because you did what a lot of white people do. You answered with the reply of well "I don't have to do that". Of course you don't. You are pandered to and you can afford not to. There will be millions of things you can relate to or see yourself in even if you don't want to.

Your post would be parody if it wasn't so seriously from you.

[james]

I think it's really ridiculous that there's so much shit around Black Panther. The people saying "omg who cares about black panther" ad nauseam are the worst of it.

 It's an extremely popular, mainstream movie with an almost entirely Black cast. Take a step back from the pop culture nerds you see on ERA and realize that this is just a fucking comic book movie meant for fun.

 I might roll my eyes a bit when reading some hot takes about how bold Marvel is being for simply handling the story the way it's meant to be handled, but it's something that's really fun and important in the moment in that has yet to be done on this scale.

 The amount of people complaining that this movie simply exists, or is successful, is pretty sad, because it's not even an indifference over it "just being a comic book movie", it's an active dislike of merely the concept that something like this exists.

 Like, I really get that criticism of it being "just a comic book movie", but why REEEEEE about it so much if you earnestly don't care about it?

 Don't get mad at the people that are hyped to see this movie or personally feel like they're better represented for its existence.

It was bad enough when we had too many white comic book nerds.

Do we really need to add to that by "diversifying" the number of people with garbage taste in movies?

Why create more neckbeards. Nobody wins.

I do agree with this, but you're being willfully blind if you don't think this political discussion is manufactured to a large degree. Things like people taking groups of poor black children to the movies, the whole, "this is a win for black people" are all being propagated by Disney and their marketers. Some of it is organic, as you said, but even the organic stuff quickly gets picked up and used to push the movie. Then you have to ask, at what point does it stop being organic?

A decent counter-example would be Wonder Woman. Basically the same scenario, but for women. Yet while there was people, mostly on the far left, making political hay out of the movie, the shilling for WW was nowhere near what we've seen for BP. Probably because WB is largely incompetent. The thing that drove people to Wonder Woman was good word of mouth. The thing that is mainly driving people to see Black Panther seems to be much more heavily focused on this narrative of 'seeing this movie will make a positive social impact!'

This plays into the fact that what is really driving this ultra divisive social justice crap on the left is money more than anything else.

Of Course Disney is going to nudge on anything that is going to increase the revenue of this film. It has a fiduciary responsibility to its stockholders to do as such. It is what it is.

At the same time, it is unavoidable that this is in fact a notable event in terms of American Hollywood history. Not a whole lot of 200 million dollar, primarily black cast, Hollywood popcorn films, with an emphasized and positive contemporaneous vision, have been getting made over the years. So of course it is going to draw attention, especially when it has the big, competent, established marketing blitz capacity of Marvel and Disney to go along with it. And of course Disney is going to welcome the positive force that has been mobilized behind the signal. This is the first Marvel movie to really have any sort of political significance of any kind, so I guess I am not really shocked it is going to be a bit more buzzed about and less ambiguous than than the lead up to Patty Jankin's Wonder Woman. Which most people I think were a bit unsure with what to expect, audiences and critics. And as you say, that probably has to do with Warner and the DC universe... Though I don't really know how you measure shilling?

I hadn't even made the connection of being released in Black History Month for Black Panther, but instead was taken aback at Marvel dumping a supposedly popular movie with tons of hype in Feburary, noted death month for all studios to put out trash movies they expect to be terrible and make no money.

[samfish]

  As much as I give shit to companies that blatantly target demographics, there is still some merit as to what's being done here.

  Majority Black casts in movies are almost always regulated to non-Box Office movies, the bar's so low that a lot of Tyler Perry's recycled and hackneyed shit is considered decent because it at least tries to represent and cater to an underrepresented group of people.

 This is a movie coming out from a company that has been putting out decent movies and it's already projecting to be one of the highest takers in the BO. It's something to celebrate when you consider that this shit simply doesn't exist. Even in Star Wars etc. a lot of the minority characters are regulated to people that mean nothing to the plot. Finn feels like such a piece of shit in TFA, and in TLJ he's a bitchboy that accomplishes nothing and goes off with the other token minority to briefly touch on class differences.

 There's a lot of genuine hype around this movie for good reason imho.

Sure, it's an entirely black cast. I understand why black people are celebrating. They have good reason to do so. But why does that translate into hype for other people who aren't black? This is nice, but it isn't relevant to asians or latinos, middle easterners or Pacific Islanders. It feels like you're making the mistake of lumping all non-white people together under the banner of 'minority' and saying they should be excited for this too... but the cold, hard reality is that an all black cast in a blockbuster budget movie is pretty much as irrelevant to their day-to-day lives as it is to white people. I don't think that's really attributable to the hype it's getting from all corners, except for where it gets into this divisive black vs white tribalism that we've been discussing for the last few years.

I'm not being completely obtuse here – I do get it. It is a nice milestone in some respects and I get why people would want to celebrate it. Still, I feel like the viral marketing going on here is transparently obvious that it just leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

That being said –

The thing that is mainly driving people to see Black Panther seems to be much more heavily focused on this narrative of 'seeing this movie will make a positive social impact!'

While there's a lot of media coverage of the "this is great for black folks" angle, I imagine the vast majority of people are being "driven" to see the movie because it's a highly rated movie in a series of very popular films.

This is also a part of it. I think it's fair to say there is a guaranteed rate of success for any Marvel movie at this point – probably with Ant Man or Dr. Strange being the baseline – and anything on top of that is a combination of hype, word of mouth, marketing, etc. This movie was going to be a success regardless of whether or not it became politicized.

The point continues to elude you, etiolate.

The point being, is that you can snipe about people being superficial from your privileged ivory tower all day long, but you cannot even consider that you've never had to feel under-represented because your whole life you've been spoonfed media that panders to your like. So you have the luxury of not caring about skin color in movies, because you've never had to grow up and play with toys and look up to heroes that look nothing like you. And you lack empathy.

[thisismyusername]

I wonder how Africans feel when seeing Americans losing their minds over this movie. So weird.

Actually funny enough one of the stars talks about that (since she lived in Africa):  https://www.rollingstone.com/movies/features/black-panther-danai-gurira-from-zombie-slayer-to-marvel-superstar-w516373

True, but some of Gurira's best bits are barely verbal: a wink, a nod, a watchful gaze or, during an undercover battle scene in a Seoul nightclub, a GIF-worthy shot of Okoye flinging her hated costume wig at a perp."You don't need that hair," she says, laughing. Three guesses how that clip is going to play on Twitter. The bigger question is: How will Black Panther play in Gurira's African hometown? On a recent trip to Zimbabwe, people were excited to see it. Still, she's seen firsthand staging her own plays how references that get giggles in Manhattan trigger wise groans in Harare. "I can't wait to see how it goes in South Africa," she says. "I really can't predict it. I hope they think we got the” – Gurira replicates the glottal throat-clicks of numerous African dialects – "right."

Still, she knows the stakes – and the potential – if Black Panther is a global smash. "There are so many more stories about African women to tell," says Gurira, adding, "and there are other Americas than what we see in the movies." What would life have been like if she'd never left Ohio? What's it like now for young girls in Zimbabwe who, like her, are watching movies to figure out who they can grow up to be? And can she channel her stardom into getting fans to see stories about about strong black women who don't even have to pick up a weapon?

Some of the more "look how good I write" takes on Black Panther are annoying, but I'm sorry Optimus. People aren't distinguished mentally-challenged because they are connecting Black Panther with Black History month. For some people it's a movie to be very celebratory of and proud of. There's really nothing wrong with the sentiment.

If the black community bonds over and is proud of a fucking superhero movie then I really feel fucking sorry for the black community. Especially a superhero movie that imagines a super duper advanced African civilization to the point it almost looks condescending.

You're not black and who the fuck are you to decide what people bond over or are proud of? Who the fuck are you other then some internet try hard?

Some people are happy that they have representation in one of the biggest American mass market franchisees out there. Some people are happy that they have something that their kid can look at and be like "that dude looks like me". Some people are happy they have a big budget Black movie that is'nt just a slave movie or a movie solely targeted at the Black community. Some people are happy that a huge company made something not completely white washed. Some people are happy that theres a Black Superhero who gets to be in the leagues Superman, Batman, and Iron Man.

It's its not fucking rocket science to understand how some minorities may fucking be happy and proud that there is a big fucking million dollar American Blockbuster pandering to them because there's been how many of those?

YOU ARE A FUCKING IDIOT.

I am not represented. You continue to think skin color and sex is a major representative of the individual. You are stuck in racist collective thinking.

I am not kidding with the "relates to 5% of the population" bit. That's a best guesstimate to my life based on a variety of factors. Anyone who knows me in real life understands this. You're just a fuckwit on the internet who falls in line with mob behavior on a bitter little forum filled with former members of a nutjob community.

You forget that comics are stories made by outcasts for other outcasts and those types of people aren't going to identify solely on skin color when people of their own skin color abuse, ostracize and bully them their whole life. I don't think that sort of social pressure produces simple, basic bitches like yourself. I don't even think you're that simple. I think you swallowed some horseshit about representation without ever truly testing that theory against the reality of life.

Right because only comic book nerds watch marvel movies.

And no one gives a shit about what you relate to. Posting about bitter forum dwellers *on said bitter forum* is too much, even for you.

I am anti-nonsense and anti-bullshit.

And pretty anti-thebore because of the true vile nature of people here.

I don't have a political tribe, because that ends up with you defending bullshit and nonsense. People here think I'm conservative or whatever because they haven't ran into certain ideas of information before. Though it may be that anyone who disagrees with them has to be right wing. A lot of people here are only a feather's throw away from REEEEEEEEEEEset.

I don't visit the US politics thread often here because it's basically 90% r/politics with liberal distinguished mentally-challenged fellows pointlessly reeeeeeeeeing about Trump and like members of a cult expecting the Russian conspiracy second coming any time now but from the little I've read you seemed like the opposite side of the same shitty coin. Then again you might act as the contrarian there which would be partly justified given the level of retardation exhibited in that thread so I'll refrain from judgment.

Right now i feel privileged because i'm not american and don't have to deal with any of this shit.

TVC what is your favorite Peter Sotos album?

Spoiler: White dudes don't look at super heroes and think that dude looks like me. Don't look at Friends and say that represents my life.

That's because 90% of all characters across all media are straight white men dudes. White people aren't constantly aware of being represented in media because that'd be like being constantly aware of your lungs filling with oxygen every few seconds.

Shhh... you hear that? It's the point flying over E-toliet and flOptimus's head.

Black Panther isn't the first movie to have an all-black cast. But it is one of the first BLOCKBUSTER/AAA (ugh) whatever you want to call it pop-corn film to have a black cast. A lot of pop-corn films cater to whites. Why do you think #OscarsSoWhite was a thing?

[Boredfrom]

Etiolate, you are kind of contradicting your point given how much you are obsessing about Black Panther and representation.

People can identify with any fictional character whatever race or not is involved, that is true. But there is nothing really wrong in looking up a fictional hero because “he looks like me”.

And you fruits had the nerve to get all bent out of shape when we talked about wrestling for a page
