You can recognize a Reset diatribe on the significance of a movie as being particularly misguided without categorizing everyone who is encouraged by it as being distinguished mentally-challenged.
If people can't be excited about it, then what do you allow them to be excited for? A particularly stirring book? A video game? Legislation? What's acceptable, if not this? Movies are a major part of culture, like it or not. And it's a mostly all-black cast, set in Africa, taken seriously, as a nationwide blockbuster, and apparently it's also a good movie. You can't point at something like Blade and say it was quite the same.
I just take issue with the conversation revolving around how "black people have nothing and this shows what could have been." That's attributing way too much to this movie.
I mean at its heart this is just another white savior story. Not the plot of the movie, the meta-plot how white people had to create a black hero and make a movie about him, for them, so BossAttack could write a long thread about how much black people needed this.
