"This (white) race is inherently evil and the world is better without it - fuck racism though!!"

From this to their fanatic prudery and all their other hypocritical, uneducated shit-talk, it's amazing how social studiers don't realize that they've turned into caricatures of what they once hated.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/is-it-wrong-to-still-expect-apology-after-being-catfished-long-time-ago.41510/page-2#post-7746717

The person that catfished me when I was a teenager on a forum is still using that fake personality on all kinds of social media to prey on teenagers. I forgave "him" at the time and we're still in touch but sometimes I see "him" putting on the act and I can't help but shake my head. It's like dude you're a 30 something year old bald white dude pretending to be a young hip Star Wars connaisseur as famous as RedLetterMedia. Give it a rest already.

Why is he stalking RLM. Someone warn Mike.

I'd call his boss and report him if he had a real job.

I'd go for the 2 mil.  Feel like my earning potential the rest of my life is quite a bit more than the 3 mil difference, but not if I was known as a horse cocksucker.

You’d be pretty popular with horses if you openly sucked one off, though.  That could be useful.

When others tell me they didn't like it, and they site the story, it makes me think if there's possibly a disconnect between the individual and compassion for humanity. I'm not saying people aren't compassionate, but in terms of being in a place in their life right now where they can't feel the non-fictional tragedy this movie is presenting. Maybe because these people have personal conflict that they can't relate. And hey, I'm white so it would be wrong for me to say I 'feel the pain', but there is a powerful impact to a superhero movie taking a second to tell the audience, "yeah we're using a real-world tragic scenario that is still a problem in the world", and asking others to to feel that in order to understand the motivations behind nearly everyone.

This is the biggest problem I had with the movie, Killmonger turns up and has the audience going "Yeah, fuck yeah. This guy's got a point".

People thinking Killmonger had a point. Dude wanted to arm inner city gangs with alien weaponry. And then basically kill everyone.

People think Thanos had a point as well, so I guess I shouldn't be surprised. People bouncing between ethnic cleansing and atheistic Stalinist doctrine.

Killmonger does have a point, saying that is not an endorsement of everything he says.

I mean that's pretty much the point of the plot; do the part he has a good point on without all the killing he wanted.  In that sense, saying "he has a point" as a criticism of the movie is stupid.

Well... I mean HITLER said some stuff most everyone could agree with...

Ah I'm kidding, I don't really care. I just wanted to absurdly compare Hitler to Killmonger.

"We should help the world" is a point. "We shouldn't isolate ourselves" is a point. Neither are Killmonger's point. The point of a guy named Killmonger is to kill. He was in the military. He was special ops. He loved killing so much he kept a tally of kills on his own body.  He went around killing all sorts of people. He had a violent revolution fantasy that all went in with his own murderous nature.

uh Magneto?

Magneto is a bitch in the movies. And I say that as a fan of McKellen AND Fassbender. He eventually capitulates and I forget the plot of X-3, but he and his brotherhood of mutants didn't do shit.

Only Days of Future Past is where he nearly completes his plan and even then they have to knock Magneto's helmet off for "GET OUT OF MY HEAD, CHARLES!!!!"

Now comic-book wise? You'd have a point, but even then I wouldn't class him as a huge/good villain. He's powerful (Omega, I think?), but still can't get his dreams completed.


Killmonger was such a lazily written character. Oh, I guess he had a rough upbringing with white cops constantly harassing him? But I guess they'd have to when he was a teen, cause he likely spent most of his 20s in the military?

Like, I just can't connect the dots with him. He doesn't seem very smart either, with the entirety of his plan being "Oh, i'll do this spoiler thing to fall in the good graces of the Wakandians."

Maybe one of the worst marvel villains to date. Even Ivan Vanko's motives were more clear.

I agree. Killmonger in Black Panther was so misused. He could've been a good villan (or Andy's character) for the three solo films if they built it up as a continuing mutiny/civil war and the BP was actually not the king and Killmonger didn't know at the time (and the next Avengers/5 would've combined BP2 and itself together to stop Wakanda's invasion).

I mean he has a point about Wakanda's isolation, but they totally botched him using the weapons AND never explaining why Wakanda was isolated beyond "uh... reasons. lol"

What are Magento, Professor X and Legion classified as? The classification basically means "can end the world at will", I just can't remember the name.

I think they're lumped with Storm, Cyclops, and Jean Grey/Phoenix as Omega-level Mutants, but I can't say.

Also Legion the TV show has given me a new-found appreciation of the comic character. Them doing the deep-dives into his mind and him having to fight off the multiple personalities in the comic is actually interesting.

You know, I always wonder why Black Panther is the movie most people make 'it's overrated!!!' threads about, and not say Thor: Ragnarok or Spider-Man: Homecoming despite those also getting great reviews.

Because Thor: Ragnarok and Spider-man: Homecoming both have funny moments and don't take themselves as seriously as Black Panther? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? :doge



Shit, Thor: Ragnarok as a WHOLE was a MASSIVE improvement over the previous two Thor outings (because they jettison'd Natalie Portman and made it into a comedy instead of YE OLDE ASGARDE SUPER SERIOUS WORLD DESTRUCTION SHIT. The Ragnarok is still super serious, but not the MAIN focus. Thor's trying to prevent it, that's it. Comedy comes along for the ride and improves that). I mean compare this or the Thor/Hulk fight "HEY HE'S A WORK BUDDY!" *Loki looking embarassed* "What does he mean?" "...Nothing. I don't know. Some nonsense!" *Thor gets Avenger-beatened like Loki did in the first, Loki visibly enjoying this as Karma* to Black Panther's "How do you think ya'll got this?"



Black Panther doesn't have moments like these where you laugh because of the absurdity. It takes itself very seriously and wraps itself in black trappings because that's what the director wanted. The problem is: The writers failed to make it "worthwhile"/entertaining with poor villian motivations and not justifying the nations isolation and other shit to make the audience go "ok, I can relate with that."

The only person you can relate with is Killmonger (in a sense) and even then his motivation comes back to that failing to explain Wakanda's hidden status for so long.

(Also side-note: Chris Hemsworth really enjoyed working on Ragnarok because 1: He got to cut his long-hair and 2: He enjoyed working on a comedy instead of a super-serious comic-book for once along with the director. IIRC he's stated he'd extend his contract if solo Thors were like Ragnarok)

you guys spend way too much time on this garbage. Yes, that is the funniest scene in Spider-Man homecoming, and Thor Ragnarok had some funny scenes, but as a whole who gives a fuck? It's the same movies over and over and over.

Let them fucking die.

Nope. Just because it triggers TVC and you, I'll go watch them multiple times like Mad Max. :-*

Super Hero fatigue ain't happening anytime soon, no matter what you and movie critics want. :doge

The online counter-obsession with people trying to tear apart Black Panther because people's fondness for it triggered them is as cringe-worthy as reading some on Resetera try and oversell it as some existential breakthrough for human culture.

No it's not. People feeding this corporate machine is directly responsible for the death of movies, and the theater experience as a whole. Before now summer braindead blockbuster tentpoles were exclusive to a 3 month window but now it's practically the entire movie season.

The increase in Marvel/nostalgia/franchise profits has not correlated in more risk taking ventures (outside of crazy ass netflix which is going by their own model). Everyone is after the big bucks, and because of social media manipulation by advertisers and the increasing number of the population growing distinguished mentally-challenged this fucking trend has not bucked for a lot longer than usual.

So, fuck you.
