I read an article today about how the first negative review of the movie is racist and bullshit.

Sure it did.  

Actually, I have no doubt every critic who has seen it gave it a 100% rating.  But I highly doubt 100% of those ratings reflect what the critic actually feels about the movie.

Blade came out in 1998. Spawn came out in 1997. Granted Spawn is more like an anti-hero, but still. Giving "Black Panther" the credit for being first on-screen black hero lead role is a lie. Shit, you could probably say Shaft was the first black people's big-screen hero.

It could be a decent movie, but no way in hell a comic book movie is 100 or 99.  Clearly reviewers are afraid to give it the score it deserves because of possible backlash, see the one guy they gave it less than 100.  The fact RT IS deleting reviews means it's a crap movie and they are trying to protect it. Remember liberals think blacks are children which must be protected and it all makes sense.

It would have to be a REALLY good superhero movie and the odds are against it with so many out these days.  The first Spiderman was terrific.  So was the first Ironman.  Watchmen was terrific.  Most of latest crop has been pretty Meh.  As some other poster noted it's "Cape Fatigue".  Especially when they start cramming tons of superheroes and tons of villains into every movie with too many story arcs.

The reality is that any good movie is usually also a superhero movie.  Someone that triumphs against unusual odds.  Even T2 was sort of superhero movie.  The Machine kicked some ass to be sure but also transcended his machine-ness.  So in Spiderman he had to learn how to deal with the superpowers but he was still a shy kid.  In Ironman Tony Stark's suit was almost a side effect of inventing a better way to keep his own weapon out of his heart.  In watchmen they were all seriously flawed people. The hero usually has a weakness too.

How perfect it came out just in time for black history month. It wont be long and people will be saying finally a movie with a black super hero. Mind you they've been for awhile although no one specified the race or color of the hero, because the movie was that good. Blade 1, 2, 3. MiB 1, 2, 3,. Legend, Wild wild west, what other movies has Will Smith stared in?  Spawn, Shaft, Life, Shaw Shank Redemption. I mean holy shit lots of good movies that didn't need to bring up race.  I wonder how Jackie Chan made it from a no body to a star?  He learned how to act human and do it well.

If a movie has to rely on the race of the main character to prop it up then it is effectively ramming it (AA) down the general populations throats, who can not read between the lines and will happily part with their $14 for a ticket and be frisked upon entering the germ infested theater.

I dont know about you guys, but I feel special that I have one or two folks white knighting for me whenever race comes up in GD.

I certainly dont think that its actually the white knighters that are the actual racist shitbags that think I cant manage "perceived" racism on my own, and that I need their protection. I mean foreal, us colored folks are too dumb to deal with all this "racism" on our own.

Godamn I needed the protection of calling GD posters racists, to shield me from any possible negative reviews of a fucking also ran superhero movie.

Thanks GD whiteknights! I totally dont think that you are the actual racists.

Bullshit, she didn't want to miss half the movie due to hooting, hollering, and shouting at the screen but she was too chicken shit to say that and came up with a PC excuse.

Just saw a review that said that the movie has a different feel than other Marvel movies in that there's not that much action and it's very political, in nature.  I think anyone expecting something closer to the last Thor movie is going to be disappointed. Having seen Ryan Coogler's last movie, Creed, I can see this being the case as his history shows that he's more focused on character development than big action set pieces.

As far as the box office, it will good although likely not blockbuster.  Audiences want to see mindless fun like Jumanji and not thinking movies like Blade Runner.

We'll see how it goes.  I was able to get tickets for Thursday night's showing so will make up my own mind.

Genius! I hope that gains traction and ends up either exposing Hollywood as hypocrites or making SJW movies unprofitable in the long run.

If this idea really took off it would destroy Hollywood profit margins. They would essentially have to make SJW movies at break even prices or be called out for their greedy capitalism.

ETA: Even better, black people get in to see it free, everyone else has to pay for a ticket.

I had no idea you were black. I don't care what color, race ethnicity, sexual preference, beans/no beans, .45/9, gender, religion or political beliefs you hold. I will value you by one critical factor... Are you a decent person, or an asshole?

That's it. My total litmus test for value in other people I allow in my life is the "are you, or are you not an asshole?"

Simple, but very effective.
