In other words you want to have the last word. Got it.
1 - there are scenes of urban neigborhoods [begining and ending]
2 - "White boy" and "Colonizer" by Shuri
3 - the movie harps on slavery from the past and a call to arms via Killmonger
4 - bold statements - check; Violence - check; sex - there's sexual tension between 2 characters]; drug - there's tthe Herb, so check; White Man is bad - Check
7 - Geared towards American blacks - check
I think it's absolutely a blaxploitation movie only on a higher budget.
what's on Thor that is "over the head" of... anybody, really? It's not that it delves in metaphysical problems of consciousness and perception or the problematique of empiricism vs realism or...
^^^keeps coming back
What I don't get is why the man wants to destroy what he made in the first place.
Reminds me of Lynch. S3 of Twin Peaks was such a let down [with the exception of a couple of episodes]. There was no need to continue the Laura Palmer thing when FWWM gave it an interesting ending.
it would be a great turnaround, given that no Black Panther [or Wakandans for that matter] ever cared even for their own neighbors.
he was craving the Herb
completely agreed.
or... it was just a very mediocre movie.
This is the first MCU movie that has less international viewings than domestic [don't put your hopes for China that high]. That should tell you something.
It's the "race card".
Cast mostly black
Director is black
Music made by black guy
Movie made for black americans
Came out in "black month" [or whatever nonsense it's called] and has black americans as the obvious bait... I mean, target audience.
Gets reviewed on youtube by a plethora of american black guys and gals [who hilariously even cry because there was never a movie with black people or black superheroes apparently; even Snoop Dog reacts to the trailer, lol]
Is the movie good? meh. MCU has way better movies [and I adored the character in Civil War]
Is it Oscar material? LOL no. Not by a mile
Meanwhile, the movie isn't getting much audience from abroad as other MCU movies have in the past [granted that China, Russia and Japan markets haven't opened yet]. An MCU movie that makes more money in America than outside of it [a first] is really telling.

the irony
^^^^ THE IRONY!!!!!
He is saying that African music is very different from what you perceive as "African vibe". Which indeed it is. Specially traditional music from the various locations in Africa. Most "African" music doesn't have a melody line that is recognizable which makes it somewhat unsuitable for blockbuster movies [it can work to accompany a scene, but not as a proper soundtrack]
I don't even remember it. That's how good the Soundtrack is.
I do music. I care. And Frog is correct. They are 2 separate things.
I don't know if it's racist but it has a double marketing use:
1 - "if RAP/HIP-HOP, therefore it's for the black Americans to see" kind of message [hip-hop culture and all that]
2 - Hip-Hop and rap; ie: "the definition" of the American blacks, kind of idea. As if whites only listen to rock and Pop.
The movie and trailers are all built to rub on the black American ego. Meanwhile, if you are not American [or black, for that matter] you can see it from miles away and laugh at it [you'll be called "racist", which is even funnier]
Besides the annoying rap and hip-hop on a movie that takes place in Africa [it would be far more suitable to use a mix of tribal kind of music and Industrial [to emphasize the different aspects of Wakanda, ie - traditionalist yet advanced], or the one used in CW for the BP motif in that same movie - worked pretty well there], there are other motifs used in trailers ad nauseam that makes me cringe:
- the single mid-octave piano note with lots of reverb
- a female singing in whispers a "a Capella" version of a well known classic or sentence [ex: AoU]
- a techno remix of a classic
There are others, but these are the ones I find the most egregious.

awwwww... he still makes assumptions. So cute.
Tells more about you than me. :)
your college has either a piss poor system or you were a failure as a student.
