With Russia completely gone and China boycotting the MCU they probably won't hit a billion outside of big crossover stuff like Avengers or NWH.I don't think it reaches a billion

Black boys have hundreds of actual real Black male role models not fictional characters.
Their dads, uncles, etc...? Yeah that's not working too well.
Cacs have action heroes everywhere in cinema and tv. Black people publicly have...... rappers, musicians, and athletes.
And Coogler doesn't even get the significance of what he has. He controls the only example in the media of a Black franchise where Black people are completely in charge and not subject to anyone.
Which cacs have with virtually all other movies and tv shows: Star Trek, Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, Game of Thrones, House of Cards, every doctor show, sci fi show, etc....
And I recall from when the first Black Panther came out some breh went to a theater and saw the carboard cutouts of the characters and wondering aloud:
Is this what's it's like for white people all the time?
Yes it is. They get to view themselves represented everywhere all the time in every conceivable role. Which boosts their egos to stratospheric levels.
So Black kids need the same representation and if Coogler wants to mess this up and run it into the ground then someone else needs to push straight Black male representation in cinema and tv shows.
Man SO the fukk WHATyeah thats my thing, Black boys DO NEED positive images, I was in the gym and seen a BP commercial with Riri and all black girls, which is fine but Jesus I never see shyt like this for black boys. So the shyt damn near has dudes censoring themselves on what Black boys need just for the fear of racist trying to ride us to shyt on their opps.
This Is not as black and white as y'all like to make itNo you see, that would require a minuscule amount of parenting. Blasphemy really.
Man SO the fukk WHAT
There's this mental space that has become more prevalent in internet discourse where nikkas censor themselves or bite their tongues because they're afraid they'll look like they disagree with an opp
Black men got this shyt the WORST
A nikka could hate pop tarts and will say shyt like "Well I actually hate pop tarts with my entire soul but Ben Shapiro hates pop tarts and I don't wanna look like I agree with that cac"
If you fukkin hate pop tarts say you FUKKIN HATE POP TARTS I don't think nikkas realize how weak it makes someone, especially a man, look to be afraid to have an opinion for fear of being accused of agreeing with opps
One of the reasons black men get shamed and henpecked so much is because at this point the entire world knows that shyt WORKS. They know black men tend to be overly reasonable and afraid to say shyt with their chest and will back down before long
Quit being afraid to say the sky is blue just because someone else says it
nikka calling folks expressing their thoughts = whining is some hoe shyt. Take that bullshyt to TLR
I'm not singling you out personally but your post bought that line of thinking to mind because I see it OFTENBreh I been one of the main nikkas on this site standing up for Black Men
before this shyt was cool
This Is not as black and white as y'all like to make it
Like it or not you share your child with media. Good parenting can only do so much, and usually that parenting ain't as good as some parents want to think it is
If you read this thread it was incessant and went past, "folks expressing their thoughts".nikka calling folks expressing their thoughts = whining is some hoe shyt. Take that bullshyt to TLR
Coogler did what he wanted to because he got that clout he didn't want to recast and ignored your concerns. lolTheir dads, uncles, etc...? Yeah that's not working too well.
