These nikka nerds are taking this Black Panther way shyt too far

[Guizmo]

Im sure im about to be negged but why all the hype ? It's just a movie made by white people and im pretty sure that 90% of the team that produced the movie is white.

You care to expound on that, breh?

I feel in some twisted way the movie will be used by some as a way to "reconnect" with some idealized version of Africa that was created in the West. The fact that you said that some critics said it "100 % African" shows that some will go that route. But to my knowledge the movie was made by US companies/director and majority of actors. I guess not one scene was shot in Africa. So I fear it's some sort of projection of western ideas onto Africa, while the real Africa is there and real African movies exist. But I guess not many people actually research those.

I have no issue with the movie per se, because representation is important, Black actors will get paid and get worldwide exposure, and yes it's cool to see new things but I'll see as it is : a super-hero hollywood blockbuster movie hat just happens to be more black-themed.

fukking losers man.....

If we aint owning and controlling it and cashing checks from it..... It doesnt mean shyt.

Just another cac money grab.

Sell black culture to black folks.

The oldest money grab in the book.

But here's the problem with that, you start to go down a rabbit hole when you play that game, because in actuality, the phone or computer you're using to post on here wasn't made by a Black owned company, the internet service you're using isn't Black owned. I'd rather see Black Panther than another slave movie that wins an oscar.

Exactly. That logic would make you miserable about owning everything. Toxic and useless line of thinking.

 

[Insensitive]

Stan lee is one of my heroes and Jack Kirby as well as John buscema are fukking legendary.

I don't care if one of the coolest white dudes breathing came up with the idea of "The Black Panther".
It's a fukking cool idea, end of story.

i genuinely think coli nikkas are doing the most with this "but it was created and its owned by cacs" just as much as the girl in that stupid tweet in the opening post

everyone with general knowledge and common sense knows its creators and IP owners are white. the support for the movie is coming off the strength of it having a black lead, and majority black cast as well as director. it is a fictional black hero and self sufficient and thriving black nation being translated to the major screen as part of the most successful film universe ever. It is also an opportunity for people to show hollywood and critics that black stories/films can be successful without being slavery or hood related or some tyler perry dressed as a woman movie. black people deserve more stories. stories that aren't inherently tied and limited to just suffering or buffoonery. we deserve to be superheroes, scientists, space farers and explorers, all these other heroic and/or admirable things that others get to be on fictional stories all the time.

y'all nikkas resenting people being legit happy about taking their kids and brothers to watch a superhero that looks like them are just as dumb as the hotep/blavity/shea butter twitter y'all complaining about.

go watch a movie with a black cast, support it, help it be successful and proven commercially viable. that will get us leverage. then we can flip the table and make depictions of stories and characters created by us with major money behind it.

but yeah, tweets like the one in the OP are ridiculously stupid, hostile in nature and counter-productive, and ironically hurt the movie by diminishing the pool of potential viewers. these fake woke nikkas on twitter be doing the most for some retweets in their circle jerk cycle.

The bolded is what this is really about.

You probably should be negged but only for acting like an attention whore ig thot.

 

[YouMadd?]

That "ItsShirley" women has some sort of emotional or psychological disorder. She proceeded to lie and say people were calling her a "******" because of her tweets when you can clearly look at the mentions. Twitter is full of looney tunes...

 

[TELL ME YA CHEESIN FAM?]

Between smart dumb nikkas, purposely disingenuous cacs and " I just discovered my blackness sophomore year" shea butter bytches, the internet is bound and determined to ruin my potential enjoyment of this movie. Its still gonna do numbers though and I will view and probably like the movie regardless of hotep "let's build Wakanda " and Blavity try hard hot takes. Can we just watch the fukking movie??!

Seems like you have already made up your mind about the movie
You're gonna love it no matter what
Even if it sucks you gonna tell us it was lit
You dumb nikkas crack me up

 

[EndDomination]

Black Panther is owned and created by a white man
Just because he's the first black superhero don't create an ownership for the culture type thing with this movie.
Ya'll didn't give a shyt about Blade after all

I'm not sure what you mean by "y'all didn't give a shyt about Blade," it was one of the most successful (if not the most successful) Marvel movie series of the 20th century.

 

[Bryan Danielson]

Black Panther is owned & produced by cacs tho?

But the movie was written, casted, directed, and edited by blacks tho

Soooooooooo

[NZA]

this has nothing to do with nerds

 

[GrindtooFilthy]

Man fukk shea butter twitter

You give this damn movie all the praise in the world but when a real ass movie like birth of a nation comes on nikkaS IS SILENT

Representation is cool. Ownership is better. The last Fast and Furious movie was directed by a black man, F Gary Gray, and it grossed over 1.2 billion at the box office. 12th highest grossing movie of all time. But is that a collective win for black people when we have no ownership over the franchise? Its a great personal accomplishment for the director and black excellence though.

 

[Brandeezy]

I'm more "triggered" about the broad who tweeted that we as black people should yell and shout in the theater because that's why the movie was made and it should be treated as such

I get reacting to certain scenes and shyt but if nikkas start dancing and talking during every scene then
