when was the last time a young director jumped on the scene like coogler and just started putting out dope films? of any race? this dude the next great director to me, and i cant think of a better choice for this movie. im sure the studio gonna interfere to some degree, you cant escape that, but the great directors will figure out how to smuggle their identity into it regardless.

:ooh:UUuuuuuuh oooOOH!!! Now they got their public black face to take the punches when they orchestrate the usual F#ckery and the backlash comes in.:martin: As much as I wanna be wrong I already know this film will be filled with lots & lots of that classic Hollywood bullsh#t. :whoa: Look, Im not here to ruin anyones excitement but I just wont believe a powerful character with an incredible backstory like this will be allowed to be portrayed to the point were he equally meets or even exceeds the original content. The irony is that white men created this character that literally personifies Black Excellence & WHITE MEN will make sure it won't be exactly that. :mindblown:




...I got my hopes up for Finn in Star wars but NEVER AGAIN!!:birdman: Probably gonna have T'challa be some white african tourist b!tch baby daddy who often abandons his fatherly duties to fullfill his uncontrollable desires to "Dab" & "Hit Da Quan" in the slums at some c00n club "coincidentally" called WAKANDA. SMFH :wtb:

Yeah Finn was a major let-down...really hope they just let T'Challa shine.

We can have all of these white characters being these perfect Mary Sues, but for black characters, they usually try to add all these caveats and "everyman" nonsense. fukk that. T'challa is KING!

Great to see a young talented black director take this step. I met Coogler a few years ago and know for a fact he's going to bring black people on his staff. People don't understand how important those intern and assistant positions are. Getting black people experience on sets is essential to changing how Hollywood operates.

Daps to the brother.
