Why would You even go watch a movie called Black Panther after watching trailers of said movie including almost only black characters… Why would you pay to see such a blackity black movie and then complain ekzlznendbjd this is too fucking dumb but at least they gave coins to Coogler so who tf cares
BP already made 1 billion before them it doesnt need them.
but see this fucking proves that hollywood needs to stop making mediocre movies with the chinese market in mind – they ruined all the potential of doctor strange for fear of offending chinese sensibilities, they routinely sideline black characters (in both plot AND marketing) for the sake of courting chinese audiences, they refuse to greenlight big budget movies with non-white main characters for fear of alienating the international box office, and for what? blackest franchise movie ever made and 1 billion dollars earned before it even hit china so maybe hollywood should take the damn lesson and stop shying away from making great movies with unique voices as opposed to the same white cookie cutter (supposedly) safe nonsense
these two little girls came into work today, both black, both with their hair in space buns. and i went “you guys look like a princess i know” and they sighed and went “tiana?” because they were so use to being compared to the only black princess and i went “no. shuri” and omg, the oldest one lit up like a christmas tree. she was like “shuri is my favorite! no one believes she’s a princess!”
this is why representation matters
UPDATE: The girls came back in yesterday after school got out and I was off. They had their hair in braids and I did the Wakanda salute to them and went “Princesses” and they did it back and went “Ma’am” and I love these girls. Their parents looked so happy omg
