I see posts in Black Groups were people are telling folks to not only buy multiple tickets opening weekend, but to -NOT Bootleg- this move so it can make major $$$$.

This will be the second Marvel film I will probably skip in the theater. Dr Strange was the first; unfortunately this character just does not do anything for me.

Prepares for accusations of racism.

I'll see this, like all the others. Not sure I missed one yet. This should be the same. Looks a little different with the whole jungle sets. Plus he was great in CW...

d2cheer

Yea I was thinking that myself!

Abob Teff

It's OK, I'm sure you have friends who will see it.

i see what you did there...

No real desire to see this. Black Panther isn't even a D-list character, he's more like a Z-list character. This is the most meh I've been on a Marvel movie since Dr. Strange.

I know absolutely nothing about this character, beyond what has been said in this thread. Considering none of the Marvel movies have strayed too far from their standard formula, I imagine I'll like this one about as much as the others. It's a double-edged sword for Marvel, some people are tired of the same ol' stuff, some people like me know we'll most likely enjoy it based on the previous output.

Doesn't matter what "list" the character is on from the comics as long as the movies make the character interesting; I never read much about Black Panther in the comics, but from his appearance in Civil War and the trailer we got, it looks pretty cool to me.

Given the box office take of movies like Dr. Strange and Spider-Man, and even simple stuff like Ant-Man, looks like people aren't tiring of the Marvel "formula" overall despite a few more vocal people in recent years.

Danai looks pretty great, but Lupita....holy cow.

Abob Teff

"Mocap" ???

Shouldn't it be "brocap"?

Baron Of Hell

I didn't recognize Danai without the wig. She is looking hot.

Make Black Panther white

I'd prefer if he were Egyptian that way Joel Edgerton could be the star and Sigourney Weaver would play his mother.

How about just leaving characters alone and keeping them as they already exist.

This shouldn't be an issue at all.


Now, actually ON TOPIC...

Black Panther (the movie) looks REALLY good. I have been looking forward to this movie since they first announced it. The character is a badass AND a statesman! After Civil War I got even more excited as they really did a great job bringing him to life!

Draven

What? I'm not even a huge comic fan anymore and I know Black Panther is pretty up there in the pantheon. Plus he's awesome in Civil War, which was a great way to introduce him to the movie fans.

Also Dr. Strange was awesome, and that's a character I knew even less about than BP.

B5Erik

Yeah, Black Panther was an Avenger starting in the late 60's. He's a pretty big deal. We're not talking about Iron Fist here... (And I did like Iron Fist in the comics while I was still actively buying new comics.)

Inhumans99

No need to change to white...there is already a character in the MU called White Tiger, have them stand next to each other in the sequel.

fumanstan

I don't know who others consider part of the "pantheon" or Marvel superheroes, but growing up (80's and 90's) and casually reading comics and watching all the cartoons, Black Panther would be pretty far down the list of characters or Avengers that I knew and recognized.
