The poster reminds me of something Struzan would've painted. Perhaps just a touch too busy, but I like it. Looking forward to what looks to be a pretty serious film.

I predict that this movie is going to seriously piss off a lot of white people for reasons they can't fully articulate.

Otherwise, I'm guessing that Marvel kept it from being more political than it could have been.

I get what Oldboy is saying. Marvel uses the same poster template over and over with a collage of characters. I know poster design has really declined over the years, but Marvel's marketing department is particularly lazy when it comes to this.
I've only seen Chadwick Boseman in Civil War but he has one of the most non-descript faces I've ever seen on an actor. Everyone else on that poster is very distinctive, but he could totally blend into a crowd without anyone knowing.

I even doubt the advertisement in China will be significant... for no specific reason

First, loved the Tolkien joke. Top notch.
Second, really liked the new trailer - looks like they are really going all-out with wakanda, which is awesome.
Only thing I didn't like was showing the villain as a mirror image of BP. Reminds me of Ant-Man. Just fighting a dude in the same suit, with basically the same powers. That makes for a weak villain, so I hope the movie makes it more than that.

The ethnic make-up of the cast and characters is irrelevant - it just looks like a really good movie.
I'm glad to see that some people are getting more out of it than that, but the movie looks like a big time winner on it's own merits.

I find it genuinely fascinating that Marvel/Disney have made what looks to be an Afrofuturist cyberpunk film as a franchise tentpole. I can't really think of any films that deal with Afrofuturism to any significant degree, so this will be something we've never seen onscreen before now.

I am liking the look of this and get the feeling they are keeping a lot of the wow moments out of trailers until the release is just around the corner. 2018 is gonna be a massive year for Marvel.
