Marvel's Black Panther (out now)

Black Panther IMAX tickets booked for Sunday. :datass:

Booked some for late Saturday morning. Can't wait.

Just got out from a showing of black panther

Well, Black Panther was pretty strawberry floating great.

For anyone wondering, there are 2 post-credit scenes.

Black panther 6/10

Good

Bad

These are my opinions, maybe I went in expecting something different as I hadn’t seen any trailers. This just wasn’t what I expected or wanted.

Nice op Mori :dread:

The DM loved it.

All the politicising of Black Panther just seems unnecessary to me.

It's a movie, looks like a pretty good movie (not seen it yet), but it really is just a movie, not a world changing activist dickhead march inducing thing, and a lot of people (on all sides) seem to be getting hysterical over it for no clear reason other than the fact that they have nothing more important to be focusing on.

If you can't see what's so culturally important about the first ever major Hollywood blockbuster with an almost all-black cast that's not about slavery or suffering then I feel sorry for you.

I thought it was really good. It was a little different from the usual Marvel fair, which was refreshing. The humour was good and a lot less forced than Thor 3 IMO. It had some really strong moments and good fights too. Characters were great, I really loved Shuri and Okoye especially.

Did anyone stay till the end of the credits? I couldn't and I'm curious to know what the second scene was.

No, it’s not just a movie, it’s a significant cultural milestone. It’s naive to suggest otherwise, especially in the world’s current climate.

I really need to start Ta-Nehisi Coates' run of Black Panther that I bought an absolute age ago. I think Christopher Priest's arc bogged the character down for me.

Looking forward to this one, first Marvel movie in quite a while I've wanted to bother with.

You should check out the Rise of the Black Panther mini series that just started the other month it's pretty good too so far. Think it's only gonna be five issues.

Never read a solo BP story. In fact I think the only one I've read with the character in has been avengers v x-men where he is part of the illuminati

Yeah, I feel like you've missed the point a tad

Is it standalone from the main current run? I'll (eventually) take a look.

That reminds me, the Black Panther parts to the Avengers Secret Wars books was one of the few parts I liked on that whole run. Something about the Christopher Priest series felt incredibly dated and just uninteresting.

Yeah it's sort of like Batman: Year One and deals with his early years as the king.

A few kids staring into the camera in a hut, run out with big smiles calling 'white wolf, white wolf'. Bucky emerges from the hut to meet Shuri who says he still has much to learn.
