Why all this about the release of a movie that happens to portray a black man as a super hero? Doesn't this thread show just how fucked up and racist many whites still are. All up in arms over a black fictional character. We can't even make up something without you punk ass white racists running your mentally unstable mouths. You pricks can make up a man of steel , STEEL mind you, that can fly, a man who is like a bat, a man who can live under water, a woman with superhuman powers that flies, A man who runs so fast he flames up, a man made of rocks, another man mad out of rubber, a man who can turn into a spider but we can't make up one character without hearing all this dumb ass white bread bullshit.
"We can't even make something up"? Were you involved in the creation of Black Panther? Are you Stan Lee or Jack Kirby?
Also, I'm wondering what characters you are talking about here. "A man who runs so fast he flames up," is that a mashup of Flash and the Human Torch? A "man made out of rubber," is that supposed to be Plastic Man or Mr. Fantastic? "A man who can turn into a spider," is that your description of Spider Man?
Yeah, there are some racists who can't deal with a mostly black Marvel movie. That's an unfortunate reality.
Don't play silly white boy sematic games with me Montrovant. And you know exactly what I was talking about when I was describing characters.
Semantics are race related now?
Actually, I do not know what you are talking about. I don't know of a comic book character that "runs so fast he flames up." The Human Torch doesn't run fast, but he does "flame up." The Flash and Quicksilver run fast, but they do not "flame up." I don't know of a comic book character that is a "man made out of rubber." Mr. Fantastic and Plastic Man can both bend and stretch their flesh, but aren't made out of rubber. I also don't know of a comic book character that is "a man who can turn into a spider." There are various versions of Spider Man, but he doesn't turn into a spider, he just gained powers from a spider bite which are somewhat related to spiders.
Just to be clear, Superman isn't actually made of steel, and Batman isn't "like a bat," assuming those are the characters you were talking about.
You didn't address the question of who the "we" is that made up Black Panther. Stan Lee created the character with Jack Kirby. Stan Lee also created Spider Man, and they created Mr. Fantastic, and the Human Torch, and the Thing.
Your seeming ignorance about comic book characters has nothing to do with race.
To be fair, all of the characters you've described could have existed. There are and have been thousands of different comic book characters, with various writers and story lines. You might have meant Man-bat instead of Batman. There might be a story in which one of the various speedsters burst into flames from the friction of their movement. One of the many magic-based characters may have turned themselves into a spider, or one of the various shape-shifting characters may have done so. However, I doubt that is where your descriptions came from.
He apparantley made enough sense for you to easily understand as I did which characters he made reference to.
I believe that his point was that all of the other characters exist in the imaginations of their creators, but as soon as a black oriented character is brought to life in a movie, and even though irs fantasy, in the ignorant small minds of far too many, the character is "based on Black supremacy" or "the ratings of the movie were biased"..
Or some other silly BS that obviously undermines the emotional fragility of some of the ignorant bigots who post here.
That is what I believe he is stating.
That's fine, but that doesn't change the various mistakes in the descriptions of those characters. Nor does it make pointing out those mistakes somehow based on race.
And I believe the movie ratings and US revenue probably did have some degree of "bias," although I don't think that's a good word for it. Rather, I think that at least some of the reason a portion of the audience and critics watched and enjoyed the movie is because of the racial makeup of the cast/director. I feel the similarly about Wonder Woman: some of the audience and critical acclaim for that movie I believe comes from the main character being a woman and the director being a woman. Both movies were pretty good (I think Black Panther was better), but if they weren't milestones of a sort, I don't think they would have received quite the same degree of acclaim. Some people enjoy the movie (or enjoy it more) for its social impact.
The idea that Black Panther is based on black supremacy is, of course, ridiculous.
