I understand what y'all saying but if a man kills innocent people, no matter what the motivation is. He is a villain.
He cannot be right. If he does it repeatedly, then he is evil.
Magneto is a villain. Let's be real about that.
Killmonger has a point but he is a villain.
Loki is a villain. (Remember he had a point too. He was lied to all his life).
So, would that make T'Chaka a villain as well? You looking at things black & white when there's plenty of gray.
Yeah I completely undrerstand
the brother Bomani raised this point
and I was disappointed
because if some white boys said the same we wouldn't be so damn literal and dismissive
why can we NOT have a serious conversation about the building our own Wakanda?
It is an IDEA
EVERYTHING starts with a spark.
Haiti revolution wouldn't have happen if they listened to all the reasons they COULD NOT SUCCEED.
It is a GOOD conversation to have
about personal responsibility recesses investment education black dollar banking being INSULAR respecting ALL of our Blackness etc etc...
What pisses me off about that bullsh*t talking point about there is no such thing about Wakands
Yeah WE KNOW.
Its about the IDEA and this backlash is AWFULLY familiar to the hate on Jay Z 4:44
notice a trend here?
Black folks drug dealing shooting killing f*cking drinking money phones?
Fine
Self empowerment?
STUPID
Makes you think.
I was one of those who had a problem with 4:44. Not the actual album itself, BTW. My reasoning was due to the fact that Jay-Z has been HIGHLY influential in music (not just rap or hip-hop) for a decade plus now, however, it took his wife to make her "Confessions" album for him to copy that & do that same.
Add onto that that Jay could have been kicking this knowledge albums ago (and yes, I know he puts in little tidbits here & there on all his album but so does every rapper), but rode with the ignorance until he saw positive hip-hop start selling again.
It seems that Jay-Z likes to ride waves & this 4:44 was just him riding that "Lemonade"/Kendrick Lamar wave.
When he goes full radical & drops a pro-militant album with no reason...like Nas' "Untitled/******" album, then I'll show him proper respect. As for right now...he's in the same boat as those studio copycats that dickride a trend for sales.
Ya'll caught the TRUMP diss in the FIRST after credits scene right?
"Wakanda will no longer watch from the shadows. We cannot. We must not. We will work to be an example of how we as brothers and sisters on this Earth should treat each other. Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe."
I really thought NOBODY caught that. Speaking with a guy next to me after the movie, he didn't. Glad to see I was wrong.
BTW, I got to build with SOOOOOO many brothers & sisters after the movie.
It was like a HBCU town hall. And nothing but love. Even the few white folks there were building too. Just listening & learning. No passive/aggressive bs, no "I know better than you" attitude, just humble as fuck & willing to listen/learn.
This movie could be a stepping stone to a whole lot more in the future...
Because if we keeping it real one of the MAIN reasons he's even doing this shit is because Nakia was not going to stay in Wakanda otherwise.
I'd love him to get advice from Killmonger. They could show Killmonger's final resting place with African ancestors who chose death over being slaves as well as slaves themselves who died
I made that point as one of my negatives. I didn't like how it took Nakia leaving to put shit in place. Especially after the whole Killmonger deal.
And Killmonger, if he's dead (I don't think he is), partook of the herb...he should show up in the ancestral plane. He was, for a short time, a Black Panther.
Ayo had filmed a flirtatious lesbian scene... with Okoyé.
Thank God Ryan Coogler dropped it... during the 'final editing' phase.
‘Black Panther’ Actor Says Her Character’s Queer Flirtation Scene Was Deleted

“
Black Panther” actor
Florence Kasumba has confirmed that she filmed a scene in which her character, Ayo — head of security for King T’Challa (Chadwick Boseman) — flirted with a female general (Danai Gurira). “If the makers would have wanted everyone to see the scene, it would have been in the movie,” Kasumba told
Vulture, noting that additional scenes also did not make the final product, now in theaters. “What their reason is, I can’t tell you, because nobody told me about whether [that scene is] in or not.”
They should have announced this two weeks ago to ward off the b.s. "No LGBT" comments they were using to try to limit the movie's appeal. It all turned out fine in the end, though.
you can't sit on the edge of a nation that advanced and not have a raised level of awareness and intelligence. I loved the theme of respect that the M'baku character was used to portray. When he came to challenge, he called Shuri out as a child who lacks respect for tradition. And later on, his whole position towards T'Challa was one of earned respect..like....I saw chinks in your armor, so I came to call you out and make my challenge but you won fair and square, you earned the crown. Then when they came to ride for the nation at the end, it was really on some we still Wakanda and I'll be damned if a nigga that aint ever stepped foot here gone hold the crown before me.
The very best part was, at the end of the movie, M'Baku was accepted as one of the council. After centuries of neglect, T'Chaka united Wakanda & began to move the country forward in this new world.
