I'm scared of critters. A coworker had me talked into going once, and that very same week, the very same theater had a write up in the paper about how they had just gotten rid of a bedbug infestation. I know a sign when I see one. I'll buy the DVD, in fact I'll probably buy more than one because I want at least one unopened.
Wait... ALL the movie theaters in your city have creepy critters? :dunno: Just curious. I'm confused. :dunno:
Why not just pick a different theater? :dunno:

@Mello Mello Bro...a film series could be made off Killmonger alone. The brother graduated from undergrad early, went to MIT to study what...we don’t know. Joins the navy and became a SEAL and then even deeper clandestine groups to become a super fucking spy. He’s the closes thing to a male Black Widow that Marvel has put on camera.

T’Challa and Killmonger are the classic troupe of light and dark BUT the dark side having a twisted way of bringing righteousness to the world.

Was it dark? Or was it fighting fire with inferno?

And that’s what makes his character special. You could easily call him a hero. Black Americans can relate because our ancestors were stolen from the motherland and no one came to help us or save us. He was left with no one to help him. T’Chaka has a chance to make it right but decided to turn his back on him. A lot of Africans look down upon us because they feel we are not worthy because our ancestors were dumb enough to get caught. I had a Nigerian literally tell me that. Smh! So we can see things from Killmonger’s perspective very clearly. That pain, anger and resentment is a powerful agent.
Fuck all them niggas and they families

It's so sad man. I wish I could take that fucking herb be buried and see my dad again and just TALK to him. Ask him if he's proud of me. Ask him if he's been watching. Just tell him hi. that's it. If they were like you got 20 seconds. I'd take the 20 seconds.
shit even 10 seconds.
I had to walk out of the theater twice during those scenes.

I’m sorry

The Dora Milaje Costumes In ‘Black Panther’ has Some Filipino Elements
http://preen.inquirer.net/68542/dora-milaje-costumes-black-panther-filipino-elements

Okoye-Ayo-Dora-Milaje-768x405.jpg


One of Marvel’s senior visual development illustrators Anthony Francisco was actually born and raised in the Philippines. And in an interview, he said that he took inspiration from his relative’s home which was filled with African artifacts and Filipino tribal decor. Therefore, making the Dora Milaje costume a mix of two cultures.

Screen-Shot-2018-02-17-at-1.28.36-PM.png


The tabard on Okoye’s armor was inspired by the table runner of Anthony’s aunt. He grew up seeing the beading and design when he was growing up and eventually used it as a design peg.

One more element taken from Filipino culture are the gold rings hanging on Okoye’s armor (look closely by her thighs.) They are inspired by the good luck charms for superstitious beliefs. In that case, this is what we (Philipinos) call an “anting-anting.”

The movie is freaking amazing, I had the chills just watching it. And I almost cried a couple of times.

Did any of you had the same feelings watching Black Panther?

The last scene I felt it coming, I'm not no bitch about mine but that last line was phenomenal

I don't think anyone is sleeping there. The patrons have them on their bodies or clothes when they come in. All it takes is one pregnant female.

18 Mind-Blowing Details About The Dora Milaje Costumes In "Black Panther"
https://www.buzzfeed.com/crystalro/...ls-black-panther?utm_term=.faV3EJ8Y#.twRpogd6

Wakanda Forever!

If you’re one of the blessed many who’ve had the chance to see Black Panther, then I probably don’t need to explain to you that the badass Dora Milaje are one of the best parts of the movie. And, that’s saying a lot since, you know, the entire movie is effing amazing.

But, we wanted to know a little more about Wakanda’s elite warrior team, so we sat down with one of Marvel’s Senior Visual Development Illustrators, Anthony Francisco, to find out some behind-the-scenes facts about the Dora Milaje's now iconic big-screen look.

sub-buzz-31822-1518175813-1.png



1. Although there are only a few members of Marvel Studios' in-house Visual Development team, dozens more freelance artists helped design the look for the Dora Milaje.

sub-buzz-8494-1518172704-2.png

Some of the freelance artists who also contributed to the Dora Milaje's look include Concept Illustrator Karla Ortiz (who also designed the final look for Dr. Strange), Costume Concept Artist Phillip Boutte Jr. (who worked on other looks for the Dora Milaje), and Costume Concept Artist Keith Christensen (who created their buckle lion head design).


2. The Dora Milaje costumes were inspired by a fusion of both African and Filipino artifacts.

sub-buzz-9916-1518175120-4.png


Francisco grew up in the Philippines, and one of his relatives had a lot of African artifacts and Filipino tribal decor in their house, so he considers the Dora Milaje's design very personal.


3. And the tabards were partially inspired by the beading in friendship bracelets, too.
You know, like the ones we all made as kids in school.

sub-buzz-8278-1518173841-9.png



4. The angles on the costumes’ design, like in the shoulder armor, was inspired by the martial arts, in particular the look of samurai armor.

sub-buzz-10779-1518176679-5.png


5. Even the Dora Milaje’s split-toed shoes are meant to look like samurai, or even ninja, shoes.

sub-buzz-31793-1518177771-11.png


6. Another inspiration for this unique footwear came from modern day running “toe” shoes.
Francisco said he was really into running at that time, and loved the idea of that kind of modernity playing into their footwear.

sub-buzz-10836-1518177963-9.png



7. In the comics, there’s another version of the Dora Milaje uniforms that are blue and green.
However, Francisco preferred the warmth of the red and orange uniforms seen in other comics.

sub-buzz-8694-1518173049-4.jpg


8. When initially conceptualizing the look for the Dora Milaje, Francisco illustrated a key frame where he imagined Nakia and Okoye "hunting side-by-side like lionesses."

(A key frame is a piece of art that gives a sense of the look and tone to a scene.)

sub-buzz-31038-1518220495-1.jpg



9. Another influence on the design for the Dora Milaje was the Black Panther costume in Captain America: Civil War. The Black Panther costume in Civil War was designed by Marvel Studios Head of Visual Development, Ryan Meinerding.



10. The Dora Milaje uniforms were designed to be modular, i.e. made from several pieces.
The idea being that they could fit every body type since mobility was very important to the design...'cause, ya know, when you're kicking-ass you need to move!

sub-buzz-15380-1518185519-1.jpg


11. Okoye has gold armor (versus the rest of the elite squad’s silver), which denotes her rank as the Dora Milaje’s general.

sub-buzz-31414-1518175564-1.jpg


12. You’ll also notice, because she is a superior ranking officer, Okoye’s uniform has different coloring and is also a little more ornate.

Okoye on the left, Nakia on the right.



13. The pattern and the beading on Okoye's tabard was inspired by a table runner in Francisco’s aunt’s house.
He had distinct memories of seeing that design growing up in the Philippines.

sub-buzz-9766-1518175991-1.png


14. And her chest piece is meant to be like a bullet-proof vest.

sub-buzz-15220-1518184700-14.png



15. The gold rings on Okoye’s uniform are meant to be trinkets inspired by good luck charms from Filipino culture.

The idea being they were attached to the uniform for superstitious beliefs.

sub-buzz-10773-1518178135-17.png



16. Because Okoye is a traditionalist, Francisco wanted her look to feel symmetrical and have a solid foundation, so the use of a spear as her weapon was very purposeful. In the comics, the Dora Milaje use a variety of weapons.

sub-buzz-9842-1518220507-3.jpg



17. Conversely, when Nakia is in a Dora Milaje uniform, her weapon is a pair of rings.
Francisco explained he wanted it to portray that she was more open to new ideas, vs. the sharp solidity of Okoye’s spear.

sub-buzz-12008-1518178289-1.png



18. And finally, ironically, when Francisco was creating illustrations of Okoye in the development phase, he had painted Danai Gurira into the character...before she was even cast!

Francisco is a big fan of Gurira and her character Michonne in The Walking Dead.

A token white guy. A person who they saved and ended up getting his hand held to help and do a small part

Had no power was irrelevant and unable to command or demand anything

For the 1st time in a movie ever the white guy was not the savior in Africa he was lucky to be alive and clearly the most vulnerable mentally and physically wherever he was this includes and especially around the women

No love for the colonizer

I liked how that statement was left in limbo until the ending scene. Good continuity.
But, when they said it, you already knew they were referring to Bucky, and this makes him available for the next Avengers flick. (even though he was already in the trailer)
Continuity is everything in movies of this sort.

Shit was dope. I haven't read all of the comments so forgive me if I do any retreads on certain topics. The conflict between Killmonger and T'Challa reminded of the clash between Caesar and Koba in Dawn of The Planet of the Apes with Koba ultimately being right, kinda like the MLK vs. Malcolm X debate depicted in X men as well. Michael B. Jordan impressed the hell outta me and I had to ride with Killmonger for reals. Dude is going to be a huge star after this, hell so will the whole cast. Loved the chase scene and the dogfight using the holograms kinda like TRON very inventive. I haven't heard people do this many repeat viewings since the first Matrix dropped.
