@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.

So much more couldve been done with this character in future Black Panther movies in the MCU.

Maybe we will see him again, because in the comic he was killed and brought back to life, so ill hold out hope this happens later on.

Or maybe Thanos does something and brings him back in Infinity Wars. Point is we all feel the same way about his characater coming back.

I hear your frustration

but you can't place that on Marvel disney or coogler or Jordan

that is society fault..THEY can't handle that...never have..

And to be truly iconic?

Erick has to have shades.

the REASON you have emotion and make a connection

is because YOU are filling in the space left for you be brilliant acting directing and production.

If he went too far?

you and the audience couldn't sympathize him cause now you just alienating.

there is enough there for him to be a monster

but you understand WHY he is a monster

No to justify it but to UNDERSTAND.

This is something WE need to do with our OWN people.

to UNDERSTAND why we are like we are..

and to do BETTER

I see a lot of that in this thread filling in the blanks. Some of it was there some wasnt but I see how people feel about it.

Society can handle it, may not want to (especially in this pc climate) but they can and Marvel is the perfect platform to do it, Coogler did well bringing in this commentary across cultures.

Movies, movie characters are suppose to CHALLENGE, thats the whole point, thats what makes us feel those emotions. Takes you out your comfort zone.

And your right theres enough there to understand he’s a monster, but thats it. Marvel falls back on its typicall classic doppelgänger trope representing the worst of the hero in Killmonger.

Marvel has a history of having weak ass villians and outside of Loki, Killmonger is a good 2nd spot for me (maybe 3rd once Infinity War drops) even tho they still slacked on him too. So yes I do blame Marvel, Disney, Coogler and the writers of BP. Once again lack of screen time eats away chances of establishing a great villian.

But the fact Killmongers character stands out, tells me a lot about Michael B Jordans ability as an actor, and Coogler as a director. Despite Marvel falling back on its typical “evil version of the super hero” trope and cliches he was able to elevate the role to the point where I don't think most in here recognize thats what marvel did. Difference here is Killmonger whoops ass and proves he can become the black panther lol

Meet Okoyé's Stuntwoman >> Janeshia Adam-Ginsyard :yes:

For the Full Interview....
https://blackgirlnerds.com/bgn-interview-janeshia-adams-ginyard/

2hmlms5.jpg


2016 saw Janeshia Adam-Ginsyard cast as one of the Adored Ones, a/k/a the Dora Milaje, as well as Danai Gurira‘s stunt double in Marvel’s Black Panther. More recently, Janeshia received a lot of social media attention when she attended the Hollywood premiere of Black Panther in an outfit designed and made by Tamara Cobus with accessories by Tonymech Acosta, both part of the film’s costume team.

Before becoming a professional stunt woman in 2010, Janeshia was an award-winning athlete in college. She even had the honor of being the brakewoman of the first ever all-Black female American National bobsled team from 2006 to 2007. Since transitioning to stunts she’s doubled for actresses like Angela Basset and Aisha Hinds on American Horror Story, True Blood, and now Fox’s hit drama 9-1-1, not to mention her featured role in the recent Lexus Super Bowl commercial.

Janeshia reprises her role as Danai’s stunt double in the upcoming Avengers: Infinity War, which releases into theaters May 4th, 2018, and will also be doubling for Aisha Hinds in next year in Godzilla: King of Monsters. :yes:

Dialect coaches were provided, including Mr. Kani and his son, Atandwa, who plays a young T’Chaka in the film.

So the actor who played T'Chakka and the younger T'Chakka who killed the brother are father and son in real life!

WE disagree with the time line.

Fam, he went after Klaw the MINUTE he found out

Remember the council was about to VETO that sh&t

They been dragging they feet for decades

They couldn't or wouldn't find him.

Civil war Bucky was RIGHT THERE...

Baki was so happy BP hopped up so fast

He knew his boy had his back and his woman Co signed

He a buster.

He lost faith when THOSE SPECIFIC LOVED ONES HAD NEVER LET HIM DOWN.

YOU would have said Playa, what happened?

That slippery colonist got away again I f*cked up. We gonna handle it let me deal with MY NATION FIRST and you and me will get on this.

You know I got you.

And fam...you would be suspicious as hell when suddenly ASAP Rocky come up with a bag.

Thank you for killing him I owe you I won't kill you let's go the capital and hash this out.

Wait wait wait I appreciate you erasing that cac but what u doing?

Disrespecting my brother my king my girl chill cuz. I don't know u like that?

You not even official!

Again I understand Eric fully but I can't stand betrayal from family like that on Baki part. That is one of the many internal issues we have as a people.

I got love for killmonger but he WAS an outsider. Unfairly or not. It was what it was...

Maybe he could have been redeemed.

But Baki betrayal was his own and uncalled for.
And keep in mind, the only reason Killmonger had Klaw at all...

...was because T'Challa found and captured him, Killmonger attacked, damn near killed Shuri and SHOT THE KING.

Wife. Both of them
And in Africa...its okay.

Mayne I went to a west African friends bd party and her little cousin was there. Girl was 20, tall, gorgeous, dark chocolate skin with red undertones, high cheek bones, round forehead, almond eyes, full lips and BANGIN body.

She was so fine the WOMEN were taum bout how fine she was.

So I found myself at a table with her mother and told her her daughter was beautiful. The moms told me she's single. I said oh I'm sorry I'm married. Moms said what's the problem.

I have to keep telling myself to keep in mind of the cultures I interact with...cause I might compliment myself into trouble.

Anybody else think T’Challa was the least interesting person in his own film?

1. Killmonger
2. General Okoye
3. Shuri
4. M’Buku
5. Nakia

All more memorable than T’Challa in Black Panther IMO


tumblr_p4bfxexOaL1r2xz9jo5_r1_250.gif



DEEP

Hit a lot of black Americans who identify with the pain of feeling abandoned by Africa.


We've gotten so used to supporting characters being one-dimensional and blending into the background that when we get supporting character that are actually well fleshed out and done very well they damn near steal the movie. But yes the general, Shuri and Nakia really did steal the movie.

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

Both. Like @playahaitian wrote, Killmonger killed anyone who was in his way or who he thought would be useful to achieving his goals. His inferno and desire to reshape the world would’ve brought about a massive amount of death. Yes, he had all the tools to be a Panther but he didn’t have the tools to be king. Fact: we don’t know what his further interests were. I bet that although his desires were wrapped in the desires to “use the knowledge and resources to help Black people world wide,” ultimately, I think he wouldn’t rest unless there was some war to fight or someone to manipulate.

Wait, bedbugs?
In a theater? Who sleeping in the establishments?!

That sounds like a tip for authorities...

Happened here in nyc. We had to close a whole theater on 42nd Street because of bed bugs. That happened back in 2012 but I haven't been to that theater since.

Bed Bugs ....?? WTF happened to this thread ??

tumblr_p49cev8YtJ1urawtlo5_540.gif


T’Chaka kills his kin at the start of the film. Then his son T’Challa kills his kin at the end.

....but they manage to use their advanced technologies to save/heal two CACs ?!?

Loki creates all kinds of havoc and trouble yet Thor always protects his “kin”

Not so subtle message Marvel

He wanted to save him

Killmonger refused and wanted to die

My brother, I worked in Angola for 6 years before I got married. I saw a lot of beautiful sisters there and you can have more than one wife there.

Our office was full of fine sisters. Only problem was there was/Is a caste system there. Beautiful dark skinned sisters wearing the worst weaves ever to compete with the half Portuguese sisters. Believe me, they didn't need it cause they were naturally gorgeous. But you know, colonizers going to colinize.

Taking place right after the events of Captain America: Civil War T'Challa / Black Panther
takes the throne as king of Wakanda,but being king comes with a set of challenges and unforseen circumstances.

Director/writer Ryan Coogler and writer Joe Robert Cole have crafted a compelling story coupled with a super hero movie.
A story that includes betrayal,loyalty,familial and tribal turmoil,and secrets that can alter a family and kingdom.
While not being preachy the film gets it's points across about racism,but it's also a celebration of black culture.
The cast : Chadwick Boseman,Michael B. Jordan,Lupita Nyong'O,Danai Gurira,Daniel Kaluuya,
Letitia Wright,Winston Duke,Angela Bassett,Andy Serkis, Forest Whitaker and Martin Freeman
all bring something to the table.There is a joy and intensity to their performances that drew me to each of them.It made me invest in them.
We are presented with a villain Michael B. Jordan as N'Jadaka / Erik "Killmonger" Stevens in which when you look at the foundation of the character you understand his motivations,but disagree with the path he takes.
I loved how the film displayed the strength of love for country and family.
The action sequences were stunning,the tribal challenges were intense and drove me to the edge of my seat.
There are great points about personal responsibility.How much can you give to the world and still be true to yourself and your countrymen? Should i remain isolated or help my fellow man?
The film is visually stunning great costume design from Ruth Carter.Along with good touches of humor and words and moments that definitely struck a few emotional chords.

My only problems with the film the CGI was off in a few sequences and there were a few predictable moments.

The film breezes by i definitely didnt feel the films 2 hour and 20 minute running time.

In the end i felt i got a sleek and involving super hero film,but also a message about sincerity and genuinely wanting to unite people.It's the kind of positivity we all desperately need right now.

So rejoice and enjoy Black Panther because this type of film making we dont see often.

Scale of 1-10 a 9

Just came back from seeing it.. haven't seen a lick of this thread, so idk if I'm the first one to say it, but Michael B. Jordan sucked in this. His acting chops are subpar at best. He shouldn't be allowed past made for TV movies on Hallmark channel but I digress.

Outside of that, the movie was excellent.

I'll be back later to check this thread out entirely.
Ok we got one.

I knew you people would show up.
