Refreshing to see a different take on this movie that takes into account the absurd "politics" that are fooling people into thinking this is supposed to be anything other than a fun Marvel flick.

Too bad this'll probably be downvoted to hell since it aims to kill the buzz that's trending so hard right now.

This sub rides Marvel's dick to the moon every single time one of their films comes out. Why now that it's Black Panther are you acting like it's purely a politics thing?

Not acting like it’s purely a politics thing. Though the politics of it is propelling this movie’s consensus into something more than “it’s great!” (like most conversation around Marvel movies), but rather “it’s very important.” If it wasn’t for the politics, I’m sure the hype would still be there.

I get what you are saying, in a perfect world a movie like this would need the real world political angle. But we don't live in that perfect world. So the politics are important in how people will view this movie.

I am a 23-year-old white man. It would be easy for me to sit here and say that race shouldn't be an issue in movies. Because it isn't an issue for me. Because never have white men have not been represented in movies. So now that other groups are getting represented, I do think it is important to recognize and praise that. So that maybe the next generations can live in the perfect world where it is not important.
