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?

/r/movies:

'DAE Winter Soldier le political thriller and get an Oscar nom?' 'Dr Strange is a surrealist masterpiece and Thor is totes Shakespearean.'

Also /r/movies:

'Black Panther is over hyped!' 'DAE Marvel movies now suck?'

It is a political thriller.

Like, legit, the political thriller is not an inherently dignified genre like people make it out to be. It literally just means "any thriller with a possible political relation". 12 Days of the Condor is a bunch of action setpieces strung together by a plot about government organizations and dealings, and yet it's the genre's defining work.

It's annoying when people use the term as if automatically makes TWS an amazing movie, but it doesn't make TWS NOT a political thriller.

It would help if it were a thriller first rather than a straight action-comedy.
