It's as though people outside the USA can clearly see the obvious PC message on the movie... and don't care about it.
And why in all hell are people calling it "the first black super-hero movie"... when it isn't? Must be because it belongs to a multi-billion franchise.
It's not fair to complain now when the exact same scenario happened last year with Wonder Woman. That too wasn't the first female super-hero movie but it's easier to advertise it as such even if it's not true. This year "racist" is the last year's "feminist". WW wasn't a bad movie but it surely wasn't as good as it's ratings suggest. How the BP will turn out is yet to be seen.
As for people outside the States not caring about the BP, well again the same can be said about Wonder Woman. True it earned big at home but worldwide only $409M (less than it earned domestically).
Facts

here, I'll make it easy for you. Check the words in Bold:
"And why in all hell are people calling it "the first black super-hero movie"... when it isn't? Must be because it belongs to a multi-billion franchise
"And why in all hell are people calling it "the first black super-hero movie"... when it isn't? Must be because it belongs to a multi-billion franchise.Because Black Panther is Marvel's First Black Superhero.
The point is people are calling it the FIRST black Superhero MOVIE. Which it isn't. And the culprits are the critics who are calling it that.
shareAnd the culprits are the critics who are calling it that.Not ALL critics, some critics. So what is it that you want? Should those critics print a retraction?
"Not ALL critics, some critics."
I said THE critics. Not ALL
NorrinRad....Black Panther is the first black superhero movie for sure casue all these that you mention
Blade
Blank-Man
M.A.N.T.I.S.
Spawn
Meteor Man
Pluto-Nash (Bit of 'o' stretch I know. Added for giggles and grins.)
Steel
Cat Woman
Hancock
None of these were heros, they are either villians or anti heros and not real heros
It's PR and marketing... The Studios spend millions getting this message out (marketing budgets are in the tens of millions, if not more, for each marvel movie).. The media are eating it up as well because it's a great story for them and any controversy will just get bonus oublicity and stories to cover...
Chill... It's just a movie... In a couple of months once the marketing dies down, movie fans can assess the movie for what it is... Just a nother Marvel movie...
You're reading way too much into this... It's just a marketing campaign and it worked well for Wonder Woman, so they're trying something similar...
The encouraging thing is that Coogler, the co-writer/director, is actually quite good at filmmaking judging from how good Creed is... So it is possible that if he has been given enough control that Black Panther could be good... we'll have to see it to judge for ourselves...
Don't get too caught up in the press and marketing... You'll ruin the fun of experiening movies for yourself and making your own mind...
And these are all just toy / comicbook movies... it's product...
And another one, a 2/5 from this Indian reviewer. Notice how some reviews on RT are labelled fresh but with a 2/5 score.

It's the first one showing.
Ultimately, it's more interesting to think about than it is to watch.

you have to know that Norrin can't see what his SJW glasses don't allow him to see.
