[QUOTE=XPac;3809619]If you have stories taking place in africa, you're almost certainly going to show some black characters commuting criminal behavior. Behavior that can be considered stereotypical. But in the super hero genre, crime happens. Thieves, murderers, and on rare occasion even rapists. I think what turns those negative issues into positive ones is when you see people rise up to end such behavior.
The thing to take away isn't that there are black kidnappers and rapistd, but rather that there were black women who rose up to stop them.[/QUOTE]
[B]uh huh, so tell me xpac where did I say anything about black Characters committing criminal behavior being offensive? I said do you honestly think that MCU black panther would be the smash hit it is right bownif it portrayed Tchalla and Wakanda how Coates did.
I never said it's offensive that crime happens in BPs book, as much as you wish I did so that your response even made the tiniest bit of sense. I said it's offensive that Coates out treehouse rape camps, contrived misogyny, forced gender inequality, and a utter chaos with Tchalla giving audience to known despots in how to handle the situation.. all those there are about as stereotypical Africa as you can get. I'm surprised gang bangers and crack didn't show up with how offensive coates was aiming [/B]

The bangers got covered in the Zenzi origin story.

We did get drugs in McGregors run.
ANd human trafficking IS a crime... just as murder and kidnapping and drugs. All of which can be considered negative stereotypes... but again, that sort of thing can happen in stories. Kingpin in a lot of ways is a walking stereotype too from a certain perspective.
As far as the movie potraying T'Challa and Wakanda the way Coates did... it would make sense in the first movie. I DO however think it would in the sequel. And if it hypothetically was a take on Coates story, then yeah I would say expect it to be a smash hit. I don't expect it to be as big a hit as the first movie... but I don't expect the sequal to be as big as the first regardless of what the movie is about.
Wakanda... Is just like Compton! :cool:

whoo boy, thank Bast BP came out first.
FTR, I'll be at Aquaman opening night and he is probably my favorite DC character. It is just funny[/QUOTE]
My enthusiasm for Aquaman just dropped.

Man I wish BP had a really strong 3rd act.
Also please let Coogler loose on the sequel and not worry about tidying things up before a damn Avengers film. The story in BP is just as great imo, but the soundstage/cgi reliant style (unless its Infinity War levels good) restricts Coogler's visual potential.
I fear we might not ever really see it unless he actually makes that Mansa Musa film and we'll all step back and say ohhhhhh.
Also I think Killmonger was just as great of a character as the Joker, but Heath just gave a much better performance (Jordan was still great, but Heath was on another level). Suffered from shortening the 3rd act as well.
Imagine a young Denzel in that role with a bit more screen time.

Thankfully, your "expectations" will have ZERO impact on how well the inevitable BP sequel does as regards surpassing the success of the first movie.
Captain America:Winter Soldier, totally surpassed the first Cap movie by totally upping the ante in the areas of presentation, action, intrigue and overall character building work.
The same applies to Thor Ragnarock and the Avengers movies.
There's no reason why the same upward momentum will not be the case with a Black Panther sequel movie helmet by Coogler and featuring a solid cast of dedicated thespians.
[QUOTE=Mike_Murdock;3809368]Apparently the next Black Panther Epic Collection has been announced: [B]Black Panther Epic Collection Vol. 2 - Revenge of the Black Panther[/B].
Collects BLACK PANTHER (1977) 1-15, MARVEL PREMIERE (1972) 51-53, BLACK PANTHER (1988) 1-4, MATERIAL FROM MARVEL TEAM-UP (1972) 100.
I'm a bit surprised it doesn't have Iron Man Annual #5 given that it's a Peter Gillis story.
[/QUOTE]
Where are you seeing this at Mike?
I'mma buy it just for Gillis Story alone. And yeah, I wish that annual was in there.
I'mma catch up on this last couple stories this morning

You keep finding new videos and basically reposting the same thing over and over again lol
A couple BP fans keep saying "I hope BP 2 is TDK levels!" and then miss the fact if BP2 was a movie the was essentialy about a villain, y'all would complain that T'challa didn't get the "spotlight" in his own movie considering people were complaining about it in BP1.
Batman was borderline useless when it came to the Joker until he decide to go Patriot Act on everyone.

Coogler needs to step his game up and show more Wakanda in BP2. The Aquaman trailer shows more of Atlantis than we saw in the BP movie and with more details too.

I will say that what we saw in the Aquaman trailer is impressive. The visual are at least as good as the BP's movies, and with only three quarters of the budget. That said, we're only judging by the trailer, which of course has all the best stuff. We'll see if the whole movie can look that impressive. If it ends up being even half as good as Black Panther, that'll be an accomplishment. The BP movie is the bar to meet, as far as I'm concerned.
I REALLY want to like the Aquaman movie and I fully intend to support it. But really good DC trailers have ended up misleading my before. Suicide Squad looked incredible in the trailer. But fingers crossed. It looks good, and it's a fun character.
