raging precisely because the film is being recognized not only for its quality but for cultural significance that movies like Dark Knight and Logan DON'T have.

Nerd Culture HATE HATE HATES being reminded about culture and diversity issues and we've seen the pushback and upset over servicing a larger audience for years now, so I'm not surprised that there's a interwebz meltdown going on now.

Like MOS mentioned, by every objective measure we have The Black Panther movie is not just a hit but phenomenon, but objective measures aren't enough for gatekeeping nerds and kind of never have been.

To a hilarious degree.
And just think...they are that pissed over a nomination. Expect some "my team won the whatever bowl" level destruction if it actually wins the silly statue. Flipped cars and all that shit.
