White supremacists are upset about black characters being depicted in a positive manner.
LOL....Yep what I was thinking...
One of the things I like about the TV show Stranger Things, is it reminds me of my childhood in the 70's. Kids hanging out w/kids. Didn't matter if the kids were black, mexican, asian, or even girls...if they liked doing boy stuff, like riding bikes, and climbing trees.

Makes me proud now that all those kids I grew up with can truthfully say that they '...even played with a Mexican kid!"
And thus my life has meaning!

Nothing if you are a science fiction/fantasy/comics fan. It's actually a good film with universal themes.
Saw it at the cinema this weekend.
Parts of it are a bit overdone but not too bad.
What's different about it is that it's afrofuturistic from a black perspective with a mostly black cast.
That might upset you if you are the type of person who goes round chanting "You will not replace us!" in a torchlight parade.

You're lucky this isn't Twitter
It's controversial?
There should be nothing controversial about the Black Panther movie. I am a white guy and almost wouldn't have even noticed that the heroes were all black, if not for the name of the movie. I give the movie very high ratings and hope there is a sequil.
The Marvel audiences are getting wise. After the movie ended, only a fee people left their seats. Almost everyone knows to wait until the end of the credits, to see all of the easter eggs.

I heard it was really good. Maybe I can get Elderolddog to take me.
I was neutral on the subject of seeing it, but after reading R. Ebert's review, I am really, really interested in soaking up the atmosphere!
I do so enjoy the thought of bigots sitting around, stewing in their own juices! The liquid boils away and the hate forms a smarmy mass that they lug around with them, so focused on it that they miss out on all the joys that there for the sampling and sharing.

Eberts reviewing movies from the afterlife?
Conclusive proof of it at last. Now, how in Satan’s glorious name did he do it?

He is way too busy to take you.
Dammit! Now I have carve some time out of my ever so busy retirement life to make the time to take her!
Sure, it's probably a decent movie, but don't I already know before I walk into the theater, generally speaking, that good is going to triumph over evil?
...Just like in real life...

Only racists have a problem with Black Panther, as for Mormons, Marvel is a Disney owned company, so they can see this as it's not R rated. I'm planning to see it soon, as I'm a Marvel comics fan and it's a great way to escape for a couple of hours at least.
"Disney is now estimating a massive $235 million opening weekend for the film (and that’s just the domestic box office; early estimates predict at least another $169 million overseas)."
Wait, who turned on the time machine and sent us back to 1850?
... that they claim it is the first film with a black superhero? Not by a longshot. "Hancock" for exsmple was made years sgo, then there's "Blade" even further back.
There's Shaft. And Blacula, but I digress.
BTW, the character "Black Panther" predates the poltical party of the same but unrelated name.
You should read all about it.
