The thing about Latinos wanting representation like the black panther is that the black panther is very representative of us also. I'm Half black/Puerto Rican So for many Puerto Ricans/Dominicans/Mexicans A lot of our culture is intertwined with African culture. Killmonger was representative of all of those people in a way, Hence how he said two billion people all around the world who needed help, he wasn't specifically talking about "African Americans"
Groot handle on the hammer tho
Gamora is an alien but Zoe Saldana is Puerto Rican/Dominican. Ghost Rider in Agents of Shield is Mexican, Darwin from First Class is supposed to be Latino.
I'm Dominican, I like the idea of a superhero that Latinos can look up to but will it ever feel right? Latinos are too diverse. It'll turn into "well, we have a Mexican hero", "now we need a Puerto Rican hero", "now we need a Colombian hero".
Coworkers surprised me today when they invited me to a group thing to watch infinity war on release day.
I'm down I like my coworkers, but we got to agree on the movie theater. I need to watch this at Dolby at times Square. If they're not down for that, I'm going to have to make up some excuse to dip lol
If somehow the stars align and we're all able to agree on theater and time, it'd be the first time I've watched a movie with a group in a very long time lol
More expensive than imax?I've been watching at that dolby theater since thor ragnarok
Thor I sat far up and it was just ok
for BP I saw in the middle and I thought that was perfect.
What's a lot? How you like the imax by msg. Never been.
you be live tweetin bp during the movie and getting away with itKips Bay on 32nd and 2nd is the most popping on.
It don't got the recliner seats?I meant “thanks” spell check got me
I usually pay 20+ though fandango.
It’s cool. I wish they had the nice recliner seats tho.
It don't got the recliner seats?
Na you need to come to the dolby on 42nd st lol
Me neither but I’ve always wanted to try one of those theaters with a restaurant on the insideI never buy concessions. I'm usually eating somewhere before the movie
The reclining seats are sweet man
yeah cause Africans aren't diverse at all, a whole continent of different countries, and the the whole diaspora...
you could do it, the real problem is the lack of cinematic Latino characters in Marvel.
I never said that. Latin American countries aren't as united as some may think. There's a lot of nationalism and racism that keeps the countries from really being united as a whole. Black people in America saw this film as a united front, regardless of which African country they descend from. I think it'll be a little more divisive among Latino audiences.
I think for it truly work, there would have to be various Latin American groups represented here.
Yea you got to a point. I think to have that black panther effect it got to be a whole team of different latino american superheroes..not just one latino americanI never said that.

A show like Orange Is The New Black has various representations of Latin America- Mexican, Dominican, Puerto Rican, Colombian. I think that's why it has resonated with different people. It's a bad example mind you, minorities in jail is not a good example to follow but it's the best example in TV/film that comes to mind in recent memory.
