Lol you racists

 

[everysingletime]

I think it would be pretty cool to make Namor and ppl of atlantis Asians

Make a racial turf war between Wakanda and atlanteans

 

[masagipatron]

Namor should happen but we need a legit Fantastic 4 movie first. Ideally, F4 should be introduced in an Infinity War movie, then bring in Namor in a F4 solo movie before giving him a solo movie. Also, skip the F4 origin story, we’ve seen it enough times. Maybe show brief flashbacks. Of course, that kind of thing would take years especially since the Fox deal still isn’t finalized.

 

[P A Z]

Namor did flood Wakanda. Wouldn't be a terrible villain for BP2.

 

[P A Z]

Ha. Big Asian guys movie. They’ll be getting shawarma and a bunch of other food.

Sounds like David Cheng's netflix show Ugly Delicious

Spoiler

 

[kickmatic23]

Can I watch Black Panther if I still haven't seen Thor Ragnorak or are there no spoilers/ mcu continuity between the two?

 

[everysingletime]

Yea let's make atlanteans asian so we can get asians and black ppl beefin da streets

 

[masagipatron]

Namor did flood Wakanda. Wouldn't be a terrible villain for BP2.

That’s more than likely the route that Marvel will go in. I just need a dope, MCU Fantastic 4 flick for my own sanity.

 

[masagipatron]

Can I watch Black Panther if I still haven't seen Thor Ragnorak or are there no spoilers/ mcu continuity between the two?

You can watch it. The movies to watch before BP are mostly Avengers Age of Ultron (Klaw’s intro into the MCU) and Captain America Civil War (BP’s intro into MCU).

 

[P A Z]

Yea let's make atlanteans asian so we can get asians and black ppl beefin da streets

Well they did go run a muck in Seoul and tensions between Blacks and Koreans weren't re-sparked (LA in the 80s-90s).

I'd prefer to see Namor be a POC than another colonizer.

Plus Rush Hour 4 will be out by then.

Also, I'm Asian

 

[mastamind033]

Lol Namor is Asian?

Not really but if you look at the way he’s mostly drawn, he does have some Asian features

I’m sure someone like Shang-Chi is in the pipeline but it would be dope if we could get a lead hero/anti hero/villain (Namor could be all 3) who’s Asian but not a stereotypical one who’s a monk and a master of Kung Fu

 

[masagipatron]

Namor should not only be Asian but he should kill Iron Fist on behalf of Asians and the world in general.

What im saying is that every race needs to fight there own fight and stop riding off of the coattails of the BLACK struggle. Because from my experience,the majority of non African Americans are going to sit back in the stands and criticize and spew hate on us while teaming up with our oppressors while were on the battle field. Then they try to gain recognition off of our wins after the game. They failed to realize the world doesn't work like that. All of these other races want to dress,sound,think like us 24/7.

But they dont want to fight there war with us at all. Basically yall need to get talented writers and directors of yalls race to hit up Marvel to do that. We've always had to be exceptional in our work/talents to be exceptional above the rest. That's why we dominate whenever get in a field and master the techniques of said profession,while doing it with less resources compared to our counterparts. They'll never be a movie as great as Black Panther when it comes to uplifting a race of people.

It's to many undertones/metaphorical meanings that deals with the Black struggle that will go over the regular ignorant persons mind. They didn't shove the religion mental doctoring in the movie,i really loved that about the movie. Africans/Kemetic teachings where around 100,s of years before religions where created. African to African Americans relationships aspect in the movie. The mental relationship between the Black Man and Black Woman is in the movie. Aspects of how the resources from our land have been stolen is in it.

Spiritual/Consiscouness without religion to know self. Parenting in our community. Coogler dived in the issues of our issues and mutated the storyline inside of the Character of Black Panther. Every race can have there own movie. But it won't uplift there people like BP did for us. Because there storyline of the movie was to wake our people up in a subliminal way. No matter what people in here say. This wasn't your stereotypical Hollywood super hero movie. That's why our own supported it so strong. Like David Banner said recently.

I'm really surprised the movie industry let this movie come out. Star Wars is the only franchise that can compare to the Avengers and Black Panther. Notice how Star Wars dealt with praising and internalizing there Ancestors as Gods instead of pushing the religion doctoring. People need to wake up. Stars Wars was definitely ahead of its time.

realest thing i've read on a forum in a long time.
things black ppl think but never say aloud and in public.
if i could like this post 100 times i would.

 

[W)taps]

This dude thought melanin could protect spaceships though

 

[drewsone]

Namor should most def be Asian! That'd be so sick!
Anti-Hero route with him ending up with Invaders or X-men or something

 

[mastamind033]

Mulan live movie is coming out. Disney is prob gonna head with that to get into the Asian audience first.

I’ll watch and support a live action Mulan but it will and should be mostly Chinese

With Namor and Atlantis, you can have various Asians involved

 

[everysingletime]

I'm going to be disappointed if Namor is not asian now. Yall put it in my head

 

[aNYone]

Namor finna be Puerto Rican I feel it

 

[osh kosh bosh]

They should just make Namor asian looking.

 

[amitt5504]

Mulan live movie is coming out. Disney is prob gonna head with that to get into the Asian audience first.

Fun fact: the person who voiced Mulan is the same person who plays Melinda May in AoS

 

[sb]

Why I Connect To ‘Black Panther’ As An Asian Man

https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entr...er-asian-american_us_5a943d9ae4b02cb368c45c19

“Black Panther” star Lupita Nyong’o recently told “Good Morning America” that we can better see ourselves when we can see ourselves in others. She said that she grew up only being able to see herself in white superheroes ― and it’s high time the reverse is happening.

And it’s happening in record-breaking numbers. “Black Panther” has grossed $400 million at the U.S. box office alone. It just had the second-biggest second weekend gross of all time (not adjusted for inflation), pulling in $108 million ― ahead of the $106.5 million for “Jurassic World” and behind the $149 million for “Star Wars: The Force Awakens.” The film has made $704 million worldwide.

As the pervasive Hollywood myth would have it, black-led entertainment doesn’t do well overseas. Can non-black folks really see themselves in black people?

Yes. And the overseas numbers for “Black Panther” and other films, like the black women-led “Hidden Figures,” are bucking the conventional wisdom that a movie needs a white male protagonist to perform well in international markets.

There are a number of elements in “Black Panther” that could resonate with anyone regardless of race: father-son relationships, compassion versus individualism, tradition versus innovation, and a good ol’ fighting spirit.

As an Australian proudly born to parents of Vietnamese, Chinese and Singaporean decent, a few of the film’s themes leapt out at me.

Own Your Origins ― Unapologetically

Maybe it’s because one of the opening scenes features a news report on the 1992 Rodney King riots playing in the background. Maybe it’s because Okoye, played by Danai Gurira, throws off her wig mid-fight while trying to disguise herself in Korea. Maybe it’s because the needs-an-Oscar costume designer, Ruth Carter, celebrates the diversity of African history and textiles in every fiber of the characters’ clothing. Carter told WPGC 95.5 that she’s been waiting for a project like this to express her pride for her ancestral background, for her community and for young people. The message: Love where you’re from.

‘Black Panther’ has taken off the pressure to water down my Asian-ness in order to fit in or be understood.

If Congresswoman Maxine Waters was reclaiming her time, director Ryan Coogler is reclaiming blackness, and, in turn, inspiring others to reclaim whatever-you-are-ness. Coogler explained to Hot 97 the tensions people face when their color prohibits a full sense of belonging in their home country and their upbringing excludes them from a connection to their motherland. How many African-Americans haven’t been to Africa? How many Asian-Americans haven’t been to Asia? Does that make us less African or Asian?

Gurira told ET that once Wakandans (the citizens of the fictional African nation Wakanda), figure out how to do something, they automatically feel that it is the only way it should be done. I take this to mean: Dress the way your people dress. Speak the way your people speak. Eat the way your people eat. Through “Black Panther,” Coogler has taken off the pressure to water down my Asian-ness in order to fit in or be understood. That time is over.

Embracing Identity

Wakanda may be fictional, but the film uses a real language. Wakandans speak in Xhosa, Nelson Mandela’s language. Xhosa people are members of the second-largest cultural group in South Africa, after the Zulu, and their language is one of the country’s 11 official languages, spoken by over 7 million people. In one scene in which Okoye is skeptical about the process of Agent Everett Ross (played by Martin Freeman), she speaks exclusively to T’Challa (Chadwick Boseman) in Xhosa, leading the white agent to interrupt, “Does she speak English?” Not missing a beat, Okoye leans in with, “Only when she wants to.”

Almost anyone from a non-English-speaking background, especially non-white folks, can relate to this othering. Both in my own childhood and in what I observe with my students, young people have had to play translator for their parents. This is not always just because their parents couldn’t speak English, but sometimes because their parents were made to feel less than or unworthy of meaningfully being part of the conversation.

Lupita Nyong’o, Chadwick Boseman and Danai Gurira in “Black Panther.”

What used to be frustration toward my parents because they insisted I order for them at restaurants (knowing full well that they could) has morphed into empathy. Whether they keep trying to fit in or give up, they’ll still be the other. What used to be disappointment over low participation at parent-teacher conferences has turned into empathy, because nothing is more infantilizing than requesting the help of translators to learn about your child’s education.

Another example in the film that hits a nerve for those of us who’ve been raised on “White is right” (or as I like to say, “Pasty is power”), is when we’re introduced to the edgy denim-donning Erik Killmonger (Michael B. Jordan) at a British museum. He strikes up conversation with not just any white woman, but the museum’s “expert” in West African artifacts. The scene reminded me that sometimes the imperializing of ideas and the colonization of cuisine is so relentless, it’s hard to wake up from the nightmare of white folks taking over your cultural artifacts.

A common question or instruction throughout the film is Who are you? and Tell them who you are. Each character is able to proudly exclaim their full name and family lineage.

Even in 2018, many of my immigrant students feel forced to use a different name for the convenience of others. Being able to say your full name with confidence is not an easy feat for some, and “Black Panther” gives gravity to this issue. While it may be a two-second question, for many of us, it’s meant years of therapy, bullying and doubt.

The Boys Behind The Men

The men in “Black Panther,” even the anti-heroes, are the ones in their feelings and working through their daddy issues. T’Challa, the Black Panther, grapples with his father’s past decisions and later confronts him. Erik Killmonger and his father, Prince N’Jobu (Sterling K. Brown), also deserve some cheers for their tears. Both men shed a single tear in an emotional scene in the ancestral plane.

There was no room for shame in this film.

What a breath of fresh air. As the effeminization of Asian men persists, I, like my peers, have worked blindly to overcompensate for this supposed shortcoming. In addition to minimizing our emotions, we’ve altered our voices, dress and demeanor. Coogler gives men of color permission to be in their feelings.

On the flip side, he elevates women to positions of certainty and steadfastness. When Okoye is challenged to choose between romantic love and patriotic responsibilities, she has no qualms about her decision.

Jordan told “The View” that the beautiful thing about attending press junkets for the film’s release in Asia was seeing journalists show up in their country’s traditional dress. No matter where you are from, “Black Panther” is a celebration of your origins.

There was no room for shame in this film. Whatever makes you who you are should be shouted from the Vibranium mountaintops ― be it your political views, family, dress or name. “Black Panther” empowers us not to half-*** who we are.

 

[mastamind033]

They should just make Namor asian looking.

You mean a mixed Asian like Brandon Lee (RIP)? I’d be down with that too

 

[drewsone]

Nah Namor gotta be 100% from the motherlands fam. No mixture
