The person on the left is throwing a whole lot of generalisations and assumptions around though. And the movie is not about "black experiences" - it's not some socially conscious commentary on realistic black experiences in the least. That's like saying Captain America is about white experiences. It's not. It's superpowers and superhumans, unrealistic popcorn flick material.

That's also true. I doubt anyone in the world shares any experiences with the people of Wakanda.

I always wanted to live there because it's so sci-fi and safe and advanced totally unlike anything in our world. Secure from, but still part of the greater universe I love. And this letter seems to be Implying i wouldn't be allowed to live there because of my skin being wrong - Actually isn't just implying it at all. it's literally saying it: "Your white favs do not belong in Wakanda. They do not belong there ins meta, in head canons, in fics" - BTW, when youre talling fan fic writers what they are not allowed to do, you are going against fanfic, and against all the wonderful things of fandom, you need to stop that - " the only reason Buckwheat Barnes gets to be there is because he's currently being used as a decorative ice sculpture for state dinners" which btw, THATS how you read T'Challa's actions towards Bucky at the end of the film? That was your take away of what kind of man T'Challa is? He didn't want to help Bucky, he didn't want right any wrongs, or make amends, or protect an innocent, he wanted to take a white guy as a trophy? That was your FUCKING READING OF THAT?!?! And you dare, YOU FUCKINGDARE to claim a greater level of understanding with the man because you have the same skin colour?!?! You think he's your guy when you understand him so FUCKING LITTLE?!?!

Well... technically you probably wouldn't be allowed in Wakanda considering they don't really let anyone in.

Well, yes, this is true, but if you're heroic enough, or friends with someone high up... I mean there are ways, aren't there?

Shit, next you're telling me I'll never be a vampire.

T'Challa grows as a character and comes into a bit of wisdom after confronting Zemo. He realizes he doesn't want to be revenge-obsessed the way he was. He tells Captain America he considers Bucky just as much a victim as T'Chaka. Anyone who takes away "obvious trophy" from that needs to stop watching movies with their heads up their butts.

I know! T'Challas story in that film, in spite of it being a captain america film, T'Challas story was just about the only story arch where any character had any growth or development. I mean, I loved all the fighting and conflict, but none of it actually lead anywhere. Cap was still the same cap from the start of the film, Iron man Ditto, Bucky got some advancement to his story, but didn't really change or grow any. T'Challa was done so fucking wonderfully. I'll be honest, I was really really sceptical of how Marvel would take T'Challa to the big screen. I had visions of them fucking up royally. This movie alone has made me so hyped for the Black Panther film. They got the best guy cast, and they've shown they can do him well.

i had the same concerns as you, marvel's track record with their minority characters isn't always fantastic so i was a little worried that they might fall back on some iffy stereotypes or just not do him justice.

boy was i fucking wrong and i am so glad for it, he was the best thing about that movie by far and as a result i am so excited to see how he carries his own film and i have so much faith that he'll be great.

Yeah, me too. Because of how good Civil War was I've been avoiding the trailer for Black Panther. I cant wait to see it and I will not be spoiled.

(Anonymous) 2017-06-24 06:21 pm (UTC)(link)
yeah that's the bit that boggled my mind so much, like it really makes me wonder if this person even saw the movie? because that's not why t'challa takes bucky and steve+crew in, he does it because he realizes that bucky was a victim and that steve's lot are going to be imprisoned, so he offers them safe refuge BECAUSE HE'S A GOOD PERSON.

but sure, headcanon him as a dick i guess.

Responding to one of the other people down thread, and I actuall think this might all turn out to be bullshit that I have been specatularly taken in by.

It's too moronic. I don't think it's legit. I think somone is trying to make black black panther fans look crazy and irratonal.

I'm deeply ashamed that it took me as long as it did to reach this conclusion. Fucking poes law, man, what a fucker.

da.

but i honestly do wonder sometimes if the people who make the biggest noise like this are actually haters trying to make those fandoms die, because it works if that's the case. but i also wouldn't be surprised if there were some fans who really are that far up their own ass that they can't see that what they're doing will produce less interest in their faves rather than more.
