It's amazing the entitlement some people have. "Yes I'm committing a crime, but fuck you!"
... Black guy at work last night saying how he hears Black Panther will be the best Marvel movie ever.. it has Angela Basset in it! .. Just interesting the different perspectives.

He's a black actor, he's literally taking one of the very few spots afforded to legal american black actors.

Definitely going to see it. Curious what sort of answers/setups for Infinity War will be there.

Same. Also like RTJ's contribution to the sound track, though this is only partial redemption for allowing Legend Has It to be on the fucking Baywatch movie track.

So my fan theory is as follows:
This guy (I didn't look up who he was or what he plays) is written in to nearly get killed in battle, but we see him alive again at the end with a brief description add to why.
However, after that illegal comment, they've going to remove the "getting better" description scene. Then while the credits are scrolling someone speaks top and says "man, I can't believe Rodney died" or something similar.

I decided to look him up in IMDB to see who he was playing. Not surprisingly the headline description of "star" is there to get it more attention. He's credited as "Military Leader". And it turns out that BP isn't his first comic book movie. He was also in Suicide Squad where he landed the coveted role of "T-Shirt Vendor".
In a double whammy of irony one of his other roles was in a movie called A Futile and Stupid Gesture in which he played the "Taxi driver".

Honestly I'm not really a fan of black panther, especially the modern day "batman plus Reed Richards plus Ironman" version.
BUT I liked Chadwick boseman in civil war, so we'll see. I like the lore of wakanda, I have no problem with black superheroes. As long as it doesn't turn out to be a propaganda film (which I doubt Disney would even allow) it'll be fine

Futile and Stupid Gesture is the Netflix movie about the founding of National Lampoon, I think.

Marvel has yet to give me a reason to not go opening weekend for their movies. The only ones I skipped the theater releases were The Incredible Hulk, Thor 2, the first Avengers (deployed like a week before it came out otherwise I would have gone to see it), and both GOTG movies. GOTG1 the only one I voluntarily skipped that I regret, the other 3 were pretty meh compared to the rest of the MCU movies.

What if someone showed up at your house with a signed check from the MInnesota Vikings to pay you to see it?

The only difference I see in this one is they aren't playing up any humor in the marketing and what little they've shown has been very subdued. Part of that is probably due to them steering the MCU towards the showdown with Thanos which should be it's darkest chapter yet with Ragnarok serving as the more lighthearted respite before the plunge. Otherwise it looks like a typical, high quality good time at the movies I've come to expect from Marvel.

I am so hopefully disinterested in this.
... as in I am not excited in the least for yet another Marvel Origin Movie where the Hero gets his powers / full powers unlocked, assembles a support team mostly by accident, and fights the evil version of himself, cut with questionable humor.
But I'm still hopeful because we've seen so little of this, the damn thing could go anywhere, and even the worst Marvel movie is worth spending two hours once.
