    Black Panther was seemingly made for the sake of being the MCU’s first black-lead movie. And it’s great. Drag can’t think of any other movies made for the sake of being woke, so we’ll just have to rely on this sample size of 1 which says woke movies are awesome.

      How much are we considering earlier Marvel as part of the MCU? Because even though it was before Iron Man/Hulk and the official “start” of the current MCU, a lot of people seem to forget that the Blade Trilogy existed…

      It was ok. I didn’t get the hype around it and didn’t think it was great or as good as everyone was saying it was.

        Same. I was told “It’s nothing like the other MCU movies, you’ll love it!”, and I watched it and… it’s probably the best MCU movie I’ve seen, but still very MCU.

        The good part is that it offers an analysis of where actual power within a monarchy comes from, and how American agents destroy regimes.
