Black Panther’s Important Message
Did you know the first Black Panther movie drew 6.09 million viewers back in 2018? Considered one of the best Marvel movies of all time, Black Panther became not only a pop culture icon but also a symbol of African-American representation and power. While a lot of people don’t like to think of movies as a place for politics and social issues, others claim it’s a necessary platform for such topics.
After the release of Black Panther’s second movie, many viewers were left with the impression that Marvel was forcing a certain ”wokeness” with the plotline. Cinema critics even claim that was the reason that drove many white viewers not to feel appealed to watch the movie. What’s your take? Is Black Panther too ”woke” for Marvel’s own good?
