To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Black Panther. The themes are extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of the legacy of colonialism, the destructive influence of African diaspora, U.S. imperialism, and black inner city struggles, most of the movie will go over a typical viewer’s head. There’s also the antihero Killmongers nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation- his personal philosophy draws heavily from Malcolm Littles literature, for instance. The REAL fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depth of this movie, to realize that it’s not just great- but it says something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Black Panther truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn’t appreciate, for instance, the ending, with the kid asking T’Challa who he was. All of my white friends saw that as just another superhero movie ending; pride at who you are and who you can be has more resonance with the black community because so much of our history has been shaped by what has been done to us rather than the other way around. I’m smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Ryan Coogler’s genius wit unfolds itself on their Movie screens. What fools.. how I pity them. 😂

And yes, by the way, i DO have a Killmonger tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It’s for the ladies’ eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that they’re within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand. Nothin personnel kid 😎
