Here's how to see Black Panther for free during Black History Month:
Ready to go back to Wakanda? Marvel's billion-dollar blockbuster Black Panther came out in 2018, but now that it's up for the Academy Award for best picture, it might be time to watch it again.
The film will be rereleased in theaters for one week at 250 participating AMC theaters, Marvel Studios said Monday, and it's free. Interested moviegoers had better book now. A waiting list will be started once showings fill up. Screenings start Feb. 1.
Popcorn not included.

Yup. It was a shitty character in the books and it was a shitty movie that I walked out on in under a half an hour. Luke Cage, by contrast, was a shitty character in the books and rocks my stripey socks on the small screen. Just because a character was a depthless, uninteresting piece of race-pandering shit in the books does not mean they need to be portrayed on screen as such.

And I'll bet dollars to donuts that no one missed you.

Da fuck do I care if anyone missed me? I walked out not in protest but because the list of things more enjoyable than sitting through a shitty movie is exceedingly long and I don't feel obliged to sit through it just because I paid for it.

You do realize that until recently the "race pandering" went the other way and you didn't give a shit? A *insert minority* as the protagonist? "No way, no one will pay to see that!" Lead roles for women? More likely but still a bit rare. Not calling you racist here pal don't get frothy, just pointing out that complaints about PC and race equality stuff is pretty much textbook white privilege. Don't worry, it is pretty normal human behavior to only care about something when it starts impacting your own life.
I didn't think the movie was that great myself, but I haven't liked much of the MCU stuff.

Race-pandering in Luke Cage was happening in seventy-two when the book was first released. Learn your shit before you spout off.

Not what I meant, but I imagine you know that since your goto is to "misunderstand" someone and then post something that seeeems like a rebuttal.

Not sure if the Buzzard "misunderstands", might be more a matter of just "complete failure to understand". And the boy ain't even white!

No idea what you meant, only what you said. If the two ain't the same, you need to fix that before you hit Enter. What you said was race-pandering was in favor of the majority in comics until recently and that is not remotely the case. Hell, the entire X-Men/Force/etc... line was nothing but one big metaphor promoting progressive race relations.
