All I know is Disney won’t get another fucking cent of my money after The Last Jedi.

I’ll wait for Netflix on this one. Infinity War too.

The tokenism going on with reviews for this is pretty silly.

For example, TheYoungTurks movie review show, WhatTheFlick, posted some initial reactions. In it, they promise to include a black person for the full review. Not good enough to be part of your normal show, but hey, if you are watching a predominantly black casted movie, I guess black people are good enough to review that.

I'll admit i know very little about super heroes but how is this any different then naming Marvels next white super hero "The Klansman"

I can't wait to see the reaction here (at least, those who aren't pre-emptively boycotting it). Doesn't sound like there's a single good white person in the film and white people are referred to as colonizers. Yet, in the end, it seems a black radical is the villain. I don't know, I didn't want to spoil too much, but this thread should be popcorn worthy.

No one will have a reaction because they will all get robbed and stabbed at the theater.

Well Martin Freeman won't be a bad guy but Andy Serkis certainly is. Frankly I could care less if there is a good white character in it.

I'm more amused all these people celebrating this film are like no wall please, when Wakanda literally cloaked their country so poor black people couldn't fuck it up.

In order to prevent Black people from feeling uncomfortable about watching this movie with a white man in the audience, would it be reasonable to wear a bedsheet to the movies? I'd cut some holes in it to see out of, of course.

I hear the correct choice is too slather yourself in black shoe polish and go in black face.
