But I already see African imagination in the trailers with the the African masks, the attire, some of the weapons(e.g. spears), and some of the architecture.

Saw "African masks, the attire, some of the weapons(e.g. spears), and some of the architecture" in Tarzan movies, too.

Definitely want to see it now.

Proof that movie reviews can make a huge difference, and why some studios refuse to screen movies before official release.

And had they not been the cast would have been screaming "RACISM!!!!"



It's all propaganda.

"Propaganda" for what exactly?
I'll take a guess.........white genocide? You alt-righters are starting to get too predictable. I thought most of you guys stuck to the Politics & Controversies troll board.

What? Have you seen Wakanda? Who would be upset? It's a great blend of traditional African culture with futuristic advanced technology. What's not to like?

I'd like to hear that from people for whom "traditional African culture" is truly their own culture and how they'd envision it being advanced. 'Way back in the day when Black Panther first came out, I loved it and was glad to see it, but it was also clear that it portrayed the vision (albeit benevolent) that two New York City white guys had of Africa.

lol So are you saying that the depiction of African elements in TBP is the same thing that we saw in Tarzan movies? lol

So then I guess the links that I provided in post #79 didn't provide you with any answers?
