That shit eats at me every time I want to discuss a movie or TV show. They wouldn't admit it, but I'm pretty sure it was Amazon that decided to kill it. Those boards could get toxic with alt-right bullshit sometimes.
Blade
Luke Cage
Black Panther
Black Lighting
Can we get Icon next?

remember how the industry was clowning Disney back in 11/12 around the time of John Carter?The crazy part is all this shit is owned by Disney... lol

But this puts unexpected pressure of Infinity Wars. Infinity Wars has been in the making since Iron Man One. This movie has to break records.
It's not that I wanted to read the alt-right shit. The problem would be you have a ten page thread on a movie or tv show. The majority of the thread would be legit discussion when someone(s) would come in and kind of derail the whole thing. After a few pages, it would get back to legit discussion. I was happy to ignore the bullshit because there was so much good shit for me to discuss. The problem now I can't find a legit replacement for the discussion board.Why do you want to read that shit?
They clowned them when that shit made 300 milly lol. That's the type of failures Mickey was having lol.remember how the industry was clowning Disney back in 11/12 around the time of John Carter?
Actually I think it's the opposite. The success of Panther makes it easier for Infinity war to be successful. Besides, the Avengers movies do pretty well in their own right anyway.The crazy part is all this shit is owned by Disney... lol

I know when I went nobody stayed for the stingers as if they had never seen a Marvel movie before. Wouldn't shock me if a lot of people who saw this don't see the Avengers film though I think that shit won't even need it.Actually I think it's the opposite.

Naaaw it's not two different things you just want it to be because you know I have a very legit valid point;That brother stuck his kneck out there to make that movie and we watched his struggle to get it in theaters and the back-lash before it even came out and that alone should of garnered some of the same enthusiasm from not just regular black people but actors alike,even if he didn't attract the younger folk just half,half of it would of been good,I went and sat and watched it with more whites in the theater than blacks.
How many movies have you sat and watched that wasn't what you expected it to be but you finished it because you purchased a ticket anyways,raise your hand?*raises both my hands*
Imma support this one,just like I support the other's but it's like damn bra...they say we don't support,the numbers say's other wise we just have some bumps,rocks and some more shit in our path when it comes things like this,that's all.
I really hate it didn't do well. Nat deserved better than that shit. I remember going opening night and it was 10 of us in there.It was named Birth of A Nation in order to take away from the original racist film.
Imagine if the new Birth of A Nation made 400 million?
It would have removed that previous film from history.

Shit that's trailer 101. Even D.C knew to add more Wonder Woman to their trailers.Marvel is smart, I'm sure Black Panther and Wakanda will be even more featured in the next trailer than it was for the first one.
You have no point, news flash most dramas and period pieces don't make money on Blockbuster levels. It's apples and orangesNaaaw it's not two different things you just want it to be because you know I have a very legit valid point;That brother stuck his kneck out there to make that movie and we watched his struggle to get it in theaters and the back-lash before it even came out and that alone should of garnered some of the same enthusiasm from not just regular black people but actors alike,even if he didn't attract the younger folk just half,half of it would of been good,I went and sat and watched it with more whites in the theater than blacks.

Birth of a Nation didn't have to be a blockbuster. It should've done Tyler Perry or Straight Outta Compton numbers though.You have no point, news flash most dramas and period pieces don't make money on Blockbuster levels. It's apples and oranges
Too much racism for me. It was filled with a bunch of trolls.Man i really hate imdb got rid of the message boards, shit didn't make any kind of sense.
That board was reddit before reddit. Any ambiguous looking actress always had a ton of threads dedicated to deciphering her ethnicity. Shit was ridiculous.Too much racism for me. It was filled with a bunch of trolls.

I wish blacks would of showed up and supported Birth of a Nation like they support this movie.....wishful thinking huh
Exactly. Not sure why people are even comparing the two. They think they sound conscious by referencing it. Same can be said for 12 years a Slave and Fences. Good movies, great performances, but it's nothing we haven't seen before.Birth of a Nation was kind of muted and how many times do we need to see us get whipped, beaten and raped?
Lets not forget the controversy that just happened to coincide with the opening.
I don't think Birth of a Nation was that good though...but remember it got fucked up because of the hit they put on dude about the college rape stuff and they pulled the marketing budget. You can't see a film that you don't know is out.
Yeah you guys are right. That shouldn't have stopped the film and IMO. And it probably didn't. It wasn't a film bout slaves being victims. And the fact that it was a Nat Turner story that couldn't even get produced so he had to self produce it with help from a few people including NBA players like Tony Parker and Michael Finley? Shit didn't stand a shot from jump. It was attacked by the media and it should've gotten supported more. But we all know why it didn't. Maybe it was slave film fatigue by black people.......its funny though no one got that fatigue on the other 100 slave movies made.
In regards to how bad or good it was.....that's subjective. That shouldn't effect how much money it made out the gate.
Straight up. I had slave movie fatigue before i watched it and I said I was done with those kinds of flicks afterwards. I think you combine the average nature of the movie (imo) along with all the fuckery that happened before it released and you had a dud in the making.
You know a porn parody may be comingSee I did too. Like I didn't even watch that Roots shit or that Underground show. I've heard Underground was solid......I heard conflicting shit on Roots. Just got tired of it. But I had to put that shit aside for Birth of No Nation. But I knew the story of Nat Turner would end up being a dud. Most of these do. We get mad at film companies for not making these movies.........but they aren't going to make money. Nate couldn't even get the money for it. I get why it did bad. But its clear it was done wrong. Not even one award nomination despite it winning awards at festivals.....and everyone knew about that Nate Parker shit and didn't care until he made a film about Nat Turner. Meanwhile, Roman Polanski is a confirmed rapist and he's out here making films and getting awards. Even Straight Outta Compton.....Suge murdered a dude on set and all them women Dre beat up came out in the woodworks of how he whooped their ass. Even the cac's. It just comes down to what the film was about and the subject matter. Slave movie fatigue, lack of history being taught about Nat, Nate Parker situation.......
We know this industry is a copy cat industry. Studios right now are trying to make another Black Panther or trying to get that demographic. I'm sure Sony right now is making some bullshit right now to capture the black moviegoer and its going to be some retarded ass shit. Probably a movie about "Black Twitter" or some shit.

OH yeah you know it is.I'm shocked they ain't made it yet. Usually them shits coincide with the real movie I thought.
They better show some respect and not do that shit man.
Make that Black Lighting porn or some shit.
