I don't get the obsession with the numbers...I stop paying attention after I see it and just check a few months later. It's a topic, like any other related to a movie. In this case, where Hollywood has talked about how redundant and unrealistic comic book movies are so therefore burning audiences out on them. Yet the results prove these movies, when delivered in a way with the audience's entertainment in mind versus cookie cutter productions, truly excel. Now if you were concerned about people that take over a thread so as to post excessive negatives about a production they never saw, or just because they hated it so nobody else should have enjoyed it, I'd get your concern. But then that would be pointing out the obvious that folks get away with on here because 1) they sell books on here, and 2) they are 'just posting on a chat board'.

Gatsby77 Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Yeah - I'm okay with it being 90% about numbers at this point because... This is a comic book message board. Who _hasn't_ seen it by now after more than a month in release? Discussion-wise, folks have moved on to speculation re. Infinity War. But for a movie that many predicted to do somewhere around Doctor Strange numbers to have outperformed so spectacularly (and continue to hold as well as it has) is both newsworthy and fascinating. Black Panther will out-perform The Last Jedi domestically -- something _nobody_ saw coming -- even those who hated The Last Jedi. And for a true superhero movie to become the first 5x # 1 movie since Avatar is something all of us should be celebrating. comic_memories 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't get the obsession with the numbers...I stop paying attention after I see it and just check a few months later. I think we humans enjoy seeing records broken, whether it's an athletic record, or a record price for a comic book, or a movie box office record. Everyone knew the first Avengers movie was going to do really well at the box office, but Black Panther (and to a slightly lesser degree Wonder Woman) came out and SO exceeded expectations that I really cheer for it's success. Part of me knows it's just the industry getting rich, but another part of me is rooting for the movie to just keep breaking records. Black Panther has always been a "B" list character in the Marvel Universe. NO MORE! BP will now be "A" list all the way.

I usually check in about once a week on this thread and go right to the most current comments. This next weekend will be when BP catches Avengers (and passes SW:LJ) so I'll probably check in a few extra times to read comments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because Goldfinger (# 45 on the all-time adjusted list) is generally considered the best Bond movie, so everyone would be eagerly anticipating the follow-up -- even if it ended up not being as great a film. See also - Matrix: Revolutions, which made 60%+ more than the original Matrix at the box office, despite being much inferior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Callaway29 Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Finally watched it. It was good, but didn’t live up to all the hype. However, it being a bootleg version, and lower quality picture, probably didn’t help... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
divineunited Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Hi all! We are a design team working on some weapon designs for Marvel’s sequel to Black Panther and wanted to ask the dedicated fans for some input! We want to make sure the clothing/weapons will be even more spectacular in the sequel. We do not know who we are designing the weapon for, so all options are on the table in terms of the weapon design. Do you mind if we ask some questions regarding your opinions about the Afro-futuristic designs in the first film? 1. How did the weapons, artwork, and tools in the first movies appeal to you? What did you like and NOT like? 2. Was the design true enough to the comic books for you? 3. What things in the movie do you want to see more of? 4. Is there a particular feature from any of the comic books that you’d like to see added to some of the weapons/costumes in upcoming movies? 5. How did the afro-futuristic utopia of Wakanda appeal to you? What did you like and NOT like about the city design? 6. What aspects of the Black Panther universe do you want to see more of in future films? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
