I mean, it's obviously pretty awesome, but I've seen people watching the Civil War trailer with tears of joy in their eyes. WTF???

so like...are you generalizing all black people by the small amount of people you've witnessed watch the trailer? Judging by the time you wrote this, maybe it wasn't the trailer that made them cry, but rather them watching the SuperBowl score that brought them to tears :P

People like to live vicariously

It's easier to do that when you can relate in some way

OP are you white?

White people are everywhere in TV and movies.

Also the guy who directed Fruitvale Station and Creed is directing it.

So I'm pumped why do you care that people are happy...

@never_give_up: I don't care that people are happy. I mean, it's a good thing after all. But it just seems strange to see people cry for a movie. After all there were a lot of movies with black heroes like the Blade trilogy, the MIB trilogy, Spawn, Django Unchained, Code Genesis, the animated series of Static Shock, Hancock etc etc

Always wondering why blacks folks are happy or why others enjoy something. As if there is some reason why they shouldn't be.

Answer this. Why wasn't Superman black when they first created him? Or Arab, asian, etc.

@juzacloud: Does it matter? He's an alien. Race shouldn't matter if skin deep for you to enjoy the established character. Why isn't Darkseid a human. Why isn't Wonder Woman a Chinese chick. Why is Dormammu a hellish energy demon instead of looking like Obama. Who cares though you know?

I'll have you know he does in fact look like Obama. His face is just covered up by all that mystical demon fire energy.

I'm just happy they are pushing a diverse character the right way instead of doing it the dumb forced PC way.

@nerevarine_11: why are you asking me if it matters? I didn't make this thread. Im responding to it.

Race means everything in America. You can act like it doesn't though. But that's a whole other topic that won't bare any fruit through internet debating.

@juzacloud: Race doesn't mean everything unless we enable it too. And this is about comics which extends to all avenues. Pretty sure that was established.

That's an even better question. Hopefully, he doesn't see him as boring that's only dedicated for Superman for certain users.

@hyiena: Yes, I'm excited for BP. Big fan of Reginald Hudlin's "Who is the Black Panther" story arc. Personally I would have been more excited for a Static Shock movie, or a Green Lantern movie with John Stewart played by Idris Elba. But this is just my opinion.

I've seen plenty of white and black people have tears of joy seeing Batman, Superman or wonder woman in a trailer. Why is it such a big deal that people are happy to see BP in a trailer? Let people enjoy what they enjoy, end of story.

Why ask the question when you already know the answer? And why does it matter anyway? People are really happy. What's wrong with that?

The Black Community is excited for Black Panther because we finally have a Black SuperHero in the Ranks among other Caucasian heroes. I'm Excited I have a friend who's stoked about this so I mean why not be excited.

Haven't seen anybody excited for BP movie or anybody that knows who he is actually. But if you have seen these "black" people excited for him to be on the big screen then it should be common sense why. He looks similar to them.

As for race. Why am I not surprised youknowwho is on the thread. Aka MrIHateDiversityinComics. Race is a big deal because America was founded and created via racism. It was deeply incorporated into all aspects of life here including comics, and now some companies are trying to change that*marvel*and some are still pandering to their 1950s crowd *DC*

@jasonhawke: It's exactly what I'm saying. People say BP will be the first black superhero on the silver screen, nobody remember the Blade trilogy (ok, the third was horrible, but the first and the second were pretty good)

It's great to see a bro, who played a key role in saving the marvel multiverse, get his own movie and recognition!!

Everyone should be excited to anticipate what should be, at very least a decent marvel movie...as I'm sure everyone regardless of race were pretty excited to see Captain America previews...

IMO

I'm just excited because I think it will be different from the other MCU stuff and Marvel doesn't disappoint me often with their movies.

Not sure why my race or the race of a fictional character should matter. =/
