Black Panther was one of the highest grossing movies of the year, so I think it is kinda significant that it got made at all, and that it was as successful as it was.
Also, although its ostensibly a 'super hero' movie, there isn't actually any super hero stuff in it (e.g. innocent people being saved from falling lifts, burning buildings etc). Its a sci-fi story about who rules a super-advanced african nation, and what their foreign policy should be.

- ntsplnkv2 8y agoMarvel Studios has been pumping out hit after hit. It's not really surprising how successful it was at all, especially with the Avenger's tie in.
- codeulike 8y agoRight, but as of a few months ago Black Panther was the highest grossing (and most tickets sold) out of all Marvel movies. Probably Infinity War has passed it since then, but still. Its likely the second-most successful Marvel movie ever - thats significant, no? https://ew.com/movies/2018/04/30/marvel-movies-box-office/ https://ew.com/movies/2018/04/30/marvel-movies-box-office/
- ConceptJunkie 8y agoThat's because it was a good movie with good characters and an interesting story. The setting, cast, and other accidentals don't matter if you have good characters and an interesting story. This is what a lot of the purveyors of politically correct SF don't seem to understand.
