Let me save you the time. The movie hates black men, America, and the patriarchy. Racial idolatry is its selling point. Nothing else.432825152Sitting through 2 hours, 40 minutes of Black Panther 2 was torture. Let me save you the time. The movie hates black men, America, and the patriarchy.

The issue of re-castingFollowing Chadwick Boseman's untimely demise on August 28, 2020, it came to light that he was suffering from colon cancer - something that was only known to his closest friends and family. With his passing, the future of Black Panther became uncertain. At the time, a certain section of the fanbase expressed their desire for Marvel Studios to re-cast the role of T'Challa.Black Panther 2 (Image via Marvel)Kevin Feige later announced that they would not be recasting the role of T'Challa, as it would ruin the legacy of the character. Instead, Black Panther 2 incorporated the death of Chadwick Boseman and gave him a proper farewell within Wakanda and the Marvel Cinematic Universe.Sadly, many fans didn't quite take to the idea, and criticized the move.Sean Johnson@Derek5tyThey definitely should have recast T’Challa for Wakanda Forever.9119They definitely should have recast T’Challa for Wakanda Forever.AEW4Life@aew4_lifeSo rather than recast T'Challa like Chadwick himself would have wanted... they chose to profit off his death and even kill off T'Challa similar to how he died in real life.

One fan opined that the assumptions of the movie as an "anti-racist" epic still fall short as it assumes racism is a generality.Vivek Ramaswamy@VivekGRamaswamyIt’s too bad Hollywood can’t make movies like American History X anymore and settles for god-awful Black Panther sequels instead.The racist assumptions of “anti-racist” movies like this are so glaring yet liberal white audiences eat it up anyway because it makes them feel good.82482It’s too bad Hollywood can’t make movies like American History X anymore and settles for god-awful Black Panther sequels instead.The racist assumptions of “anti-racist” movies like this are so glaring yet liberal white audiences eat it up anyway because it makes them feel good.Here are some other reactions: Trey Mykel@Trey_MykelExactly everyone is trying to celebrate Black Panther when the MCU clearly show the blatant racism coming from wakanda and normalizing the word colonizer like no but we trying to be diverse and inclusive to everyone come on now! #BlackPanther #WakandaForever #Wakanda #MCU twitter.com/TruthfulTreaso…N.A.P Misfit, Ron Paul’s Top Guy@TruthfulTreasonOne of the most annoying things to come of the MCU has been the mass popularization of “colonizer”.
