- Jimmy Kimmel’s lackluster and insensitive jokes going over the edge of criminality for disrespecting Malala Yousafzai
- Angela Basset, Stephanie Hsu being the strongest contenders for Best Supporting Actress. ROBBED by token white side-character in a POC-centric film.
- Giving multiple awards and nominations to a war film centered on disillusionment and tragedies of war while NOT giving their international platform to warzoned countries like Ukraine 🇺🇦 to spread awareness and seek aid, but sure let’s invite rich people Russians speaking politics in said international platform.
- The Academy celebrating the first Asian Best Actress in the 95 years Oscars has existed. Nuff said. We have the right to celebrate. They don’t.
You can celebrate the wins that you’ve been cheering on from the start and also criticize the dubious platforms that give those wins in the first place.
We live in a society after all.
That said, I’m so happy-crying for Ke Huy Quan 😭🫶🏻💞
—And also side-eyeing the Academy because wow they sure can’t stand full POC Winners ✨Serving✨ from their POC-centric movies they HAVE TO at least give the token white character the award huh
Civil war gave us their last moment together but #WhatIf gave us the first time they saw each other again...
I'm not crying... You're ಥ◡ಥ
People really need to start using their critical thinking skills about which superheroes are and are not furries. Black Panther is a mantle passed down for generations and NOT T'Challa's own fursona. His ancestor was the furry. Batman on the other hand is the biggest furry in town. Do you know how many sketch books of bats and batsonas the man has? He even calls himself Batman in his private thoughts, not Bruce.
hey siri frame this ask above my fireplace and notify the anon that they are literally the most valid human being on this god forsaken rock of a planet we call earth
representation is everything
Two Stages of Existence
Pre-Infinity War: Perfectly happy, full of hope and life, waiting in anticipation for a movie that probably deserves the hype.
Post-Infinity War: Shaking, tired from dealing with a clusterfuck of emotions, traumatised to the point that the colour purple triggers nightmares starring a giant Barney impersonator with a ball-sack for a chin.
first of all,
what the FUCK
My words exactly.
when watching black panther keep in mind that t'challa loves avril avigne
For me, it’s about spreading love and light as well. Shuri brings that to the screen. When people see Shuri on the screen they’re just joyful, they leave the cinema like happy, like, “Yo, she made me laugh.” — Letitia Wright

‘BLACK PANTHER’ FIRST CRITIC REACTIONS!
Waaaah! I can't wait hurry2x 😢😭😭
Joss Whedon’s Wonder Woman script is (deservedly) getting torn to pieces by tumblr at the moment for being very sexist and filtering Diana’s superhero journey through the lens of a male character, and more importantly, appealing almost entirely to a male audience as well.
Whedon’s script would still be a sexist mess even if it had been written by a fan as a fanfiction and posted on AO3. I mean, I doubt as many people would care about it, in that case, and there wouldn’t be the worry over how close it came to being the actual movie, but it would still be just as sexist.
So keeping that in mind, I don’t really see how so many people can be upset over Black Panther fans telling people to stop putting white-centric stuff in the Black Panther tag. If you can understand why having a Wonder Woman movie that prioritized Steve would have been an offensive disaster, you should have no problems understanding why having the Black Panther tag full of meta speculation on Bucky, or GIF’s of Martin Freeman, is also an offensive disaster.
Wonder Woman is for women. Black Panther is for black people. Everyone can enjoy them, but anybody who decides to enjoy them in ways that disregard the perspective of the people they are meant to be heroes for, is fucking up. Whether they are a paid professional or an unpaid amateur doesn’t make a difference in this regard. Diana does not exist for male consumption, and T’Challa and Wakanda do not exist for white consumption. If you can’t enjoy one or both of the movies while also respecting that, then I would sincerely consider taking a long moment of self-reflection to ask yourself why. There is no shortage of male heroes and no shortage of white heroes. If you want a hyper-advanced society for white male characters to play in, use Asgard.
It’s that simple.
I hope Black Panther makes black people feel as powerful as Wonder Woman made me feel
I wholeheartedly support this statement
Yes.
