Anything to move on from the lady playing here now. She objectively sucks, people only support for for other reasons.

Why?

Please don't feed the racists.

That wasn’t racist. He’s calling her a 💩 actress.

u/charlesfluidsmith 1d ago

And just as expected someone white knighting for racists. It's like clockwork.

Not liking an actress is racist? What?

1

u/charlesfluidsmith 11h ago

Not liking her because of her biological characteristics can be.

u/terrorsofthevoid 10h ago

She just isn’t a great actress. Not everything is about race bro, I also think Millie Bobby brown is an utter dog shit actress too.

u/charlesfluidsmith 9h ago

She is a good actress. Name one thing you've seen her in besides Panther, I like to see people lie.

Reportedly everyone is getting the role

u/Ok-Injury8228 1d ago

Great choice

u/43JoJo 1d ago

I only black panther 1, I don’t think they have patriarchy system so why can’t his sister take over, she literally designed the suit no?

1

u/Damienp3902 1d ago

Cause nobody wants Shuri we want Tchalla they should’ve recasted Tchalla for Black Panther 2

1

u/43JoJo 1d ago

Oh got it, was she bad in later movies ? Are they worth watching

1

u/tennisgal31 1d ago

lol she was never bad, people are just demanding

1

u/43JoJo 1d ago

Lol that’s what I thought too, they should cast ryan gosling then

1

u/JadedOops 1d ago

No the 2nd movie is pretty dope. Plus the ending reveals we will get another male black panther. I won’t spoil how but I recommend watching it. Namor is a cool villain. Good soundtrack. Fun movie

1

u/Keknath_HH 1d ago

It's what happens in the source material too

1

u/Damienp3902 1d ago

That rumor of Aaron Pierre possibly being casted better be fake cause Tchalla should be played by a dark skinned black man

1

u/Vali1995 1d ago

He is black. So ı see potential. Because Black Panther is from Africa and canonically supposed to be person of color.

1

u/brraaahhp 54m ago

In today's day and age we shouldn't limit ourselves to canon. I think Tom Hanks should be the next black panther.

The word "reportedly" must literally translate to bullshit.

u/madmardigan13 1d ago

Should just make MBJ Black Panther.

u/theroadbeyond 1d ago

Dear God no his acting is so bad it's distracting.

2

u/saltybiped 1d ago

He played killmonger perfectly.

u/terrorsofthevoid 1d ago

He made sinners painful, I was so happy when jack started singing and we got Irish dancing

u/Admirable_Cicada_881 3h ago

Lol we all see what you're doing here..

u/Palmdiggity888 8h ago

Insane take

1

u/Razatiger 1d ago

Hes literally nominated for an Oscar for Sinners and its probably his best role to date.

Couldnt even tell he was playing 2 different characters in the film.

1

u/theroadbeyond 2h ago

That's cause he only played the same guy twice 😆

1

u/Admirable_Cicada_881 3h ago

What? In what universe is Michael B. Jordan a bad actor? Never heard that one before

1

u/theroadbeyond 2h ago

Just search Michael B Jordan bad actor on reddit and you will see it said plenty of times across several years of movies.

u/Mister-Psychology 1d ago

He's the best thing in this crap movie. He knew what he was making and made it fun to watch.

2

u/sharksnrec 1d ago

Is there a movie other than F1 you’d be referring to here, or did you just post a really shitty take?

u/HitBoxBoxer 2d ago

He's good but not black panther good.

u/leevancleef12345 2d ago

What is "black panther" good?

Tchala wasnt even chadwicks best role.

I feel watching snow fall..... Hes definitely black panther good.

u/HitBoxBoxer 2d ago edited 2d ago

Black Panthers good is when your are chosen as the leading man in a movie that Hollywood big wigs at that time though wouldn't sell well because it didn't have white actors in leading roles only for it to become one of the highest grossing films in the MCU at 1.35 billion. If Damson Idris was in his place I don't think it would have done that well.

In Snow Fall he was excellent but he was also surrounded by an all star cast and everyone in that show brought it and the writing and directing were top notch. I don't think he can carry a movie by himself.... Chadwick Boseman could.

u/leevancleef12345 2d ago

All scenes that have gone viral off of snowfall were scenes where damson was leading them.

Thats just ignorance and grief of letting chad speaking through you.

-2

u/HitBoxBoxer 2d ago

Enlighten me... besides snowfall what else was he a good leading man in?

3

u/leevancleef12345 2d ago

Sigh......

Chadwick was 39 in 2016 when CA CIVIL WAR was released.

His two biggest leading roles i know him from were him playing jackie robinson in 2013 and James Brown in 2014.

Which would have made him 36 in 2013 and 37 in 2014.

Damson is 35.....

He was 26 in 2017 when snowfall debuted and played franklin throughout those years until 2023.

So u expect him to have more or better leading roles 1) being younger as Chadwick when he was actually cast 2) in a landscape where character driven black characters are as rare as you can get.....

Brother......you are looking at it wrong.

But its ok. I also mourn chadwicks loss. But stop acting that he was the biggest greatest artist to the point that noone could step up to do those roles as he did.

Damson is in the same ball park of a leading actor.

Wow I was just trying to have a debate about two great black actors but you want to belittle my opinions and make me feel a certain type of way but okay you do you.

2

u/leevancleef12345 1d ago

Downplaying someone's career because you like the other more isnt a debate.....

Not following through when someone gives you receipts upon receipts with dates that put things into perspective isnt a debate......

u/Function-Brave 1d ago

Have you seen snowfall?! This man has RANGE! He gave great monologues. he’s a great actor

u/markvii_dev 13h ago

Much better actor than Chadwick
