Yes Wakanda is fictional, it depicts an Africa that could have been if we got our acts right.
It tells you there is nothing wrong in being in touch with your Africa roots and being advanced in society at the same time.
Forget the movie and focus on the story

Okay I just had to make this thread with my free time, to address this issue. Let me start by saying that I am a huge fan of black panther ever since I fist saw him in one of the Marvel comics I bought in my early high school days. I was absolutely hyped when I saw him in Avengers civil war. So when they announced 2 years ago, that they were making a movie solely for him. . . You could understand my excitement. However, my excitement has now become absolute detest for the whole thing with the sheer and willful exhibition of absolute IGNORANCE and stupidity by Africans regarding this movie. I get it, a whole lot of you want to behave and even be black Americans but we should realize, just because they do somethings and act a certain (dumb) way doesn't mean we should act that way too, after-all nobody made them the gold standard. I hear people saying victory for Africa, black power, black excellence, Finally, we did it! . . . Simply because of this movie based on FICTION. FICTION being the key word here. If it were Amadioha, Sango or some other arguably mythical being... or maybe Shaka Zulu or Pharaoh Taharka that would have been a different case and an acknowledgement of Africa's history. I can't tell you just how repulsed I am but this should sum it up and show you guys SCREAMING black power just how stupid you are.

1, The movie is based on FICTION : Getting emotional over it, is equivalent to when you felt bad as a child because hulk hogan lost a fight.

2, There was no original African music in the album : Highlife,Afrobeat,9ja contemporary,hiplife, kwaito,Soukous whatever! Just black Amerian music.

3, I don't remember seeing white people wearing greek Togas, Spartan capes, Roman togas or Viking helmets, hammers and battle axes when 300, Thor, Alexander the great movies were made. Shouting white power upanddan. Let alone a movie that is based on a fictional character from a place called Wakanda. So why are we going "BLACK POWER, BLACK EXCELLENCE, VICTORY FOR AFRICA" crazy?

4, Captain America is American,Bucky Barnes is American, Red Skull is German, Tony Stark is American, WHERE THE Bleep IS WAKANDA?!

5, What impact will this movie have on Africa in any way possible? Please somebody tell me because I just feel angry and embarassed by the ongoing foolery.

Don't get me wrong, I think it is a great movie and people should go out and see it, but screaming black power and wearing African attire and playing drums. . . come on, you guys are just epitomizing stupidity.

Ode people are hyped because its the first marvel film about blacks. Where do blacks originate from? Is it not Africa so your points are shit.

Your post is as useless as your education, as you clearly have a comprehension impairment.
You read the entire post, and the title yet somehow missed the point. At this juncture, it is fair to assume you wouldn't get the point even if it smacked you in the face with a signboard. Clearly shows your brain is on Yakubu Aiyegbeni mode.

A movie is based on one thing = The storyline, so to forget the movie you would also have to forget the storyline, Nigerians and their senseless ideologies sha. Forget the movie, focus on the story. That is probably the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard lol

Even Silverbird Cinema is not left out,they are hyping this black panther stuff no be small.
Yesterday in V.I, I saw a crowd of young people mostly girls, dressed scantically with a bus following them, playing music,a guy was at the front dressed in black panther custom walking like a hero. I later saw Silverbird logo on the girls' shirt and on the bus.
I was like na wa oh,has it gotten to this?

My good people, here is a good example of how people fail in their academics.

So in your reverse-educated mind, you actually think you made sense with this post?

In your supposed rant, you clearly thought the celebration was because the movie is about black panther. Sorry to burst your bubble but the celebration is not about black panther as a movie. It is a celebration of the movie industry coming full circle and giving a major headline, big budget movie a black cast steeped in excellence. If you still don't understand why it is a big deal, maybe you should first of all, get to studying (if you know how to) the history of race and racism in the film/movie industry.

Secondly, it is big in america mostly because the movie's (with it's historical significance and context) release is in February - which in America is Black History month. Get it? (that is also why the movie company slated the release to sync, for maximum effect and profits - it s still someone's biz you know )

Thirdly, within the context of the movie, though it might be fiction, it epitomises independence and excellence set in african landscape which is contrary to already formed opinions/stereotypes about africa as a land of uncivilized, primitive people in need of constant help and support (Que Donald Trump's 'shithole' comment some weeks ago). The movie is already helping to shape narratives towards the positive in this context. A whole lot of foreigners are ignorant in this aspect.


These issues may seem trivial to you, as a shortsighted individual that you are. If you ever lived outside the shores of the african continent then maybe you would begin to understand the weight of shaping narratives. Just like Chimamanda Adichie has been trying to do by shaping the mindsets of foreigners towards africa through FICTION and breaking away the laid down history from a single story point of view, as told by colonialists. I'm sure you never understood why she is widely celebrated.

So, next time before you start spewing brain farts, do some reading and studying on the subject in question before making a fool of yourself in public. And the music/soundtrack to the movie is not chiefly american music, if you must know. The artistes are mostly black and african (with exception of james blake), from europe, africa and america. Which on its own, is nod to the cohesion of the black race across continents.

Movies might be FICTION, but there's a lot that goes into movie projects by way of subliminal messaging which has a lot of stakes behind it.
Have you ever wondered what africa would have been like as at today, without the interference of the foreigners - arabian, european and american? That is the sub-message behind the movie. Maybe you should study some history and be informed context-wise. Before the slavery era, africans were technologically advanced and educated, and were kings in EUROPE, yes, the same europe!

You need to get your reasoning upgraded, from the kindergaten level where it is at the moment, to that of an aware black adult. READ!!

All this rant for a work based on fiction. Men, I don't even know where to start - cultural significance based on a fictional "black figure" from a fictional "black african country" in a cat suit made out of a non existing mysterious metal material, right? Getting carried away in all this trash comic based "pro black" sentiment wouldn't get you anywhere, Africans tend to do this a lot. We got carried away when Obama was elected, did the perception of the world change regarding black people? Hell No, if that didn't work then how is it that arm chair, self made intellectuals and pro africa historians (we were kings in Europe? Tell me something I don't know lol) like yourself, for some strange reason think that the african male version of cat woman would change peoples perception towards Africa?. We have real powerful african figures and history to fall back on and has that changed the perception of other races towards Africans? No but for some strange reason the male cat woman movie would do it right?

Hannibal of Carthage, No I am not proud of him
Tirhakah, the nubian pharaoh , No I am not proud of him
Mansa Musa of Mali, No not proud of him either
The pyramids of Giza, No I am not proud of those mysterious wonders of the earth
Timbuktu, No not proud of that either
The Aba women riot- One of the first ever all female marches that ever took place, but guess what? I am not proud of them either

BUT DO YOU KNOW WHAT I AM PROUD OF? The male version of cat woman ruling over a fictional african nation and fighting bad guys in a metallic cat suit. THAT THERE IS ALL THE BLACK HISTORY I NEED. Next time our children need an African to look up to, how about we forget the people mentioned above and just tell them about King Tchala the black panther, that ought to fuel the African kids with the fire of pan- africanism, right?

I love the movie black panther but there is ABSOLUTELY no cultural relevance to the fictional movie black panther and African history or Africa as it could have been in the past or as it is today. Get that into your thick skulls. HOW ON EARTH DO YOU THINK YOU CAN CHANGE PEOPLES PERCEPTION OF AFRICA BASED ON A SUPER HERO MOVIE? Dumb phucks!

obviously you are the dumb fucck in this arena because you have no sense of comprehension. If the drivel you have up there is the only thing you understood from the submission, then you need to go back to primary school and tell your english teacher to tutor you on comprehension all over again. Trying to enlighten you further on any of the above will be wasted effort. You just read to retort, instead of reading to understand within given context before responding.

Go and study social structures and mind alteration with the broader aspects of general black history and the attendant issues of race therein, then, maybe then, you might begin to have an iota of comprehension within the context of why people are identifying with the CONCEPT of the FICTIONAL MOVIE.

Hate to say it but you took things a little too personal, and got blown outta water mate.
OP has some very valid point and even though I agree it might mean a lot to black Americans. I do not see the need for Africans to join in the ridiculous carnival like celebrations. The Music also wasn't African at all!
