So "Black Panther" being the first film in Marvel's storied Cinematic Universe to be fronted by a black character is a big deal. Then factor in an almost entirely black cast led by a black director and the deal gets even bigger. What about an African state for once being portrayed as a beacon of technology and wonder? This deal is basically as good as it gets for Africans around the world who may feel underrepresented or misrepresented in film and TV.
There's a reason this video of black school kids in Atlanta losing their mind after being told they're seeing the movie made many a citizen's day.

So what does it mean for Africans?
It means for once African have been projected as a place of technology, and science development and all... Than the primitive picture films and media always paint of Africa.

Check out this video done to celebrate it.

Nothing.

Just more money for the Marvel's crew.

Nice movie but they just used marketting ideas.

More money

Black panther is a successful business venture period. It has nothing to do with you as a black person or Africa as a whole. Some white capitalists just became $m? Richer.

It's supposed to make Africans reason.... But they'll take it as just another film

Africa should embrace science and technology and be free from Western oppression

Its just fiction plus they wanted to capture a new market and they got it.

It won't hav even a single effect on naija as long as one useless idiot(buhari) is our presido. May be na afta 2019 it will hav effect.
