“A torture for the eyes”: Chinese moviegoers think Black Panther is just too black
>But the movie—which comes as a timely portrayal and celebration of blackness half a century after Martin Luther King Jr.’s assassination—is hardly resonating with Chinese audiences. On Douban, China’s IMDb-esque platform, the film holds a 6.8 rating out of 10 (link in Chinese)—almost half of science-fiction and action movies rated by Douban users have a better score. Outside of China,Black Pantheris on track to become the highest-rated superhero movie, according to Rotten Tomatoes; 97% of reviews from critics have been positive.
>Some moviegoers disliked Black Panther because they felt Marvel was trying too hard to be politically correct (link in Chinese). While many reviewers on Douban stopped short of leaving overtly racist comments about the film, many discussed their discomfort of being surrounded by so much blackness.
>“Maybe the Chinese are still not used to a film full of black people,” wrote one reviewer on Douban (link in Chinese). The commenter said he had to pinch himself more than 10 times to stay awake during the movie because “Black Panther is black, all the major characters are black, a lot of scenes are black, the car-chasing scene is black—the blackness has really made me drowsy.”
>Another reviewer who came into the theater late made a similar observation: “When I entered the theater, a bunch of black people was fighting in the night… I’ve never been in a theater so dark that I couldn’t find my seat.”
>Someone else said the experience was worse in 3D (link in Chinese): “The film is filled with black actors and actresses. Also, because the film’s colors are a bit dark, it’s nearly a torture for the eyes to watch the film’s 3D version in the theater.”
It’s yet another reminder of China’s limited exposure to race. Last month, in the annual Lunar New Year TV gala by China’s state broadcaster CCTV, producers had a Chinese actress in blackface and cast a black actor to play a monkey. In October, a Chinese museum hosted an exhibition titled “This is Africa” that juxtaposed images of black people to animals, including monkeys and cheetahs.
Still, Black Panther could be a start for Chinese people to learn about the black culture, argues writer Niesha Davis on Shanghai-based digital publication Sixth Tone. “Exposure to pop culture that encompasses diverse representations of black people can exert a powerful influence on how individuals conceive of them,” Davis wrote.

You should know that asians are racist them selves and hate blacks

How? It's a purely made up fictional culture, you'll learn more about white American culture by watching it then you will black culture
Adam Jackson
this rotten tomatoes was listing it the best movie in the century
Liam Lee
thats the thing every black person and libtard acted like this was the godfather of fucking capeshit movies. the god father itself is kind of overrated but still good solid gangster movie series
i think this is why "they cant have anything" it goes to their heads
Adam Turner
This. Blaxploitation movies were made by black people, starred black people, are we targeted towards a black audience and they know you had to shoot black people a certain way so you don't hurt your eyes trying to find them. The real dark skinned ones used to wear vaseline so you could actually see their features on film. The white director was too afraid of being called racist by asking for appropriate lighting and the ant colony of china isn't going to let that slide just because of "muh diversity"

Fuckin based

Poos hate nogs in America. I wonder how many realize the stupid cultural bullshit from America that they cheaply emulate over in India largely comes from the nogs.

It's a good capeshit movie, but it's not the greatest superhero film ever.

>these slant eyed insectoids are the same people that get threads posted about them where they curb stomp babies, boil cats alive, skin rats alive, crush dogs and drive over toddlers without stopping
>they didn't like a movie I also didn't like because nogs, they're based!
You sicken me.
Hudson Butler
nogs are basically on the same moral level as chicks, the only difference is they're much lazier
Sorry Trudeau for the mistake. Tell your wife's husband hello.
Ayden Richardson
Cuck you**
I've noticed a huge amount of subtle pro-Chinese threads being posted on Sup Forums lately.
Jayden Bell
I saw Black Panther a few nights ago.
Its fucking bad. Even if you ignore all the WE WUZ bs its such a badly paced movie.
It goes for an hour before you even see the antagonist. The first hour is just Niggers dancing in Wakanda and fighting for who is going to be king.
Then they introduce Claw who they call a "Coloniser" and kill him off as quickly as possible in the lamest way.
All through the movie there are little jabs at white civilization and how shit it is. Whites are refered to as "barbaric and broken" and Niggers are all saints that are being held down by them. Its easily one of the worst Marvel movies when you get past all the hype. Id rank it as low as Thor 2 or Iron Man 3.
What really pisses me off is they have hijacked the Infinity War movie to promote more Wakanda tier bs. Iv waited 10 years to see Thanos on the screen and iv got a feeling niggers are going to ruin it, because they have to be centre of attention in everything now.

Not happening in their communist society. Fucking capitalist pig.

I don't know about Sup Forums, but NatGeo is shilling hard for chinks at the moment.
Assange said over a year ago that China was "Monitoring the Alt Right" so who the fuck knows.
James Perry
Isn't this outfit an Indian outfit? How do you feel about nigs appropriating your shit?

Does anyone else watch the Poz Button alt right film review podcast?
Borzoi read off a bunch of Chinese comments about this movie and Star Wars, the Chinese keep criticizing it from a Communist perspective complaining about how the characters aren't fighting properly and should do it in a more Communist-like fashion, citing Mao and shit.
>timely portrayal and celebration of blackness What does that even mean? Are there celebrations of other races?
>Outside of China,Black Pantheris on track to become the highest-rated superhero movie, according to Rotten Tomatoes; 97% of reviews from critics have been positive.
Who would have fucking thought that a country famous for internet censorship would allow for more objective and honest reviews of this movie than the entire Western Hemisphere? I hate this world we live in.
Isaac Bailey
>.50c has been deposited into your account These threads reek of 50c, nothing overtly saying, "china numbah one," rather people saying, "rook, china isnt so bad, see we both disrike bracks."
Liam Miller
Yes! Their reviews are 50% pure no holds barred truth-telling, 50% convoluted and formalistic Marxist/Maoist interpretation essays.
John Sanchez
I'll let you know a little secret: Alt-right becoming mainstream is the best gift China would ever receive from the West. Why? Because two things: 1. Talented Chinese engineers and scientists would come back to China, the thing that Chinese government has tried to do for years 2. Talented Chinese mainlanders would be afraid to come to the West, thus stopping the brain drain and contribute to Chinese technology and economy.
So keep isolating Asians from the fight, you'll help China wonders.
Jordan Howard
the film just wasn't good in the first place literally the only reason it was rated so highly was because of nigger loving kikes giving out positive reviews
Luke Lee
Is brain dtain that big a deal though? What if they're wary of Western nationalists' potential protectionism, for instance, and are actually planning to fuck us over?
I think it reeks mostly of China-boo naïveté. It would take a genius to simulate the level of stupidity of a Westerner who thinks that under the based Chinese, everything will be better.
Jonathan Bailey
Its blackpilled people who prefer chinks to kikes and think whites are already doomed.
Joseph Wood
Probably because China hates niggers and white numales.
Owen Murphy
Asians are fine. Its the entitled darker races that breed out of control that are the problem.
Parker Martinez
They automatically watch movies in 2:1 aspect ratio
Jackson Ramirez
They have no source
Thomas Flores
No, it reaks of people realizing what a state that's free of Jewish control acts like, kike.
Ian Roberts
Brain drain is a very big deal. It happens in Vietnam and other developing countries too. Also think about this: All the talented Westernized Chinese scientists and engineers who got trained and studied from the best professors and universities of the West, now have to come back to China and bring back those knowledges, patents, and ways of managing efficiently.
Western nationalists' potential protectionism is the best gift to China you couldn't even imagine. Immediately after Trump was elected Xi Jinping went to Davos and promote globalization. Because the power vacuum must be fulfilled no matter what. If America doesn't want to be leader of the world and trade anymore, China will gladly take over.
That's good for both of us. We'll have less Chinese people changing our culture and voting on policies that help the homeland, and they'll have more engineers that can build functional elevators.
Blake Phillips
We'll also have a smaller number of democrats.
Jaxon Young
But what if all of Europe opts out of globalization too? It seems like a dangerous gambit for the Chinese economy. There ate so many pros and cons to Western nationalism from the Chinks' perapective, I really wonder where they stand on it.
I've read about them. What surprises me is how little their influence is felt. Like, if they're so big then where is all their shilling. Compare to Russia for example, one mention of rightful Ukrainian clay or some shit and they'll jump down your throat no matter what corner of the net you're in. The Chinese? Their shilling isn't very noticeable.
Jason Rodriguez
I highly doubt they support it. Too much money tied up in the West and millions of their people living amongst us. Altho i very rarely hear alt right types complaining about Asians. Its all the other people that are the problem.
Sebastian Williams
Good for a short term, for a long term you guys will be fucked. Do you know the story about the ONE chinese scientist who worked in NASA and got red-scared of working with CCP? Well, he got fucking upset and went back to China and single-handedly founded the entire Chinese space program.
Now imagine tens of thousands of the most talented Chinese scientists, programmers, engineers, professors got scared of racism and came back to China to use Western knowledge to contribute to every single field and industry? It will be like the BIGGEST reverse brain drain the world would ever see, and America would get so behind in tech the next 10 years you guys couldn't imagine.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qian_Xuesen >Qian Xuesen, or Hsue-Shen Tsien (11 December 1911 – 31 October 2009), was a Chinese engineer who contributed to aerodynamics and rocket science. Recruited from MIT, he joined Theodore von Karman's group at Caltech, including the founding of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory.[1] Later, he returned to China as Qian Xuesen and made important contributions to China's missile and space program.
>During the Second Red Scare, in the 1950s, the US federal government accused him of communist sympathies. In 1950, despite protests by his colleagues, he was stripped of his security clearance.[2] He decided to return to China, but he was detained at Terminal Island, near Los Angeles.[3]
>After spending five years under virtual house arrest,[4] he was released in 1955 in exchange for the repatriation of American pilots who had been captured during the Korean War. He left the United States in September 1955 on the American President Lines passenger liner SS President Cleveland, arriving in China via Hong Kong.[5]
>Upon his return, he helped lead the Chinese nuclear weapons program. This effort ultimately led to China's first successful atomic bomb test and hydrogen bomb test, making China the fifth nuclear weapons state, and achieving the fastest fission-to-fusion development in history. Additionally, Qian's work led to the development of the Dongfeng ballistic missile and the Chinese space program. For his contributions, he became known as the "Father of Chinese Rocketry", nicknamed the "King of Rocketry
Ethan Hill
The West is currently becoming a giant, bloated, defenseless mess, ripe for plunder and conquest by anyone who's hungry and got his head screwed on straight. It makes sense to me that the Chinese would do all they can to support and amplify this trajectory.
Brandon Phillips
Go use weibo and say that.
Or mention Falun Gong on youtube or Twitter by talking about how its good.
They post all the time on western things, they are just more subtle than saying, "China numbah one!"
Camden Young
Who cares? Chinks are pretty much decrepit filth, anyone that’s actually dealt with them knows this to be true. They’re basically like weird insect looking manlet Jew people with the dicks of children. I never understood why they’re such narcissists. I wouldn’t want to be them, sounds gross.

Link? and what is CCP, why the chinese afraid of it?

Yes, kike. Watching another state exhibit ethnic control makes us whites want to murder the fuck out of you to have it too. And we're going to.
