    I guess this is the other fun part, I haven't seen BP yet, but heard the antagonist was allied with BLM and the Whacaodans (SP) were essentially espousing alt-right ideologies of isolationism and genetic purity homogony.

    Yes, the SJWs complained too. So did the alt-right. They complained about Black Panther (even going so far as to fake attacks to try to discourage people from going), they complained about Wonder Woman, they complained about the new Star Wars movies, etc. etc. Not sure how you missed all of that.

    Isolationism, yes. A big theme of the film is a reversal of that isolationism, though. Didn't hear anything about "genetic purity" or BLM in the film.

    Marvel isn't going anywhere anytime soon, they've owned the box office every other time previously and they'll do it again.

    Not sure where you heard any of that from, but it's completely wrong. The bad guy's problem was that he saw Wakanda had all that technology and ability to help others around the world but never did. Granted, Wakanda had no obligation to do anything and never did but that was his problem, aided by how BP's father just left him stuck in Oakland as a kid.

    Except . . . Star Wars was successful. And the Disney Marvel films (Disney has owned the MCU for a while now) have been more successful than the Fox Marvel films.

    None of these ventures has failed at all, not even close. Unless all 19 MCU films making over $17.4 billion worldwide is considered "failure."

    Sure would like to see those articles. I wouldn't doubt it though, the alt-right are collectivists like SJWs. They also have pretty much the same economic ideologies like the left too...

    Star Wars the last jedi was freakn sjw garbage.

    The critics claimed it was awesome at 91% on the tomato meter, but the actual public rated it 51%.

    It was on par with Sharknado

    That's what isolationists get when they don't allow immigrants. As for BLM, I guess its a fictional group in the movie killmonger was incharge of that could mirror BLM. I want to watch the movie.

    But Killmonger wasn't in charge of any group at all, it was mostly just him.

    It is a failure when you destroy 30 years fandom, to produce sharknado in space

    Lol, so your definition of "failure" has nothing to do with how the films actually performed, but only your subjective opinion and some alt-right poll. Look at the actual popularity of the films for a sec. They weren't failures.

    Most of the Star Wars fans I know loved the new Star Wars films, and ticket sales seem to indicate others feel the same. Most of the Marvel fans I know have loved the Disney Marvel movies. Again, the ticket sales support their feelings.
