I judge the importance of a movie through my tastes and nothing else, I don't mix my political views with entertainment (videogames, movies, animes..). I see both TDK's "no good person" philosophical theme and BP changing how black's view themselves and the global concept of Africa and there is no comparison. BP's importance is greater in scope, depth, significance, etc by light years. And ignoring all of that isn't simply a different "lense". It's willful ignorance, point blank.

Not everything in life is political or ideological. What BP did for Africa and black people as a whole is great, and as a result the success is deserved. However, in my opinion Black Panther is a good comicbook movie but not one of my favorites while Frozen is one of my favorites animated movies and gave me much more emotion than BP. As a result I see Frozen as the most important film and the better one as well. It's not willful ignorance, it's just tastes...It's very simple to understand.

Because i totally LOVE Frozen. And talking about Frozen, its WW gross reported on BOM is uncorrect, as it doesn't take into account the 2M or so it got from a recent one-week rerelease in the UK.

Why point this out over and over and over? And you guys only do it for Black Panther. Why does the success of this movie threaten you guys so much?

Oh don't worry they find a way to mention Avatar in pretty much all threads regardless of the movies (or even the non-movie) subject. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZeeSoh Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 For fans of the highest grossing movie, they are the most insecure bunch I have ever seen. They’re like the North Korean or east asian people who get paid to spread propaganda except it seems like these bunch get paid for how many times they mention Avatar or Cameron 😂 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DH2 will survive 2 back to back close calls. But it will most likely go out of the top 10 next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
