I just don't see how Black Panther is any more "diverse" than most other blockbuster movies by any meaningful definition that isn't just "diverse = black"

 

Also, first black director to do what exactly?

It’s just as diverse as any other diverse movie.

 

It’s special, one of a kind and different than any other blockbuster, because after 18th movies, its Marvel first 200 budget film given to a black director, starring a black superhero, with a ton of diverse black characters.

 

You know as well as I do that there’s nothing that’s been ever released that comes close to Black Panther. Don’t be dense. It’s not cute.

She should (and probably will) go back to small budget Oscar bait instead.

Its his personal blog about box office numbers. The man updates the things lots of times during the weekend. Plus it’s like 1 line.

One line that 100% does not belong in the article.

You know a black dude directed Fast and furious 8 which cost 250M right? 

 

Actually that series is much more diverse. It's got coloured people in form of Dwayne Johnson, Ludacris, Tyrese Gibson, Michelle Rodriguez. Fast 8 had an African villain too. Theres a mix of men and women, and of different ages.

Diverse in the current political sense means "non-white-male". It'll be easiest on everyone if you just roll with it.
