How come people were so willing to support the Black hero's movie but not the Asian or Latino one?

Americans worship blacks as gods on earth, but hate chinamen for taking high skilled labor and hate latinxoids for taking low skilled labor. It probably doesn't help that blacks don't do the whole labor thing anymore.
Yeah we'll talk a big game about "diversity" and inclusivity for all but what we really mean is just making America black. Nobody cares about Asian or Latino representation.
Yup. Even lefties don't give one frick about Asians or Latinos being represented.
Then how do you explain this?
An attempt to blame whites for urban (see: diverse) violence against asians, and even then, all non-asians stopped caring about it after they performed their religious right (week of crying about it)
>blacks get an entire summer of riots and looting, as well as a new national holiday to thank them for there service
>asians get a hashtag that was astroturfed for like a week
not really comparable, is it?
I think it’s funny. Especially since most of the violent crimes committed against Asians at that time were done by black homeless men. And yet the Asian community still considered whites the enemies.
it's pretty fricked up when you actually think about it
>And yet the Asian community still considered whites the enemies
It's almost like they massacred Asians, colonized their countries, and are a constant source of pain and suffering.
Delusional. You basically stated that Asians have no spines or integrity. What was one of the grandest empires that literally raped every nation they went to? Oh yeah it was an Asian one, the Mongolians. Dipshit
Yeah? Hate to tell you this, America doesn't have a massive mongol population.
Also not true for much of Asia anyway. Europeans were a far bigger scourge.
Hate to tell you this, but you're dense and need to accept when your comfortable algorithm, of how you perceive the world, no longer works. You're a conspiracy theorist who's grouped a diverse set of people into one continent as if that continent is all one empire. I can think of nothing sadder than bumass Europe living in your head rent free
>powerful races can wage wars and conquests
>powerless races are killed and enslaved
wow that's crazy
1: Race is not real. 2: By that logic anything Asians do is justified simply through the fact they do it.
>constant source of pain and suffering.
you're a male hapa, sorry you were born with a smol dick and girls aren't into you.
Also
>constant source of pain and suffering.
>lives in a white country
Lmao
huh?
chinese are so fricking frail and timid
theyre grandpa gets his head stomped by urban americans and all they do in return is complain online
ayaaaaa ching chong prease no step on gong gong preeeease
>black people retaliate
>hurr look at Black folk being subhuman savages
>asian people don't resort to violence
>lol they so timid
Just admit you're a dickhead and will find a reason to shit on others.
Retaliate, bruh wtf
retaliate?
he means burn their neighbourhoods and murder some of their folks
their?
>Then how do you explain this?
After a series of mostly peaceful assaults on asians by naggers, the media declared white people are a threat to asians.
Black Panther was actually made for Black people. It was filled with dog whistles and other cultural messages that only we could relate to. The way how Wakanda ignored other parts of the African diaspora is relevant to the tensions that exist between African Americans and other Black people today. Disney got an excellent director in Ryan Coogler instead going with the typical woke Blacks that Hollywood promotes.
I never watched any of the 2010's capeshit until Black Panther. I pretty much had no choice but to watch it because everyone else around me was talking about it for weeks. The relationship between Killmonger and T'Challa was pretty much like that of the integrationists (MLK) and the Black nationalists (Malcolm X). Infinity Wars was a better movie though.
Black people are truly the only "real Americans." Everyone else that came here brought their own culture with them. The Natives had their own culture. Black people had to make their own culture here. American culture is Black culture.
>American culture is Black culture.
The fact that you think this is worth bragging about is pretty pathetic.
Y'all don't have to like it, but it's true. Black people drive culture in America. Whether it's jazz, rock n' roll or hip hop most American cultural trends were created by Blacks. The upside to this is that American culture has become the most kino culture in the history of the world. The downside is that Black degeneracy spreads to everyone else. Look at all these bugged out Zoomers. They're more Black personish than me.
Instead blackwashing or brownwashing existing characters and stories, I think Hollywood would be better off making new shit. I don't wanna live in world with mulatto mermaids or diversity "dwarves." Dis shit's not right bros.
>black culture drives america
Black person worship is what american culture, and THATS what drives america, dont get it mixed up
The absolute state
>American culture has become the most kino culture in the history of the world
Well he's a Black person so...
1.lmao
2.yes
>Americans worship blacks as gods on earth
This
Half the country does but that half aligns with the mainstream media which demonizes the half that does not.
Murica bows to Saint George Floyd.
it's because it put African shit first and foremost which is rare, he also has affiliation with Avengers and could ride the hype. Big actors, prominent musicians on score, etc. The African influence is integral to the film.
What did Shang-Chi have besides wasting Tony Leung? COVID fricked up the plot beyond recognition it's jarring. People were at least excited at the idea of a martial arts focused film. But China was more of just a necessary setting. How did it go from uncovering his history and a revenge plot about assassination turning out of nowhere into the dad going moron mode, summoning shadow demons, and then awakening a water dragon?
Blue Beetle has genuinely nothing unique going on for it so not shocked.
Why are Americans so obsessed? All this worship seems unhealthy.
I hate both chinks and Black folk
Americans worship a Black person regurgitation of their culture, because that's what "black culture" is.
This
Americans are weird. Chinamen and latinx are atleast better looking, than black people.
Black Panther came out around the peak of capeshit and MCU
But I'd say that Shang Chi was moderately successful because the MCU still had some goodwill left, but now people are pretty much done with capeshit, if Shang Chi came out today it would've flopped big time just like that shitty blue beetle nonsense
shang chi was a huge flop
Both black panther movies did well, even with chadwicks death and those ugly women as leads.
Wait, BP2 did well? How the frick, that movie was dogshit
Compared to normal movies, it was successful. Compared to BP 1, it had worse reviews across the board and made a lot less money. So define “success” how you will.
Black folk are irresponsible with money, so taking a payday loan to take the whole family to see black panther seems reasonable to them. Asians are more responsible and would rather just watch the movies from their country of orgin, and hispanics have more important things to waste money on, like a 4,000 dollar quinceanera
This. Market research shows the people most likely to spend money on frivolous shit are blacks and women. That's why every advertisement has black women in it.
Asi es amigo, yipi yipi andale!!!!
It's mostly this. Women and blacks are the perfect consumer drones.
Because Black Panther is actually a good movie, Shang Chi was totally forgettable, and no one gives a shit about Mexicans a month after Barbenheimer.
Black panther is objectively not a good movie
Shang Chi is better. But overall- all of them sucks
The early acts were ok, the finale stinks of the usual need to have big CGI battles.
Shang-Chi was kino and I'm tired of Cinemaphile pretending it's not.
I loved it, but the part when Michelle Yeoh started loredumping about demon bats, my brain broke. Too much stuff crammed in this movie.
>Shang-Chi was kino and I'm tired of Cinemaphile pretending it's not
The Shang-Chi comic is kino. The movie is nothing like it.
Frick off.
This is just wuxia chinese make this slop every year since the 60s.
How about you?
Master of Kung Fu was pure kino
it's like 2 different movies crammed into 1 with a 3rd movies ending.
No it wasn't I still remember parts of BP, i barely remember anything of Shang Shi other than, they in SF than Bus scene happens, they go to hong kong, the pit tournament, they fight on some construction building then they get kidnap by their dad, the dinner scene, they in jail, they found fake mandrin, they escape they go to forest, they go to portal, shangra la, Michael Yeoh, they train, the father goons show up, they attack, they unleash evil demons, father sacrifice himself, guy defeats demons, they win.
I couldn't enjoy the bus scene as much because I'm one of the 5 people who saw this movie and kept thinking about how it had a better bus fight scene.
It would've been better without akwafina. It really needed an eye candy instead of a comic relief. Most wuxias have an eye candy as female lead. Look at Stephen Chow movies for example.
I liked the movie, even didn't mind Awkwafina. But the best part of the movie was the 'villain', and the cgi fight at the end was fricking boring. Simu wasn't a very good Shang-Chi imo.
It really isn't; the third act just shat the bed with cgi demons
is there anything more patronizing than putting a racial sticker on a random movie and saying, "this one is [yours], support [race] by consuming it or never get another chance to do it again"
like imagine making the flintstones live action with a cherokee leading character. everything is the same shitty movie except that cherokee. c'mon consume, its YOUR movie lmao
Based
based is a slur sisters, stop using it
Expanded facial planes, ywnbaw
They don’t cry loud enough
And for asians, there’s a continent full of Asian cinema with a lot of kinos, so it’s not something special that has to beg for attention
>continent full of Asian cinema with a lot of kinos
Yeah, because Wolf Warrior 2 is the true definition of ‘kino’
Top 10 action movies of the decade. Wujing is great.
No one cares about your propaganda slop,Chang, no matter what your glorious President Xi tells you.
Drunken master 2 is chink propaganda doesn't stop it from being kino.
There's no Changs here only a bunch of israelite loving Christians.
The least cynical answer I can give is Black Panther had a really good introduction in the Civil War movie.
Came out when Avengers 3 was about to release, was actually a decent movie with shit cgi and like one cringe line from Killmonger, Shang Chi I mean Asians would probably just watch Korean shows or Anime honestly, Latinos would rather self insert as a white man with blue eyes instead and more then likely just don't like being pandered too, and the pandering that does happen is fricking cringe their culture isn't cool unless it's Aztecs or Cartels
Those are the only reasons I can come up with honestly
I didn't like the solo Black Panther movie, for a few more reasons just the cgi. It's kind of on par with Shang Chi in terms of overall quality.
Their phone screens told them to worship the black one, not the other ones, and that’s what they did. Picrel is what I’m talking about.
Black Panther came out when cape movies were still swinging in popularity and he's a fairly well known character. Far fewer people have heard of Shang Chi or Blue Beetle and what's more important still is that the whole cultural reception to these comic book movies has taken a turn recently and even hardcore fans are feeling fatigue.
Shang Chi was just a sloppy movie so probably never would have flown, but if Blue Beetle came out when Aquaman did, instead of after this huge string of flops then it would probably be received better. As is, after seeing how hard they dropped the ball with Flash, no one was going to think BB would be anything other than hot rehashed trash. There's a point I would have loved a Blue Beetle movie, at this point I couldn't care less.
>Far fewer people have heard of Shang Chi
Shang-Chi was more popular than Guardians of the Galaxy for sure
Master of Kung Fu lasted longer and sold better than Moon Knight
Yeah, but again Guardians came out at the height of these and was a better movie with a larger cast of better known actors. Shang Chi did better than Eternals at least and will do better than Blue Beetle despite being a worse movie. So much of this is timing.
None of the Guardians films came out during Covid lockdowns. Shang-Chi released during Covid.
That's the entire difference. Again, it was the #2 movie in America that year.
I'm just saying if it's release was swapped with Guardians it would have done even better
it it had released in 2019 or 2022 it would have made 600-800 million pretty easily. And that with no China.
because they haven't watched enough porn with asian and latino male actors. if the leads in shang chi or blue beetle were asian women and latinas, then it would do a lot better.
Because Black Panther came out when Marvel was still hyped up everywhere. Shang Chi came out on the tail end of that so still made some money. DC has released bomb after bomb with their recent string of movies being ones people give even less shit about, Latino or not.
Shang-Chi came out in the 2020-2021 period when theaters were kill. At 400 million it was the #6 worldwide grossing American film, and #2 domestically that year.
Would have been #1 but No Way Home released in late December when theaters finally resuscitated. No film in 2020 made more money than Shang-Chi did in 2021.
Domestically, Shang-Chi outgrossed DUNC, Godzilla vs Kong, Fast 9, No Time to Die and Venom 2.
Shang Chi got 430 million lol
That's huge considering he's relatively unknown
It was the highest domestic grossing movie in all of 2020 thru 2021, discounting No Way Home, which cleaned up around Christmas 2021 when Covid "ended".
DCEU's brand is dead. They taught people to view these shows as a giant TV serial and then they canceled the serial. Who cares what happens next?
Shang Chi is just plain bad.
Panther isn't good either, but it came along at the right time. It just got lucky,
Films do not "luck" into a billion in box office. You are straight delusional.
There's nothing wrong with Shang-Chi, even Aquafina is tolerable in it, which is saying something.
>Films do not "luck" into a billion in box office.
The only MCU property that reliably shits the bed is Ant-Man. People just don't buy into Rudd's dopey dad hero thing at all.
Kek
Why are they like this?
Watch videos about decomposing American snacks and how there's legit mind-destroying bug remains in there. I can't even hate the mutts, they live in a truly dreadful israelite utopia.
Asian - Trap
Latino - Gay
Black - Chad
The black guy in OP died of ass cancer. He's also gay.
Mexicans don't give a shit about representation when they have telemundo
This. Latinos and Asians have their own movie industry. Black people don't actually own shit, we're just lucky enough to be employed by the israelites. The closest thing to a Black movie industry is the goofy Nollywood shit or the bad Tyler Perry / BET shit that only caters to Black women. And BET is owned by israelites.
I find it funny that Hollywood went all in on capeshit and is now suffering for it. The only superhero movies that draw dimes are the ones with heroes we already know and like. I've never heard of Blue Beetle until this summer. But the "success" of the vastly inferior Black Panther 2 can be attributed to the propensity of Blacks to gobble up whatever Hollywood puts in front of them.
As far as I can tell, Hollywood is basically Black people's movie industry. If you're Asian, you can watch Asian stuff.
Shang Chi and Crazy Rich Asians made a billion dollars.
They didn't. Disney was flush with cash and they bought their own tickets for BP and CM. They wanted Endgame to do numbers, they wanted to shill for diversity and they wanted to own the chuds. But now with that Hulu nut pending in a year of flops, Disney is too broke for a repeat of such shenanigans, so we see how unprofitable these ventures truly are
And was it worth spending all that money just to own the chuds?
A normal person wouldn't think it's worth it but to Mr. Shekelstein it is
Better advertising plus no one cares about DC
because israelites only want black lives to matter
Only neonazis hold a methhead who put a gun against a pregnant woman's belly in contempt.
It's simple - latinxkeks don't have any money to go to cinema and asians don't go because they cannot see a screen over the seats in front of them.
>How come people were so willing to support the Black hero's movie but not the Asian or Latino one?
Black Panther (and Captain Marvel) were lead ups to Infinity War and the story was compelling for lots of people. Nothing to do with race at all.
Not that they were bad movies but they just did way more biz because of this. Chadwick died which was part of it, but also explains the HUGE dropoff in box office for Black Panther 2.
Will also explain the huge dropoff in BO for The Marvels.
Also the Blue Beetle movie looked horrible and uninteresting from the trailer, was a guaranteed bomb.
blacks have low iq. They supports whoever cater to their thin ego.
Asians and Latinas actually have their own unique culture and won't play well with this white liberal's mind ame.
>All Latinos MCU fans wanted was a Latino hero in the MCU with hype that was on par with Black Panther at the time
>Blacks on social media took offense and gaslighted the shit out of any Latino even making the suggestion
>5 years later and the MCU still doesn't have a major project headlined by one
>Still no White Tiger, Nova or Ghost Rider
>Get a butchered America and fricking Echo
>Miguel made to look like an ass in Spiderverse compared to the black spidermen
>Probably will get a MCU Miles so blacks can take credit for that one too
>Now Blue Beetle comes out with its shitty numbers and black people on social media using it to dunk on Latinos
I'm not even mad anymore just tired
>nova
God I hope they do Dick Ryder instead of the little kid if they make a Nova movie
There is no point watching Shang Chi when I can just watch actual wuxia made by HK or Taiwan. Tony Leung was the only good part of the film and there's like an entire decade of HK films that has him as the main character.
>people were so willing to support the Black hero's movie
Here's the spoiler and the reveal, they were not. Dun Duh Dun Dun. Its called creating a market (via racial segregation blaxploitation flicks rebooted).
I want to see a thiccc latina woman sit on mens faces and demand they tell her where the plans or money or who gives a shit about the plot.
Everything Everywhere All at Once was a massive hit
The Latino and Asian community doesn't have the same agenda strength. Sorry.
American culture is centered on Black folk. They worship them in their endless exercise in self-flagellation.
>Implying anyone on this lebanese juggling forum has a wife
In America, whites are brainwashed into worshiping blacks, not latinos.
apparently blacks are the most likely to get scammed with racebait shit spread on a low effort garbage
>Omg, the first Asian superhero appeared in Shazam! Now I can relate.
Said no Asian ever.
The Black panther was a good movie and the MCU was in its prime. Shang-Chi was mediocre and Marvel declined hard.
Black folks also fanatically support and go to movies with a majority-Black cast.
Because there wasn't 24/7 propaganda demanding you give a frick about the asian or latinos
Blacks are obsessed with their own identity to an insane degree. The fact is Black Panther's success was manufactured, but every time I post this some dumb nog will post incredulously asserting that's obviously not true.
Don't think so stupid? Take your fat black ass to Google and search "black panther tickets charity" or "celebs who gave away black panther tickets". Virtually every black millionaire in the country bought out multiple theaters, and dozens of black charity organizations also bought out theaters, to the tune of millions of fricking dollars. If Elon Musk makes a movie for a dollar, releases it in theaters, then buys eight billion dollars worth of tickets with no one else able to even buy any, does that make it the most successful movie in history? No, that's a vanity project, manufactured, fraudulent. Just like Black Panther. Need further proof? Look up how garbage the toys sold. Look up polls of kids favorite superhero and note that the character didn't become much more popular after the film. It had zero cultural impact.
I have a crush on Jaime Reyes. He is so handsome. I hope they'll cast Tanner Buchanan in the sequel as Jaime's best friend or Jaime's favorite cousin.
Black Panther was clearly fixxed numbers
Latinos don't like DC because Batman is a fascist.
That is super dishonest OP.
>Black Panther is popular
>BP is marvel
>BP was at the height of marvels triumph
>the rest are no name characters
>one is even DCU
There is no wonder BP did good, but I suppose that didnt fit your narrative.
this
who the frick is shang chi?
i heard of blue beetle but would rank him lower than static shock on familiarity
a really obscure Kung Fu superhero created during the Bruce Lee craze of the 1970s.
basically an obscure character Marvel used once every decade in a few one off issues.
Disney made it hoping it would appeal to the Chinese audience but Sima Lu, no matter how hard they try will never be a star in China
Disney is still trying though
Oh frick... blue beepis is actually out. I thought people were just memeing. They didn't put any ads or anything. I was looking forward to a big flopadoodoo but it seems like they didn't even wind up a swing so nobody cares
blacks are basically monolithic and you have a segment of whites who worship them.
Asians and Hispanics aren't monolithic. Shang Chi is a Chinese guy. most other Asians don't like the Chinese. with Hispanics it becomes even more complex
not only do they come from different Latin American countries with different traditions but various stages of assimilation. roughly 1/3rd of US Hispanics are basically like this
>pic related
2nd gen half white, 3rd gen 3/4th white
then you have Hollywood's generic homogenized Latinx culture which is a weird blend of leftist Chicano and activist Puerto Rican culture mixed with hip hop. who's that supposed to appeal to?
you can micro target certain Hispanic groups but you won't be able to make some kind of cultural moment because you can never appeal to them in a homogenized way. it won't work.
tl.dr
*Black Americans
But, other than that, I agree.
Social contagion. Blacks must be worshipped. No one really knows why.
Because they're the antithesis of the whites.
this is the kind of thing Chinese people like. this movie has been in the top 3 for months China.
another Chinese fantasy movie with white face. it look hilarious
blacks are lower iq and thus easier to trick
asians and latinos are not baited by such pandering
DC is dead. Shang chi did well for a covid restrictions release, it even helped cinemas by encouraging other studios to release their movies. Black Panther also had a pretty good performance overseas where people don't buy the social movement thing as much as Americans, they just thought it was a fun movie. It boils down to how appealing to the concept is:
Warrior, KANG with a cat costume and gadgets>Kung-fu man>
rip-off with the same mexican hollywood stereotypes for the 1000000...th time
Shang-chi was kino
Black Panther got the Sound of Freedom treatment but inorganically. Freedom had millions of people donating money they acquired from producing value and providing a platform for free tickets if you wanted to see it. Black Panther had funny money from banks filtering through NGO's and they did the same thing.
