Black Panther was the very first black superhero in any main stream comic book to date appearing in 1966, obviously it was a big deal.

I used to absolutely love this character, the one from the comics I mean. I'm sad to say I don't anymore, because of how the character was treated left a lasting bad taste in my mouth, and all the changes made for this the adaptation to meet executive expectations, it just disgusts me. The 96% percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes tells me one thing, not one critics who reviewed it, had ever read a comic in his/her life's. This new MCU version started out strong with Chadwick Bozeman in Captain America: Civil War, and then quickly went down hill when this came out, I mean the sky was the limit and this was the best they could do.. come on now. It is just chock full of quiet political agendas, that are strewn through the picture, if you look hard enough it's there, all I can say is enough is enough. Black people are the best race ever we get it, everyone is entitled to there own opinions, just don't push it on the viewers. I appreciate what was trying to be done but everything else is just drowned out by all the BS. The really crappy character development, poor CGI that plagues the screen, along with all the comic book errors made throughout. You'd a company that produces and sells comics, would have said something to someone, hey this isn't right we should change this. Ryan Coogler the director who also co-wrote the movie is an untalented filmmaker, and Kevin Feige saw no issue with his script basically giving him complete control, which was the down fall of this dreadful film. I' am just so ashamed that not even Chadwick Bozeman talents as an actor could save this awful mess, he deserved so much more. Plus Andy Serkis was awesome as usual, a waste of potential, they replaced him with a black villain, that is now his long lost cousin or whatever, he didn't know existed, a plot that was made up for this movie, just magically shows up, knows where and how to find them in Wakanda. Ryan Coogler again showing his incredibly lazy skills at writing. What could have been in the hands of someone talented and competent. Not a good film period!.
