Black Panther
SCORE: 66
I am very thankful Disney sent Family Friendly Gaming a reviewable
copy of Black Panther on Blu-ray + Digital. This is also known as the
Multi-Screen Edition. I was concerned about Black Panther for two
reasons. The radical far left was falling over themselves concerning
this movie. The second reason is the Black Panther comic books are known
to be racists, controversial and highly divisive. Is any of that content
found within this movie?
Sadly the answer to that question is a yes. Black Panther does contain
some racist content. Black Panther encourages violence against white
people. Black Panther treats white people like third class citizens. If
that were not bad enough there is a huge plot hole in Black Panther. The
story claims a meteorite filled with vibranium came to Earth. Five
tribes fought over it until some vibranium infused plant gave someone
enhanced strength and other senses. They then became technologically
advance. See the hole?
If you missed the hole that is okay. Vibranium is described as the
strongest metal in the universe, and a power source. How do you get from
strong metal, and a power source to computers, programs, and other
advanced technology? It does not connect for me. But then Stan Lee has
not been known for real science in his stories. He is known for fantasy
and giant plot holes.
Black Panther is very action packed. There are plenty of exciting scenes
with battles. In many ways the Black Panther cheats when fighting
others. He has a suit that makes himself bullet proof. Plus he can
return kinect energy after absorbing enough blows. The main storyline in
Black Panther is revenge. It is strange that such an "advanced" culture
uses trial by combat (to the death or yielding) as a way of leadership
transfer.
The issues families can have with Black Panther (on top of previously
mentioned ones) are violence, blood, lack of attire, bad language, false
gods, ancestors beliefs, contacting the dead, and more. Bonus content
includes From Page to Screen, Deleted Scenes, Gag Reel, Crowning of a
new King, The Warriors Within, The Hidden Kingdom Revealed, Wakanda
Revealed, Sneak Peek at Ant Man and the Wasp, Marvel Studios the First
Ten Years, and More.
Black Panther has a come home feel good moment where Wakanda finally
decides to share their technology and help the rest of the world. Well
with black people at least. Black Panther reminds me of the Tower of
Babel in this regard. The whole debate of bringing in others and
accepting their problems was an interesting one. How they changed so
quickly was a bit too convenient. African themes are found throughout
Black Panther.
