Once again, Disney knows exactly what it’s doing. If they are putting the movies onto D+ sooner it’s for a very specific reason.

I disagree… I don’t think they know exactly what they are doing… but I am sure Disney will figure it out… I am sure they are testing things out …collecting data… it’s no secret one of the reasons they brought Iger back is to figure how to make Disney plus Profitable
Most streamers are not profitable yet… everyone is spending Money on content to attract subscribers but are not reaping the benefits yet, except maybe Netflix…I am hearing they are finally in the black after years in debt… and they are the top streamer. Which is why it was premature for people to claim it was the death of theaters… Studios still needs the profit from theaters

It's part of the bigger cultural impact of Black Panther/Wakanda in general. Each movie doesn't have to have its own cultural impact (although with the introduction of Talocan, you can say that the culture impact has stretched into South America).
Star Wars, Harry Potter, and LOTR had obvious cultural impacts. That doesn't mean that each movie ignited a new cultural impact (although TFA kinda did).

So Black Panther is just riding the coat tails of older and better movies. They tried to give it cultural impact with the constant "Boseman died. See this movie in his memory!" The MCU cultural impact has really been diminished since End Game. Just like the Eternals, Wakanda added nothing to the Marvel cultural impact. It added nothing technically and the toy market was a bust.

So what else is new? I'm surprised they didn't give a posthumous one to Chadwick Boseman.

Dude, what is your problem? That's just blatantly racist.

I've seen her is much better things and know she is much better actress then the script allowed her to be. I'm a big fan of her. She was much better in "What's love got to do with it", "The Rosa Parks Story" and "Akeelah and the Bee". I see it as more hype for a not so great superhero movie than for Angela.
Did you see Wakanda Forever… it was totally deserving… I am rooting for her to sweep all the awards
And now she's been nominated for the Screen Actors Guild award, one of the bellwethers of the Oscars. I would certainly suggest that the win and the further nomination would be "cultural impact," but I imagine you'll have a ready-made and whiny excuse as to why it's not.

I'm in the boat of MAYBE watching it when it hits Disney+, but how can you make your second statement in context of your first? Did you actually go and see it despite saying you weren't interested and that you wouldn't? Or are you basing the performance on the 30 seconds you saw her in the trailer? I have no idea if she is deserving for this movie. Honestly, based on her history, I'd guess "Yeah, she probably is," but, I think the critics are so far removed from caring if a movie is actually good and entertaining at this point, I won't blindly follow what they say either.

Of course he hasn't. He is one of the group of regulars who waste our time posting garbage about things they have never seen. It's funny and pathetic at the same time.

It was the second half of double feature at our drive in. We went for Puss n' Boots and stayed for the second. Puss n' Boots was far better.

BP2 gets a release date in China:
Black Panther 2, which originally released elsewhere in November 2022, will set the table on February 7, while Ant-Man 3 will hit Chinese movie theaters on February 17, day-and-date with North America. In so doing, they become the first titles featuring a Marvel character in China since Sony/Marvel’s Spider-Man: Far From Home in June 2019, and the first Disney/Marvel movies since Avengers: Endgame earlier that same year.

Seems like the CCP is trying to soften the resistance they’ve had as of recent from the Chinese public.
Bring back some of the western things they loved, like Marvel, distract.

There has been some changes in the last week or so to soften their tact on the world stage, including reassigning their hard line Foreign Minister.
So it doesn't surprise me this was done. Also possible there could have been a call from Iger that might have helped.
