Black Panther (2018)

This movie didn’t really strike a chord with me when it first came out. This movie wasn’t made for me besides being a Marvel movie. It was made for all the black boys and girls around the world who deserved representation on the superhero stage. This movie shifted the scales to show not just representation with race but led to female and LGBTQ representation in future movies. I see it as a Lion King copy. To so many people around the world, it is so much more and I think that's a very good thing. I don’t need representation. I have dozens of heroes to idolize, and it was time there were more than white men as heroes. Despite all that, the story is fine and the characters are very iconic. I just think it could have been done better.
