How about a caped "HonkeyMan", the super hero who can't jump.

What like the Greatest American Hero or something?

Can we get back to reality on this Black Panther thing?

I'll be the first to state the obvious since the Media is a Chickenshit

Ticket prices have never been more expensive as been the case for the blockbuster record breakers the past decade. They raise the price of admission when a new blockbuster comes out so they squeeze the revenue to claim they are record breakers. Notice it doesn't go by attendance, just dollar amounts, which Refreshment sales also count.
My friend that said he was taking his two nephews and wife, just told me he ended up dropping $200 for everything. He said he spent $57 on the tickets, and about $140 on refreshments, drinks and other junk items from the refreshments.
He said that's the last movie he will ever go to.

Yah the tix were spendy: $38 for two. But I sat my ass on leather that reclines with plenty of room to either side, eating my corn and sipping my IPA (Lagunitas Little Sumpin’) while daring the movie to entertain me in 3D. Probably spent another $35 on refreshments, but that included two very nice brews and a double glass of Pinot for my lady. Overall an enjoyable experience!

Not going to watch because it's a racist movie, not a Marvel movie. I've watched most of the super hero movies that have come out, but this one isn't about super heroes. When people stop being so racist, and stop focusing on color, then I'm interested.

I haven’t seen it but friends that are more right leaning than me(and both minorities) have said it was fantastic and not political in a way that bothered them.

That said, these always going to be racists. You can’t eliminate/outlaw human nature and human thought without an extreme totalitarian govt involving reprogramming and other insidious abuses.

How old are your friends? 12?

The idea of a hidden nation within the continent of Africa was pioneered by the notoriously racist Edgar Rice Burroughs, best known for his Tarzan stories.

I've kind of heard the same thing, but all the racists hyping it as some big race movie just pisses me off. Who the fuck cares what color the actors are!? As long as the movie is good, that's all that matters.
