The Advocate, a popular LGBT magazine, also criticized the lack of LGBT representation in Black Panther, publishing a video titled, “What About LGBT Representation in Black Panther?” in which Cole’s “vague” reply when asked about the exclusion of LGBT characters was also criticized. Is Black Panther co-opting African struggles against oppression? Yes, Black Panther is a moment. “Many were hopeful for LGBTQ representation in Marvel’s Black Panther,” the outlet said. Even the feminist Ms magazine listed Black Panther as one of its top 15 feminist films of 2018. Isn’t that the whitewashed version of revolutionary? There are plenty of legitimate criticisms that can be made of the film, and it's annoying when Marvel Studios defenders use Black Panther as evidence the MCU as a whole is more "progressive" than the directors who criticize it (ignoring, for instance, how Scorsese's World Cinema Project has done more to preserve the history of African cinema than Disney ever did). The Black Panther is Black. Historical significance aside, what superhero fans want to know is how “Black Panther” compares with other Marvel movies. 5. Black Panther works best as a dynastic drama, and as a musing on global politics from a perspective we don’t often get. The movie has a beating heart, and a big one; it’s not just sincere, but that rarest of birds in the jungle of mainstream entertainment, a heartfelt epic. Movie critics have praised the film, but cultural critics argue Marvel Studios, … Like all the best comics movies, this one’s got a villain (Michael B. Jordan) so compelling he nearly steals the show from the hero (Chadwick Boseman). Chadwick Boseman commands every moment of this film, radiating probity and purpose, and it’s only later on that you realize that, with another actor, this wouldn’t have been a sure thing. And, yes, of course, Black Panther is still a Marvel movie, with all that entails. The Black Power movement received criticism from the media and civil rights activists and organizations, such as the New York Times, Bayard Rustin and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP). There are hiccups in its ambition, but it’s hard not to get swept up in all the technologies, characters, and politics crammed into the movie’s compelling dramatic conflict, which casts the charismatic Michael B. Jordan—the star of Creed and Coogler’s debut, Fruitvale Station—as the most complex villain in the post-Dark Knight cycle of superhero blockbusters. Oh, it’s just me? While the themes are deep, Black Panther is at the same time a visual joy to behold, with confident quirkiness (those aforementioned war rhinos), insane action sequences and special effects, and the glorious reveal of Wakanda, whose culture is steeped in African influences but which also offers a jaw-dropping look at what a city of the future could be. And yet, all this intricacy is resolved in rather simplistic fashion in the end. And sure, the futuristic African country of Wakanda may be fictional, but it’s brimming with cultural resonance. Whatever its cultural significance, it’s just passable entertainment, a noble attempt at waxing mythical that never, for one second, delivers that out-of-body giddiness that makes popcorn pictures of its ilk burst to life. Is there a heart-shaped flower store at the Wakanda Galleria? Black Panther is a good film because it embraces the elephant in the room, a dark superhero. My points of contention, however, do not arise form Ryan Coogler’s decisions to stray from the comic book storyline. Killmonger as a character was kinda right. I bet she gets good benefits too. They were protecting their country from anyone who wasn’t from Wakanda. Black panther is a great film which really nails the comic book Wakanda the marvel villain curse has not touched this film as Michael b Jordan is amazing however I felt there was overuse of the Cgi but overall a great movie.

But just so we’re clear, we all agree that the potion that stripped away Black Panther’s powers was Wylers, right?
