Infinity War simply did not have as high of reviews as Black Panther.
Infinity War had a 68 on Metacritic while BP got an 88.
And obviously it does have something to do with race, because Black Panther literally talks about race as one of its main themes. You can’t say “it’s only nominated because it had black people” when the script and other aspects were literally built over the idea of race.
Black Panther came close to The Dark Knight’s 8 nominations, but ultimately got 7.
It did get one nomination TDK did not though—Best Picture. Just want to take this moment to laugh at all the people who were talking shit about me because I thought BP would be nominated for Best Picture, but I was correct. Feels good.
It has higher reviews than Incredibles 2 and it is way more unique, so I don’t see why it shouldn’t win. Honestly should be between Isle of Dogs and Into the Spider-Verse
100% with you on that. Marvel movies tend to have forgettable scores but the music in Black Panther is amazing. It’s also incredibly unique, something never heard in a blockbuster before. It has so many African vibes with the rap in Killmongers theme to the traditional percussion of the Wakanda theme.
Black Panther became the first superhero film in history to be nominated for Best Picture - Drama at the Golden Globes. The only other superhero film to become nominated was Deadpool in the other Best Picture category "Best Picture - Musical or Comedy".
It also got two other nominations, Best Original Score by Ludwig Göransson (First Superhero film nominated since Superman (1978)), and Best Original Song - "All the Stars".
This is huge news because the Academy Awards usually follows suit with their nominations. Not everything is 100%, but generally, you can predict the nominations the Academy will have with the Golden Globes.
I remember making this forum talking about Black Panther's Oscar chances, and everyone shit on me. Well, it is happening y'all. The Golden Globes does not even have categories for things like costume design, set design, hairstyling and makeup, sound design, sound mixing and cinematography, which Black Panther has high chances in. So we are looking at a potential 6-9 nominations for Black Panther at the Oscars.
Don't be upset that it is Black Panther this is happening to. Be happy the superhero genre is being recognized. I mean The Dark Knight is the film that single-handedly expanded the Best Picture nominees from 5 to 10 at the Oscars so more blockbusters like Black Panther could be recognized. It is now happening.
Anyway, if you're disappointed because Black Panther is overrated and shit like that at least be happy cuz the Avengers 4 trailer is tomorrow and the Far From Home trailer is Saturday. And Aquaman in 2 weeks. Great times for CBM fans.
Why did they give Brie Larson such cringe lines. I think people need to lay off Larson, I don’t think any actress could deliver these lines any better.
Luckily this is only a trailer, so I’m not expecting any of the cringe to be in the final cut, because trailer lines are almost never the same in the final version.
Anyway, not the most excited I have been for an MCU film but still looking forward to it regardless. Interested on how this will expand the MCU, and it has so many questions that need to be answered .
