BLACK PANTHER Passes STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS To Become Most Tweeted About Movie Ever

@FromACertainPOV - I visited a alternative universe once where the nazis had control of twitter. So progandish and scary, yet to stylish.

@user047 - @user047 - Is it though? I feel as though it would mean more if we had some sort of break down on the numbers and how they actually recorded it.

Which demographics (not just geographically)? In what context? Does it included sites like this that tweet links to articles about rumours and box office statistics or is it just normal user engagements. Was it in anticipation of or in response to the film?

Otherwise it doesn't really mean or tell us anything. Just that there's a lot of noise about it in some capacity on social media and no real specifics.

Don't get me wrong, I loved the film and I clearly don't know what the deal is with you, @411IDSigo and Black Panther but to be fair to them, it's a weird non-accolade to have.

@FromACertainPOV - The deal I have with Black Panther was the attacks on people who dared to criticize the movie. I proved my point very early on.

I have been a Marvel stalwart from the beginning. I don't love everything they do, and have found flaws in many of their movies, but I have never been so vehemently attacked as when I dared criticize Black Panther. Not only that but I have been called racist simply because I dared to criticize a movie that has a predominantly Black cast.

It all started when I dared to speak facts:

- Black Panther is not the first Black comic book hero to be portrated on film. Blade did it decades ago.

- Black Panther is not the first movie with a predominantly Black cast. There have been dozens of them.

- Black Panther is not the first movie to show a wealthy, royal, African, Black society. Coming To America did it decades ago.

And because I dared to take Black Panther to task I was automatically called racist....while I said nothing racist.

That's the cop out today. Disagree with anything and you are racist or misogynist. The reason people use these buzz words is because their own arguments are weak and without substance. So they have to resort to name calling.

I was 100% hyped for Black Panther when I saw him debut in Civil War and when I heard they were giving him his own movie. I was incredibly excited....but then too many painted this movie as the second coming of Christ and they got more upset....and of course called me racist...when I said, it's just a comic book movie.

I had the same problem with Wonder Woman and all of the fuss, and I was called misogynist by some. But the ones who vehemently defend Black Panther never attacked me when I dared criticize Wonder Woman for basically the same reasons. ...Gee...I wonder why?

@GoldGuy - It's just tweeting. When you don't have content or context a random tweet means nothing. It could simply be a retweet or someone saying "#BlackPanther sucks"

It's not like unique views on YouTube. That is truly impressive.

Even box office is not that impressive when you count people who pay to see the movie more than once, or celebrities who buy 100 tickets for inner city kids to get them to go see the movie.

@GoldGuy - I understand that people are paying to see a movie more than once, but I'm talking from the perspective of unique views.

If a person likes a movie they are the ones move likely to pay to see it again. If you rated movies based on unique views that would be a far more accurate gauge. That's all I'm saying.

@Kyos - There you go. Just like the others, always looking for special treatment for Black Panther.

What's wrong with you people seriously? It's just a comic book movie.

@411IDSigo - I'm not "looking for special treatment for Black Panther", I'm just wondering why you voice your desire for movies to be judged by a non-existent and non-achievable metric in response to the overwhelming success of this specific movie.

@user047 - Iron Man was the first to accomplish these feats and such a fuss wasn't made over that movie, why? Because it is just a comic book movie.

Even Iron Man 3 wasn't lauded over when it broke records.
But for some reason some people think Black Panther needs to have such a fuss made over it. ....as if it NEEDS the special attention for some reason.

It's just a comic book movie. That's all.

@user047 - Those movies weren't treated as the greatest movies ever in most cases. Only Wonder Woman was treated that way.

But I too criticized The Dark Knight as just a crime drama and The Force Awakens as too rushed and not properly developed.
I didn't criticize The Avengers because I thought it was incredibly well done and did the super hero team up the best it has ever been done.

But of course I, and others only get attacked for daring to critcize Black Panther...and Wonder Woman.

I wonder why that is. hmmmmm

@user047 - The real question is why do you care?

You are coming out of ban-ville into the tail end of this conversation. You are speaking outside of your depth.
