AnswerLady
So what? Is the movie any good? When can we look past color?
LosPer
Never. Because it's "breakthrough" and "about time"...
JColdIron
SNORT!
ReallyWittyName
I read that as Morgan Freeman and was really confused for a minute.
LincLoud
Started reading; thought it was race baiting, by the end, it was a pun. Fantastic work.
Thome216
I still like South Park's Token Black.
iDigDinos
LOL too cute. Man, I can't wait to see this movie!
theguywiththevoice
Okay, you can do it this once. Just don't make a hobbit of it.
yupthatsmondays
dangerousDoc
I hope this film is good. As I don't think that we can fully trust most reviews. It is a marvel though and they've been consistent at worst
itsybitsyspider
It'll be decent at least. Better than DC
dangerousDoc
yeah the absolute best of DC has been about Marvel's worst. Still wish we could get a spectrum of reviews

And Stan Lee. He is also in it.
tiarali
Yeah, but his is a cameo. I'm sure there will be white extras too.
Timexican
There are more than 2 white actors but that doesn't fit the joke.
Jpress88
Don’t forget the most important person of the film. The producer...... white. Lol
Inzstinct
smart mans getting paid haha
iamthisguy247
Currently 98% fresh on RT. Starting to get excited.
TheBanned55
And there's a massive amount of pressure for this movie to get nothing but good reviews.
BattloidKouji
How does it have a rating yet? it's not out till next week.
iamthisguy247
Critics probably got an early screening. 92 critics have reviewed it already. https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/black_panther_2018
BattloidKouji
gotcha.
JapAnus
The most unbelievable part of that movie wasn't even the cgi, it was the fact that there's a rich country in Africa lol
SaucyFineBolognaFactory
Nigeria?
votfgz
unironically Botswana

South Africa was almost a developed, advanced, nuclear powered first world country. And then, well....you know
twatmobile69
Most of them are rich... in ressources.. just highly corrupt and ridden with political instability
opiuo
It’s the most technologically advanced country based on real marvel canon
Lezio
WHO THE FUCK CARES?
Durango
Did you even read the picture to the end to get the joke, or do you just yell in caps lock like an old man yelling at pigeons?
Lezio
I did, I understood, I was being sarcastic. Here, some bread to feed the pigeons.

MrRauchPotato
I’m sorry but can someone explain this for me
LosPer
Those two white actors are "token whites" in a mostly (and obnoxiously celebrated) black film and the "Tolkien" is a pun on "token"
PhilTheGoron
Thanks. Totally went over my head.
fluhatinrapper
*Tolkien being the author of "The Hobbit" book. Hence the joke.
bpetersen
Tokenism ... It's why the black kid in South Park is named Token
Retr0Futurist
It's....All explained clearly right there in the joke? Like, if anything, it's over explained
ProgLord99
Not really, I didn't understand the joke because I did not know what 'Token White' meant.
Retr0Futurist
At that point you're explaining core concepts that are going to make the joke actively unfunny. It's ok to not get something
Godawesome
But its also ok to want to understand and learn new things, even at the cost of a joke one can't understand anyway
LosPer
Not everybody here is from the US, with the same cultural references to use - like South Park
Retr0Futurist
According to Wikipedia the term's been in use since the 1950s
ProgLord99
Yeah, in America most likely. I'm Australian and I've never heard the term before now.
Retr0Futurist
Ok.

Tolkien white guys.

They were originally going to fill Martin Freeman’s role with 2 Asian actors, but then they realized that 2 Wongs don’t make a white...

But how does Stan lee fit into all of this?
Lizaderp
He's black from the waist down
georgedragonslayer
Everyone knows Stanlee Gollum is a black man.
TheCrankyCow
he is not an actor.
dennydorko
Tolkien Jew?
MadMontyMN
He's not an actor
rbudrick
I've seen him in like 30 movies though.
MadMontyMN
I saw Keanu Reeves on a train; he must be the conductor
Teksura
I thought he had to be a member of the union just to appear in the films.

rbudrick
He's also created a rich, vast, incredibly complex literally corpus and universe of characters.
TheInfamousPenguin
Maybe he will be playing the part of an old explorer who finally finds "El dorado/Wakanda"?
basktard
As a victim.
Nerubin
Stan Lee is a constant in space & time. Whenever things of significance happen in the Marvel Cinematic Universe he will be there.
FoxyEllie
he's not a white guy, he's a legend.
ermahgerdawoman
Amen
CreepyFreak
He's technically not an actor
pareidoliaperson
Morgan Freeman will instead make an appearance.
Mikeiller
and everyone will call him Stan Lee.
DoomSkuller
Stan Lee is a Watcher. They don't have races.
Miniman0007
He's actually a watcher informant
