BLACK PANTHER (2018) REVIEW – THE BEST MARVEL MOVIE YET

Andrea Thompson . February 16, 2018
So many movies come and go, most of them (forget). But some are destined to be talked about before they
even hire a crew, let alone hit theaters. Take Black Panther, for instance. This was a movie which was always
going to be noteworthy. It’s not just one of the few movies that focuses on a black superhero, it has a cast
and crew consisting almost (entire) of black people. And that superhero, T’Challa (Chadwick Boseman), is
king of the fictional African nation of Wakanda, which, far from needing any kind of assistance, is one of the
most (technological) advanced countries in the world. […]

[…] Black Panther also makes a (commit) to explore what it means to not only be black in America, but to
be African in today’s world. […] The result is one of the richest, most vibrant worldbuilding I’ve ever seen on
the big screen, with a story that embraces African customs and life in a way that makes no apologies, or any
need whatsoever to justify or prove anything to white people. […]

No texto, o nome Marvel é mencionado para fazer referência ao estúdio que produziu o filme de super-herói Pantera Negra. O uso do referido termo sem a presença de imagens
comerciais identificadas faz parte de um contexto pedagógico mais amplo, sem qualquer tipo de incentivo ao seu uso ou intuito de divulgação dessa marca (cf. Parecer CNE/
CEB no 15/2000). No texto, dentre os vários filmes sobre super-heróis da empresa Marvel Studios, Pantera Negra é destacado como o melhor, sendo elogiado por ter um
super-herói negro, um elenco majoritariamente negro e abordar questões sobre ser negro e ser africano no mundo atual. Esses temas,
trazidos pelo texto, ajudam a ampliar a discussão sobre racismo e representatividade negra no cinema e na sociedade em geral. Unit 11 227
