Who drives the Lexus in the movie??



All these folks who haven't seen the movie trying to find some miniscle way to complain about it.

On a sidenote:
A black panther is the melanistic color variant of any big cat species. Black panthers in Asia and Africa are leopards (Panthera pardus), and those in the Americas are black jaguars (Panthera onca).^[1][2]

it was a joke about him not driving a Jaguar. Not at all a complaint or criticisms of the movie.
I used Lexus because there are some tie-in Ads...

I have not yet seen it... so I do not know if he drives one or not. I will see it. And I have been here hyping it up. I even predicted an $800Million domestic and 1.8 billion world wide box office.

she is offended. She thinks we are making fun of the movie and the character blah blah blah

some people are making this a racial thing ...

Life is too short for all that..

I still don't get why you are offended?

.

It is correct. Black Panthers don't live Africa. Leopards do, and they are not black furred. They are spotted animals. Those that have darker coats is an occurance. If you read it all even in Wiki, because Wiki says the same thing, Africa has Leopards.

.

Not sure why you need to be offended and lash out.

There is no such animal as a black panther, not even in South America, they are names given to large black cats that live in 3 continents.

The BLACK Jaguar lives in South America

stop being offended

Wow, you have serious issues dude.

You made a false statement and will not own up to it. But that's okay, it's permanent on the internet. You said there are no black panthers in Africa, but they exist in South America. You said it, nobody asked you for it, you volunteered that nugget of misinformation and got called on it.

you were offended. "ALL THESE FOLKS WHO DIDN"T EVEN SEE IT FINDING THE SMALL THINGS WRONG WITH IT"

.

you have the serious issues

Because that whole accusatory post was WRONG your post #52

Nothing we said was putting the movie down.

.

Did you buy the soundtrack? No. I did

Did you buy the Art of book? No. Picking it up tomorrow

Did you buy the comics over the last 30yrs and support the character? No. But I did

30+yrs of $$$upport.

.

There are no Black Panthers in Africa. True statement

read YOUR post #52

You didn't even get the joke about the car. Because you're offended.

You came up in the thread on the defense. Guns blazing

No one was talking to you or about you and you said to OnlyNDaUSA and I

yet it was you in the P&R thread that said:

There is a huge gamble going on here. I'm looking more for the response of the African community on this one.

.

and also A major blockbuster with an all black cast, going international, is a gamble,...

You got all offended. It was YOU who did not understand the joke, it was you that took it too far.

1. I SAW THE MOVIE, I BOUGHT THE SOUNDTRACK(WHICH IS WHAT THIS THREAD IS PARTIALLY ABOUT) I WILL BE BUYING THE ART OF BLACK PANTHER BOOK TOMORROW, I HAVE SUPPORTED THE BLACK PANTHER SUPER HERO COMIC OVER MY LIFE TIME. WHAT ABOUT YOU? Right

2. NO ONE WAS COMPLAINING ABOUT THE MOVIE. NOT ONE DAM PERSON COMPLAINED ABOUT THE MOVIE IN THIS THREAD

.

so get your attitude in check

It's not that serious. It should have never gotten here.

Um, Happy Feet? Bamboozled? Black Panther is a movie that celebrates blackness, and the subject matter was right up Prince's alley given what he was doing in the past few years for the Black community. Add to that, he was inspired by what Kendrick Lamaar was doing who was heavily involved in the soundtrack. I'm not saying that he definitely would have contributed, but had he been alive, I can see BP as a movie he would have been interested in being involved in.

see post #29, 30, 32, 37

I'm just saying, a lot of previous movie focused on Africa as well. And Capt America Civil War was where the Black Panther made his first appearance, in Africa.

But also I tend to listen to Prince music alone and seperate from most other music. So it is hard for me imagining Prince doing music for soundtracks other than a Prince movie.

.

Actually Black Panther 'celebrates' African-ness.

I've done some threads on Prince's interest in Egyptology

.

I also think he respect for Lamaar music, would have stopped him from 'following' in the direction.

.

How 'adult' was the soundtrack? How many songs would have to put some money in Princes' cuss jar?

Prince did seem to like Sci-Fi movies.

He was also inspired by Black Swan the movie, which is when he got Misty Copeland to do some ballet in his shows.

Actually, being black, I think BP celebrates blackness. And I would argue that 95% of black people that saw the movie say the same thing. And not sure what relevance your threads regarding Prince and "Egyptology" have here. It's funny that one post about what I saw in the movie and how I think Prince would have made a great contribution to it causes this type of discussion.

As I asserted earlier and as someone else agreed, "Song of the Heart" was a more recent submission to a film project. Also, while "Radical Man 2045" was an older song, I did state that that Prince could have used an older song for this new project as he had done before. And, to be clear, I, myself, am not wishing; I'm just responding to all the folks who are asserting that it would not be probable that Prince would have contributed a song to Black Panther had he been asked. If we are asking if it is probable that he would have, then my position is that, based on what he had done in the past with his art and the statements that he made in support of there needing to be more of a movement and awareness of black folks celebrating their heritage and addressing specific socio-political ills, then, yes, it is not a stretch to say that Prince would have probably submitted a song to Black Panther if asked. I don't understand why that's so difficult to fathom.

This is not directed at you, as much the ops question. I'm just thinking 'why this movie' There is no record of Prince being asked to submitt a song for any DC or Marvel films in the last 10yrs of the comic franchise hitting the big screen.

.

I mean if I could wish Prince back to life, it wouldn't be to submit a song for a film.
I personally would wish for him to be able to finish his memoir, really enjoy the Piano tour interaction. And release it on CD for us. And live out some of the things Morris Day and BrownMark talked about that he talked about. As well as, and more importantly, to recover and find good health again.

*

Whether or not it's been ten years or thirty years, he was once asked to submit a song to a film about a comic book character, and he did. As such, it's not a stretch to think that he might have for Black Panther, especially given what he was doing and saying in the final years of his life.

*

Also, I think you are being overly dismissive of somebody else's wishes or desires simply because that person is/was wishing for something that doesn't interest you. For example, I've been a member of this site for years, and, for years, I saw/read thread after thread of folks wishing for a Revolution reunion. That was the last thing that I wanted to see. In fact, I thought that it was idiotic for folks to "wish" such a thing when Prince clearly wasn't interested enough in it to make it happen. Yes, we all read the quote in 1987 or so when Prince stated that the idea was to break up, do some separate things, and then reform stronger than ever, but at what point do fans accept that Prince was never really interested in reforming the Revolution? Based on your number, after ten years of the band not being together, is that when fans should have accepted that the Revolution was never going to reunite? Thus, all those threads "wishing" for a Revolution reunion made no sense to me. But, did I ever once post on those threads what an idiotic idea it was? No. I just read the first few posts, decided the threads were not for me, and moved to something that was. And, even now, most of the things for which folks wish on this site as it relates to music releases and what they want the Estate to do seem, again, idiotic to me or are simply disinteresting to me, but, hey, that's their wish. So, when you ask, "why this project?," my question is have you asked that about other "wish lists"? Clearly, you had and have a wish list as most people do. But, your last statement makes it seem as if your wish list for what you wanted Prince to do is somehow more realistic and honorable than others. I'm not saying that you are doing that purposefully, but to say "rather than Prince doing what you wanted him to do, here is what I wanted him to do" is to minimize somebody else's tastes and likes simply because they aren't your tastes and likes.

They should have started BP with Sterling K Brown's character marching in the streets of Oakland to "We March."

Except that "we march" isn't a very good song.

I think the biggest determining factor in whether he would have worked on the soundtrack would have been his great working and creative relationship with Kendrick Lamar. They worked and performed together multiple times and both share a similar black empowerment message. Prince addressed Africa as being the birthplace of civilization before so it's not a stretch to think he would be into the whole Wakanda concept.

He liked someone so he was destined to work with them. I get it. Lamar got up on his stage once and squarked awkwardly for 10 mins--hardly a creative partnership destined for greatness.

If I'm being dismissive, which I'm not, then so is everyone else who doesn't see it.
I'm not being dismissive. I'm really trying to picture it. As I replied to them I don't even play Prince music in conjunction with non-Prince related artist proteges etc. Because for me it is like tell a story. Purple Rain UTCM Graffiti Bridge and Batman. Outside of that it's hard for me to see it.

But it is what it is.
.
I don't want to get further into trying to break down my intents. It really is as simple as I have put it.

Being multiEthnic having roots in Ghana[Europe and 'Native'-America, from my study of the concept that they were going for and even the director and co-writer Ryan Coogler said it was not a question of blackness but what did it mean to be African. Not to mention most of the actors are directly African, not black-American.

.

For Ryan Coogler, the essence of "Black Panther" came down to one question: What does it mean to be African?

"This is the most personal film I've ever made, which is the strangest statement to say because I only make films that are personal," Coogler said. "This film for me started with this question of, 'What does it mean to be African?' It's a question that I've always had since I learned I was black, since my parents sat me down and told me what that was. I didn't totally understand what that meant. As kid you're like, well wait, why? Like, so wait we're from Africa? What's that?

"I'm 31-years-old and I realized I never really took time to grapple with what it means to be African. This film gave me the chance to do that," he said.

Well Egypt is AFRICA. The original Egyptians who created Egypt where by all intents and purposes African ethnic stock. The people who buildt Egypt came up from W Central and Eastern Africa. They were not the Arabs that exist there today. The Egyptian artwork tells the truth.

.

I brought it up because you said 'it celebrates blackness and the subject matter is right up Prince's alley' Egytp really is the only area of Africa he has focused on that I've researched so far. Egyptology permeates Prince's style and subject matter from 1993 onward. Mayte being into (Arabic) dance/bellydancing, the ONE video 1998 the Rainbow Children mixed ideology. Arabic society/culture is a big interest of his too.

the funniest thing about your posts, besides that you come off as a know-it-all, is that you don't even realize douchey they are. The bolded part, for instance. It is, in fact, saying exactly what I said. I don't expect you to understand, but you obviously read that statement and took it at face value without considering what that might mean for say, African-Americans. But, you put it up here as if you know what it means to someone who is, well, black. The remainder of your post is simply laughable.
