^I agreeee with that.

2019-05-08 21:32:14 UTC  

Yeah I also found the sequel disappointing

2019-05-08 21:32:28 UTC  

what a waste of kurt Russell

2019-05-08 21:33:06 UTC  

Yeah, the bad guy is a radical leftist and Black Panther is African Trump (he does sort of "learn" to be less nationalistic though)

2019-05-08 21:33:48 UTC  

I thought the good guy was Trump and the bad guy was Black hitler

2019-05-08 21:34:27 UTC  

Haven't seen it though, but wasn't the bad guy expansionist and the good guy isolationist (until the end)

2019-05-08 21:34:41 UTC  

but even then I think they didn't become open borders

2019-05-08 21:35:42 UTC  

They revealed themselves to the world, and I think the plan was to export services, maybe resources. Not much else

2019-05-08 21:35:44 UTC  

Yeah, the bad guy is a pan african ethnonationalist and the good guy is an isolationist (until the end)

2019-05-08 21:36:05 UTC  

They give the US foreign aid

2019-05-08 21:36:43 UTC  

Cause they have to go to the US from Africa to find oppressed black people

2019-05-08 21:43:09 UTC  

Maybe they just consider the people living in abject poverty in Africa to be their natural state?

2019-05-08 21:45:07 UTC  

So at the end of the movie they're still ethno-nationalists, they're just letting people know they exist, and letting people buy their services (mercantilism too).

2019-05-08 21:46:08 UTC  

oh and they still have an absolute monarchy

2019-05-08 21:47:12 UTC  

I mean Wakanda is made of of several tribes, so you could argue they are Civic Nationalists, although the "civic" is never articulated and they don't like outsiders, especially the white guy

2019-05-08 21:48:10 UTC  

I like how there's a snowy north Wakanda with a black Rob Stark lol

2019-05-08 21:48:20 UTC  

The multiple tribe thing kind of makes no sense since the grievance about colonization is that it made countries made up of completely different groups

2019-05-08 21:48:35 UTC  

oh so they let Asians and Hispanics into wakanda no problem?

2019-05-08 21:49:02 UTC  

There was only one token minority in the movie

2019-05-08 21:49:18 UTC  

I must have missed that^

2019-05-08 21:49:32 UTC  

I thought it was 100% black

2019-05-08 21:50:01 UTC  

No there's the one white guy that's knocked out most of the movie

2019-05-08 21:50:03 UTC  

Wakanda I mean, not the movie itself

2019-05-08 21:50:15 UTC  

The citizens are

2019-05-08 21:50:25 UTC  

He's a dirty Xeno

2019-05-08 21:50:26 UTC  

Doh

2019-05-08 21:50:30 UTC  

My bad

2019-05-08 22:00:01 UTC  

So Wakanda is definitely part of the UN

2019-05-08 22:00:08 UTC  

Sad!

2019-05-08 22:02:17 UTC  

And their embassy in the US is being put in the one building in the hood lol

2019-05-08 22:02:53 UTC  

#GoSeeAlita (no, really, there's an anti-gun control line).

2019-05-08 22:08:59 UTC  

But I read the manga already my dude

2019-05-08 22:30:09 UTC  

He looks like a preppy frat boy about to get shwasted during spring break

2019-05-08 22:31:11 UTC  

Now there’s a word I haven’t heard in a few years

2019-05-09 00:00:26 UTC  

@Beemann just cause you read Gunnm is no excuse not to see Alita.

2019-05-09 00:00:44 UTC  

Sure it is. Adaptations are inferior products

2019-05-09 00:01:14 UTC  

If I want more Alita there's still 2 more series to read

2019-05-09 00:01:37 UTC  

They aren't always inferior. Alita was really good. If anything watch it for the cgi
