Movies, representation, PoC thoughts 

I am extremely nervous about the Black Panther movie. I desperately want it to be so overwhelmingly and unambiguously good and successful so that more diverse casts, and even majority PoC casts are made. But I am concerned by Hollywood's history of overlooking the depth of nuance that is essential in properly portraying black life. The concept of Wakanda deserves a detailed and thorough exploration, not a mediocre blockbuster.

@kelseyhusky I would love to go see this with you opening weekend (assuming there are any tickets left) :P

@kelseyhusky @KoBunny I would love to be part of that, but I bet opening weekend is pretty much gone already.
