Black Panther made a comical amount of money. The "Woke" strategy clearly worked.

1. Because Disney/Marvel wants more women going to see MCU content. 2. Because it mostly takes place in Africa… And they want more black people going to see MCU content.

I thought this guy was a businessman. He should understand this stuff.

Why would anyone want an 81 year old racist on their board Question mark

All this ado about "woke" this and "woke" that by the snowflakes... Pathetic.

If Ridley Scott released Alien today snowflakes would have a complete meltdown—imagine that, a black man and two women (neither of whom look like teen anime waifus, the horror!) in a cast! And the roles were written as gender neutral, for crying out loud!

I see nothing wrong with all female or all PoC casts. Prey for instance (the Predator universe) has an excellent female lead and a great Native cast.

Also this guy is 81, why the hell is he trying to get on the Board of Disney? At that age, working would be the last thing I'd want to do.

I am sure this guy also calls out movies with all-white casts, right?

What’s the problem with a movie based on a fictional country in Africa with native peoples from the continent being all black?

LOL imagine being so narcissistic that you think that what you want matters to the public.

This turd is going for the "I'm not sexist, but" and "I'm not racist, but" combo record 🤦

Somebody should ask this jackass why he needs a movie of all white men.

Answer: he's racist. (bonus question: why does he need them in tights?)

Why do Marvel fans need a board influenced by a bigoted idiot?

Why do I need another marvel movie?

You don't need them, what you need is to make a good movie.. if that has an all black or all female cast is irrelevant.

It's so amazing that people put so much effort into bitching about something that they (checks notes) literally don't have to do anything about.

Do you know what I don't complain about? Childrens movies. Super hero movies. Romance movies. Foreign films.

I just... Don't watch them...

Hmm. What an odd concept. Don't watch what I don't want to see?? Preposterous! Every film maker must make what I personally want to see!

You do not have to have anything. No one is forcing you to go to those movies and no one is forcing you to join Disney's board.

You may not like that there are Marvel movies lead by women or black people but too fucking bad. Especially the latter. Black Panther is a major cash cow.

Well you don't need to, but then someone else gets to make an iconic movie, rakes in some cash and maybe even some Oscars and Globes.

I watched "The man who knew too much" from the 50s yesterday. Doris Day might be the female role he likes. Obedient. Her husband tells her what to do, she is on a nervous breakdown constantly. Good times?

I prefer modern women anytime!!

I didn’t have a need for “The Sound of Freedom” but I didn’t see you bitching about it.

Why not though?

Black Panther is a significant contribution to black cinema (in its cultural significance, box office numbers, etc), but it is a single contribution to a long legacy of black cinema that didn’t start with Disney, and isn’t defined by a series of entertaining-but-insubstantial movies, or the current right wing myopia of the moment.

Ah, the next Ike Perlmutter. At least he wants "Marvels that are both", so seems to champion more transgender heroes. (I know transgender persons are not, or not always, both).
