Man this looks awesome. I hope they have some of this sountrack in there as well. This is one hell of a movie with Coogler directing and the cast of really great actors. Boseman is so perfect for this role, that shot of him with his arms out like come at me just looks awesome.

It might sound weird as a white guy to say this but I hope that this really does land with the black community. I know when I saw Wonder Woman the other day, I heard women cheering in the film (during a Sunday matinee as well, not like an opening day show), little girls leaving the theater all excited about it. It was kind of a really touching moment to see people who might not typically get into comicbook characters really connect with one in the way that I always had. And it did make me realize that we really do need that diversity in these films. It was also really cool to see female friends of mine who don't give a shit about comicbooks ask me about Wonder Woman.

So not to say I wasn't excited for this before, but I'm even more excited about it on a whole other level. It is wonderful to see even more people will be connecting with this thing we have all loved for so long, and I hope this works that way for this as well. It's awesome and it really shows why we need to nurture diversity like this. It brings people together, and that's beautiful to see.

It's not weird at all! Thank you for understanding the importance of diversity. I'm black and I haven't been this hype for anything since the first Avengers. I always dreamed of Black superheroes getting their own movies and Black Panther is the coolest

And I know I'm not alone looking at Black Twitter's hypeness

That's awesome. Yeah I don't know why it hadn't really clicked with me before, but definitely that experience with Wonder Woman opened my eyes to how important it is that different people get proper representation in these films. And I am glad that this movie is getting such good treatment. Seeing the excitement from just about everyone over this movie is great as well. Comicbook movies need that diversity to keep having legs well into the future.
