Did 'Black Panther' live up to the hype? | The Tylt
Early reviews for the highly anticipated "Black Panther" are out, and critics are calling the superhero blockbuster a "cultural phenomenon." But there are always haters who don't buy into the hype and skeptics who are suffering from superhero fatigue. Some believe the film's hype is just too much, like calm down. Supporters argue that black moviegoers have waited a long time for culturally significant black characters to be centered in major motion pictures. What do you think? ✊🏾

People that are claiming the Black Panther hype is making them not even want to see it are almost worse than the people acting like it's the most important black film of all time. Almost.

Below is the synopsis of "Black Panther," per IMDB.
T'Challa, after the death of his father, the King of Wakanda, returns home to the isolated, technologically advanced African nation to succeed to the throne and take his rightful place as king.
Mashable's collection of celebrity reactions argue moviegoers can definitely give in to the hype! The film is groundbreaking and a culturally significant phenomenon everyone can enjoy.
According to the reactions, Gizmodo argues that Marvel may have a new king:
With a few small exceptions, the reactions basically range from “This is amazing” to “This is the best Marvel movie ever.” Yes, some fans and critics are already ready to crown the film the best Marvel movie yet. Is it? Well, you’ll all be able to make your own decision on February 16. But for now, here are just a small sampling of the reactions.

Black moviegoers have waited so long for a groundbreaking epic that culturally centered and captured a black superhero. While some critics have pointed out that "Black Panther" isn't the first black superhero film, there hasn't been a superhero film centering a classic black superhero made on the same level as classic white superhero counterparts.
All moviegoers interested have a right to be as hype as they want—especially black geeks who've been advocating for better mainstream representation.
People saying that Black Panther is just a movie. I mean yea. But 60 years ago they would’ve did this shit in blackface so yes I’m hype af

But some of the hype has skeptics worried and losing interest. Is there such a thing as too much hype? We guess so.
Trying not to let the, uh, "hype" around Black Panther put a damper on my excitement for it, but.. it's hard.

People are ruining it. Stop.
And again—some moviegoers are acting like leading black superheroes in cinema haven't existed before "Black Panther." That's untrue, and we can't let the hype make us forget about the films that paved the way.
I'm hype as hell for Black Panther but "the first black superhero movie"?

Y'all gotta put some respect on Wesley Snipe and Blade.
"BLACK PANTHER IS THE FIRST BLACK SUPER HERO WITH HIS OWN MOVIE OF COURSE WE ARE HYPE" that's wrong. You people are fucking idiots. Hancock, Steel, Meteor Man, Blade 1-3..... or they dnt count?
