2:02 If youre watching a movie that deals with a certain issue ( i.e. the abuse of people of color) & You're looking to have a conversation about said movie Then shying away from having a discussion about said issue is a problem and it honestly bothers me Not only does it keep the analysis of the movie at surface level, but I feel it does the movie makers and their social commentaries a disservice This kind of thing is part of what's holding me back from subscribing Youve all done some amazing work and I appreciate the entertainment But I and many others don't always need a distraction I value a persons moral code first And for someone to have my respect and support their moral code has to apply for them 100% of the time Not just when its convenient I want to hear your actual opinion Not what gains you clicks That being said I hope Im not disappointed by this video (edit: I didnt dislike the video.

Killmonger’s death hits me hard every time. That last line is amazing. My great great grandfather (whom i never met) was lynched in his military uniform upon returning from fighting for this country in WWII. While i never met him, that moment will forever bring up thoughts of his legacy and stories my great great grandmother (passed at 105) would tell me as a child. No superhero movie will ever resonate with me the way this one did. Thank you so much for your reaction and the reaction series as a whole. EDIT: Returning after the devastating loss of Chadwick Boseman. RIP to an Icon. Thank you for giving the next generation something to aspire towards.

[@My-Name-Isnt-Important]

Great great grandfather? I think you've added too many great's here. My grandfather on my father's side of the family was old enough for WW2, but a great great grandfather would have been too old to have been able to serve in WW2. A great grandfather would have served in WW1, and a great great grandfather would have served in the Spanish American War.

[@HypocritesExposd]

R H - you’re trying to correct someone’s own family lineage based on your own? 1. There’s no point, unless you’re trying to imply that the story is fake. 2. Not everyone has kids at the same age as your family. Examples: This family always has kids when they’re 20. The Great Great Grandfather, born in 1920, is 100 years old in 2020. The Great Grandfather is 80. The Grandfather is 60. The Father is 40. The man is 20. 3. Men and women can have children at even younger ages than 20, I just used that as a simple number for your simple brain to comprehend.

You're not the only one. This suit is a big step down from the one in Civil War.

[@KonohaRamenNoodles]

I know right? The Civil War suit looks more bulky and imposing as opposed to the current suit which is more slimline.

[@matthewchampion8214]

Also I much prefer the physical helmet over the bleeding CG one. The suit carries less weight without the manual placing of the crown so to speak. Now the act of removing the helmet has no purpose other than seeing the actor's face. I know why they did this because the suit was too rigid and uncomfortable for stunts but it's still a shame.

[@galactic85]

That's what stan lee CLAIMED but it's more of a marketing tagline than actual fact. If you read up on Malcolm X he is nothing like magneto. In the earliest X-Men issues magneto is literally just the head of the brotherhood of evil mutants and he intends to use his powers to conquer earth. Malcolm X never wanted to do anything like that. And considering all the times magneto has tried to commit genocide against humanity im the marvel universe it's very disrespectful to compare him to Malcolm x in any capacity. Malcolm x did not want to commit genocide against white people. I bought into Stan Lee's claim for a long time until started reading about the civil rights movement and realized it was total crap.

[@jada6848]

This movie, for me, is very personal. I went to see it with my family (we're Black and Ashkenazi Jewish) on my 21st birthday. To put it in perspective, my family NEVER watches superhero films with me. Ever! They all came out of the theater really impressed and happy. We were all in agreement that a movie with a mainly Black/African cast that didn't focus on Black pain and suffering that didn't have us as slaves, servants, gangsters, etc was really refreshing and so wonderful to watch. For the first time, we saw characters that looked like us be in a state of genuine power and in charge of their own destiny without any oppressive influence and it was GLORIOUS. That being said, I do work in the industry, so the vfx took me out of the experience a few times. BUT, my rating is still an 8/10 Great video, Holden. I always look forward to your discussions with Matt, Jenna, Pastor, and company. Can't wait to see how the rest of the Infinity Saga reactions go. See you next week for Infinity War!

TheZapan99 Now I can agree that “historically” I’ve never heard of a black Viking but Thor is also set in a fantastical alien world where there are many creeds and colors unknown truly to society, it is also based off of the comics that featured these characters...so maybe I could give you Heimdal but Hogun (of the Warriors Three) has been Asian as of the comics...also need to look at the setting, Wakanda is a earth based isolationist African country that has never been conquered, meaning white people have never affected it (if you follow World History of colonization), so an alien planet with two “non-white” people/aliens makes more sense than an African nation that has never been colonized and who have remained in isolation having a bunch of white people around

Sometimes, strong ideas need loud voices to be heard. Sometimes, divisiveness is necessary - You can't just embrace your oppressors and hope for them to see the errors of their ways.

Really enjoying taking this whole journey with you guys. The MCU is by far my favourite on-screen universe; I'd call it the defining cinematic achievement of a generation. I grew up on Star Wars, Aliens, Terminator and the like - they all have a special place in my heart but this just blows all of that out of the water due to the level of the craft, the scale of the character and world building, the casting, the threading of so many arcs and narratives and the emotional heart of it all. Seeing Holden sign this one off by saying "See you in Infinity War" gave me excited tingles for what's to come for Matt and Jenna! PS: I know Jeremy wasn't part of this one but his sadness at not being featured in the comments recently made me think - I feel like his observations are so on-point that I subconsciously feel like he and I must have already discussed these films at length even though we've never met! Just wanted to give him a shout-out as his contributions are solid.

[@xavierhager9920]

The dog appearing put pf nowhere when Jenna is talking is one of the best part of the video

[@JackSoloYT]

Crazy to see how this movie is somehow even more relevant now than when it was released

[@KnoxviIle]

Shoutout Holden for keeping it real I honestly didn’t really care much for black panther either but it was still a good movie definitely around 7/10 for me

[@rburton76]

This was EXACTLY the reaction I was expecting from Matt. With so many bygone Jim moments, I knew he'd love it,

[@gamma_centauri]

So strange and so sad...looking back without T’Chala being here anymore. Rest In Peace Chadwick Boseman.

[@brianattyberry]

MUCH RESPECT to you guys for your take on this topic and the state of the world and the struggle of being looked at differently because how we look.

[@notchopcop2759]

Very devasted after hearing the news, wanted to see this one more time

[@hmulford3851]

Hopefully Infinity War turns his attitude about Doctor Strange around. He's INCREDIBLE in that movie.

[@nfw4747]

I honestly don’t really like the doctor strange movie compared to the rest of the mcu but I love him in infinity war. And I think I will like his next movie with Wanda

[@Rscreen]

I think watching the "to the end" trailer would go perfectly with the series your doing

[@RS-qc4tg]

Agreed, it is such a good trailer!

[@jaysunleblanc3680]

They definitely need to do it

[@bobaboy4620]

Yes

[@minhbui6182]

Yusssss

[@limitlesssoul2882]

I just cried rewatching this with you. I see so much new meaning that I didn't recognise before. RIP Chadwick.

[@4000mack]

I've watched several of these videos from you guys and I love it. You guys are different but yet so in tune with each other, it's a joy to watch true friends.

[@Ahjusshi_Brown]

*Side note:* I just wanted to say that I loved that Eric’s ancestral plane was the apartment where his father died (as opposed to the wildlife of wakanda) bc his father was never brought back and given a proper burial. I feel Eric also didn’t interact with any of the other past kings while in his ancestral plane bc of this and the fact that he didn’t grow up there and shared no true/tangible connection to that land and it’s Panther god

[@JackKarevissimo]

May Chadwick rip he was a great actor and great man taken too soon rest well man.😭

[@allature]

I feel like I gotta seperate my opinions on this movie, since it was such a phenomenon back when it came out. All in all, I loved it. I'd give it an 8.0, and it's only that low because of the technical problems like poor CGI. Solid story, great villain, phenomenal soundtrack. As for the cultural impact, as a black man it was great to see a film with a mostly black cast in such a high profile franchise. I'm not saying I can't relate to white heroes (peter parker is still my fav. superhero), but there's something special about seeing an entire cast that looks like you. Additionally, a major character, M'Baku, was played by a Tobagonian, and I am from Trinidad and Tobago, and our country was quite proud to see how popular he became after the film. Also, Shuri's actress was Guyanese, and the cast also incuded several other West Indians. So there was an additional layer of "representation" in this film was appreciated by myself and most others in my region.

[@tylertheimmortal5934]

Agree for the most part but I’m more of a 6-7/10, I related more to Civil War Panther personally loved his development in it, the villain while played with a great actor I didn’t understand at all like he was lowkey going the red skull route you know mass genocide inorder to acquire power even killing his own people but he is a villain and crazy so kind of get it. If I had to place it I’d say it’s around where Captain America/Thor1 are.

[@sillytv2918]

This is my favorite youtube channel, thanks for all of the great content!

[@jdrummerdd]

the Tchalla vs Imbaku fight was the most locked in I have ever seen matt. That was so cool, leaned forward and everything, dude was in the ZONE.

[@daniahkitten]

I've been so excited to see Matt's reaction to this movie 😄 I'm sure we all knew that this was the one to win him over for sure! Now I'm going to enjoy the movie for the 50th time 😂

[@Nemophilist850]

What's interesting about Black Panther is that they made the most advanced country in the world ultra-Nationalist and it's most intelligent resident the most openly xenophobic hero in the MCU.

[@01000001011100100111]

The movie is definitely anti-Imperialist, but then it takes a weird turn at the end to become pro-Globalist despite the bulk of the film seemingly validating Wakanda's Nationalism. Even Okoye proudly admits that if she is forced to choose between her nation and her husband, she'd kill her husband without question.

[@intense79nick]

This is the movie trying to comment on too many things I think.

[@themooseyoyos]

the whole movie is about how the nation's ultra-Nationalism has led it to take a disgusting route in the course of history (ignoring the pains and struggles of other people around the world).

[@tylertheimmortal5934]

isolationism is a massive thing in Wakanda they apparently did it for thousands of years but it makes sense the outside world quite literally has nothing to offer them, Vibranium is the most malleable, versatile and valuable metal there is all their tech and money are likely a result of it so why would they need or want to help other nations.

[@tylertheimmortal5934]

I should also not this is isolationism not Nationalism lol common mistake given they are on the same end of the spectrum.

[@randolphothegreat549]

8/10 for me. That's based on the overall MCU. At the time I would've gave this a 9.5 for sure.

[@LILGHETTI]

The intro was pleasant surprise, thank you matt for making me proud!

[@tonygourdine512]

When I first looked at your channel and was introduced to Matt I was very critical of him and his view. But over time, I have come to understand him alot better and began to understand his point of view and those things that are important to him. He has grown considerably and although I don't agree with some points and got to understand his frame of mind and he began to grow on me. 1st impressions can be misleading at times and sometimes it takes a couple times to get a good read on a person. So with that being said, as they say, " I don't care what people say about you, you're alright with me ". Lol .Also you've done a good job handling current issues in a sensitive way !!!

[@RainNoFlowers]

Loved this movie 😭 . Some people won’t get the deep weight of some of the things covered and why it hits certain people in a specific way.

[@spenser9908]

It wrongly implies that blacks are victims and whites are evil. It preaches against barriers while ironically promoting the notion of an ethno-state in Wakanda. The lore makes no sense. Why not give the Black Panther power to everyone? Where did the anti-Black Panther power / antidote come from? The entire thing was trash.

[@TheWisestWizards]

This was a decent movie. I would rank it somewhere near the middle of the overall MCU. Doesn't at all deserve to be the first superhero movie to get a Best Picture nomination. I was more interested in Shuri and the whole city and technology. I feel like they phoned in the fights and CGI in this movie for some reason. It did a good job of setting up the characters though. I still have high hopes for a sequel.

[@Eidlones]

Dark Knight was up for best picture, btw.

[@tripled2505]

I'm pretty sure there were many problems with cgi

[@DarkLordPikachu]

Eidlones dark knight wasn’t up for best picture. Ledger got a posthumous oscar for his performance, but the film itself wasn’t nominated for best picture

[@grantwatson8343]

These days movies mostly aren't nominated for how good they are, but what message they have. Take that how it is.

[@NickMaruca]

It wasn't nominated for Best Picture because it was one of the "Best Pictures" that year, unfortunately. It's all politics these days.

[@Jclarkis]

The cuts to Holden editing are gold

[@daytonaander4394]

I enjoy this content so much Holden thank you for making quarantine enjoyable ❤️

[@stanfordfeynman2796]

“That’s like a John Romita Jr. Spider-Man!” Mark Bagley: *intense screaming*

[@JeffKelly03]

RIP King. Amazing to realize he was battling stage 3 cancer while he made one of the most iconic superhero movies ever.

[@elliottdodson50]

Holden if you were a boxer your nickname would be ‘Humble’ Holden Hardman

[@Salty_mangos]

Triple H

[@bloodredrobot2613]

I'd say it Holden "Humble" Hardman

[@elliottdodson50]

Santiago Zuniga bruuuuh

[@tysh9un]

Rest in Peace to Chadwick we will miss you❤️ Wakanda Forever❤️

[@user-ur7yh9tn2m]

the timing is perfect for you guys to watch Black Panther, made me happy to see Matt get emotional at the end. HOLDEN FOREVER

[@ZeniaRose]

I am very pleased Matt liked it so much! :D

[@cirdecmilnag6847]

I'm excited for Infinity War! Can't wait to see their reaction.

[@Moviewarz]

Just a week to Infinity War!

[@kevinshepardson996]

“Is there something specific about it that makes it a 7.5?” Lol if anyone is at liberty to defend their ranking it’s the three people who gave it a 9.5 and 9.9- way overkill

[@athens_1psvr31]

I’ve been waiting months for you to get to this movie. Thank you for not being afraid to have real talk. I love this movies, Ironman, the Ant-mans, Spider-Man’s, and of course Infinity and Endgame.

[@capconman1233]

Love how Jenna was just playing with the dog during the questions 😂
