Black Panther Research Paper

Superior Essays
I really love Marvel film series. I have never missed any marvel films, so I was planning on watching this film a few months ago when there were trailers being released. Overall, I enjoyed the movie. I actually filter the heroes I love, so I have deep knowledge about the most famous heroes like Iron man and Captain America. However, I do not know any history of other characters. Watching Black Panther was a good start of getting to know about others. First of all, about the quality of the movie, since I am a movie lover, I usually watch all kinds of movies with positive perspective. Also, Black Panther was so great for me. I loved the senses of humor of the actors and actresses in the film. They concentrated on their characters so much that …show more content…
To pick one, if you watch Avengers series, you might enjoy more since they do not describe Black Panther in details. Since it was a superhero film, watching action scenes enriched my experience. However, as I do not enjoy historical films and do not have knowledge about African culture, it was hard to compare it to the modern cultural plots. But I would make sure that their costumes were so amazing. T’Challa, the Black Panther, used to “wear” the costumes, but now, he wears a necklace that enables him to convert his clothing. I especially loved the subtle color of purple around his costume. Also, his father, T’Chaka, although he was not shown in most of the films, he showed the greatness of the King with Black costumes with golden color around him. Everett was a agent of CIA, and he was presented as nearly “only” American in the film. He performed uniqueness of the film as a typical officer of CIA with a formal suit. Ulysses Klaue was shown as very tough, but a little crazy man. He looked he has gone through a lot of hard situations. He has a specially modified machine arm, which I loved to have one. The tattoo on his neck was also impressive. Bucky Barnes also has a special arm. To differentiate, Klaue had a weak, but shooting arm, while Bucky got a very strong arm without function of shooting blasts. To compare with Batman, this film is more well made since it is the latest. It was able to make more concentrate more on the film with special effects while Batman was difficult to concentrate on because of weak special effects and background music. However, I think I laughed more when I watched Batman, making it more memorable and gives better impression, while Black Panther did show some funny scenes but were not able to give more intimate impressions and image to me. Overall, I do not think it was so groundbreaking kind of hero film, since it followed most of the superhero series. The main character

    Brandon Avendano APUSH 03-12-18 P4 Short Answer Rewrite 3. During the 1960s and 1970s, the US experienced a wave of social movements, ranging from gay rights to latino problems. These movements all sought for change and got backlash from not only other groups of people, but from the government itself.

    Moral panic can be defined in many different ways. One way where “Moral panic” can be better understood is by defining it as a concept as panic, fear, morals and/or “a state intervention greatly exceed the objectives threat posed to society by a particular individual or group” (Bonn Scott, Psychology today). It can also be defining as ideology of what’s wrong and and right beliefs. Like discussed in class, moral panics can be presented in both ideology and social justice. Although Professor Palakoff explained ideology and social justice, idealogy plays a bigger role to the understanding of the film “The black panthers”.…

    “The Legacy of the Black Panther Party”, a journal article written by JoNina Abron in 1986, discusses what she feels is the ongoing legacy of the Black Panther Party. First she discusses why the Black Panther Party failed and continues to the legacy and contributions that the BPP made, such as the free breakfast and lunch programs for school children and preventive health care. Her opinion is that the legacy of the Black Panther Party is its contributions to popular politics and culture in the US and abroad. This is useful to my research because she mentions “intercommunalism” which could be useful to my paper and why she thinks the party failed, as a former member. Calloway, Carolyn R.. 1977.…

    This shows that while Zack Snyder is a good director the Marvel directors are plentiful and more talented. In conclusion, the Marvel and DC universes are similar in some ways but ultimately different. While the DC universe hasn’t even scratched the surface yet in their potential, they also haven’t come close to the amount of success that the Marvel movies have had. Also with only one movie releasing next year they will not be doing any catching up anytime soon.…

    The name “Black Panther” holds a different connotation to it depending on who you ask. For some it may be more literal and referring to the actual animal, for others it harkens back to the civil rights group formed in the 1960s. Now however, people are familiar with the term because of the superhero movie released on February 16th of this year. The movie tells the story of T’Challa, King of the fictional African country Wakanda, who returns back to his home country to find that he has a challenger who wants his throne. Yet, boiling Black Panther down to just another “superhero movie” feels disingenuous because the film provides so much more than fighting scenes, action shots, and an obnoxious villain.…
