“A torture for the eyes”: Chinese moviegoers think Black Panther is just too black

Let's not get carried away here, America's racism is systematic.
The movie was way too dark though. Specifically the jungle scene and the casino scene. Could barely tell what was going on when they started fighting.
Not sure if my theatre was fucked, or it was a combination of black costumes and low lighting.
Every other scene was fine though.

You are seriously misled if you think racism in the US is worse than racism in China.
China's would be, but there are literally no black people living there. They instead take it out on minorities like the Uygur. China is super racist, you just don't notice it outside of China.
Yes America's racism is bad, but isn't China currently conducting an ethnic cleanse of the Uighur people? It's fair to say they're worse.
Expected. This is one of the reasons so many thought the movie would be "risky" to make. They knew exactly which countries and regions wouldnt take kindly to the cast and overall feel of the movie.
I'm surprised they didn't add a token Chinese actor.

China has black slaves in prisons and the government oppressing black people?
Both countries have some fairly large problems with race both on a cultural and systematic levels. Not sure I'd be able to really consider one worse than the other since they're both fucked up in their own unique ways, though some are pretty universal between the two.
Yeah if there was a significant Black population in China, racism would definitely become systematic towards them.

Yikes, that's pretty bad :/
It was a cool scene but was dark as fuck, I was at the Alamo Drafthouse and had problems eating my salad lol

There is the whole ethnic cleansing of Tibet and the Uygur peoples.....
I mean to have black people living in the country it's a start
Given how uyghurs are treated... It wouldn't surprise me if they did!
I think I had a similar experience, particularly with the jungle scene. Was pretty disorienting.
This movie made a shit-ton of money in China. Has overall positive reviews. So a number of racially intensive comments online are now the whole of "Chinese moviegoers?"
Yes, there's something to the racist comments but extending this out to "chinese moviegoers" is a bit, idk racist in its own right

It made $63 million, I think we can filter out the 'comedic' hot takes just as easily from overseas as we do here.
Im not quite sure, but Douban is an open forum/comment section.
I think you could easily find similar comments under YouTube videos.

Uh do you know whats happened in the history of China? That have done some henously racist and xenophobic shit.

Yeah it made $66 million and debuted at the top of the box office. Considering China also has its own film industry, that's fine. I'm sure other countries react to blackness with disgust as well because of the Anglo imperialist agenda. Don't lose the plot
A stark difference compared to the "What do Chinese People think of Black Panther" video that is in the "What do Koreans think of Black Panther" thread. Unfortunately this doesn't feel like a big surprise that there are people who feel this way and make those comments
I saw the movie in Korea, and from what I've seen Koreans really enjoyed the movie. Was honestly expecting this thread to be about this, that first scene was literally too black, it was just not good.
It goes BOTH ways. Black Panther is doing amazing in China at the box office, better than expected drops this Sunday.
