Can’t wait to watch

[@Julesong]

You should interview author Steven Barnes, he’s been writing on black, Asian, others, and Afrofuturism for quite some time. Excellent author!

We out here in Africa dealing with real life issues

[@byrolyn8182]

Civilization started in Africa. Adam and Eve were African. Look at the DNA studies. The 1st iron age started in ancient Africa. The ancient Egyptians were mostly African. Look at mostly African pharoahs with full lips and broken noses to hide the African features. Ancient Nubia which is now Sudan has 3 times the pyramids as Egypt. Cataract surgery was performed in ancient Africa with medal instruments. Imoptep performed over 200 surgeries in ancient Africa. Egypt is a country on the continent of Africa. Egypt is not in the middle east. This is a myth.

And it (Afrofuturism) all started with Jack Kirby who created the character of Black Panther in Fantastic Four Issue#52

Will this be replayed? If so when?

[@hunnerdayEDT]

It's on Hulu

[@IronFlowerZ]

Well done Ryan Coogler is the best director in Afrofuturism

[@evanrutherfordlazyahole9079]

The only way Africa is getting that future is keeping American politics and other things out.

[@evanrutherfordlazyahole9079]

@Censored Opinions and look at how we abandoned Libyans when they actually started ending up in slave markets. Clearly we care about the people and not their natural resources. Plenty of African geniuses modernizing their own country. Plenty of African scholars quit treating them like uncivilized barbarians....

Please wait until this movie comes out before y'all start this again. We must say goodbye with respect before we move on.

[@liampatrick3110]

They are WAY too ambitious about this! :/

[@DTey22]

[@fartgangtv9143]

[@Phizzo4real]

@@Phizzo4real again? So apparently it's been happening a lot. Not just to me

[@CreativeNitabera]

Don't mind them

[@vexnguyen4833]

ignore them, movies are for everyon to enjoy

[@rasikalasanthi4620]

Social media sucks man

[@beyondhuman3148]

It's a fictional place, stop acting like this movie represents African culture because it doesn't.
Plus people should be talking about real cultural places in Africa and the actual clothing they wear and not the fictional stuff from movies like fakanda.

[@Beetwate305]

Man shut up!! It all represents Africa!! It’s inspired by Africa

[@pictorya]

Such a hater.. 😂🙄

[@brothercinnamon2479]

sit and spin.

[@Quanic2000]

Afrofuturism is what Africa would've been if it wasn't infected with colonialism.
No one is claiming this is what current or actual African culture is.

[@TheCrucialQ]

Captain Obvious, WTF..."fakanda", you really thought that was necessary?
