All the power to Theron, but other than Okoye who is subservient to the male King, who else is a woman in power? Is she referring to the other female soldiers and maybe Shuri? In which case they hardly have authority on crucial matters. Wakanda is still a patriarchal tribe society.
I feel sometimes these celebs are looking to overpraise black panther for what they think the film represents rather than what it actually is and does because of the films cultural success.

Theron is to be thanked for Furiosa and Monster. This is just blatant business development a la Hollywood, open lucrative doors by endorsement and brown nosing.
Her quotes are evidently absurd and contradictory; Wakanda was an anachronistic male-led society with fighting power-rituals and ape-grunting. Wakanda is even sillier than the wealthy African nation of ZAMUNDA in Coming to America (1988).
Hell, absurdly Theron is more African than any of the lead actors in that movie. Allegedly, Marvel even wanted to let go of the African accents (a la Scarlet Witch) to make the movie more accessible until some of the cast objected.

There are no African American characters in that movie as far as I can recall (except maybe Kilmonger). All the main characters are AFRICAN.
Also, no glass ceilings either. This is not the first movie to have women in power. It's not the first movie to have African women in power. It's not the first movie to have an African male in power and it's not the first movie to have a Black superhero.
This movie is a a great comic book superhero movie, that's what it should be praised for.

*googles Charlize Theron* HOLY SHIT. Didn't know this either.
On 21 June 1991, Theron's father, an alcoholic,[12] threatened both teenaged Charlize and her mother while drunk, physically attacking her mother. Theron's mother then shot and killed him. The shooting was legally adjudged to have been self-defence, and her mother faced no charges.[13][14]

The actual video, so that those who wish to judge her comments for themselves might do so more convieniently.
This may be the night that my dreams might let me know...

Technically not born in Africa, Lupita is Kenyan and was raised there. She is of the race of people in the movie unlike Charlize, and she also has lived in Africa longer, so I’d say she counts. |
