I think that Into the Spider-Verse might win. It checks off too many diversity boxes. It is also the most recent release out of the animated lineup, so judges' kids probably saw it not long ago and still won't shut up about it.

Suicide Squad was nominated and won an Oscar even though it is one of the worst capeshit films ever made.

>>1046314

What was Wewuz Panther like though? I've not watched it for obvious reasons but I wonder what's going on there.

>>1046319

From what I can remember, half the movie is blabbering about racial pride. Other half is capeshit action sequences.

>>1046307

We all know that Disney is gonna take it because the faggots at the academy don't see animation as something else than a way to make their children shut up. Not that it matters anyways because the Oscars are shit.

I really hope Spider-Verse gets it. I feel like it was the best animated film all year and it managed to use its cast more effectively than Incredibles 2. As for the short films, I've only seen Bao, but Bao was pretty good, so I'm hoping that wins, too.

They tried to make Killmonger's antics look like they were at least somewhat warranted while Wakanda was badwrong for its isolationism. Complete with turning Killmonger from a Wakandan born with a grudge against T'challa's family who also looked down upon other Africans into an American fighting waycism.

SS won an Oscar for best makeup and hair styling not something important like best picture.

>>1046369

>not wanting the award to go to Isle of Dogs

You're either a sony shill or have shit taste.

>>1046319

>They bring up other countries as "colonizers"

>Ignoring the fact that those countries helped to build up the world spreading culture and technology

>Wakanda could have done that instead of being an isolated, hidden society, which even mentions not allowing immigrants as they bring their own problems with them

>End of movie spoiler then they finally decide to share their Wakanda knowledge with the rest of the world, the same fucking world that has already been through an alien invasion, robot army war, etc just because of Black Panther fight with Killmonger

>>1046330

>Klaue

Actual spoiler He really should have gotten a better death though, seemed too simple for a bad guy who had been through so much.

>>1046411

>They bring up other countries as "colonizers"

Oh I remember that. It was something Black Panther's little sister called Agent Bilbo clearly in jest.

The fact fags lost their shit over it is a testament to the sheer autism that exists on this site.

<They tried to make Killmonger's antics look like they were at least somewhat warranted

No they didn't. They clearly state that Killmonger and his father were both radicalized in the states, and Killmonger's antics are portrayed as horrible.

>>1046425

>No they didn't

>T'challa didn't cancel traditional isolationist policy after his final fight with Killmonger

>T'challa didn't let Killmonger get one last Wakanda Sun after hearing his babble about muh slavery (you know, since slavery was all about Whitey being mean to the Negro)

>They clearly state that Killmonger and his father were both radicalized in the states, and Killmonger's antics are portrayed as horrible.

BP wouldn't have ended how it did if we weren't supposed to see Killmonger's actions as just a bit warranted.

Black Panther won't get Best Picture for the same reason Fury Road didn't get it: Its nomination is really just an appeal to popular consensus and to fool dumb normalfags. That the Academy seeks to introduce another Oscar for "Best Popular Film" to address low ratings is telling.

I was half-expecting Ralph to be replaced with another artsy foreign movie to make the category seem more inclusive.

>>1046307

>the one-two animated films made by a respected director and one made independently from hollywood

>pitched against fucking Disney three times over

just like pottery

>>1046307

>Ralph Breaks the Internet

Isnt this not even released yet?

Out of that lineup I've only seen spiderman but I just re-reap the original spiderverse storyline and the movie was better.

>>1047193

Came out like a month ago my dude.

>>1046314

>even though it's one of the worst capeshit films ever released.

I wouldn't go that far. It was just no better than any of them. It was certainly better than anything Fox shat out pre deadpool. Then there was Fan4stic.

>>1046307

Love the Oscars for making sure that NO animated movie will ever win best movie of the year by giving animation its own category.

>>1047198

Only good thing about Wreck it Ralph 2 that one song.

>>1046411

Yeah I was disappointed with Klaue. I thought they were going to turn him into living sound. Which would require mo-cap which Andy Serkis is famous for.

>>1046453

Y'know I just thought of a theory. What if Killmonger and Ross were just pawns in a grand scheme for the US to get access to Wakanda. Both Killmonger and Ross are trained by the US military. The CIA could use Killmonger to overthrow Wakanda but have Ross play good cop and help T'challa defeat Killmonger and thus become indebted to Ross and America. That way the US can now manipulate Wakanda to get Vibranium.

>>1046314

Wakanda is the worst case of world building in all comic movies. Prove me wrong.

>>1046411

<They bring up other countries as "colonizers"

It is a narcissistic delusion that Negros are actually superior yet oppressed at the same time.

>>1046453

>BP wouldn't have ended how it did if we weren't supposed to see Killmonger's actions as just a bit warranted.

Killmonger explicitly said that he plans to kill children too and people act like this guy is a deep complex character.

>>1046457

I don't get why faggots here even care about the Oscars.

>>1046411

There was good commentary in Panther but I cringed whenever they brought the colonizer shit up. That's like calling all white people nazis, which is basically just as racist. They keep bringing it up even though:

A: The people from Wakanda don't even know racism or white supremacy, except the few ones living in other cities, so how is it a current topic from them.

B: Was Wakanda even a part of slavery? They keep implying they never supported any outsider, so they are just cowards without a clue.

Even more hilarious that "Wakanda Forever" was translated for the German version in a way that it sounds like the 3rd Reich. "Wakanda above everything."

>>1046330

Well I liked Killmonger too. Because he was actually right, except the genocide part.

Which made Black Panther and everyone else look like ignorant idiots and I lost all my sympathy in the character and Wakanda.

Killmonger would be a way more awesome Black Panther. Kinda like a black Batman.

>>1046330

Muthahfuckin' Man-Ape was best girl. I don't know how they did it, but they manged to turn a groid caricature into a chracter I'd enjoy watching in his own movie.

>>1053920

Shuri, who lived an extremely privileged life, calling Agent Bilbo "colonizer" is what killed it for me. That and the memetalk.

>>1053972

He reminded me a lot of Brian Blessed in Flash Gordon.

Truth. This is why you never include memes in your work. It gets dated pretty quickly.
