The Cultural Impact of Black Panther

Long before even making its debut in February, Black Panther solidified itself as one of the most talked-about projects of the year, not just because it catapulted stars like Michael B. Jordan into superstar status but also because of the bar it set in terms of onscreen representation for people of colour. Whether Twitter users were sharing their plans to throw epic viewing parties or praising the film for its concept and predominantly black cast, Black Panther proved it wasn't just a movie but a cultural phenomenon. And if you don't believe us, then we'll have to point you in the direction of the film's history-making Golden Globes nominations. It became the first superhero flick to ever be nominated for best dramatic picture.
