Oh God, I thought it was just the "racist" joke because it had the word "black" in it.

Why? That wouldn't be funny.

I think the Black Panther movie is going to be amazing, and I'm really happy for black kids (and adults) that they get to have a massive blockbuster superhero movie finally. It's really cool that it's a black director, writers and most of the cast. It's great to have a black story being told on this scale that isn't another black struggle tearjerker, but an action packed afrofuturist superhero movie.

I bet it's going to sell a lot of tickets too. It'll bring the regular marvel audience out, but every black nerd and lots of non-nerds are going to come out for it. Especially with it being the lead in to Avengers 3.

How many times can you use the word black??

I don't think there's an upper limit. In this case it's six (did you have trouble counting?) but I'm sure it's been used a lot more than that before.

Isn't black panther a tautology anyway? If a panther isn't black then it's a leopard/jaguar/whatever. Panther being a melanistic big cat. He should be the Perfectly Normal Panther. Or Melanistic Jaguar.

Or they should have got Mos Def in and called it Def Leopard.

Cool that they invited Joss Whedon even though they've otherwise parted ways.

Edit: Maybe some blue screen is going on, but I think they are mostly all there

Oh yeah. That must be piss easy money for him. I bet he’s only said it once and everything else is done in post.

She does, but I think it's primarily that haircut and those trousers.

Probably "グルートです"

I don't know the character or context at all, so that's my best guess.

But it is though

He's a tree. Called Groot

How formal is he, what is he responding to, how wordy is he, would he talk with a neutral, boyish or mannish tone... And so on.
