[QUOTE="Thot Leader, post: 1179709, member: 14117"] Based China: "Black Panther reviews from China call the superhero movie 'too black' and 'a torture for the eyes' .... Now, despite Black Panther showing decent opening at the Chinese box-office, the movie is being criticized for being "too black", and "too dark". These reviews are being posted on the Chinese website Douban — the Chinese equivalent of IMDb — where Black Panther scored a 6.8 rating out of 10.
