There's another one this weekend: Black Panther.

I am NOT going to see this, nor am I slightly interested in the impact but I AM wondering:

Is anybody on here interested ?

I was not that interested in the movie, but after seeing the reviews I think I will see it at some point. As cyber says, it's received excellent reviews. Everybody who has seen it seems to think it's amazing. Scanning the Rotten Tomatoes top critics reveals comments like: "transcends its comic-book origins, achieving a mythic grandeur that's nothing short of exhilarating."  "transcends the superhero genre to emerge as an epic of operatic proportions."  "It's uniquely satisfying popcorn entertainment, a triumphant trifecta of subject matter, talent and timing."  "This is 2018's first great motion picture - a title that will surely be remembered when end of the year bests are discussed."

Obviously a big focus is that this movie is based around a black character, which is a first in the Marvel world.

One recalls our earlier discussion regarding Wonder Woman, and your question of "wouldn't this be more inspiring if this were a regular woman fighting for pay equity in an office building?"   No. It wouldn't.
