These days, it can feel like there’s so much to see on streaming services that there’s nothing to watch. And scrolling through Disney+ is such a shot of nostalgia that we just end up binging all of Ducktales, feeling like we’re five again and forgetting about the existence of time itself. But today, Marvel’s first Best Picture nominee Black Panther is finally available to stream on Disney+.
If you’re Team Netflix and doing a double take right now, that’s because the title just left the OG streaming service the day before. Black Panther has now taken its rightful place next to a hefty library of 11 other MCU movies, including Avengers: Endgame, Captain Marvel and Doctor Strange. In the film’s honor, here’s why you should click play on the 2018 record-breaking hit:
The Hype May Have Settled Down, But It’s Still Among Marvel’s Best
There was a time when we couldn’t quit talking about Black Panther. It became a cultural phenomenon and top box office earner in the early months of 2018 before carrying over its buzz to Oscar season, when at one time, we thought it might have a shot at taking home the top prize for Best Picture. It was an especially exciting time for Marvel and the MCU, but there was a point when the name became bigger than the movie itself.
Now that two years have passed since Black Panther’s release, it’s time to check it out with a fresh perspective on it all. Hype can affect a movie-watching experience one of two ways: it can either make you appreciate it more or bring your expectations way up. If it’s been a while since you’ve seen Black Panther, it’s time to see if your opinion has changed. It’s certainly top-tier Marvel and Michael B. Jordan’s Killmonger is among the best MCU villains.
