Jordan Villarreal, 21, film major: “I thought it was an amazing film, they just did a significant job at representing culture, as well as bringing in social elements into the film, that I thought was really good (and) really progressive for a Marvel film.”

Osiris Fulton, 22, communications major: “I like the ideology that they had going on between Killmonger and T’challa. Because it’s not often you actually get to see a villain add to the dynamic of the hero, to where he actually empowers the hero to make better judgements on what to do and better carry himself as a hero.”

Arianna Nesbeth, 24, psychology major: “I loved it, because you usually don’t see Black people, Africans, (and) African-American people in a positive light. You usually see them as a supporting character or you see them as like that typical stereotype.”

Fredonia Dexter, 21, who is studying acting: “I think it was amazing honestly, I mean I know there (are) a lot of movies that come out all the time and I think it was perfect timing for it to come out, especially during Black History Month and getting to see African-Americans in a positive light.”
