usually, by "woke" movies people mean movies only made for the sake of being "woke", no? like its only message is "here's all the diversity, look, look, at our big woke diverse movie! now, give us the moneys we are so diverse look at us and don't bother us anymore with your agenda!"

Black Panther was seemingly made for the sake of being the MCU's first black-lead movie. And it's great. Drag can't think of any other movies made for the sake of being woke, so we'll just have to rely on this sample size of 1 which says woke movies are awesome.

It was ok. I didn’t get the hype around it and didn’t think it was great or as good as everyone was saying it was.

The good part is that it offers an analysis of where actual power within a monarchy comes from, and how American agents destroy regimes.

Same. I was told "It's nothing like the other MCU movies, you'll love it!", and I watched it and... it's probably the best MCU movie I've seen, but still very MCU.
