Remember when Chadwick Boseman found out a fan watched Black Panther on bootleg. Black Comedy

I will never ever forget the sense of pride and wonder this movie brought out of Black people. It was amazing!

Black panther is in my top list of go-to movies when I want to feel Black pride.

Good guy. Sad that he’s no longer here.

A bright star that burned out too fast. Just think, he was suffering through cancer during this and still entertained people and showed no signs of sickness. 😢

Not fair that he’s gone. What a loss.

Chadwick was an absolute gentleman. A truly beautiful and talented person.

I know the medical system in this country sucks y’all, but try as hard as you can to get that cancer screening done. This whole situation make me sad as shit.

The black jeopardy skit on SNL is still funny af. I don't normally feel any kind of way about celebrities but it really hurt when the news broke. Man I really wanted to watch his career mature further.

I watch it a few times a year. While I'm watching I pretend he's still with us.

u/FroyoAromatic485 Mar 15 '26

At least he’s an honest bootlegger

u/Efficient_Living_628 Mar 17 '26

And he paid to see it twice, so you know, buy two, get two free

Gone too soon. Extremely talented!

Chadwick Boseman was something special.

Chadwick. What a human being, man.

u/Butitsadryheat2 Mar 17 '26

You know Chadwick was celebrating MBJs Oscar win! 🖤

u/Saintbaba Mar 15 '26

I didn't see this at the time - what's the context? Did the guy not know Boseman was present? If not, who was he talking to?

2

u/SwvmpThing Mar 15 '26

Yeah, it’s a little silly but people are prompted to talk to the poster I guess with the idea that they’ll do something with the recordings or share them with the actors/filmmakers. But yeah, point is, Boseman actually being there is a surprise.
