Hey, he had a scene in Wakanda Forever too, didn’t he?? Anyway, Creed. I think Fruitvale is one of the more overpraised movies of recent times, Black Panther I really like, but easily Creed.

Yeah, Jordan was in Wakanda Forever. Thanks for the catch!

If anyone wants to vote for Wakanda Forever, put it down as a write-in vote on the thread, and it'll count towards the poll results.

Fruitvale Station and Creed are extremely close. I think I might side with Creed overall as it salvaged a long-decayed franchise and juiced it enough to give it a righteous sequel and a pretty decent third film, and it's easily Jordan's best outing with Coogler.

Black Panther and its sequel are comfortably last for me.

Very excited for their next pairing, so long as it's not MCU-related.

Good morning, Oscar Buzz. I'm listening.

Quite like all their films together. I think Creed reaches a higher level of greatness, though, with multiple scenes that have me ready to run through a brick wall and a Stallone performance that devastates me every time.

Oh, I have, but I also heard about them rebooting The X-Files, so I won't trust anything until I actually see a trailer.

Creed was good but pretty formulaic.

I'd say Jordan's best performance for Coogler is arguably the first Black Panther, but it's tough to pick.

It’s a tough choice for me. I get the love for Creed, believe me I do. But I think what Coogler accomplished in Black Panther was amazing. A great film that became a pop culture phenomenon. In some ways it kind of overshadowed Infinity War (here in the US specifically) when they both were released in 2018. Along with Endgame, probably the two best MCU films. And like you said Jordan gives his best performance in a Coogler film with Killmonger. One of the great villains in the MCU which notoriously had some difficulty giving us great villains outside Thanos, Loki, and Killmonger.

One of my favorite scenes from BP:
