It had a lot riding on it. And while Black Panther also has a lot riding on it, the majority of the 17 movies before it have been massive successes and his predecessor as a high-profile black superhero is Blade, also Marvel and also successful, so he has a lot more cushioning to fall back on if the movie isn't all that good (which thankfully does not seem to be the case at all, it sounds phenomenal).
