This is the start of another set of movies I have been putting off because I did not like the things I was hearing about it. For the most part, I am happy to say the things I was hearing about it were wrong, but I am saddened to say I still did not fully enjoy the movie. For as long as it was there was not much actual story to it, I feel like it was a lot of filler details about the people and their journey and we were not seeing much of how that fits into the MCU in this moment because it is an introductory character film. The other big thing I did not enjoy was this outsider from the states that comes and attempts to take over the kingdom. I have no words for his demeanor other than he is everything that is wrong with this movie. I hate him.
!!! SPOILERS BELOW !!!
- I'm confused, what is vibranium?
- This actor looks familiar for some reason...
- What is that blue on his lip?
- Two questions, how long after the previous king dying is this movie? And why does younger brother look older than the Panther brother?
- So the answer to how long is a week.
- We meditate to fly the plane?
- How did their technology get so advanced? Why doesn't the rest of the world have flying trains?
- Why does he care about the history?
- Why does he want the Wakanda tool?
- What did he put in her drink?
- Why would she take somebody else's drink anyway?
- Did they steal the ambulance and uniforms too?
- Why are all the warrior women bald?
- Do black panthers have spots?
- That looks painful.
- Why do none of them want to challenge? I would think they would all want a chance at the throne.
- He does not look fit enough to fight him.
- So if he has a black panther mask and they harness the black panther power, does this other tribe harness whatever animal their mask represents?
- Why do the guards keep getting closer?
- "Don't make me kill you" is a bold statement, as you are hanging further over the edge than he is.
- Why are we burying him?
- It's giving Simba and Mufasa talk vibes.
- Was his eye always lazy?
- I know it has something to do with their culture but I will never understand why you would want that big round disk in your lip like that. It looks like it could be very painful and problematic.
- That's kind of cool that they can merge their calls together instead of having duplicate visuals.
- Did Wakanda care about the item being in the museum? They definitely care about it being stolen from the museum, that is for usre.
- It seems weird to me how advanced they are technologically and yet they still choose to honor their tribal traditions both in attire but also the dueling ceremonies and such.
- Was that meant to be a play on the what are those vine with shoes?
- How hard were you expecting him to hit it?
- That is a lot of vehicles pulling up at once, not very conspicuous.
- He was keeping it in his trousers?
- So much for not wanting a shootout...
- I thought she wasn't allowed to go? Also, why does the inside of the car look like it isn't actually there?
- Her sliding up in the seat like its a go kart was funny.
- OH! She wasn't actually there! The car was virtual! How was he riding on top of it then though?
- Pause, what is Capt's shield and the iron man suit made of again? Is it vibranium?
- Why does he assume he is an outsider? How else would he have known that it was a real Wakanda item in the museum?
- Do you think he is going to take this information back to the CIA and tell them about all of it?
- Does she know he doesn't know how much vibranium they have?
- If he is one of the CIA's then how does he have the Wakanda markings?
- So they are cousins?
- Is there a difference between the small raised areas and the long raised areas?
- Wait, so is it the bumpy skin guy who got cancer and died? I thought it was the guy he just threw over the cliff...
- So if the original bumpy skin leader did not care to fight the black panther king, why was he so proud of this guy for doing so?
- They were so worried about the sister not honoring tradition and yet here we are with this a hole who is burning everything.
- This guy is part of the problem, not the solution and that is sad.
- Has mom's hair always been white like that?
- So much for offering that plant to the ape king for assistance.
- Oh, so NOW you want to support the original king because you can see he is still alive... wow.
- Where's the blood spatter?
- OH! The sister is the Build-A-Bear we had in store!
- Why is the suit not pushing the force back out again like it did when he hit it?
- Wow, he almost gave his life for Wakanda, taking out that ship with the weapons.
- She is very fierce running in front of the rhino like that.
- Aww, he let him experience the sunrise.
- That is nice of him to try and make right by their wrongs, help the next generation.
- Why is their first thought to rip it apart and sell it?
- I mean, wasn't Wakanda already working on coming out of the shadows with his father going to discuss the Avengers initiative?
- How did the sister go from spearheading the tech initiative in California to being wherever she is now?
- IS THAT BUCKY?? How did he get there?? I thought he was frozen??
