What a racist pile of trash this bullshit is.
Dang. You must have watched a different movie than I did. In the one I saw, the white people were on the periphery. There was this big battle between a bunch of black people and some Mesoamerican (I had to look that up) blue people. Then again color blindness does run in my family. My father and my son were/are afflicted. And here I thought I'd been spared - so maybe I have to rewatch it. [Reply]

Pretty hilarious that the people that scream non-stop about "RePrEsEnTaTiOn" forgot to put men in this movie.
I saw an article the other day with John Lequizamo complaining that they hired Chris Pratt to voice Mario. Coming from the Hispanic who played an Italian Luigi. Complained they they should have used POC for a white role. I wonder how people would have responded if they used a black actor to voice Donkey Kong, inclusive or racist? :-) [Reply]

Let's be real, the Chris Pratt playing Mario outrage is because it's Chris Pratt.
The left absolutely hates that dude for no reason. [Reply]
The movie builds the cultural worlds so well, Ryan Coogler has a real talent for that. Angela Bassett was great, M'Baku was great, even Letitia Wright's acting and loss throughout the movie was great, but then she becomes Black Panther and the movie devolves into a jump-cut filled mess.
The final victory feels hollow, and unearned. They needed to spend more time with Okoye's victory over her personal fight, as well as M'Baku and some of the other Dora Millaje. You made a 2hr and 40min movie, you can't add another 5 minutes of end fight scene, everything the movie has been leading up to? ReRe Williams was done well, but I don't think they ever call her Ironheart throughout the movie, so for all people see is an Iron Man ripoff, and her suit looks kinda goofy too.
The thing that I didn't get was Letitia Wright's dickish behavior to M'Baku and to Nakia. Her bloodlust felt off-character for her, and when she was fighting Namor, she was just taking hits and had no real combat skill to keep up with him outside of Vibranium suit and synthetic herb powers. Namor should've been able to take her out easily, but taking out his wing ankles was a smart move, and keeping him away from water, those were great elements of the fight.
Also you need to put up some damn light sources, this movie is too damn dark and I couldn't even see what was going on the screen in alot of scenes.

I thought it was just me and the low budget movie theater I went to see it in.
As far as the movie, I try not to get into what should and shouldn't have happened. The movie for what it was and the circumstances surrounding it was the best told story ever in the MCU imo. The plot made totally made sense. Even the things people are griping at can be explained away. The actors did their thing, especially Angela Bassett. Coogler did a masterful job [Reply]
Respect the movie and it did it's job. It had a heavy feel to it and good performances I thought. Definitely missing Chadwick Boseman as it didn't have that star power and missing the main BP but I think the cast did a great job to make it as good as possible. I loved Namor and think he'll be great going forward along with RIRI Williams. I enjoyed the first one more but it's definitely cause Tchalla was in it. The mid credit scene is good. I can't see myself seeing it multiple times, maybe a 2nd but it feels like a funeral/tribute. I think if you liked the first one you'll like this one too.
I really loved the first one and Chadwick's performance, he was a presence that is definitely missed. [Reply]
