BP passed $700m worldwide and joins TFA, Avengers and Jurassic World as the only movies to make $100m in the second weekend (and had the second best second weekend ever)

I'm just saying, this movie that takes place in the same universe as the Avengers and the Guardians of the Galaxy is so unrealistic.

I mean, the profits movies make in general keep going up, so the most profitable movies ever made generally seem to be the last couple of major summer blockbuster types, no matter what they were about.

Lobok posted:Wakanda is an autocratic country, hiding itself and its capabilities from the outside world. A comic book movie where a whole country has a secret identity. It's also never been taken over nor has it taken over other countries (at least not since the invention of guns). Why would they produce guns? Not for export, because then their identity would be revealed. The movie itself mentions that Shuri had to invent sonic barriers in order to allow vibranium to be transported at speed on their mag lev trains. Vibranium bullets would be too unstable, due to vibranium's property that allows it to absorb all force applied to it, i.e. how Cap can survive a blow from Mjolnir or a 20 story fall by landing on his shield. Vibranium bullets would probably shatter the gun they're in once fired.

Just people like watching dinosaurs eat people, and the worst kids in a movie for a long time didn't bother them, or any of the other cliches in it Also looks like the Silver Sable movie is "indefinably delayed" https://screenrant.com/silver-sable-black-cat-production-delay/ Maybe Marvel went "uh so we're going to use Black Cat in the next Spider-Man movie"

It’s kinda crazy how like every decision by Sony Pictures is so bad that any time you hear of their ideas being scuppered you go “That probably just saved them a whole shitload of money.”

FlamingLiberal posted:I saw the Venom trailer again in front of Black Panther, and that is seriously an awful way to introduce your movie. It tells you nothing. They don't even put the title on the screen at the end. It's just the Venom eyes/mouth which turns into a V. Nobody who is not a huge comic fan is going to get it. I just get shocked that they dont even say venom in the end there. "Everyone has their own..... ..... ....demons"

We can all Agree that minus Goldblum, JP : Tragic Kingdom or whatever its called looks like crap? I imagine it now, people will say "well, the first bit is neat with them getting on the island and seeing the remains of everything, but it went to poo poo when the kids that stowed away ran off" or some other crap. And yea, I have no idea what they're trying to do with Venom. They clearly want to sell it more "hey here's a mysterious movie starring Tom Hardy!" and not scare off the people who aren't into comic movies. But they want to also keep the comic book audiance because for some reason Venom is really popular outside of a Spider-Man villain. At least Black and Silver could of been an interesting Spy/Heist movie. I bet Marvel would have let them use AIM or Hydra as the target. Man I want some god drat Bee Keeper AIM guys. What's the next big thing that could get us a real Infinity War trailer? Its literally 2 months away at this point, you'd think they'd have kicked in high gear now that Black Panther is out. Maybe they're busy recutting trailers to make sure all the poo poo they love from BP is in Infinity War.

Belatedly there's a pretty good explanation for armoured rhinos in Wakanda if you think about it - the existence of the EMP and Hijack disks seen in the film. Those clearly do work on Wakandan tech (Ross uses them on a Wakandan plane in the climax) whereas actual living animals would be immune. The spears and swords can be explained also - the central criteria of Wakanda military tech is that it needs to not give away Wakanda's high tech status. A vibranium gun means you'd better track down every last vibranium bullet if you fire it. 'Ceremonial' weapons that conceal advanced functions, tribal cloaks that project energy shields, those are things that pass by outsiders. Observe that Ross was instantly interested in Klaue's energy gun (which is tech Wakanda has and uses within Wakanda) but he never stopped to question the spear. Fangz fucked around with this message at 13:46 on Feb 26, 2018 |

If you're keeping rhinos anyway might as well train them for combat.

McCloud posted:Did they ever explain how Klause got his gun? Not specifically, but I understood it to be a modified sonic mining tool from Wakanda’s mines: they’re so advanced their power tools are super weapons to the outside world. Some Wakandan tech seems to escape sometimes: otherwise there would be nothing for their spy networks to do.

McCloud posted:Did they ever explain how Klause got his gun? Yeah it's a modified mining tool. It's a sonic(or just a kinetic force style) weapon, not a gun that shoots bullets too, which seems to fit in with how the mines are shown to work when we go there.

Killmonger's dad died well before Klaue lost his arm, though I guess he could have modified a gun he already had.

A man wielding a vibranium shield beat the poo poo out of a dude wearing the most advanced combat armor on the planet, and it was JUST a shield, not a combination shield/sonic cannon. And it was specifically mentioned in the movie that they weave vibranium into clothing. Gonna go out on a limb here and state that part of why they don’t need tanks is because everyone in their warrior caste could take down a tank or three with what they use to hunt antelope.

Look if you don’t have the checks in place to make sure children aren’t accidentally sent on international trips with a ton of cargo then the fault is yours, not the kid.
