Seems kind of dickish and ineffective to kill most people in NYC and do nothing to the rest of the world when NYC is responsible for 1% of the garbage in the ocean.

Even in an "ends justify the means" way, getting rid of that 1% doesn't actually make the ocean cleaner or stop the other 99%.

He should either be killing all surface dwellers or making them agree to a global commitment to clean up the ocean.

Right for the wrong reasons, though. Orm didn't really care about taking out surface worlders or whatever, he happily hired them to do his bidding. He was just using that as a drumbeat to rile up his base, so he could conquer all the various Atlantean nations.

Yeah which was unfortunate. He could have just declared war on the surface dwellers.

That's from far enough back that I'm side-eyeing it just because they might have meant "It'd be fine if he was exclusively crusading against non-whites. We wouldn't even mention it! But he's attacking everyone indiscriminately and that includes the only real people, white men!"

Namor looks badass and I love that we're going to see some of his past. Making him a complete three-dimensional character instead of just the next villain to introduce then dump is a great idea. Like yeah, Namor's an rear end in a top hat, but he's also not wrong about a lot of things.

So my wife had a thought

In the BP trailer Angel Bassett mentions that "my entire family is gone". We know T'Challa is dead, but don't know how that is being handled in the story. Are they going to kill off Shuri because of problems with the actress, and they're putting it right out on main street because, gently caress her?

Probably not, no, since she's pretty prominent in the trailer. Either a misdirect/out of context thing, or she "dies" halfway through and shows up in the climax with the suit

yeah that line does seem a bit odd out of context but I doubt they'd kill Shuri off just because of problems with Wright. most likely, there's a point in the story where Ramonda mistakenly believes Shuri is dead

A theory I've seen a bunch is that it's a flashback to the Snap. T'Challa got dusted, I don't recall if Shuri's fate was ever stated.

Shuri got one of those grayscale posters when Infinity War came out that all the snapped people got.

I think that remains the only 'confirmation' of it in any media.

The first part of the film is going to have to touch on everything that happened to Wakanda so that seems like a good bet. T'Challa is gone but they were also attacked by Thanos in IW and then probably lost a significant chunk of their soldiers in Endgame as well. I'm assuming Namor attacks partly because Wakanda has been weakened.

She says "Gone", so maybe Shuri has been kidnapped or tun away from the Crown?

Same as Chadwick, name and shame the killer, raise permanent awareness.

It also makes the point that disease can hit anyone at any time and it can be VERY fast, if a Super-hero passes from it.

But I'm sure that'd be considered Ghoulish.
