i actually like the concept of black panther being just like a comic world based on all kind of crazy black people stuff. that's fuckin awesome but enough with the super hero movies

I'm at the legitimate point where I think my feeling is "Marvel, you keep on doing your thing until Infinity War pt 2 then we'll see. Everyone else, please loving stop. Just loving stop."

The Marvel stuff (aside from the previously Fox duds) is always at least entertaining and if you compare it to every single other major shared universe holy poo poo they remain so far ahead of the curve it's like a Model-T versus a jet powered drag car.

ED: Actually more accurately I might say everyone was in such a hurry to catch up they all blew their engines, in the analogy

Thanks to the "magic metal" the spears do some cool poo poo. There's one moment during a car chase that is boss. She throws the spear through the rear window of a speeding car, through the windshield, lands on the street in front of the car, and she "activates" it so that it acts as a barrier which crushes the front half of said car and stops it.
That sounds incredibly pedestrian and unoriginal wtf

It doesn't play as such, but yeah sure w/e.
lmfao this is a more accurate criticism than anything anyone has said in this thread yet. He does miss the point of the villain and some key lines that dismiss the idea of why "kill whitey take over" is a bad idea for everyone, but w/e it's meant to be a tempting ideology. If anything this movie is about the burden of being a "model minority" and having to not only be as good as the best of the rest of the class, but better in the hope of reach post-racial equality.

Yo - quick question

is the music throughout the movie bumpin' like in the trailer?

I only have a Vizio tv with no sound system, so seeing a good movie in a theater is amplified if the music and sound f/x really utilize the sound system
It's mostly orchestral-style themes, some of which are good and some of which are bland, but all are distinctly afro-inspired. There are a few contemporary songs from The Weeknd and PSY, and the villain's theme uses that phenomenal baseline from that Run the Jewels song they used in the trailer. The bottom line-- yes it's pretty bumpin', but you're not going to want to go out and buy the soundtrack either.

I did see it in one of those Dolby theaters that isn't 3D but uses a really :krad: sound system. I would recommend that. The villain's theme sounded loving awesome with that level of bass.

Part of the Disney-friendly toy schtick is that none of the Wakandans use traditional bullets and prefer melee weapons that have long-range options.

Like I get how loads of people are going to want the spear-throwing thing to be a big deal but tbh I don't think it plays as problematic in context. There's no way the filmmakers weren't aware of what they were doing, and the spears used feel at worst like the laziest workaround for a laser gun and at best like the reclamation of the stereotype.

How much of this movie was fight scenes that consist of the protagonists fighting off multitudes of generic CGI baddies? I need to know because I'm so tired of the 'hero vs thousands of CGI combatants' that I'm falling asleep during the fight scenes. Iron Man and War Machine vs the whole bunch of robots. Avengers vs Ultron clones. Guardians vs the gold pricks in their space fighter pods etc etc etc basically when these fights start I tune out until the sound effects stop.

Point on the last bit. Even so there have been black Avengers... the uh.... ok the black "best friends" of Captain America and Iron Man. Yeah I love those characters in their own rights (Falcon is just cool) but there's no denying they started out as the black best friends and can never truly shake that. In the next Avengers they're going to visit Wakanda and Black Panther and most of the cast of this movie are going to help fight aliens though, so there is that I guess.

About 10% or so in the third act, but they're various tribes of Wakanda fighting :ssh:. It's better than your average Marvel movie but it was the only part where I tuned poo poo out because yeah I'm sick of that Power Rangers Putty Patrol poo poo too.

Yeah, that was my takeaway as well. Movie was a lot of fun and the characters were pretty well developed by the end, which is more and more of a rarity. But the tech in Wakanda is so advanced, it just raises so many questions on what is the way forward now that we've established this.

Is this one of those movies where white kids are going to be walking out and saying “nigga nigga nigga” to their friends? Or does it challenge middle American views about African ancestry and empowerment? Or is it just a black dude scratching people’s faces with his nails?
