"Black Panther" Spoiler Review

[@MsTeo91]

Killmonger’s final moments got me when he said he didn’t want to be buried he wanted to be thrown into the ocean with ancestors damn that shit was deeeep

[@JodysCorner]

teedora91 facts! Str8 awesome!

[@shotbynolan1705]

That line was cold af

[@88soulfultone]

"Nah, bury me in the ocean with my ancestors that jumped from the ships. Because they knew death was better than bondage." Almost dropped a tear

[@MsTeo91]

Black Panther spoke to me on so many levels the hurt and pain Kilmonger felt really hit home

[@jossynda]

That was my one issue. The map in the opening sequence showed Wakanda to be somewhere in east Africa. The slaves that came to America came from west Africa.

[@malcolmflex7997]

“Can you believe that? A kid from Oakland walking around believing in fairytales” I fucking lost it. 😭

[@JodysCorner]

Coogler speaking to us!

[@Sunwakka]

I can't relate but the character was so well built that it almost made me cry anyway.

[@gilgandantomega2796]

Patty Smith Not all black people are like that. Keep your simple minded perceptions to yourself.

[@jetman1895]

Killmonger's final words, the best line ever delivered in an MCU film.

[@kalielxp]

That is why, I believe everyone was ready to see this movie. To quote from T Challa's father, "Stand up you are a king now". There are built perceptions of the black culture that people say that's all we are. That is just the tip of the ice, there are more to people than what we think we see. People are like Killmonger, being in a world that doesn't accept you for who you are but have the blood of royalty. Killmonger is what Anakin Skywalker felt to become Darth Vader. Wanting get out of situation and making there world something better, regardless if it wasn't necessarily totally correct way to do it.

[@MadBeastTitan]

Bruh, what Eric said at the end before he died....hit hard.

[@quinceorchard]

It's weird coming from him considering he comes from royalty

[@joromo]

Bros,... I'm so glad to be alive at a time where my childhood comic book inspirations have become a reality. Beautiful movie, beautiful message. As a Latino, it moved me. First "Coco" and now "Black Panther" paying respect to family and ancestry. Awesome time to be a comic book fan.

[@knellsdosa9775]

“Hi Auntie” best quip of the whole film. Had me rollin! lol

[@kexiagundam38]

Knells Dosa, I DIED when he said that. Lol! That, the "vegetarian" line and "What are those?!"

[@RmonTheNewAge]

I think the way they changed Killmonger for the movie worked better for the movie and the narrative. Loved this *F’n* movie bruh!! Keep doing the thing Jody

[@HB-ih9qp]

killmonger represents us black Americans. the lost ones. left behind by our people. I like the dynamics between t'challa and his father and eric and his.

[@SilkyDynamite]

One of the most powerful moments for me was when Erik took the heart-shaped herb and was sent to his "ancestral past". T'Challa's was a beautiful otherworldly savannah full of kings embodied as panther spirits. Erik awoke to a project building. In stark reality. His dad wasn't there... until he was. And then it was still only pain and good intentions. I have to see this like two more times to get all of the symbolism and one-liner "messages" in.

[@oliveriii1473]

Remember they didn't give Killmonger's father a proper burial. Man's soul was probably still stuck in Oakland, smdh... #Killmongerwasright

[@houseofzuma1033]

Kill-monger doesn't represent black real in America .Its a movie does Tony Stark represents the average american??? Kill-monger went to MIT and then joined the military to beat the humanity out of himself scarred his body with kills...jeezzz he is representing Black Americans lolol he is Super intelligent,educated and vindictive.

[@mikejeys2840]

"Burry me in the ocean like my ancestors who jumped off the ships, because they knew dying was better than living in bondage" shit made me cry bruh

[@black64ford]

Michael Jeys that was deep!

[@kexiagundam38]

As soon as he said "ocean," I started tearing up. Very, very powerful. I can't believe Marvel stepped up and did such a great job. Everyone who worked on the movie was great. Wakanda Forever!

[@tegrityfarms2649]

M'Baku was gangster af. EDIT: It was funny when T'Challa brought Ross to Shuri and she said "Why you bringing me another broken white boy" Jab at Bucky 😂😂

[@TwelveK]

T Pimpin She said white boy for real? Lol

[@hen913]

LMAO oh fuck I didn't even pick up on that. I was just laughing at her calling him a white boy.

[@juicyparsons]

M'Baku was FINE af lol

[@wjsjallday]

Who's Bucky

[@takmaps]

Loved M'baku. Bro said, 'I'm kidding we're vegitarian.'

[@danny-yos1737]

takmaps Everett Ross face had me laughing lol

[@benny8600]

All funny moments in black panther 1."I'm kidding were vegetarians 2What are Thossseeee 3.klaue:baby don't hurt me Sad Moments 1.Black panthers death(not really) 2.One of the members of Doramolja DIED 3.W.kabi betrayal Badass moments 1.Eric Killmonger in his suit 2.Black Panther Confronting Eric 3 Final fight 4.Heart Shape urb Do u agree

[@juicyparsons]

you missed my favorite joke- the ghetto kids at the end tryin to sell the spaceship for parts lmao

[@benny8600]

Stefanie B Sorry that I missed that joke

[@houseofzuma1033]

i could love him :P

[@CharTurner6928]

"You scared me Colonizer" 😆😆 i knew from the promos that I would love Shuri.

[@tjtoonz]

"Do not speak or i will feed u to my children! We're vegans" 😂

[@mr.madmanswiss1235]

Michael B. Did his thing best villian by far 😈😈

[@juanzayas7100]

Hey Jody im not Black im Puerto Rican but i got emotional so times in this movie! I absolutely loved this movie and the message it sent! Incredible film!

[@kalielxp]

When you can relate to the characters and the emotions it brings, no shame if you not black. We all have family and we all have those things in the movie that is common. I never learned about the deep pains in every other culture, until I learned it on my own. Now that I understand the frustrations of PR, I feel just as emotional about that struggle. This movie is just good from being a marvel film. But Marvel has told stories from the lower parts of society. That is what sci-fi is for. To talk about real issues without being outright political and being taking down for that viewpoint.

[@Roclemente1]

I'm Puerto Rican also but I proudly identify as a black man as far as race goes and I totally identify with the Killmonger character! I think he touched on every issue that people of color experience world wide.

[@123-u1x8m]

You switch from race to nationality...it not the same thing. Where you come from have many race because you didn't say I am white, I am assuming you are mixed (most Latin American are in fact mix with black or native American plus European).

[@defrocker5774]

Killmonger's character was so great because most African-American males can relate to him and his ideals.

[@Dutch3k5]

Danai Gurira should get a supporting Oscar nom! She absolutely killed it. Literally !

[@CharTurner6928]

Even though she is a genius, Shuri's only a young teen so I think her humor and irreverence was appropriate.

[@darincox6648]

Char Turner I can't wait for Tony Starks to meet her

[@patrickcampbell45]

yup

[@alexanderthegreat5649]

Char Turner Yeah her character is only 16 you're supposed to be live and joyful at that age. Not to get to deep, but I hate when kids can't be kids because they're forced to be adults. She's young she hasn't seen real war and death and gained wisdom of what the world is yet. She's a smart girl who has all the toys she could ever want in that enviroment she has no choice but to be full of jokes and joy who wouldn't be?

[@BoJangles42]

I noticed the lack of blood when Killmonger cut the throat of the Dora Milaje warrior right away too, my guess is it was either the MPAA ratings board or Disney that didn’t allow blood to be shown. Good review, like to hear what other BP readers think of the movie especially with the changes made from the comics.

[@themadafaka6839]

i like all the changes from the comics... Erik's identity...W'Kabi turning on T'Challa...T'Chaka's NOT the holier than thou Mufasa (he's got SERIOUS past sins)...T'Challa's not the all powerful unbeatable guy he is in the comics and cartoons...Nakia not the crazy obsessed girlfriend wannabe...etc. it throws me curve balls...and i like that...keeps the movie from being predictable..at least to me.

[@MentalStillness]

the madafaka Fam in the comics he NEVER beat Kilmonger. Kilmonger owns Tchalla and the only way T'challa survived was by distracting him.

[@youngkrillin2671]

Shuri only joked for like the first half. But when things got serious, she became a product of the tone. She reacted well to T’Challa’s “death” and everything after. Chill on my girl Letitia xfiles

[@asecmimosas4536]

Exactly. Her mourning the death of her brother is not only thematically the lowest point of the film but, for myself, the lowest emotional point I reached in the film. The way the dialogue was written, it could have been very cheesy in a shakespearian way, but the way she delivered it made it feel very impactful. Her performance overall was indisputably compelling.

[@youngkrillin2671]

She played a realistic, relatable 16 year old girl lol. What happens to be a genius

[@CharTurner6928]

Darius Foss absolutely.

[@MadBeastTitan]

Darius Foss that's how I saw it. Not as a jokester

[@BEATSLAPPA]

I agree she was my favorite

[@jstamper1135]

I dont think Wakanda is going to share their vibranium with the rest of the world, but i think they can share some of their tech. For example, they could share their medical technology. Not all of their tech includes vibranium, does it?

[@themadafaka6839]

of course not...they're not stupid. as long as they have a wise ruler, they know sharing vibranium with the outside world would just create chaos and destructions...

[@bizzzzle]

Porblem is their medical tech comes from vibranium...

[@bizzzzle]

like literally every piece of tech they use is from vibranium and she even says this in the movie...

[@poppyraima5342]

Doesn't mean they have to give over the weapons-related technology; they're probably just going to go into medicine and providing various other kinds of aid and resources, while keeping the more dangerous stuff to themselves. (That was the whole point of the lesson learned from Killmonger; having to balance helping the world at large while also not letting everyone know what you're doing -- i.e., selling vibranuim weapons -- or giving them more of a reason to attack you.) Coogler and crew aren't naive enough to write these characters as just suddenly becoming wholesale buddy-buddy with the rest of the world.

[@lavarbradley8816]

J Stamper they’ll most likely do the same thing Stark did...keep the weapons for themselves and produce humanitarian tech for the world

[@tonygoldenthesecond3805]

To call this a superhero movie, does not do it justice. It is a story of a young man becoming a king to take care his great nation. This is the best movie marvel has come out with.

[@randywilliams6248]

The 1st ancestral plane scene made me think the same thing..... Lion King. They need to keep Coogler (however you spell it) around for the live action version. Awesome and emotional scene. I didn't read BP comics so I had no idea about what to expect with this movie but I honestly came out wanting more Claue, I thought Serkis played the part amazingly. I really appreciated the intro scene as well. I had no idea how vibranium came to be and the whole backstory of how things were with the tribes and what not. Definitely top 5 for the marvel movies for me for sure

[@JodysCorner]

we will go in epic detail in tonight's livestream!!!!!! this was a great film!!!! i am ashamed of many other KZbin reviewers for grading this movie the way they have.... embrace this film like any other MCU film!

[@jonathanyara1064]

I think the KZbin reviews are positive Yh it's not perfect but definitely a 9/10

[@TheWarriTiger.]

Yo y’all forgot M’baku

[@MadGenius]

Jody's Corner Bruh they could of save Forrest Whitaker character like they saved Everett Ross

[@TwelveK]

Jody's Corner Wait so Black Panther gets a pass for the film part but as a comic book fan it's a problem? Lol please explain bro

[@haytijr5823]

Jody's Corner There was a moment in the film Boseman looks like the actor that plays the bad drug dealer in "Four brothers" and Dr Strange. When he went back to talk to Tchaka for the second time.

[@jesterssketchbook]

i love how since you know every characters names, you can really break down the plot and interactions

[@chrischo2167]

Night Pasta 😸

[@tajcee]

There are so many levels and nuances to this film that it has to be seen multiple times to take it all in. For instance, the dynamic between T’Challa and Killmonger represents the dichotomy of the Black mentality: lost, fatalistic (Killmonger’s “People die every day” line), and misguided versus T’s optimism, righteousness, and the embodiment of duty/responsibility. AND, to even further the point, Black Panther gives the audience not one but TWO main perceptions of the Black male - the illusion of what others see or think we are versus how we see ourselves. Identity is a major theme that runs through the film and I fucking LOVED how both characters were running parallel, and at the same time, reflect each other: two different spectrums, but still Brothers, at the end of the day... Fuck, I gotta see this film again.

[@ToozeyXD]

Fantastic review love to see people who know what they are on about can see you've put so much time into this franchise over years and years through the comics great to see you two enjoy it on the big screen and offer a strong insight into differences and similarities

[@Bdaychick]

Okoye was my favorite character too!!! Every scene she was in she stole! Black Panther was so profound and imaginative! A completely different perspective and approach in the MCU in the BEST possible way!!!

[@carlepps6604]

When Killmonger said I saw my daddy with claw wounds I almost weep on the spot! Best Villian

[@KofisUniverse]

Great review! I can't get this movie out of my mind.

[@JodysCorner]

Kofi Ntonni me too bro! Seeing it again with the family! Loved meet you G!

[@yumnaamir742]

Damn your review is informative and now I really wanna see this film!!! Knowing the differences from comic and film so it's great to know stuff you liked or didn't like to see. I hope that after the success of Black Panter the second film will be even better!! Wish we'd see more of Killsmonger though...

[@JodysCorner]

Yumna Amir thanks!

[@kalielxp]

Does anyone thinks Black Panther is like the MCU version of Roots. Instead of a slavery story its a story of a nation and it's people and when it's people come back to it's root. Also, even in an advanced civilization, people are vulnerable to traditions and old ideas. It's the basic concept of Star Trek addressing these issues of thinking. Vulcan's couldn't help out Earth, until they get to that point in their advancement to be unified without bigotry. I can see why Wakanda never wanted to let primitive thinking get their power.

[@tashauncarter2349]

A lot of changes to the characters from the comic book, "but it doesn't take away from the epicness..." 100% agree but your Superman video thooo...

[@shawntillis8981]

Ask me who i am. Hey auntie and the last quote about bondage man Michael B Jordan killed this role

[@tiffanydavidson9521]

Shawn Foe best thing in 2018

[@rashadjones]

This movie was sooooooo Black!! People on KZbin are trying to low-key hate on this. They don't understand what this means to us. They can't recognize the subtleties and complexity of Black culture in America and Africa. CGI fight wasn't the greatest at the end, but overall amazing movie. Mad people are trying to say Chadwick was too cool in the movie (he's royalty, duh). Michael B. Jordan played the role of a lifetime. Straight 🔥🔥🔥💪🏾✊🏾. Awesome movie! The main reason we love Killmonger is because he speaks to our frustrations as African Americans. So much 🔥🔥🔥

[@houseofzuma1033]

Kill-monger doesn't represent black real in America .Its a movie does Tony Stark represents the average american??? Kill-monger went to MIT and then joined the military to beat the humanity out of himself scarred his body with kills...jeezzz he is representing Black Americans lolol he is Super intelligent,educated and vindictive.

[@rashadjones]

House of Zuma smh. Where did I say "represents"? Reread and recomprehend...

[@houseofzuma1033]

"this movie was so black" what does that even mean...IT takes place in an isolationist African country...lol "The main reason we love Killmonger is because he speaks to our frustrations as African Americans" suggesting he represents Black Americans...YOU PEOPLE ARE NOT AFRICAN ANYTHING...accept who you are which is a Brown skinned American. As i said Killmonger is super-intelligent,educated and very vindictive. IS THIS REALLY WHO YOU ARE AND HOW YOU FEEL?..check your own stats brown students drop of the end for no other reason than themselves. Can't study/won't study school is too hard lets throw balls around. Apparently because the police shot 15 Black people in a yr rather than looking at the 1000s of shootings that happen between Black Americans every yr. And you feel frustrated WHY AND HOW? I am sorry but colour is irrelevant ,if you go to ANY AFRICAN country ..you would realize how irrelevant you and your skin tone ARE. Also do Black Americans need these kind of role models to look like they do??? REALLY??? Growing up my heroes were Newton,Max Planck and Einstein ..None of whom i look like. Subtleties of being black lololol like what?? eating,drinking,shitting,getting married,babies and culture.. WOW so UNIQUE.......lol AGAIN if you knew anything about Africa you would realize you wouldn't be accepted there LIKE Caucasians you would be tolerated even pitied . also go take a biology lesson melanin is only skin deep.

[@rashadjones]

House of Zuma ahahahaaaaa! I'm sorry you're mad about my opinions. TL;DR.

[@InDaZone]

Rian Johnson and Kathleen Kennedy could learn something from The Black Panther. 1 - How to make political/social statements that are deep and hit viewers hard. A couple lines at the end really made me reflect on American history... like the death/bondage line. Somehow I think this movie helped me understand how black Americans may feel. 2 - How to make strong bad ass female characters that are believable. Nakia and Okoye were great characters. I think I enjoyed Okoye better than the Black Panther. Her fight scene in Korea kicked ass. 3 - How to make a good villain with powerful motives. Killmonger is one of the best villains I’ve seen since....? At the end of the movie I actually had sympathy for him! I really wanted T’Challa to apologize to him for what happened. LOL! Great movie! Watch and learn Rian Johnson.

[@sleepymv611]

That bitch won't learn. She's too arrogant. But don't worry her day is coming. She'll get herself fired eventually and they'll spin it by saying she's "stepping down"

[@magnanimousknight1162]

I like Black Panther. I felt like the politics were relevant to the story.

[@TheReelHeel]

I wanted T’Challa to be more of a savage. Doesn’t have to be killing fools left and right (even though that would be tight 😏) but his attitude could’ve been more stricter. Also Jody, they should’ve done that 24 hour fight scene where they fight till one of them give in like you said on the livestream. This is definitely going in the blu ray collection. EDIT: I knew you would love Okoye!!! She's like Brienne from GOT, honourable no matter what.

[@JodysCorner]

The Reel Heel yeah man..... I think that is perfect for the sequel. The 24 hour fight was the 3rd time they fought in the comics anyway.

[@TheReelHeel]

I've been saying in the discord that the sequel is going to be amazing, I hope they do that. Keep mentioning it on your live streams because we all know higher ups watch your shit.

[@JodysCorner]

facts!

[@jeffmachem2702]

I think that T'Challa being a little funnier and light-hearted as a character was intentional. Not saying it is comic accurate to have him cracking jokes (Black Panther has always been a very stoic, reserved character) I would argue that it was meant to show what T'Challa is like in sort of everyday situations. During the Civil War film, when audiences first meet Black Panther, he is grim and angry because he is totally griefstricken, in mourning and almost in shock from the death of his father. I think Coogler wanted to remind us that 1) T'Challa has other people/responsibilities to live for and 2) I believe that the jokes and light-hearted nature of T'Challa in BP highlights just how angry and revenge-driven he was in Civil War. We saw Black Panther on the warpath in Civil War, in BP we see him when has a clear head and is at peace with his father's death.

[@houseofzuma1033]

ahhh T'Challa is a CROWNED PRINCE ..think abit

[@powerspyin1games]

Hi Auntie had me rolling lol

[@steevepierre-louis9418]

This was an interesting review from the comic book's fan perspective. Of course the movie had to change things to tell a coherent story that would fit in 2 hours. And I like how Shuri was done also for one reason: If T'Challa had all the smarts, skills, and titles, he would be too much. too perfect. To humanize him a bit, they gave his little sister some of his talents in the comics. I would love to see that he's still smart though, maybe chipping in once in a while and adding his own ideas to Shuri's inventions. Note: you meant they did a 180; they 180'd killmonger. 360 is a full circle, so he would've been the exact same if they 360'd him haha

[@BIGSAM-O-A]

You guys are on point with this review. Brilliant review

[@christhenerdfreak9167]

I missed the beginning of the movie last night because of a huge traffic where I’m from. I was pissed off that I miss introduction but the movie was this a masterpiece, to me in my opinion it’s one of the Top 10 Marvel movies I ever seen.

[@Itskingnick94]

Love the video Jody & Xfiles ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾 Just saw Black Panther it was amazing!!! Best origin story for this character all the actors and visuals were on point !!! Can’t wait to revisit Wakanda. But Jody there’s a Prelude out on the Black Panther talks about In 2008 when iron man came out to the public T Challa was black Panther n T Chaka was king 👑 and had sent T Challa n Okoya on a mission when they were young in the MCU.

[@topdogg2k8]

I think your knowledge of the comics characters actually hinders your enjoyment of some of the characters. The mcu has very loosely been based on the comics From the very start. Iron man and right all through. So I think focusing on the difference would take away from what the MCU and the movies are trying to achieve. The movie should be reviewed on its own. Good work though.

[@supoa9489]

topdogg2k8 It depends sometimes helps you know we're the characters are coming from, it's because Marvel bad habit of occasionally changing unnecessary stuff. It being watered or dumb down.

[@JodysCorner]

it didnt hinder my judgment. i know how to separate comics and film. I gave the film an A+ bruh....

[@topdogg2k8]

Jody's Corner it definitely felt like it did. Not saying you hated on the movie but throughout your video your compare nearly every single piece of the movie to the comics. Its not an adaptation of the comics. The MCU has always just used the comics as a source but not a comic to screen adaptation so many things would be different. You compared pretty much every single character to their conic equivalent. Which I didn't think was necessary. Just watch the film itself and review as what it is. It felt like your review was to see how close to the comics the movie was. Still a fan of your work but this is all I got from this video. Keep up the great work.

[@ryanmorrow5393]

Writers and directors will deviate from the comics to create their own stories and express their own ideas while still maintaining comic book similarities. So with all things considered, I feel that it's okay for the movies to be somewhat different than the comics. They pretty much have been up to this point.

[@jstamper1135]

I dont read comic books, but after watching your guy's spoiler review, it seems like this movie strayed really far from the comic book story line. But i can tell you as an outsider, and not knowing the comic books, that its still a great movie.

[@hasiynafall1668]

Just got out ....beautiful just beautiful. ..

[@tjfassler1754]

I really enjoyed it and loved Michael B. Jordan as Killmonger, but ultimately he didn't really do much bad. He racked up kills in the line of service, he killed Klaue, a bad guy, his civil was stopped pretty quickly, and his deportation of weapons never made it. The only things of relevance he did were destroying the plants (if there are no more) and killing Forest Whitaker's character.

[@ProperCh]

Bruh this film was EPIC. I knew Coogler was gonna kill it but he absolutely smashed it with this one. The biggest positive of the film and why i think that yall are so proud of it is the way they showed African culture. That shit had Lion King all up in there bruh, EPIC. The scenes of the landscape with the score playing were freakin amazing. The heirarchy of the tribes, the sacred rituals. Coogler built a complex Wakanda from ground up man, props to him. Not only that but the story was truly a cut above the rest, i wouldnt say it was on Nolans level but it got into its shadow man. So many themes and issues were explored in this film man. The rite of passage for T'Challa to the throne, what it means to be king, the power and consequences of secrecy, political power plays, a heroes journey, doing the right thing, etc. etc. Coogler understood the magnitude of Wakanda and what it means for the MCU and dealt with it so freakin well. Vibranium and Wakandan tech changes the whole game bruh and Coogler knew that, i was very satisfied with the outcome of the film man. I know some die-hard fans will be like "T'Challa aint never share his technology" but in the context of the story and the MCU it makes the most sense man. Also hes not really sharing it, hes more saying "we have this power and we will distribute it to the world but im still the King around here" thats why the dude at the end of the post-cred questioned him like "what will you give us?". The most epic and impactful sht for me had to have been the trial by combat. I could watch that all day man, the one between Killmonger and T'Challa blew my freakin mind. Killmonger was an A++ Savage bruh, the most motivated and savage MCU villain to date. Thanos will have to be on point to match Killmongers savagery bruh. Dude was fading people left and right without a seconds hesitation, fuhhh. He came straight up in there, no time wasted and executed his plan to the best of his ability. This film hit hella emotional notes too man, seeing the son come into his own and realise that his dad was wrong and that he must find his own way now that hes king. "YOU WERE WRONG BABA, HOW COULD YOU LEAVE HIM" I teared up once and cried once in this film and that shit did it man. Seeing T'Challa realise that his daddy wasnt always right as king killed me man. As for the negatives, there are some but they don't ruin the movie. The CGI was noticably bad at times like T'Challas second time in the dream world and at the end fight. Ullysses Klaw was wasted imo, he was good for his role but got killed off too quickly. Also I would have loved to see Killmonger live as an anti-hero, he was just such an amazing character but what he said at the end was some real sht, respect to him for that. Finally i didn't like how the final fight between T'Challa and Killmonger went down, the choreo and CGI were sloppy to me and it was a bit anti-climactic. I would have loved for the fight to be out in the public battlefield and at the end T'Challa kills Killmonger and makes a speech about how they can't hide any longer and use Killmonger as an example of why they need to take responsibility. Oh and one more thing i would have loved another Lion King moment with T'Challa in his full suit and all his people bowing to him and truly accepting him as the new king, maybe that would come in Black Panther 2 or after Infinity War. Anyways like i said some of the negatives are nitpicks but for the most part, the movie was excellent. I give it an A-

[@MarleyMarr2008]

You have to treat the MCU as a separate Universe from the main Marvel comic book universe. Yes it is derivative from the comic books but it's impossible for everything to be exactly like the comic. What works in the comic books don't work on screen and for storytelling purposes they have to change things in order for it to be streamlined and make sense for audience that hasn't read 50 + years of comics. So I agree with a lot of what Jody is saying you can acknowledge the differences from the comic books but if it works in the film that's the most important thing.

[@crossbones13]

I saw the movie tonight at it was a great film. The weaknesses I see in it are the not quite on the par CGI part in certain sections, the blurry action scene at the beginning of the movie and the changing of M'Baku (the Man-Ape) from a adversary of the Black Panther to an ally. Other than those, this movie delivered on everything it was supposed to. I plan on seeing it again next weekend.

[@ivagarfitt]

I've seen the movie last night with my boys and couldn't wait to see your comments! LOVE IT! Thank you guys! This film is EPIC!

[@rogerstreet6328]

Movie gave me life....Killmonger....Tchilla....Movie was Amazing

[@mikejeys2840]

I don't know if y'all know but the reason Forest is in this film is because he's the one who put Ryan Koogler in the game, Forests production company produced fruit ville station Ryan has a lot of respect and love for Forest so that's why he's in this movie.

[@magmovies9323]

Yes, this is what I been waiting for! Like I said, I don't know jack shit about the comics and it seems there's been a lot of minor and major changes to characters. But I'm glad you guys could still appreciate the movie even with the differences. Great review.

[@LeoMakar1]

Amazing review. I subscribed to this channel off of this review alone. Thanks for the comparison of the comics and film. I don't read the comics. Always watched the cartoons growing up. I hope this film will motivate marvel to give BP a solo animated show. So we can follow all of these characters.

In the comics, Killmonger is enhanced by the heart shaped herb. It's just not the complete fruit, they made a synthetic version. And he's enhanced by the same synthetic herb as White Wolf and White Tiger (Who I hope, at least one of them, is in the sequel)..

[@aprillechalisse]

I knew a lot about the history in this movie, as well, like the IsiXhosa language. And, the dress and accessories of the different tribes. I love that you loved the movie but, can also see their flaws. I love the fact that this movie bought us together as a people But I knew some of the context felt wrong and now i know why. Awesome review.

[@foxlikessapphics]

i just got back and i can't get it out of my mind! it was so fantastic! i'm so glad that i'm not the only one who saw the parallels with the lion king (i feel like that had to have been a little intentional since it is a disney movie and all, but i absolutely loved it). i also really appreciate how you can distinguish between the best character and your personal favorite. i always do that too like i can separate my favorite vs. what was objectively the best from a critical standpoint. shuri was my absolute favorite. this is the first marvel film that i'm gonna go back and see again.

[@BushidoBrownSama]

Nakia isn't from Kenya in the movie that was just the cover she used when dealing with the South Korean woman who controls the entrance to the secret underground casino

[@JTtheMid]

I think the ending implied that T'Challa was going to lend assistance to those in need in the world, not the vibranium itself. Just services, not goods

[@Grandkaiser]

Hey guys great in depth review of the movie really like it…………However you forgot about M’baku and his awesome introduction to the movie, his humour and not to forget how he turn the tide at the end battle scene which was epic.

[@hamhockbeans]

Infinity Wars will change alot of things in the MCU don' t worry about Wakanda being exposed to the world. The World will have to deal with Thanos.

[@timothy8766]

I know the director is from Oakland ,so that's way he changed killmonger being from Harlem to Oakland,but I like that kill Monger being from Harlem ,also they added he was special secret Ops Black Ops that's new.

[@RYANLIL792]

Great review, I give the movie 10/10.. You guys really taught me alot about what happened in the comics and how it relates to the movie.. Shuri did need to be more cut throat though... You guys expressed how the movie was definitely black excellence at its finest.

[@mateovazquez5658]

The final fight could've been longer. It was epic they way everyone was showing their strengths and skills, but that was supposed to be the BIG conflict. The fights between the two in the comics are bloody and intense. Yeah they had Vibranium suits, but if the destabilizes on the track were deactivating their suits, they both could've gotten in some scratches on each other. Still a pretty damn good fight and film. A+ from me.

[@alexanderthegreat5649]

2 things Jody Joe. 1. Ryan Coogler said they didn't pull from just 1, but all versions of Panther so different fans will get different feels like you got Reggie but others got someone else. That's cool how they did it nicely though to where no one was really disappointed they couldn't pin him down as 1 iteration. 2. I think Disney most certainly put all the $ behind this it was a $200M budget that's on par with Avengers, IM2. Only other 1st film with a budget bigger was Guardians the budget usually doesn't get that big for solo films at all only reason Civil War got that high is because it was Avengers 2.5. It just won't always be perfect look at Last Jedi you know it had the $ behind it and EVERYONE noticed the terrible parts of CGI. I honestly only noticed it with the Rhinos in Panther. In any case I hope Ryan is coming back for 2 and maybe his CGI skills improve.

[@CrimsonX25]

As a Black Panther Fan I have to say this movie exceeded my expectations. I just read "A Nation Under Our Feet" for the 6th time and "Killmongers Rage" again so I was primed and ready. Keep it 100... it used to be tough to have a deep comic book knowledge and see the differences of the movie adaptations but if the movie can make sense out of the changes, I'm with it. Especially since film directors have far more barriers to hurdle to tell the story. This movie from a production standpoint was based on two constant ingredients. Pride & Respect ....now I'll just wait for T'Challa, Dr. Strange, and Tony Stark to share a room so the MCU version of the Illuminati can develop.

[@praveenramesh9134]

Bro that black panther hat is awesome👌🏻✌🏻

[@shawntillis8981]

The jokes hit for me beecause they were so far apart and added levity to the movie. And i feel you Jo i cried twice and it was one period where i felt like i was smiling for 30 mins straight. Great film

[@redserventx922]

SPOILERS WARRING one of the major themes i love about this film was the father and the son theme. you really see it with the scenes with black panther and killmonger when they were in the spirit world.

[@mandelharvey3429]

Kilmonger was Kennedy his father was Malcolm x and Forest Whitaker was Martin Luther king. Lupita is every leader that didn't get killed and black panther is Lynden Johnson getting some version of their vision in the civil rights act.

[@Maam3Bonsu]

I loved the storyline in this movie. One of my favorite characters was M’baku. I hope for the next BP they will show his character and tribe more.

[@ramoncarter3121]

awsome review! this is a top3 film in the MCU and may be the best solo feature in the MCU!

[@oneshadowlove]

She's 16 Shuri... using technology is more her speed for the movie than combat. I love what they did to her because she makes the humanity come out in the movie.

[@brandonwhite6629]

Love this review, very informative

[@wutdadeal3]

As for as Nakia is concerned, remember Marvel didn't have access to all their characters. But that may change due to the Disney and Fox deal.

[@jonathanwilcox7876]

Yo bro I agree with everything but they had to change it up everyone is not a comic book reader so gotta make where ppl understand great review fellas

[@shangotaplan]

Good job

[@X4ert]

29:05 lmbo!! I'm rolling! Great review guys

[@wholelottastairway8]

has access to powerful vibranium technology, wants her to use her hands to fight someone with a vibranium suit. what

[@wholelottastairway8]

and if you make black panther the smartest, it honestly makes him less interesting, at least for me. like what else isnt he already the best at, or amazing at. let someone else be better than him to put him dow a notch and more relatable instead of cardboard

[@JMac7395]

Black Panther will be the 1st movie to be shown in Saudia Arabia in 35 yrs on April 18th. Apparently a ban was lifted in December 2017 that will allow the public of Saudi Arabia to watch movies. AMC will be the 1st movie theater chain to open there also. Why do you think they chose Black Panther to be their 1st movie in decades??

[@martinblake2278]

Truly a great film and a must watch IMHO. Fight scene-wise it's not as crisp as The Winter Soldier and the CGI kinda take you off at times. But on the narrative side it is a superb film and on par with the original Guardians Of The Galaxy story-wise. Easily within the top 5 best MCU movies ever and a great example on how superhero films can be more narrative and deliver a meaningful message. I loved Shuri and want to see more of her. Okoye is another badass that I would love to see more in the future. Killmonger is one of the best Marvel movie/tv villains joining the ranks of Loki, Kilgrave, and Kingpin. I would love Ryan C to return for part 2, but if he doesn't, Marvel should hire a director that can bring more flare to the action side. T'Challa is one of the best hand to hand combatants and tactician in the Marvel Universe and would love a better one-on-one fight scenes in the future. Disappointed too that Killmonger's martial art skills weren't that pronounced in this movie.

[@PlanetXoj]

Its crazy cuz, Shuri wasn’t just my favorite character, but Chadwick said Shuri was his favorite character.

[@juicyparsons]

when T'Chaka killed his brother it had me feelin some type a way like how they did Luke in the Last Jedi

[@daveboytellem]

I’m actually glad I didn’t read the comics, cos I would’ve given the movie like a 7/10 instead instead of a 10/10 due to the changes lol. I loved this movie

[@topdogg2k8]

David Yvan exactly. The knowledge of the comics actually hinders your enjoyment of the movie.

[@daveboytellem]

topdogg2k8 that’s very true

[@phoenixjackson2847]

Agreed 100%

[@supoa9489]

David Yvan It's a double edged sword you get the references and catch on things but on other certain changes will annoy you

[@popeyeschicken3535]

Supo A Exactly Why I think people are gonna bash Infinty war like crazy. So many Marvel fans are gonna nit pick that movie like no tomorrow

[@jonasbrothersrockist]

My sister and I went to saw Black Panther movie on February 19th(my b-day). The Rhinos are like triceratop dinosaurs from Jurassic Park/World when they wore armors, it's like a Jurassic Park/World scene that those Rhinos attacked good and evil people! LOL. And that other scene is like Star Wars!

[@marcuspowell7042]

This channel is LIT to the TIIIIP!!!

[@kant12]

Shuri is the best. Taking one thing from T'Challa is fine. You don't want him the best at everything.

[@tyiera2339]

I LOVED the movie I’m going again tonight so I’ll miss some of the live stream😔 I left this movie feeling proud and seeing black women in this film looking so beautiful and strong almost had me in tears...being a film lover I wish I had more of that when I was younger.

[@brandonwhite6629]

As soon as I saw this was spoiler free I went straight to the cinema to watch Black Panther

[@aligaines8476]

Question re: sharing technology Is it possible he meant medical, farming only?... Since they think farming is all they have, he could throw medical at them. I can't see him exposing Wakanda at all... But if he had to give something, I think it would be farming and a tad of medical to see how they acted with that. BUT ONLY if they were still shielded.

[@poppyraima5342]

Exactly how I read that; no version of T'Challa (at least that I'm aware of) is naive enough to just wholesale start trusting other countries, especially other world superpowers. There's plenty of benign, genuinely beneficial technology and other scientific advancements that could come about by Wakanda expanding its role in the world in those fields. What you're ultimately looking at is an African country that actually benefits off of the resources it exports as opposed to just being exploited, and seeing that sort of autonomy is probably one of the most understated and empowering images in the whole thing.

[@JJTheSubwayGuy]

I still can't believe how good the movie was, like I knew it'd be amazing but I loved everything about the movie, Michael B Jordan stole the fricken show for me

[@alexanderthegreat5649]

Also is T'Chaka technically a "murderer"? He didn't kill him in cold blood he was going to bring him back, but he pulled a gun. I don't see it as "murder". I think they wanted to build lupita towards the Dora remember the end shuri gave her the fit and she's like "I'm not dora" it's Origin you don't want them to be 100% what they're gonna be then there's no where for them to go in the next.

[@jacylinear4264]

He didn’t say he was going to share “ALL” his secrets!!!

[@williedixon1990]

Love yall reviews but i dont like comparing the comics so closely because the MCU is part of a different earth than that just like its multiple black panthers and batmans. Im glad they went different from the comics to create something original

[@WorldwideJamal]

Shuri was a beast. You see that tech.

[@Blackblax]

A lot of ppl like Killmonger because he's the only main villain the MCU had who was "hood". I liked him because he not only stood a chance of beating BP, but actually did so--in a fair fight. Plus he had a legtimate point, & challenged BP physically, mentally & philospohically. I'm sure the comics will retcon T'Challa & Killmonger being related to suit the MCU (hopefully they'll make Quicksilver & Scarlet Witch the twins of Magneto again). I agree the Queen Mother should've done a little more in the movie. She should've been the one who not only made the elixir but also stole the heart-shaped herb. And should've had at least a quick fight scene (maybe briefly beating up Agent Ross, before Nakia stopped her). Shuri was made to be kind of like RiRi Williams, who's potentially smarter than Stark (considering she's a kid). And the movie clearly stated that she improved upon the suit BP made. I actually like her being smarter, because it gives her an advantage over BP. BP's still smart, but Shuri's smarter & can be used in situtations where BP was busy. Klaw was a waste, since Avengers 2. I didn't like his zaniness, which was turned up to rediciouslness in BP. The best thing is that Storm could be in a BP sequel, since Disney/Marvel got the X-movie rights back.

[@m9eleven]

Y’all just gon leave out M’baku!?!?! He was dope in this film

[@JodysCorner]

tune in tonight for the livestream. we will go in depth!
