Did you like Black Panther? Where would you rate it with other Marvel movies?

[@dezloeppky]

Channel Awesome before I watch this review is there spoilers in this review? Because I haven't seen the movie yet,# u guys are amazing! I love what u do!!!!

[@undergrounder]

The third act was just a cat fight, I agree with Nostalgia.

[@Megaproductions302]

Channel Awesome definitely the best MCU so far

[@Nay089]

Top 3 Marvel movies if we're not counting FOX/Sony films

[@shadow80y]

It's in my top four, on par with the Captain America sequels and the first Avengers.

[@charlesforte4968]

I personally really enjoyed the film. For me, the relationship between Killmonger and T’Challa is the best part. I love it when a villain reflects the heroes own beliefs. Killmonger is driven to do what he does to prevent anyone else from having to live with the pain of having their family murdered. The exact same motive as T’Challa in Civil War. The difference lies in execution. While T’Challa shows restraint and reasoning, Killmonger wants to strike first. But the end goal is the same. His death (spoiler) and the events following acknowledge it. The film hits a very somber note allowing them to stop fighting and simply talk. T’Challa shows him the beauty in the world while he lived his whole life believing it is in darkness. He then chooses to reveal Wakanda’s advancements to the world. While Killmonger would’ve done it with a show of force, T’Challa does it with reason, focusing on all applications (medicine, tech, etc). They parallel each other in near every aspect. That made this film better than great for me. 10/10 would see again.

[@nenshoufox]

Charles Forte Right? He’s not just a guy with similar powers to the main hero like in the other movies. No, he’s a man who’s a darker reflection of the hero. Someone who carries similar beliefs that the hero agrees with himself and the conflict between the two really carries the movie! The fight in the cave does a great job to symbolize this as well!

[@samo.8982]

Charles Forte Great observation

[@uscman]

Best MCU villain. My favorite MCU villains are, as of now: Loki, Alexander Pierce, Zemo, Ego, Vulture, Hela, And now Killmonger

[@Rainbowthewindsage]

Sometimes showing how a hero and a villian makes similar but different choices highlights what ultimately makes the hero the hero and the villain the villian.

[@grantlauzon5237]

In the credits Stan Lee’s character is named “Thirsty Gambler”

[@uscman]

Grant Lauzon lol.

[@proteus2103]

That was the best Stan Lee cameo in all of films.

[@carlotta4th]

I liked the underground cave specifically because it wasn't epic. The guy had said earlier when he challenged the king that "I don't need the whole country to be there, just me and him" and that's the battle they got in the end. Just the two of them.

[@revy9674]

Yes plus it happened in the “ heart” of Wakanda where the vibranium is, that shapes wakanda and could change the world. Fighting there was a nice location for me . Sorry about what I’m sure is wrong spelling .

[@McSuperfly101]

I just wish it had been a bit more interesting visually. The movie is set in a country with some of the most strikingly beautiful environments on earth but as soon as they fell in that hole I just thought to myself, "oh great, the climax is just going to be in front of a bunch of greenscreen generated backdrops".

[@IKIGAIofficial]

But i was expecting a battle. Not a ps2 era cgi cutscene.

[@chriskelly5823]

carlotta4th spot on

[@nateputerbaugh5709]

carlotta4th I think that was Rob's point of the budget didn't match the vision. Thematically it's a great fight, but man that CGI is just awful.

[@thomasgrindol9124]

Marvel is trying a lot harder with their villains.

[@ReelNinja1]

Thomas Grindol yes. All I kept thinking is Marvel is definitely stepping it up with their villains

[@jp3813]

They're now well ahead of everybody else when it comes to supervillains.

[@michaelbirkinshaw524]

Thomas Grindol I think phase 3 has the best marvel villains so far zemo,ego the living planet, the vulture, hella, killmonger marvel has really been trying to give USA good compelling villains yeah they have sliped up here or their like with the doctor strange villain who's name I can't spell....let's just hope thanos lives up to the build up and can be added to the list of good villains

[@cancerstinks1]

Michael Birkinshaw I agree with everything except Zemo. His motivations were good but he was barely in his own movie

[@michaelbirkinshaw524]

Thomas Molina I liked zemos back story and motivation and I find him kinda sympathetic I wish he had more screen time in the movie that is an issue but considering they didn't kill him in the movie tells me they still have plans for this character..he may be lacking in this movie but I see un taped potential in this character if they do keep him around...he could fit either in a black painter movie or a future captain america movie since those 2 characters have un finished business with bucky as cap if Chris Evans is done.

[@TheRibottoStudios]

Let's hold a moment of silence for that Pink Panther intro....

[@bigfatcarp93]

Don't be so dismissed.

[@GinKoSenseiorKuro]

God, that joke was so cringey

[@tonys9796]

TheMKatStudio I'm lost...

[@MikePine.]

What a horrible and boring intro

[@TheRibottoStudios]

HA!

[@sensibleGamer]

*POST CREDIT SCENE SPOILERS* ... ... ... There was some fan speculation recently (was also brought up in those Texts From Superheroes" comics) that if Cap wakes up Bucky for the SOLE purpose of joining in the battle against Thanos then he's basically just using Bucky the same way the Russians had been; waking him when they need him to kill Establishing that he's already awake and recovering BEFORE Infinity War means that it's specifically going to be his choice to join the battle

[@h0ll0w0ne]

I had not seen it that way and I was annoyed that it felt like a recycling of Civil Wars post credit scene. Thank you for this much better perspective :)

[@RacingSnails64]

hell yeah

[@Beacuzz]

I love that. Just having him already there and obviously on the path to healing makes me so much more hopeful for Infinity War.

[@nieznajomy4398]

I wanted to scream in the theater when I heard that

[@HalfDemonInuyasha]

"Did he freeze?" "Like an antelope in headlights."

[@Talatharas]

There was plenty of comedy in the movie. Quite of a few times that our entire theatre broke out laughing. But the drama, behind the comedy was there.. the comedy 'didnt' have to carry.. it was.. a flavor..used to further the story, not 'be' the story.

[@neomcdoom]

Unlike Thor:Ragrnnanrrrran. Although that was a good movie too. Hhhahahhh

[@hchappy125]

The comedy was like the weakest point of this film tbh. "WHAT ARE THOOOOOSE???" HAHA le epic lol

[@masonhenderson0221]

I was just telling my dad, one of my favorite things about Killmonger is that you can't necessarily relate to him, but you can sympathize with him. That's huge. Making your villain sympathetic (same with Keaton) makes them more interesting.

[@megamage911]

Exactly my thoughts as well. I agree with his sentiment, that he wants to help the less fortunate (in this case specifically black people living in slums) I just don't agree wit his way of going about it xD The best thing honestly is that at a base level, Killmonger and T'Chala's goals are the exact same, just different methods.

[@tribeofephraim5801]

Mason Henderson I don't agree with that statement

[@victorm152]

I would've gone with a Lion King style intro: NAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA THIS MOVIE ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOCKS, MARVEL'S DONE IT AGAIN!!!!

[@JaxBlade]

Just saw it today. I didn't let myself get overhyped for this film like I did with Spider-man 2 (2004) & Wonder Woman which a lot of people loved but I was meh on tbh and I wasnt in the mindset of mehness like when I saw Justice League. I was just looking forward to a decent film and Like I thought it was gonna be ,it was a good movie. Nothing MIND BLOWINGLY Spectacular like some are making it out to be but still quite an enjoyable watch. Enjoyable film Highly recommend.

[@timeyinsholaye9169]

I thought it was mind blowing and spectacular especially coming from marvel

[@Ramidemi710]

Pffff, another Marvel superhero movie, just this time they gotta cram some more politics into it. Not interested.

[@toontrooper4103]

JaxBlade It was just as good as (most of) the other Marvel movies. One liners and people being badass. Nothing amazing but it was still entertaining.

[@timeyinsholaye9169]

some more politics? It is a film about a politican you snowflake, not heavy handed about it, and the REVIEW tells you it is very different to other marvel films. Snowflake cant handle a little politics in a film

[@timeyinsholaye9169]

@Toon Trooper. Barely any one liners, a good villain unlike other marvel films ,far more mature story, did you watch the film at all? If so tell me what creature was called into battle against black panther's army?

[@thedashboard9562]

If *Infinity War* doesn't have a scene where Shuri schools Tony Stark about how dated his tech is, then someone in the Marvel Studios writing room is sleeping on the job.

[@StephySon]

The Dashboard omg I was just saying that!!!! Especially since Wakandan tech is the most advanced in the world ^^

[@myself2noone]

Then Rocket shows up and just laughs?

[@romospeghatti2087]

I think it’ll be more akin to a dick-measuring contest, as they both have some pretty impressive tech. Jarvis/Vision alone is an amazing feat.

[@brianstraight9308]

I think you guys sorta missed the "point" of the post-credits tag scene. Bucky says "Thank you," to Wakanda Q lady. There was a more "deeper" moment between these two, I took it that she'd reversed the Hydra programming he was under. (The reason why he went back into stasis/cryo-sleep at the end of Civil War.)

[@thelionking1491]

[@Rechenmaschine]

Drama is not the opposite of comedy. Tragedy is. Not a single one of these Marvel movies are tragedies, so the Greek tragedy comparison is a stretch. You don't require joke cracking to be a comedy and you can have plenty of drama and still be a comedy. Tragedy, in it's simplest form, requires absolute loss for the main characters, with nothing achieved, and no enlightenment for the characters involved.

[@samk6141]

Rechenmaschine The films aren’t tragedies, but MOST of the characters do have tragic stories

[@GeeVanderplas]

Greek tragedies always ended with catharsis, there is always enlightenment in the end. That said, I agree that comedy and tragedy are dramatic opposites in storytelling.

[@Sibbot]

Tragedy is where we gain wisdom.

[@vitorborges807]

I never expected to see a black supremacist as a villain before, even less in a superhero film.

[@lettuceprime4922]

[@dragonstryk7280]

For me, the villain is always the most key component of any movie or story, whatever villain that form takes. You can have mediocre heroes, you can totally get away with that, but if you tank your villain, there's just no saving it. You're totally fucked. That I think is where movies like Suicide Squad, and Batman vs. Superman fell down, was that their villain presence just wasn't where it needed to be.

[@samuelstensgaard4828]

Sean McTiernan I dunno about that, I feel like you can survive having a meh villain if the hero(s) are compelling. Guardians of the Galaxy is one example.

[@tom1921]

Guardians of the Galaxy copes just fine with a shit villain. As long as at least a couple of the characters are engaging and the story is good, you'll get a decent flick.

[@dragonstryk7280]

Ronan wasn't a bad villain. He was decent, but got overshadowed by the heroes in this instance. His goals are clear, and understandable: He wants vengeance on Zandakar for the 'wrongs' they committed against him and the kree people. He stays on task, constantly going after both his retribution, and the infinity stone he needs to pull it off. Even when you look at how he ultimately ends up failing, it was through a combined effort of the entire Nova Corps, plus the actual heroes working against him. While he wasn't a standout, certainly, he also wasn't bad as a villain.

[@Free2LoveDorks]

I thought the movie had plenty of funny moments. They simply weren't as obvious about it like other Marvel movies where it's more frequent and less natural based on the characters and story.

[@MysteriousMrL]

There were a lot of big laughs when I saw it. And there was at least one moment that undercut a fairly serious scene with humor, when M'Baku interrupts them with, "Are you finished?" It's balanced really well overall. It's weird to hear them talking about this movie like there's barely any humor, even if they do cite that as a plus.

[@edaj1990]

Yeah! Definitely not the “self aware” humor like the latest Thor movie, but the humor was there. Just not a big part of the movie.

There actually was a guy from somewhere on the motherland who was dressed in traditional African garb. I think he was visiting his family because the people he was with had American accents. When the movie was over he actually started crying over the fact that he saw a movie about a technologically advanced country in Africa and it was not whitewashed. I am looking at you Exodus Gods and Kings, Cleopatra, and a bunch of other movies. I am calling it right here and right now that Black Panther will make somewhere between 850-1 billion dollars worldwide. Who agrees with me?

[@Revan-eb1wb]

He was referring to Cleopatra the MOVIE not the historical person.

I don't think you're giving kids enough credit. My generation was raised on the Harry Potter movies, which didn't have nearly as much 'fun magic stuff' as you'd expect. Most of them is the three main characters trying to solve some sort of mystery and/or dealing with coming of age stuff. Kids (especially black kids for obvious reasons) are going to eat this movie up and buy as many toys as possible.

[@levischorpioen]

I think the MCU is slowly starting to adopt a Harry Potter-like method of making each film slightly more adult-oriented, or at least more grown-up. I think it's absolutely brilliant.

Sam K these guys have seen alot of cgi in movies thanks to the 90s, I guess their standards have been shaped by it.

[@greenmanatee3368]

Honestly the only times the special effects took me out of the movie were the CGI rhinos and the occasional obvious green screen environment.

[@jokerz7936]

In Iron Man 2 there is an emotional journey Tony learns his dad really did love him something he doubted.

[@VenomtheOne]

not enough to justify a whole movie, though

[@jokerz7936]

What justifies a film? It made it's money back with a nice profit and got decent reviews so from a business POV it was worth it.

[@chaoticcranium]

This movie is its own thing, but if I had to do this exercise of saying what movies crossed together make this movie... The Lion King (African setting, debate over succession of the throne by relatives) x James Bond (Black Panther's gadgets, basically the entire Korea subplot) x Wonder Woman (debate over whether to keep their paradise home a secret to outsiders, female "Valkyries") Of course, everything has its influences. This fuses those concepts into something wholly unique - a great movie with a strong dramatic core and a very well-written villain.

iliowahine19 I find that a good thing, when people leave that means that they aren’t people who normally watch superhero movies, which means Black Panther is attracting more normies which is great and making more money

I think that Black Panther is Marvel's Wonder Woman. Both of them never had a stand alone movie until now and they both had a minor role in a previous movie where superheroes battle each other.

[@haveapotato691]

My wife and I and my 13 year old son went to see Black Panther last night. Afterwards I asked him if he liked it, and his first reaction was "There weren't very many funny parts!" That was an issue for him because he's a much more humor oriented kid than an action kid. Black Panther really does stand out because it's themes seem so "real world" as compared to other MCU films. But my wife and I LOVED this movie because of its maturity. So we're right there with you.

[@ScottSullivanTV]

Movie: *makes a cringey “What are the those” joke You: “It’s so mature.” Shut up and go watch a real good movie

[@zakkiyyabts7]

black panther and aquaman were my favorite the story and characters in both hooked me in i might be the odd ball one out but i see nothing wrong with black panther i loved i watched this with my parents 4 times we loved it!

[@thekingslayer1831]

The hype for this and Wonder Woman is ridiculous. Yes, the main character is black. Doesn’t change the fact that it sucks.

[@zackreynolds21]

Homecomings emotional moment was the scene where he is stuck under all the rubble as a kid who is scared and helplessly crying...but then finds his inner strength to “save himself”,and comes out a man.Another,but more very real tension and not heart wrenching,was the car scene with the Vulture

[@tmoney360]

I just want to play devil's advocate against the people who like to say why do people treat this movie like it is the first black superhero film? While it's true that characters like Blade and Spawn had movies first this is really the first movie with a black Superhero who isn't a brutally violent vigelante, sidekick to the main character, in horseshit like Catwomen, over the top jokey paradies, or spends their efforts protecting "Da hood." Many black people are happy to see a great, big budget black hero who you can put in the same sentence and importance of a WW, Tony Stark, Captain America, or Superman. Black Panther isn't Falcon or War Machine. His presence rivals the big names rather than sits in another's shadow.

[@canvas_125]

tmoney360 Thank you!

[@HeilRay]

tmoney360 Uuuh Blade is a hero. Black Panther is a Anti Hero....given the several Genocides at that time for all we know his father(Former Black Panther) may even be seen as a anti villain or straight up villain.

[@tmoney360]

HellRay I'm not saying BP is a boy scout and that Blade doesn't have the world's well-being on his mind. Many comic heroes have done many questionable things including T'challa. But when it comes to movies many black heroes just haven't been portrayed as world savers like BP is. What blade did wasn't something one would think the wider world would privy to. BP is a world influencing Black superhero we really haven't seen on film like this before. He's so important he will have an alien invading his nation and fighting his army in the next Avengers film. what other black hero has had that type of global importance on screen before this? So many have been sidekick or street level/underground heroes. That's all i mean.

[@OverlordZephyros]

Well there is meteor man ... Right?... Ill show myself out slowly

[@Ramidemi710]

tmoney360 Why does there have to be a black version of every possible setting a movie could be in? "We need a black worldsaver, a black relatable superhero, a black antihero, a black vigilante a black this, a black that". That's why i don't like this movie and everything that surrounds it, because all that gets talked about is that. That he's black. People literally see only black and white. I'm not calling for a white hero now that protects the hood, or a white blade. I don't give a shit what color the characters are. That's why i liked Luke Cage. He championed and protected the people in his home, not "Hey everyone unite under your race". This is all just another step towards racial identitarianism and self segregation.

[@Nasser851000]

Just came back from watching the movie. SO GOOD! :D

[@AndresGonzalez-uj2wg]

Kill Monger is my second favorite MCU Villain right after Vulture

[@dislike_button33]

Andres Gonzalez Why? He's not interesting. He's just a revenge nut that killed many people just because daddy died. Boo hoo, your dad got killed, you sure showed us by slaughtering dozens and dozens of fathers and sons. So much depth....as much as a kiddie pool.

[@Phanthief95]

Nephi Nelson Oh, so basically like a lot of good characters like Loki & the Punisher. Loki killed people because his dad lied to him. Punisher killed people because his family was killed in front of him. As well, Killmonger killed people because he was ordered to, since he was in the armed forces. As well, he wanted to prove to himself that he was worthy to take the throne.

[@serbancapraru8559]

wow... you really don't get it.

[@timothymorris157]

The Vulture is a better villain than Killmonger because Adrian Toomes is involving his wife and daughter under the belief that everything he’s doing is all for them even though it’s all illegal and morally conflicted.

[@e_personal]

The movie was enjoyable, but it was not without problems I can ignore. I found the characters and storyline that was driven by them very compelling. However, the movie just felt “okay” to me, rather than being good. Main reason is that while the characters are compelling, the world of Wakanda and how it is built was not so compelling to me. Wakanda world building felt like it was based too much on superficial stereotypes which makes technology application just feels unnatural. Wakanda is supposedly an advanced country, but the problem is that only thing that it has going for is technology. If you take technology away, then all that it is left is a country still stuck in tribal mindset that still elects a monarch by screening candidates in some sort of MMA competition fashion. The people are happy solely because they never had a bad king through pure luck, and even that luck runs out in the movie. So, I just don't see how Wakanda is particularly a positive portrayal of what it may symbolize to some people. Also, Black Panther as the king of Wakanda setting also created some realism problem for me. It's like Prime Minister of U.K. being 007 at the same time: When does he actually have time to do Prime Minister stuff? Unless Wakanda is so monotonous that there isn't much stuff for a king to do and all it needs is one Batman like peace keeper. Well, in that case, the setting might make some sense. I find problems with the simplistic skewed view held by the villain about solution to perceived racism. The movie does show that the hero does not agree with the villan's idea of solution to racism. But, it does not make it clear if the disagreement is because that there is a problem with the villain's understanding of the problem or if the disagreement is just because it is violent. Sure, there are racism in the world, but it is not a type of racism perpetuated by organized effort by an entire country that supports that racism, at least it is not that type of racism in countries like U.S.A. There may be racists in America, but it is not like the entire America supports racism. If bad individuals are personally being racists to someone, how does topping the government of an entire country that does not support that racism with weapons supposed to solve that problem? One of my pet peeves in Hollywood movies how some movie makers portray other supposedly advanced culture: Something like people in those other culture, which is supposedly advanced as ours or better, having a ranged weapon in a form of a melee weapon that is stereotypically associated with certain aspects of their culture. Doing stuff like that does NOT feel like appreciation of different culture. It just fees like an insult, implying that those people stupidly cling on to certain form of tools just for tradition sake when the form of the tools are completely inadequate for that the technology is applied for. Any civilization intelligent enough to have advanced technology should also have brains to apply it in a manner that the form would follow its intended function. If I need to aim something at a distance to shoot laser or projectile, etc. at it, then I'd much rather have something shaped like a rifle with a good aiming device like an Aimpoint, than try to point it with something shaped like a sword and try to guess if I am pointing at the right spot. Lacking at this quality, the writer felt the need to make a character say stuff like "Guns. How primitive." I am not trying to make this political, so if the writers had an anti-gun rights agenda, let's leave that aside for now. The reason why the character needed to say things like “Guns. How primitive” is because the movie makes Nakia use a spear which is more primitive weapon, and the movie does not show anything to make the audience feel that this supposedly advanced Wakanda spear actually is advanced. It is more powerful in penetrating power than a regular spear, and able to shrink to be concealed, but those two alone does not provide any significant advantage as a futuristic spear compared to what advantage a futuristic gun would provide. Think about what a gun is. It is a weapon designed to shoot a projectile or laser at a distance, shaped in a way to make holding and aiming it at a target efficient. If you think about it, that is exactly the characteristic of a weapon that would be suited for the situation where she says “Guns, how primitive.” But, since she does not have a weapon with a characteristic suited for the situation, she needs to climb out of the car, stand on its roof, then throw a spear, all of which is much more cumbersome to do and put her in a disadvantage compared to using a gun. And, what makes this even less of a sense is that Wakanda does have guns. The one Ulysses Klaue was using was stolen from Wakanda, and he was having much more effect with it in the same car chase. And, don't say it was because because Nakia did not want to kill the enemies, because the impact she cased with the spear makes the car looks like it slammed into a wall driving at 100 mph. Same goes for the large battle scene where Wakanda tribes were fighting each other. They were using spears and swords, and they look just like spears and swords, it is used like spears and swords, and it functions like spears and swords, nothing else. There isn't really anything advanced shown about them. Supposedly Wakanda spear can destroy a tank, according to character dialogue, but it isn't shown anywhere, even in scenes where those spears were used in battle. And, since the movie does not effectively show any of that, that's why the writer felt the need to make Killmonger say Wakanda spear can destroy a tank. Which is lazy if you ask me.

This movie broke the record for the largest opening weekend ever in the month of February.

[@TheAphexTim]

This happens every time I go to see any Marvel movie. People just don't learn or don't care apparently. With Black Panther, I even had some people walk out DURING the mid-credits scene. Like.. why? You sit through half the credits, only to walk out when you get an extra scene?

[@DH1986]

I left before seeing the credits because people wouldn't stop talking. I thought I could probably catch it it on youtube or read about it online.

[@yupitsjessbbyx3]

Doug just needs to chill with how jaded he is. The comedy wasn’t needed when it came it was what it’s supposed to be: comic “relief” I was fully engaged with these characters. When Black panther is gone I barely missed him because the other characters were compelling on their own. Honestly the general is the biggest badass ever. The final fight in the cave was needed because of the resolution of Michael b Jordan’s arc. YOU LITERALLY LIFT HIM FROM THE DEPTHS OF HIS OWN DARKNESS DOUG ARE YOU KIDDING ME WITH THAT

[@incitossol]

I see a distinct lack of Red Skull in this listing.

Incitos 98 That’s cause Red Skull has a stupid design and doesn’t do anything interesting. The MCU version anyway. He’s better in the comics.

[@chris200830]

I agree with Rob on this. I also appreciate how serious the movie took itself. It didn't ruin emotional moments with comedy like a lot of the other Marvel movies do. I think Winter Soldier managed to balance the action and comedy a bit better, but this is one of their best movies when it comes to character development and story and I really love that. Wish there was more action or something to hook audiences in, but it's not a major issue.

[@Goodsoldiersfolleworders99]

I really enjoyed this film, I give black panther 9/10, the first best film this yeah so far

[@TheCyberwoman]

I LOVED green suit/lip plate guy. As a costuming nerd, I was practically drooling. Almost all of the background characters had elements of modern fashion mixed with traditional African dress. He was like the crowning Jewel of that theme. The idea was what would a modern metropolitan civilization in Africa dress like if it hadn't had colonial interference. And THAT'S it. Wakanda is clearly aware of high fashion in the rest of the world, they use it, but there is no shame or homogenization associated with it. That's what that guy was, someone who loves fashion but still entrenched in his culture, and he was beautiful.

[@hartthorn]

My one major complaint that creates a sort of through line for the whole movie: [SPOILERS] .... ... .. Why did Erik's dad have to die? It seems like this was not sufficiently explained, and since it wasn't, the whole rest of the plot is hanging from this very shoddy hook.

[@angelsmg247]

Taylor Guest it was because Erik's dad pulled out a gun trying to attack the spy guy (younger Forest Whitaker) and T'Chaka reacted very (a lil too much) quickly and "stopped" him by killing him.

[@hartthorn]

Sylvia Gomez I get that much, but it just seems more "he needed to die for the plot" than any INstory reason. Like... dude's still the black panther. We're supposed to believe he did that as an oopsie?

[@SunGawdRa]

Heat of the moment, Taylor. In close quarters, with less than a second to think, even a Black Panther would have to use instinct over intellect.

[@irondragonmaiden]

Actually, the plot hole that has me still going nuts is WHY DID ANYONE THINK IT WAS A GOOD IDEA TO SEND A PRINCE WHO IS AT LEAST 2ND IN LINE TO THE THRONE ON A SPY MISSION?! Spies, by their very nature, are EXPENDABLE PEOPLE you can burn and execute if they're caught and you don't want others to know you're their employer! Whose bright idea was it send N'Jobu on a SPY MISSION OVERSEAS WHILE THE COLD WAR WAS STILL GOING ON?! I mean, the guy stayed there long enough to marry and, by the time T'Chaka went to confront him for stealing vibranium and letting KLAUE know about it, have a 10~ year old kid, so he had to have been there for longer than 10 years. So he was sent there somewhere in the early 80's AT THE LATEST. Again, which idiot risked the prince's life by putting him on a spy mission overseas while the Cold War was still on?! This shit makes no sense!

[@LiLzZluvinJ]

There was one guy in the theater who left right after the Black Panther fight scene at the end. My friends and I just started cracking up laughing! He didn't wait for the movie to end or anything, he just LEFT. We were so confused.

[@DigitalJediMaster]

There always seems to be a bit of Mandela Syndrome in the days/weeks after a major film, and it seems to be at play here. For whatever things I might agree or disagree with you...you are epically, utterly, magnificently wrong about the humor in this film. There were so many humorous, intentional moments of levity in this film, that I'm kind stunned both of you missed them. What might be the case, is that it was worked in much more subtly than in other films. Maybe it was more natural. But it was absolutely present and plentiful.

He thinks the airport fight was the center of Civil War... well, he says centerpiece and literal middle of the running time, so I'm not really sure what he was trying to prove with that. He's clearly forgotten the emotional climax with Steve and Bucky vs. Tony, which is completely serious, character-driven, and not at all jokey.

[@kreyain7455]

I've seen the movie twice, first at a regular screening and the 2nd time at an event screening where most of the audience were African who'd come over to study and work. In regards to the humour or lack thereof, there were several scenes that got zero reaction from a regular audience but sent the African audience into hysterics and my mates had to explain after that they were very specific cultural jokes that you wouldn't get unless you grew up in Africa.
