It’s not an accident. When Ryan Coogler was making Creed, every time he went into the MGM offices they had a bunch of James Bond posters and memorabilia as decorations.

After “getting caught up” the influence of Bond can definitely be felt in Black Panther.

What I love most about Black Panther and why I don't think it's overrated, is how they executed the hard-hitting themes (i.e. the sins of our fathers, leadership, etc.) which elevated it from the standard MCU good vs. bad conflict. Maybe just brush up a bit of the rough edges, but overall I thought it's pretty flawless. Also, Chadwick Boseman was IMMACULATE as James Brown in "Get on Up", another great movie from him.

[@leecameron9226]

Well...when I first watched it, I was like this is basically blaxpoilation with Lion King if Simba was the villain and Scar was the good guy. With ideas of a closed country sprinkled in here and there. Amalgamation of a number of the different African cultures on just the surface level but obviously not knowing much about it, thus quickly cut away into space age tech to hide ignorance.

Perhaps someone has made this comment.

So this isn’t referred to as immigration. It’s very much about the relationship between Africans and those of the diaspora who were ripped from their homeland. In some cases sold by other Africans. It’s about the reconciliation or lack there if between these communities.

Having grown up with him playing in SO many iconic roles I couldn't help but tear up throughout the movie. I was just impressed with his acting and the hard roles he took on. He was like a real life superhero to me. Now to know that he's gone is painful, even though I didn't know him personally. He was on the road to be the mosta iconic black actor, and potentially even the most iconic actor of all time. I remember watching an interview about him talking to children with cancer and him crying about the seemingly helpless situation they were in; all the while hiding from the world (even Disney) that he was sick himself. The man was tough. I wish he was still here.

It’s kind of interesting how many MCU fans felt Black Panther was a solid film but not top tier, but a lot of those not invested in the comics or just binging (like Jen and Matt) really let the themes resonate with them and love it. Not hard to see where the billion dollar box office and academy award nominations came from

[@VonJay]

I really enjoyed it but it was a bit sloppy at times when it didn’t need to be. Structurally and story wise I cannot find a better mcu film, however the execution of the film at parts felt absolutely unnecessary. Like Holden said, some sequences just took me out of the experience. Why create something that looks obviously fake. If there is no other way to do a scene without horrible cgi then scrap those moments of the scene entirely. From when black Panther jumps from his ship in the very beginning and throws the beads to the train fight scene with late 90’s graphics, those scenes could have been swapped with real people and it would have made a 1000% difference. Again, going cgi is completely unnecessary. To me that’s like cging the scene when Killmonger kills claw. Exactly…it makes no sense. If you can’t film it in a persuasive enough of a way with cgi, make the scene simpler. Nobody will miss the bull shit.

[@dimensia6942]

6:28 yes. The language used for Wakanda is Xhosa which is one of the 11 languages of South Africa. John Kani and his son Atandwa Kani (both play T’chaka old and young) are actually South African

The tattoo on the lip is "vibranium ink" and, if I'm not mistaken, it's given only to Wakandan Wardogs (basically the CIA of Wakanda). Or sum'n like that.

[@tofu_golem]

Calling Bucky "White Wolf" was significant. The White Wolf is the name of the first immigrant in Wakanda, and the Wakandans are notoriously xenophobic, so things will not be easy for him.

Yep, you guys hit on the tragedy of Killmonger perfectly. If he had received the same love that T'Challa was given growing up he could have been a great asset to the kingdom. Instead he was left to fend for himself and grew up with hate and resentment.

*Video Spoiler* *Jen's MCU Reviews/Rankings:* *Black Panther:* A lot going on. Heavier tone. Favourite MCU movie so far. Really like T'Challa. Respect and admire him. Visually good. Love Chadwick.

I agree with your opinion. I never thought this movie lived up to its hype. It was good but nowhere near the best MCU film even when it first came out.

[@Dampealx7]

Agreed. Way to cartoonish for me. They should of had a solid John Wick style fight scene - minus the special fx

[@thaimaster1oo]

If I’m not mistaken most of the Marvel VFX team was working on infinity war so they weren’t able to do as much

[@AllInTheGame01]

Unfortunately Thor Ragnarok, Infinity War, Ant-Man & The Wasp and Black Panther were all in production at the same time and BP got the short end of the stick with the VFX Team for that sequence and the ridiculously short time they were given to work on it (about 6wks instead of the usual 4-6 months). Hopefully, Feige & Co learn their lesson for the sequel especially if they're going to be dealing with Atlantis!

[@ki700]

It’ll be like every other video. They’ll watch one movie per video and they’ll watch in release order, so we’ll get a video for Infinity War, then Ant-Man and the Wasp, then Captain Marvel, and then Endgame.

[@XXXenophile]

@@ki700 the question will be if she “demands” to try to jump the line. ;-)

[@SapphireBoy26]

Clearly, my question was misunderstood. What I meant was that, since Infinity War and Endgame, especially Endgame, are considerably longer than other MCU films, pretty much very other reactor on YT breaks those two films up in parts. Some post Part 2 etc., on the same day as Part 1; others post them days later. I just didn’t know how he usually goes about posting those two films, so I was hoping we wouldn’t have to wait days for additional parts if he did split them up.

[@tofu_golem]

Two things that will make you sad. One, when Killmonger first went to the land of the ancestors, he saw only the dingy apartment he lived in with his dad instead of the open savannah with all the other kings. Two, the opening dialog is not young T'Challa with his father T'Chakka, but young Killmonger with his father N'Jobu.

I feel a lot of people dislike this movie because of Killmonger. His motivation is justified. His reasoning is sound. And his plan is the same as many European nations...we have better weapons so let's take what we want.

[@PhilBagels]

I don't think I've ever heard of anyone who didn't like this movie because of Killmonger. He's one of the best villains in the MCU. And one of the best parts of this movie.

[@makz524]

@@PhilBagels I dislike Killmonger very much. he is stupid and wrong about literally everything. his motivations are that of someone who has never been outside of Los Angeles and knows nothing of the rest of the world. and why did he wait until after the man that wronged him died and then go after the son who didn't even know what had happened? why did he CHOOSE to be a CIA assassin instead of going to Wakanda when he was young? Killmonger is not even as compelling as Whiplash and WAY less interesting than Klaw. he is a terrible villain overall and ruins an otherwise great movie

[@makz524]

amazing. everything you just said is wrong. that was not even his plan. killmonger is a terrible villain

[@PhilBagels]

@@makz524 I dislike him too. I just mean that he's a "good" villain from a literary standpoint. He's evil, but not mindlessly evil. He's motivated by revenge and selfishness. And his motivations are clear and well-acted. We get to see into his character, into just what kind of person he is (a terrible person) and why. Unlike some of the other MCU villains like Malekith or Killian or that completely forgettable guy from Doctor Strange. And I also agree with you that Klaw was a more interesting character. I think there are a number of reasons to dislike this movie, but I don't think Killmonger is one of them. The main thing I didn't like is the deus-ex-machina Vibranium - and unlimited supply of magic metal that does everything you need it to do. Wakanda is an entire nation of Mary-Sues. And the ridiculous succession-by-arena-fight. Really? The most technologically advanced nation on earth, with the most primitive form of government ever. And yes, everything AirunDevon said is wrong. Including that Killmonger is the reason people dislike this movie.

Just so you know.

A more important message in the movie is the way the developed world sees African nations, as still being "third world", a perception resulting from the depiction of Africa through the 70s, 80s and 90s. In reality African nations are no longer third world. There's a lot of tech being developed in Africa.
