Lol

lmao even.

In fact, rofl.
 
And if this piece of shit does gangbusters in the box office it will be purely from whitey being forced to watch it to not be racist. The hood rats will drop it like a rock once word of mouth slreads about it just being all sheboons.
 
Was it really so hard to write up a way in which Killmonger survived and is repentful for his actions, and in atonement agrees to take up the mantle of Black Panther posing as T'Challa with only Shuri and Okoye knowing the truth?

Fans of this gay shit have been asking for Jordan to be the new BP, and all I can say is that at least he looks the part more or less.

I mean you are literally in the Multiverse stage of this shit. If there is one use of the Multiverse it's bring Michael B. Jordan to the role. Have him go through a redemption arc and put on the suit with a more healthy outlook on life and there you go. Everyone who liked the first movie would love that.

Other than that, I think it really was a foregone conclusion that everything would go to shit once they unironically announced Multiverse shit was happening. Literally every time this happens in comics it becomes an incoherent mess with obvious editorial failings that only results in shitty comics, bad sales, and the inevitable relaunch ad infinitum.
 
I saw the latest Marvel slop (for free).

Lots of sassy black women being sassy.

Single motherhood is great! It takes a real black woman to raise a black KANG! (In Haiti)

The villain's weakness is that he needs moisturizer. The fucking kekery.

I'm tired of sympathetic villains. Can motherfuckers just be unrepentantly evil/tyrannical/assholish without some attempt to endear themselves to the audience?

Anyone can be Iron Man now.

The breakeven is approximately $500 million. So far the box office is $330 million.

So, I watched this film because a kid who, let's say, I'm a male role model for, was a fan of the Black Panther character and wanted to watch this film, so we saw it.

This film, in my opinion, looks to be on par with the predecessor, which isn't saying much because the first film was overrated to no end. I'll try my best to generalize things here without spoiling anything important in detail.

Pros
  • The CGI is better in this film than the last one. The first film looked like a fucking amusement park CGI-freakshow, and the fights looked like they belonged in a PS2 game. This film is a great improvement on what came before in terms of visual effects.
  • Acting was serviceable except for one character, which I will save for later. I can't say that anyone was very bad here; they just did their job.
  • This film luckily doesn't feel like two films into one, and it takes its time, unlike the first one.
  • The hate for the West and race-baiting has been toned down some.
  • The mid-credits scene is an interesting response to T'Challa's death.
Cons
  • All the males in this film are treated like crap. T'Challa is unceremoniously killed off due to an illness, W'Kabi is nowhere to be found due to scheduling conflicts, Ross is emasculated, and M'Baku, who is my favorite character in both of these films, only has maybe 15 minutes of screentime at most.
  • I fucking hated Ironheart in this movie. She serves as a MacGuffin in this film. You can't look at this 19-year old liberal black bitch and think she's a supergenius who could build a fucking vibranium detector in a big garage, nevermind an Iron Man-ripoff suit. It's completely unbelievable. And she lives in the shadow of Tony Stark as a tokenized character. The suit is similar, her powers are similar, she even goes to the same fucking college Stark went to. This character is crap in the comics and crap in this film.
  • Namor's motivations are all over the place. Am I supposed to sympathize with this character, because he presents himself as a double-dealer against the Wakandans, and expected them to side with him afterwards? He sounds like a selfish, manipulative jackass. And an idiot. He's worse than Killmonger.
  • This film loves to drag on sometimes, and it's clear that Boseman's death kinda distorted this film. It may have been better if they just recasted the character, because I don't know if Wright, on her own, can hold up this film. There were times that her mother, Ramonda, upstaged her better.
This is all from the top of my head. It's better than most of the superhero schlock that has came out recently, but it's still superhero schlock.

Also, that gay relationship that was being talked about was between two Dora Milaje. Ayo is given some food or something by Aneka, who is played by that ugly black girl named Michaela Coel, and is kissed on her bald head by her, and the says "Thank you, love."

It's not important or anything; it's just tacked on there in the ending at the last moment. Just like Disney did in Rise of Skywalker, Lightyear, Doctor Strange 2, and pretty much any goddamn thing they release now.
 
I do like how France just randomly hires mercenaries so they can look evil. The writers must have realised their topic of Wakanda hoarding tech was far too on point and needed to be undermined, lol.

Actually, that's one reason Wakanda as a concept annoys me. They're a city which can sustain itself with zero external trade or influence, and apparently have unlimited resources to draw upon, but still benefit from spies and subterfuge embedded in the world around them. Shuri whimpering about "colonisers" - while draping herself in western pop culture and never having to concern herself with events outside limitless wealth and magic technology - would have been a pretty cutting example of how detached she is from reality, if not for Yas Queen.
 
I only just watched Love and Thunder so I don’t know how far behind I am. Thor is such a silly goose in that movie.

I went to that because my air was broke, I fell the fuck asleep around the time they showed Thors bare ass.
The beginning with the Tardians of the galaxy sucked more ass than a 2022 monkeypox convention

It's pretty much how the directors of those films live, so of course there is zero self introspection
 
When thinking of how the Wakandans can be technologically advanced in the first place , it reminded me of the Star Trek episode "The Masterpiece Society." Basically, a colony of genetically engineered geniuses are about to be killed by debris from a neutron star. Long story short, they figure out how to move the fragment out of the way based on La Forge's VISOR. Geordi makes the point that this technology does not exist in the Masterpiece society because if they had their way, he would have been aborted due to his blindness. After all, "Necessity is the mother of invention."

So, let's look at the Wakandans, an insular people that have no desire to interact with the outside world and use Vibranium for everything. They have planes because of magic vibranium, but do they understand aerodynamics? They have vibranium medicine, but do they understand microbiology? Why bother inventing the microscope if the cure for every ailment is vibranium pills? If Wakanda was treated as a serious part of the MCU, they'd be where Edo Japan was at, where their culture and technology stagnated while the rest of the world innovated. Wakanda might have the tech advantage for now, but that might not be true a hundred years from now with mass-produced arc reactor planes, tanks, and artillery. As we saw in Infinity War, their energy shield couldn't even hold up to a Zerg rush and Wakandan battle tactics have not evolved past--at most--Shaka Zulu's formation. In fact, their tactical understanding is worse than that given how T'Challa was dumb enough to get into melee range of a Zerg rush. How would Wakanda hold up to a US-led coalition of the willing bombing their shield every day for a year?

There's also a fundamental population problem Wakanda has. Since they were able to go undetected for thousands of years, their population limit is the size of five tribes. Now, I'm not sure how big these tribes actually are, but since they occupy a small landmass where they can LARP as poor farmers, their population can't be that big. Let's say, five cities like LA or New York for simplicity's sake. The top five US cities have a combined population of around 20 million. That army can work with conscription, but 1% of that population is around 200,000 professional-grade soldiers. It's enough to patrol their borders, but not enough for a sustained conflict of any kind. Mind you, I also think that 20 million is overestimating their population, so it's probably even less than that. M'Baka had a point against going to war.

So, I think all the talk of Wakandan superiority is just that. They know that if they got into a serious war, they'd be on the losing end of a siege, so they send their special forces out to intimidate other nations while using their cloak to stay hidden and avoid showing the world just how advanced they are. They're probably like the Dahomey tribe, selling off other, lesser Africans to the colonizers seeing as how Killmonger's mother was a slave. It's not like Wakanda cared about other Africans, after all.

But seriously, yeah, any sort of logic applied to Wakanda will cause it to break almost immediately. You could say that about a lot of the MCU, but Wakanda sticks out as a particularly egregious example because it doesn't work on pretty much any level.

From an in-world point of view, how is it that a gigantic vibranium deposit enables this small African nation to develop such sophisticated technology that seems to solve basically all logistical problems? Like, if I were a member of a primitive culture and just happened to find a chunk of magic metal, how would I know what to do with it? How does vibranium allow them to feed their population without needing to trade with other countries? Like, it doesn't make crops magically flourish, right?

Furthermore, despite being so technologically advanced as to basically be the world leaders in technology (but nobody knows that because they keep it secret), why is their society still operating like they're hundreds of years in the past? Their troops seem to fight with nothing but raw manpower and melee, aside from riding fucking rhinos. They decide who rules by a fucking fistfight of all things, and anyone can do that at any time apparently.

And then from the meta perspective, it's just so much worse. People praise Wakanda as being this hopeful portrayal of how great black society could be, especially without whitey dragging them down, but the reality is it's an insular ethno-state that would rather keep all its absurd wealth to itself than do anything to help those around it, that's only as powerful as it is because of sheer dumb luck and magic alien metal. They could have stepped up many times over probably centuries to make a difference in the world, but nah, it's more fun to be ridiculously rich and powerful. I get that this criticism could be interpreted as similar to the stupid "why don't billionaires just stop world hunger" argument, except in this case it'd apparently be true. And yeah, T'challa was starting to change that at the end of the first Black Panther movie, but apparently that didn't go anywhere and they're all back to hiding under their bubble shield.

I'm sure this will still make a lot of money and will probably be one of the more successful Phase 4 MCU movies, but man, the entire concept is just so damn stupid.
 
Also another weakness that no one thought of when it comes to Vibranium; it has to be digestible in the human body for it to work like medicine. After all, Vibranium pills can't remain solid in the human body. It would be like sticking a metal rod in the spinal column otherwise. Meaning that some liquid in the human body, probably stomach acid, is capable of destroying solid Vibranium.
