Is Autumn Durald a good DP? I haven't checked out Loki yet. Let's hope we get the A Team for Stunts/choreography and special effects this time around.

Cinematography is pretty good.
Fights on Loki are kinda meh. So its tough to judge how she can shoot fight scenes. Even though the fight team/cgi wasnt the A team on BP1....the Waterfall fights were shot fantastically.
So we'll see.

Any word on who is doing the fight / stunt choreography
Note the synopsis doesn't say anything about T'Challa or mention his death.
This is going to be an ambitious project with more things to juggle than the first film so I hope Coogler manages to juggle everything effectively and the conflict between Wakanda and Atlantis comes off natural and not contrived and hamfisted.
BP had some many flaws like this, that it's the reason BP2 is basically my most anticipated movie in the MCU* right there. there was terrible CG, i don't think they ultimately explored Wakanda nearly enough, and outside of a scene or 2, the fighting and set pieces were mid-tier mcu at best.
*Love and Thunder and Multiverse of Madness running neck and neck actually.
Says Andy Gill, he did the first movie and has done stuff for many other Marvel movies in the past.

Same guys from the 1st one.
Andy Gill - Stunts
Darrin Prescott - 2nd unit coordinator
Gill did work on Winter Soldier/Civil War as well...
Prescott does all the John Wick
I think the issue in the first movie was not enough fight scenes and then going CGI heavy in the 3rd act. Those dudes are good when you keep it grounded.
The casino stuff and the first T'Challa vs Killmonger fight were well done.
It was the CGI battles at the end where they really dropped the ball.

And that was partially because they reshot the fight scenes and didnt have time to get the CGI done correctly.
I guess the major issue is how do you handle such a CGI heavy Atlantis/Namor fight. Aquaman 2 is filming now as well, but that doesnt release until DEC 2022. They gotta really plan this out well. Cause they wont have the same amount of time.
I thought Aquaman handled the undersea stuff pretty well so they should just steal what James Wan did.
Yeah the worst shyt was at the end. Not only from an effects standpoint, but also conceptual standpoint. Separating Killmonger and T'Challa from the rest of the battle was a bad idea.

We'll see. You know Marvel prefers doing things different than DC.
Nah that wasnt a problem. It was basically the end scene of Phantom Menace when you think about it.
The problem is putting two dark costumed characters, in a dark cave. It just made it difficult to render the effects. They needed to move that fight elsewhere. Somebody should have stepped in and said they need to only fight for a second there because it would be tough to see and tough for the CGI team.

@Primetime Lets make the movie incredibly more difficult to where you have to write your 6th script instead of recasting brehs
