But it's a marvel comic book movie, shouldn't it be partly judged by explosions and fight scenes?

Ava was originally slated to direct it. Wonder how that would have turned out.

He's a she


And I thought they needed better action direction, the fight scenes weren't hitting for me
Loved the movie but I also agree with this hopefully with the sequel we get another amazing story with better action scenes

The cgi and fighting is why I can’t watch it anymore. Civil war made his character look more dope

You mean every fight except the human traffickers at the beginning, M'Baku in the challenge, Klaue's men in the club, taking down Klaue himself, kicking W'Kabi's ass and all his men, and then defeating Killmonger in the end. :stopitslime:

We got a Black superhero in one of the most well-put together and meaningful superhero movies ever, one that was historically popular globally, and you're seriously bytching that it didn't have the same tired martial arts/special effects bullshyt that you can watch in 500 other movies. :snoop:

It wasn't "unnecessary" though, that origin story was the only way that the movie could be a commentary on the Black American experience in any sense. Take away the origin story and you take away the entire soul of the conflict in the movie, that tension between the African experience and the Black American experience and how the diaspora relates to itself and the other.

Is it really even an origin story though?

Sure it goes into the background of Wakanda, but he was already Black Panther (and King of Wakanda) at the start.


I'm not sure I'd even count the BP movie as an origin story.

When he first said that I assumed he was referring to Killmonger's origin story. That's why my answer was about America.

Then it became clear that he was referring to "How T'Challa became king" as basically another origin story. Because BP filled out that process and development in new ways.
