Marvel's Black Panther Movie

Wakanda is the most technologically advanced nation but the leader is chosen via an ancient tribal duel, so technically you can rule there if youre strong and dumb.

It's about role models and creating heroes that people can relate to. Kids especially need to be able to imagine themselves as the hero of the story. Stories also provide a context for kids to understand how they fit in to the world and the social structures of a culture. In the past, the heroes were generally portrayed as white, all American boys (or men), while girls were portrayed as the damsel in distress who needed to be saved. People of colour existed on the periphery, maybe as a sidekick if they were lucky. When kids see these movies (or read books or hear stories) they put themselves in the place of the characters and learn about the world that way and how they fit in and they role play these various scenarios. Having strong women of colour being the heroes of the story provides a new kind of role model for children (and adults) to relate and aspire to.

Kids shouldn't be looking for role models in television. Switch off your tv and start talking to your children.

Quite interesting how most here who watched it in cinemas enjoyed it compared to those who didn't like it waited for the home release or a decent copy.

So if Wakanda has these fancy space ships, why haven't they visited any other planets yet?
And if the Avengers have those Quinjet flying ships then how did Bruce Banner fly one of those things across the Galaxy?
Do they have faster than light travel?

In the comics Wakanda have gone to space and established space colonies.
 
The amount of overthinking comic book logic in Black Panther is way disproportionate to other Marvel movies. Nobody ever questions how Tony Stark finds the time to secretly invent, prototype and manufacture new technology, while running a multibillion dollar corporation, while still being a superhero. What's the deal, yo?

I mean, we know what it is. :)
 
I’m still trying to figure out if they cast Andy Serkis as Ulysses Klaue or as Steve Hofmeyr?

Anyhow, it was poor to kill him off, and he is actually a German with a richer background and supervillain set than the Afrikaner the MCU made him be.

I was really surprised when he died. I assumed once the 'new' Klaw was on the scene that he would be a major villain for the MCU - so much more personality than before and full of humour. Exactly the sort of compelling villain the Black Panther franchise could do well with across numerous films, like Loki with Thor. Serkis really took the character to the next level.

My assumption was that Serkis had told the studio that he doesn't want to be an ongoing fixture in the MCU, but in interviews he also expressed disappointment with his character's fate. It makes zero sense. Maybe they didn't want a black vs. white thing going on.

As for the German background, I prefer the Afrikaner take on the character. Nice for something different, and fun for SA viewers to see.
