Abrams: “Mystery box, that’s why!” followed by a surprisingly long and eloquent string of sexual conquests perpetrated against the interviewer’s mother.

Possibly, in the same way running around in the snow naked is going to exacerbate a cold. It’s not the root of the problem. You could remove all the violence from pop culture, and there would still be mass shootings in America.

Because in the 70s and 80s, the psycho faction of the NRA, which until that point had been all about education programs and responsible gun control, took over the group and turned it into a lobbying firm that created the line that the “well-regulated militia” bit didn’t mean anything, all the way to the point where in…

...and look how he turned out.

“Fasty McFastface”

I don’t think he ever saw the light. He burned the heart-shaped herbs. Killmonger wanted to be the last king of Wakanda, ever, and his last words were just spite in the face of T’Challa. He was religious in his goals, and if he had lived, would just have tried to do the same thing over and over again until he died.

Babs is living on her own for the first time just as a new vigilante takes to Gotham: Huntress, who has no compulsion against killing criminals. Out of curiosity, Babs starts following and researching Huntress, only to get caught in a dangerous melee/shootout between Huntress and, let’s say Harley Quinn. She barely…

These teens have nothing to lose from asking the hard questions. Same as the Daily Show in the past. They don’t care if they’re banned from an office, or they lose a source.

Peele had that as his original ending when he wrote it back in the Obama years.

Killmonger’s plan:

Well, it worked so far...

That’s not the only way to overcome oppression.

He didn’t. He never, ever said anything remotely like that. He was authorizing Wakandan spies to use lethal force to overthrow democratically-elected governments.

Killmonger doesn’t love Wakanda. He hates it. He literally teams up with their greatest enemy to kill their king and launch the country into a never-ending global war of spite. As I’d hoped the Trump election had taught us, seething rage makes people make very, very, very bad decisions.

Well Wakanda is supposed to be made of 5-6 different (color-coded) tribes. I know nothing about the nuances of African design, but from articles, it seems like they did a good job of assigning each one a different culture and sticking to it.

To be fair, the Trump Winery has kept on their winemaker from when it was still Kluge Winery, and their plonk is not too shabby. The sparkling wines, espcially the sparkling rose, are above par.

I also found comparison with Hellboy 2, especially in the part where Hellboy and the exiled Prince of a lost civilization have a duel for the right to command a world-conquering armada, and you really feel sympathy for the bad guy’s cause, even though his plans must be stopped.

I figured they jammed him in to give the movie a flashy Star Wars aerial battle, which no Marvel movie can be without.

I thought Ragnarok and Black Panther are kind of brother films. One deals with a privileged son dealing with his culture’s violent and oppressive colonial past, in the form of his dead dad and a long-lost relative obsessed with murder. The other deals with a privileged son dealing with his culture’s isolation and…

Why bother? In 15 years, when they need to make another movie about the characters during the same time period to keep the fans sated (Solo: The Early Years 2: Part 3: The Stuff That Happened Before Solo: The Early Years 3 But After The Early Years 2: Part 2) they’ll just rewrite the continuity again.
