Unpopular opinion: the setting, depiction of the culture of Wakanda and actors were great. I’m not missing the significance of an essentially all-black movie crushing it at the box office, and I’m really happy about that. However I thought the much-lauded antagonist was kind of one-dimensional and the plot in…

Here’s a general life hack that has served me well: when deciding whether to buy a book, when the author’s name is written in same-size or bigger letters than the title, disappointment is virtually guaranteed (exceptions may apply for reissues). It tends to indicate that the publisher is selling you the author’s brand…
