That part is something I still don’t understand. I thought someone could (symbolically or actually) challenge for the throne during the ceremony after the previous king died, which Killmonger wasn’t around for. But after that, doesn’t the window of opportunity close? But since T’Challa acquiesced, I guess it doesn’t…

I re-watched Civil War after seeing Black Panther, and I couldn’t believe how condescending Black Widow and others were to the Wakandans. I’d love to see Okoye kick their butts for it in Infinity War, although I know that won’t really happen.

This was one of the tensest scenes in the movie. The actress did a good job with no dialogue. Unfortunately, I didn’t have the same emotional reaction to Rose, who had the much larger role. And I don’t know why - I don’t dislike the character or her plot arc per se, butit just all felt flat to me.

I was planning to pass anyway, as the trailers left me cold. People who wanted to like it would point out the Van Halen “Jump!” right as King Kong jumps on a building. Really? THAT’S what makes you think this movie would be good? Because a monkey jumps right when Van Halen says “Jump”? Even though I’m old enough to…

I love a good Calvin and Hobbes reference.

Any scene that gives us more Okoye should be kept in! I would have preferred they cut out/down some of the action scenes instead. Side note: did anyone catch when Killmonger is declared king and all the people including the Dora Milaje do the cross-armed salute to him — Okoye does NOT!

But Russians are white, so they’re ok now.

Or they’ll blame the democrats for making fools out of them.

Tony Stark is the best/most successful Marvel villain, because he convinced people he is a hero.

“Perhaps a proper military endevour by Wakanda against the world could’ve been a valid solution”

This was my recollection as well. It was T’Challa and Nakia that had the right idea — they NEEDED to help and stop being isolationist, but bombing people you hate is not the best way to help. Wakanda is the most advanced, powerful nation on earth— so should they go out and start bombing people they hate? Or should…

I would never presume to open my wife’s mail.

Yeah, a lot of Americans don’t know the difference between the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence.

The best bet is a reputable breeder. For example, if the breed tends to hip dysplasia, the breeder should have had his dogs x-rayed and rated by the OFA. There’s no guarantee of course, but it’s the best way to lower the odds of your dog developing hip dysplasia.

What made me laugh is “The stunts are real!” — um, aren’t ALL stunts real? Isn’t that the definition of “stunt” (as opposed to CGI)? Are they saying there are stunts out there that aren’t real? But I find Tom Cruise movies unintentionally funny anyway. I love watching him run in heels, and the face he makes when he’s…

I did like both Rogue One and Ant Man. Hopefully Solo will be similarly good, but the trailer didn’t assure me of that.

It’s not just “lighting,” it’s the desaturated grey-ness that pervades every scene that makes the movie look depressing. This is a large part of why the DC movie were so bad. Plus, they are deliberately hiding the main character - you know, the guy the movie is named after. That does not bode well at all. The chase…

Is this movie in black and white? It has that colorless, washed out look like the worst of the DC movies. Is that a trick to make crappy CGI less noticeable? Maybe it’s just me, but I don’t think a Han Solo movie should have that dreary grey look throughout. Plus, the stench of failure is all over this movie.

Possibly unflavored soy milk.

Yeah, this movie already had the stench of failure surrounding it, so they needed a trailer that would really excite people and reassure them it’s gonna be great. But NOPE — hiding the main character only reinforces the stench of failure. I’ve got a very bad feeling about this one. Unless it tops 90% on Rottentomatoes…
