Watched it twice yesterday, and still came out with mixed feelings both times. I feel like some of the praise the movie’s got so far were very slightly over the top, but that’s not to say the movie was good.

You’re so credits you don’t even know

“Canto Bight, baby! Canto Bright!”

I feel it’s very relevant to this article that one should be wary about how Feige’s McMovie approach to filmmaking have been a playground to libertarian capitalists, ‘benevolent’ fascists, and centrist politics that could ruin the delicate issue of making a movie about politics in a black society.

So you wish they went with the design of a westernized capitalist safe-haven catering to wealthy Europeans instead of a futuristic isolationist black enclave?

You should have left him in the grays. :(

And Dubai is super opulence created out of nothing in the last few decades. Wakanda is supposed to be an uninterrupted civilization going back thousands of years, so their cities are a mix of old and new. And who’s to criticize how they dress? Besides being free of outside influence, it’s not like a 1915 Brooklyn…

Yes. That is exactly why. When playing field has been slanted 90/10 in your favor, 80/20 seem horribly, horribly unfair to you.

That’s a big reach to make a non-point. It’s a quick joke she makes at Black Panther’s recent habit of bringing injured outsiders in. And the magic she uses is technology.

Kind of ironic that in America we all think of the riches of Dubai, but the reason they made themselves the Middle Eastern Playground for the super rich is because they dont have much oil like the rest of the UAE. They are actually the poorest of the Emirates. After the market crash in 2008 Abu Dhabi actually had to…

I also like to make bad faith assumptions on the internet.

“ ...instead of this hyperfuturistic African society where people still dress like a Zulu-esque society while carrying laser weapons.”

You clearly lacking in moral instruction from some source.

That very good analysis. Me think Star Wars have similar problem, but with legitimate non-canon side stories. There were dozens of novels dealing with further adventures of Luke/Han/Leia (spoiler: in nearly every single one, new evil rises that had been conveniently sidelined during previous adventures, and then our…

As me already pointed out in previous comment, there enormous difference between having lot of historically over-represented people (white guys!) on show, and having lot of historically under-represented people on show. In fact, those pretty much opposite things from each other.

I think a lot of people are angry that the show’s upset their headcanon - they had this whole thing built up around the battle of Axanar, as mentioned in one episode of TOS, and widely assumed to be part of prior war against the Klingons. There’s a half-dozen depictions of the battle in RPGs, novels and such and in…

The question now is will they be able to craft a better show without the basic framework of Bryan Fuller’s original storyline. Because I really wouldn’t be surprised that the basic beats of this season were all laid out by him. So did they shackle themselves to this, but didn’t have the vision to make it work the way…

Thank you! Me sick of fans who came into Disco with axe to grind insisting it not hold up against perfect, flawless gems that are previous iterations of Star Trek. We love Trek, but even best of it is plagued by bad writing, cheesy overacting, and wild inconsistency. That we love it anyway is testament to how strong…

“I wonder if Lorca found anything useful in this universe?”

Kinjamprove. Install it and use it. I don’t see monkey boy’s comments at all. All I see is “This user is blocked with Kinjamprove.” I can only guess what nonsense he posts.
