Arryn has no connection to the throne, which is a sizable demerit. He doesn’t seem to have any particular following outside of the Vale. Also, he’s basically hooked on morphine to control his seizures, so his life expectancy is not great. 

Nakia isn’t a revolutionary, and there’s no way to try to “ take over Wakanda in order use it’s incredible power to gain justice for an entire continent” that doesn’t end in a bloodbath.  

Nakia does everything she can. And T’Challa eventually expresses the same discomfort and acts on it. 

But I can’t think of a good reason for T’Challa to not explain it. Killmonger’s whole “I’m great because I killed Klaue” plan completely falls apart if T’Challa mentions any of Killmonger’s crimes, which he has no reason not to do. 

Okay, but now you’re moving the goalposts from “the villain is the only one to advocate for change” to “the villain is the only one who wants to violently conquer America”. 

Also, the movie’s climax hinges on the idea that people in Oakland are just itching to overthrow the US government and just need better weapons to do so, which seems like an odd thing to throw in. 

Isn’t Nakia also expressing discontent with the system? And her approach is basically the one he actually goes with. 

But T’Challa did catch Klaue, until Killmonger broke him out of prison. And Killmonger was working with Klaue. T’Challa knew all this, it should have been more relevant. 

Wasn’t the whole point of his appearance in She-Hulk to prove that he wasn’t using his powers to sleep with women? 

If I was going to criticize it I’d say that having Peter just be Gwen’s friend and having schlubby Peter not seem to especially know/care about Gwen removes a lot of the pathos of their dynamic, they’re basically just coworkers. And maybe we could have gotten a little more of the alt-spiders. But still, it’s solid. 

T’Challa basically is a US-approved right wing dictator by the end, isn’t he? He’s helping the US, he seems to be an absolute monarch, and religious combat-based monarchy sounds pretty right-wing to me.

Exactly. Compare him to Magneto. Bigoted humans threw him in a concentration camp, so when he hates other bigots it makes sense. But when he’s mad at the west, the worst thing they did was.... let him grow up without a dad in Oakland? Which presumably wasn’t a walk in the park, but we don’t have any reason to believe…

Hey, let’s be fair. He also wants to commit genocide against Chinese people, there’s diversity to his atrocities. 

. Tonally, Black Panther is closer to Lord Of The Rings or Avatar than it is to most other Marvel movies

It’s still just called Unforgiven. 

(what would the point be of a Japanese remake, in Japanese, of Unforgiven using American white people anyway?

Classic argument. “Nothing you said was racist, but I’m just going to say you’re probably racist anyway based on an unfounded hunch”, real solid logic there. It’s especially weird since that’s a pretty rare prejudice these days, it’s not like you hear a lot of racists whining about the Rock.

So you think if the Japanese Spider-Man was more successful/expensive they’d want him to be a white guy? No, of course not.

I’m not sure you know what the word pedantic means. 

Weird editorializing for the title of an article where she’s clearly wrong.
