Just got back from black panther and wanted to see what everyone else thinks! I personally loved it and I definitely think it had one of the better marvel villains cinematic wise. What do you guys think?
My only complaint is the "death" scene. It had no impact because he wasn't going to die so the only question was when and how he'll be back. The audience was not buying that he was dead an hour into his own movie.
Along the lines of that, it didn’t even remotely cross my mind that he was dead because not only as you pointed out was it so early, but he was in the Avengers Infinity War trailer so most of the audience knew he would live. On that regard I was a little disappointed in Dinsey since they are usually very careful with spoilers in trailers and especially with marvel. For instance *Thor Ragnarok Spoiler Incoming* in the Thor trailer when Thor is all charged up, he appears with 2 eyes but obviously in the movie this is not the case, but my point being that they went to lengths to hide that Thor loses an eye and I just don’t get why they couldn’t wait until trailer 2 for Infinity War to show T’Challa
I absolutely loved Black Panther on so many levels. The acting and visual effects were fabulous as was the soundtrack. The tension around Wakanda staying hidden vs. helping to undo the negative longstanding effects of colonization and slavery for Black people was very well done and made the villain a deeper character than other Marvel villains. Ironically, my daughter’s class is doing a unit on “explorers” so the topic of colonization is timely and something we can talk about after I take her to see the movie.
Are you going again but this time with your daughter?
Actors: I thought everyone was very well cast. I did not recognize Michonne without hair though, I don't think I'm good with faces. Anyone else think there might have been some brief chemistry between the little sister and Bucky?
Not so great things: What is up with Marvel and the villain of the week? Besides Thanos, who has really only been vaguely featured in Guardians, and Loki (who is now a fan fav), why can't any villains survive and show up again?
How fantastically fun was Killmonger? Why couldn't he live to pester our heroes another day? And did Marvel seriously not want to give Michael B. Jordan a chance to return in the future? This isn't just a problem with Black Panther though, it shows up in most Marvel movies. While I don't want Marvel to go into Batman territory (seriously Batman, how many lives would you save by just killing the Joker instead of sending him to jail time and again? Though I can't just blame Batman for that, that is most comics). But would it really kill Marvel to have a few villains escape to fight another day?
Yes absolutely! We are going tomorrow. She is just shy of 10 so I usually try and watch some movies before I take her if there aren’t a lot of reviews out.

What did she think? And did u think it was better or worse the 2nd time?
WDW can't use Black Panther but it would be nice to see elsewhere. Black Panther is meeting in DCA.WOW. $201 million weekend.
In 4 days, Black Panther is going to make more than the entire run of Justice League. Amazing.
Anybody ready for Wakanda Land? I can see WDI green-lighting the Armored Rhino attraction already.
Black Panther is part of the Avengers and cannot be used in WDW.Saw is Sunday 1pm on IMAX ATMOS with the wife and we both really liked it and will see it again with my son today (Monday) since he is off school today.
Is the Black Panther part of the Avengers (aka the Universal deal)? If not they should get it in the parks asap (Star Tours overlay after 2020) the should have the Black Panther and his little sister (a Disney Princess) for meet and greets.
