Black Panther

Going to watch Black Panther on a) a Saturday, and also b) a public holiday is never a great idea.

• I'm glad the cold open kinda answered my question as to whether T'Chaka was also Black Panther back in his day. I mean, he has to be, right?
• Sterling K. Brown was only in the movie for like 10 minutes tops. I wonder if he was there for half a day or longer.
• This is the most people have seen Lupita Nyong'o in these franchise movies. She wasn't in the Star Wars movies for quite that long. 
• I totally would not mind having those Wakandan ships to get around.. Also, the upgraded Black Panther suit is pretty badass.
• I missed the second challenge fight to go to the loo. I don't think I missed anything besides Forest Whitaker's character's death.
• How did Michael B. Jordan get away with not having to put on an African accent, besides that he's playing T'Challa's American cousin?
• The Dora Milaje are badasses. 
• Martin Freeman's American accent is not bad, and also not the deep growl-y version that Hugh Laurie, Benedict Cumberbatch and Dan Stevens use for theirs. Also the most action any of these side characters get in the MCU besides Coulson. 
• As far as MCU villains go, Killmonger's not one of the worst. 
• Andy Serkis is quite a hoot when not in a MoCap suit. 
• Something about this movie kinda seems Shakespearean to me. Or like English history where the king always has to fight off claimants to his throne, etc.
• Don't tell me that heart shaped herb is a one time ingestion thing. Doesn't it get passed out? 
• So if the heart shaped herb supply went up in flames.. how lah?
• If the movie was set after Civil War, technically Cap would also still be in Wakanda with Bucky? 

It's entertaining enough. Go watch it if you want to.
