    "When the standards are so good, you can't help but double them". Great line mate
  • "Picking an Aztec for your antihero in your anticolonial tale is, well, it's a choice" is a hilarious point
  • "When a fish and a guy, breeds a child that can fly, that's Namoooore-ay!" I couldn't resist.

    Thanos *Invades Earth twice. *Kills half the Talokan population Namor: ....... Girl* invents machine Namor: "Oh, so you choose death!?"
  • "most of you have more than 3 braincells" I actually felt honoured from this statement. Thank you good sir
  • @ajmcc8038
    You missed the part where Nakia doesn't let Shuri save the female smurf guard with magical balls because if she had the plot wouldn't have moved forward with waging war
  • @HappyBeezerStudios
    Namor's plan was basically to prevent getting mugged by putting a gun to his own head and threatening the mugger to throw away their gun or he shoots.
  • I honestly think they used Bozeman's death just to fill seats. I don't doubt that his costars were saddened by the loss but this feels like "The Crow:City of Angels" all over again but with an insane budget.
  • @ExActa
    Its funny in a rather morbid sense to think about how these people in their scramble to appear inclusive and not racist end up being toxic and racist
  • Also one thing you didn't talk about that bugged the hell out of me, when Shuri and Riri escape from Not Atlantis, neither of them are wearing pressurized suits (which previously allowed them to enter Not Atlantis without being crushed due to water pressure) and they're both kinda just hanging onto the side of the pod. Going up vs going down doesn't change the fact that water pressure is water pressure and will crush you into a fine paste when you go past a certain point.

    Chadwick shouldnt be remembered for one role just because it was his most popular, he has done other roles and actions/quotes that are as much more inspiring than black panther. It makes me incredibly mad that the media AND the public only remembers him for it, the man was even visibly getting exhausted (in each photos) of doing the wakanda salutation pose with fans.

    Who doesn’t on occasion wake up and randomly want to go to war with the world? That’s like a Monday morning for me.
  • I think that one of the funniest things about Black Panther is that Richard Spencer has come out in full support of Wakanda since he too believes in the idea of a supremacist, isolationist ethno state
  • @elfireii328
    Why didnt the film decide to link tchala's death with the main plot? Have him investigate the new under water vibranium source only to be mysteriously killed by vibranium. Then have an arc where they suspect each other then tie it into namor's introduction as a character. Even put a crown on his head or something when hes introduced. Then the audience and the characters both have a reason to see naymore lose.
  • This is the kind of films that would be considered mediocre 10 years ago. But it is considered decent now a days because of how far our standards have fallen in the quality of movie making.
  • @alexman378
    Question that just popped into my head; if Namor and his people were stronger than the Conquistadors, and did beat the ones who came for their village without much of a struggle… then how come the Conquistadors still won?
  • @CausalityLoop
    On the "it was smart to burn the magic Wakandan flower", you can see the exact problem with the super soldier serum. It used to be "it only worked on Cap and the only man who could make it was killed". It gave Cap a unique quality and history. But then Disney decided that any random person could make more and now "super soldiers" are a dime a dozen and nobody cares anymore because it's just an excuse to give random schmucks with no backstory superpowers.

    How can they say Namor means without love? His mother loved him, his people love him, he is surrounded by love and he loves his home and his people. That version of the name makes no sense.
