Black Panther The Official News and Speculation Thread - Part 8

So this Chinese reporter that went to the premiere spoiled few things about the post credit scene and regarding the soul stone on weibo (the chinese twitter),
I'll put everything under the spoiler tag.


[/SPOILER]

Hmm already kinda a spoiler in itself. I didn't read the tag, but I'm curious as to what the Chinese reporter thought of the movie, and more importantly, if he thinks it will have any crossover appeal.
 
excited for this love hearing the positive reactions and can't wait to see it

to those that keep complaining about the "Marvel formula" it's MCU they all connect if you don't like the "formula" then take a break but I don't see how it's exclusive to marvel

majority of movies have always had the hero fight a Mirror of himself it's so common that it really is unfair to say ah only Marvel does this

it's how the comic book were written for the most part anyway

Cant wait to get this "by the numbers" marvel movie :sly:

insanity some of the complaints some people have

Frankly, I take the ‘standard Marvel movie’ and ‘prolonged world building ‘ gripes as praising with faint criticism. You almost have to find something negative to say or you’ll be dismissed as a critic, so if these are the only fig leaves left to point at, it’s a damn good movie.

Few of her opinions on the movie,
-very impactful, wakanda looks beautiful,
-the action scenes in korea and the end are amazing
-wakadan women are stronger than men
-costumes are amazing, T'Challa's clothing looks very expensive

her reaction got around 1200 retweet on weibo, so safe to say chinese fans are excited about the movie.

just saw in the comments she mentioned that the first post-credit scene is a continuation of the movie
 
B roll footage. Lots of potential spoilers

So basically they turned Black Panther into Inspector Gadget? UH OH

Uh oh.

I was worried about that from all the gadgetry in the commercials and trailers. Never felt like the true BP.
 
The song titles and the artist for Kendrick Lamar's BP album have been released. Disappointed by the lack of Run the Jewels.

Album is lacking big time.

Where's King Fela Kuti?

Where are the Afrobeat artists?

Hell, even artists like Nas, Talib Kweli...where they at?
 
I really don't like how much CGI they've stacked on what is a street level character.

Eh, he's only a street level character in the sense Cap and Spidey are. Which is to say, he's not really a street level character.
 
Question, I'm not too familiar with Black Panther's mythology but if his costume is made completely of vibranium (the same substance used for Captain America's shield) then does that make him impervious to any and all attacks? And if that is the case, wouldn't that make him pretty much unbeatable within the MCU since Cap's shield was strong enough to withstand a blow from Thor's hammer).

Note that in the comics, vibranium does *not* have the same properties as in the movies. Its not the stuff Cap's shield is made of, nor Ultron, etc. On its own, its "merely" a metal that absorbs energy in various ways.

T'Challa's costume, post-Priest at least, has a "vibranium weave" in it, which basically grants considerable ( but *not* infinite, not nearly so ) durability against most forms of physical and energy attacks. The downside is:

1. There's usually some leak through, so big attacks may be survivable, but they still hurt

2. Sufficiently clever attacks may bypass it entirely, like properly positioned knife cuts, or energy attacks more sophisticated than "generic force blast"

Basically, the suit is a way for him to fight outside his weight class and not immediately die, mostly. He still needs skill and gadgets to turn that into actual victories.

Now, the movie version is obviously up for grabs, but it seems to mostly follow this idea. Ordinary bullets just bounce off, but serious or exotic attacks, he can't just tank on his face.
 
So Black Panther wore a cape at one point in the comics. I’m guessing we don’t get at all, even as a fan nod like when Thor wore his helmet for 2 minutes in the first movie?

Wow. Already complaining and we even heard all the song yet. Plus there ARE South African artist on there.

It's not lacking at all. Great names including African artists. This album is going to be great.

How is the king of a nation ever considered a street level character?

Thats before we get into the illuminati, Wakanda being the most advanced civilization...

I dont know where he was going with that.

I guess because he's black they assume he is a street character?
 
Saw it a couple of hours ago
Visually very impressive
Story-wise surprising at times
A very strong performance by Lupita N'yongo and Michael B. Jordan, the latter of which is playing one of Marvel's best villains to date
The music was kinda unusual for Marvel, but it worked here quite perfectly
