I appreciate the effort they put into this whole design scheme.

Over/Under 1.5 the times Chesterfield ends up crying the first time he watches this movie.

Such a low number so I'd easily take the over.

Could potentially hinder him both critically (in terms of judging Jordan's performance) and as a reason why people aren't interested in seeing it.

I'm wondering if that would have been better served for the sequel or just save the costume reveal for the movie.

I still think ultimately the execution will be what matters most. Creed is many ways was a Rocky remake, but it was directed so damn well. So even if this is just a hero/villain mirror again I have faith the execution will be better than other Marvel films.

Just hope people have an open mind about it.

Man, reading your posts, it almost seems like Marvel has produced 17 flops, not hits so far.

To the discussion on the flawed and honestly extremely myopic perceptions of this movie like Wakanda is not believable or BP is only supposed to appeal to black people... I am from India where this has never been a big thing and I am bloody hyped because first and foremost I think this will be an amazingly good and cool movie. The character is great, his world is great and it would have been all of these irrespective of what color the hero and his people's skin would have been and what continent the fictional nation would have been placed at.

Those are just additions because now I am excited to learn even more about some real cultures and real people through the fictional place and story.

Also, for anybody that is interested, the trible of M'Baku in this movie are supposed to worship what they called "The Gorilla God - Hanuman".. That is straight out of Hindu Mythology as he was one of the great warriors who helped Lord Ram in his battle against the demons in the Ramayana, one of the oldest pieces of literature in the world. Like them or hate them, Marvel does amazing stuff and its nice that they find a way to incorporate this much of actual ancient mythology from different parts of the world into their story telling. I believe DC Comics has such rich history and characters too but unfortunately, outside of WW and her Greek God connections, the movies have not explored it in more detail. Hopefully their forthcoming movies do that too.

Just saw a Jimmy Kimmel promo special.

They called it Wakanda Week. So I guess more guests are going to be on the show this week.

Wakanda Week on @JimmyKimmelLive all next week.

Might have to watch Kimmel next week since it's "Wakanda Week" on his show with the cast from Black Panther.

Mate, I've been crying since 2014!

Just checked out the Jimmy Kimmel Live! schedule website; Chadwick Boseman is due for Monday night as the 'main' guest (probably gonna touch upon the newly-released reviews), then Danai Gurira on Wednesday as aforementioned (second guest), and Lupita Nyong'o is the 'main' guest for Thursday. Friday is officially "TBD".

I saw Daniel Kaluuya on one of the late night talk shows last week (Colbert's thing, I think) but he wasn't on for Black Panther.

If Boseman's the guest Monday Night I assume that Kimmel may have seen the movie already.

There's been nothing confirmed but do you think they'll screen the movie tomorrow for select critics and media?

Sometimes a movie screens before its premiere.

 

[Melpardus]

If reviews come out on Monday, when will that screening air? If so, I assume Fallon and others would see the movie then.

Its Monday at 7 I believe.

He's not on the guest list so I think he gets a screening either tomorrow or early Monday.

Stan probably showing up for his post credit scene, lol.

I wonder if Stan Lee shows up.

Kimmel doesn't do new shows on Friday so the TBD is them likely waiting to release which rerun they'll be showing that day.

If Boseman's the guest Monday Night I assume that Kimmel may have seen the movie already.

Sometimes a movie screens before its premiere.

Since Marvel typically holds their premieres just down the street from Kimmel's studio, Boseman will likely be headed for or just back from the premiere.

On the subject of the actual movie.......

Will Klaue or Kilmonger likely survive this movie or will we see then killed off like so many adversaries? I am still forlornly hoping for some kind of villain team-up and there is still after 17 movies hardly a half dozen left alive.

Have Jordan or Serkis hinted at a return?

I hope Klaue appears to "die" in this film, much like he did at the end for FF53 - and then returns in the future as the Sonic villainous master of sound KLAW as in FF 56!

I'm sure that's part of the reason why they got Andy Serkis for the role in the first place. The real question is whether he'd look like a brightly colored human-shaped wax figure.

If they don't go that route and he's just killed off that would be a complete waste of Andy Serkis.

Making him Master of Sound Klaw is the best way to go.

I've gotta say, not to get into the whole tech-y debate, but of all the Wakandan groups I am loving the look of that mountain tribe a lot more than the others.

It's not a tech thing, just an "African" thing, wish there was a bit more of a leaning into the cool African imagery (while retaining all the tech stuff - goes for the city itself too, I'm just not loving all that shiney-glass-skyscraper stuff). Sounds sort of cheesy to say, but I was hopong for like...I don't know, Coming To America played serious or whatever. We're getting some of that, and what we are getting is awesome. Just wish there was a little more of how Whittaker's & Bassett's characters look, as opposed to all the shiney metallic armor/clothing stuff.

Nitpicks, though.

Also haven't gone back to look over the last version of this thread, what's the flashback stuff people are mentioning? Klaue's first encounter in-country before Age Of Ultron? That sounds pretty sweet.

It would be great if they went all out and showed him in his final form. Plus he would be more formidable as a being composed of "solidified sound" rather than a guy with a weapon for a hand.

Spoiler

Sounds like there's going to be a flashback to T'Challa's childhood, mainly due to them hiring John Kani's son, who'll be playing a younger version of T'Chaka.

Also, first impressions/reactions are two days away. Anxiety rising.

Anxiety?

This is Marvel. There is nothing to worry about. BP will be just fine.
