Well I think the director had some respect for Killmonger's Black Nazi position - many of the reviewers certainly did - but I don't think that really harmed the film. Black Panther still killed the guy, and BP's respect for K seemed as much or more for K's royal bloodline as for the attractiveness of his kill-whitey ideals. I liked the film a lot.
Actually, it was more racist than I thought. It's teaching it's OK to call white folks 'colonizers'. Which is wildly inaccurate. The ones that came from Greece didn't. There were four major Empires that colonized the West, the French, the English, the Dutch and the Spanish (which apparently, somewhere along the lines became Black???) And you know what's really funny? The Irish back in the day were treated like second class citizens almost as much as the Black and Asian folks. But it's always been about the Black Americans, let's forget that the Civil Rights Act of '64 opened doors for everyone. EVERYONE.
My favorite out of the latest superhero movies was/is Ant Man. Fun. Different story than what's been done so far. (Heist flick) And it wasn't so goddamn EPIC that I felt like checking out. I haven't been interested in seeing Infinity War primarily for that reason.
Looking forward to Ant Man & The Wasp.
I liked Winter Soldier because it was closer to a spy thriller than an out and out here are the good guys, here the bad guys, FIGHT!
Although I liked Ant-Man, I have some reservations about the second film, a couple of shots in the trailer played for laughs bothered me. The main one is here, during the trailer:
For those who don't want to click, the line goes:
Paul Rudd/Scott Lang: Hold on, you gave her wings?
Michael Douglas/Hank Pym: And blasters.
SL: I take it you didn't have that tech for me.
HP: Oh no I did.
SL looks stunned at HP.
Funny, right? That's a severe lack of trust to not upgrade the suit after the guy effectively proves himself twice in effectively saving the world, and sadly, I didn't find it very amusing. And given the political tone that's going through the MCU at the moment... I don't have much more hope.
