I finished watching the film yesterday, and it lived up to its promise!
A few extra notes :
Namor was both hero and villain, as in the comics. Good job. I look forward to see what Marvel will do with the character in the future.
I'm not sure how Wakandan politics work... I thought the Black Panther was supposed to be the king (or queen)? How can M'baku become king without challenging Shuri first? Or is the Panther-ruler a tradition only observed among the Wakandans belonging to Shuri's tribe?
Val claims to have had Ross's beads bugged from the start. How is that possible? He picked them up from the street right after Shuri was abducted, and I don't see at what point Val could have accessed them. Plus, I'm surprised that Wakandan technology could be messed with by anyone at the CIA.
The geographical position of Wakanda is still a puzzle to me. Is it landlocked or not?
Naturally we didn't want to go there, but after the Talokans attacked Wakanda and caused who knows how many civilian casualties with their water-bombs and sudden artificial floods, I'm surprised Shuri and the council didn't consider bombing the undersea kingdom. The Talokans are very vulnerable once the location of their city is known, and I shudder to think what damage a Wakandan WMD might do.
No overlong slugfest in this film (I was quite bored by the videogame battle between T'Challa and Killmonger in the first one) but I really, really, really could have done without the now clichéd "main character is dealt a seemingly mortal wound but manages to get on their feet again, do a backflip and trounce the villain" scene. For crying out loud, most of us are incapacitated when we hit our funny bone!
Aaaand... Only T'Challa Jr was able to pronounce "Toussaint" properly. (I hope we'll see him again!)
