Time for the NITPICKS!! (Just for fun)


Liked the movie, but I just can't help myself:

Shuri offers the pilot the following advice: "Make an X across your chest???" Shouldn't that be make a W across your chest? As in W for Wakanda?

People have also complained why a vegetarian tribe would have a fisherman. However, by "we" Mbaku might have meant his family only, not the entire tribe.

1 - don't remember the X thing
2 - It was a joke.

My personal nitpicks:

- Some low tier CGI at least in 2 major scenes: the people on the side of the mountain and the 2 Panthers' fighting sequence was all kinds of cartoonish.
- No time spent with the Heart-Shaped herb nor the Panther Gods
- stabs at whites as "boys" and "colonizers"
- Pacing problems.
- Killmonger is a mash of Loki and Zemo.

Agree with most of these. I thought the rhinos looked awful too. The heart shaped herb had a huge role in the movie,yet had no backstory.

reply

yeah the Rhinos weren't that good either.

Why would it be a “W”? They are literally making an “X” across their chests.

I LOVED this movie. The only nitpicks I have is some of the CGI, especially when the crew is in Korea and T’challa opens up the roof of the car. Looks really bad.

Also I didn’t like how they killed Killmonger off already. He was really my favorite character.

Nobody REALLY dies in comic books,so maybe the same with the movies too.

Some of the CGI was bad and I really think Michael B. Jordan deserved a few more scenes.

I'm trying to go for an entertaining, informative youtube channel so, if you have the time, take a look. Hope you enjoy what you see and if you have any thoughts or criticisms, i'd love to hear them. Thanks in advance. Review right here- https://youtu.be/FwPQPeEAhjg

Okay how do you know that in the Wakandian alphabet that an X isn't the W. Or in the official language of Wakanda that it isn't spelt with an X.

Just like say the n is kind of H in the cyrillic alphabet?

Also the vegetarian/fisherman issue. Doesn't mean that they eat the fish but catch them to stop the fish eating river weeds that the Jabri eat, so the fisherman in that society is essentially one step up of an exterminator. Weird but possible.
