Review of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (2022) by Rudya — 11 Nov 2022

I'm not going to waste my time to write an entire essay or summary but here are some random things that I noticed:

Disney already faced backlash for constantly making their female characters the "most powerful ever" (Scarlet Witch, Captain Marvel, Rey Skywalker). Well, they didn't learn anything because they did it again calling Shuri literally the most powerful leader of the most powerful nation. She is also unrealistically intelligent and she knows almost everything about any topic which is an issue with many characters in the MCU (Tom Holland's version of Peter Parker). Classic overcompensation.

They introduce a black girl "Riri Williams" who's also unrealistically intelligent and she is a new anime version of new Iron Man. It's also perfectly normal to bomb the police according to this movie... Or cross the Atlantic Ocean on the back of a Killer Whale in a matter of hours.

Julia Louis-Dreyfus (Elaine from Seinfeld) shows up in an unresolved plot and is dressed like a gender studies professor with purple hair. It reminded me of Holdo from The Last Jedi... and again: Disney didn't learn anything.

The movie is racist because it constantly calls white people colonizers but it's not funny like it was in the previous movie. I sense some actual resentment this time.

It's still weird to me to see a group of black people dressed like gorillas and acting like apes.

The movie is almost entirely Green Screen and the actors stick out like a sore thumb with blurry masked out edges around them.

The story is about mourning and the result is a depressing experience at the cinema instead of an inspiring and uplifting one like Top Gun Maverick.

It's a bitter and boring Woke chick flick that lacks male energy.
