In a post-Captain America and Iron Man MCU, Black Panther was supposed to take up the mantle for Marvel stories going forward. After all, the original 2018 movie was a phenomenon. An unfeigned breakout hit — and deservedly so. It was a testament to Ryan Coogler’s ability as a director to put to screen such visually dynamic imagery and set forth ideas and philosophies far above your typical comic book blockbuster.

Don’t be fooled by the black and white either as it was clearly an afterthought. It looks cheap, rushed, flat, and features just as much half-baked nonsense…
