It was so great. I want to see it again right now.
And yes, I wish ita could see it so much.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
My only complaint was that it was a little overstuffed! There were a bunch of characters I wanted to spend more time with!

I'm also trying to figure out when/how the postcredits scene from Civil War fits into the narrative!

I feel like it had to happen after the events of Black Panther. At least, I can rationalize that in my head.
Also, SHURI IS THE BEST. I mean, all the women were so amazing, but Shuri stole my heart.
And damn, Michael B. Jordan is hot.
My one big question, having never read the Black Panther comics is: given that the rest of the planet thinks Wakanda is a third-world country, how does Wakanda's economy work? I mean, I understand that vibranium allowed the country to become so technologically advanced, but the country can't have been engaging in any kind of significant global trade, so how does T'Challa/Wakanda have the money to buy 3 buildings in Oakland at the end of the movie (among other things)? (And I ask that while admitting entirely that I have a shamefully poor grasp of global economics in general. The answer might be really obvious, but it eludes me, partly because of my own lack of knowledge.) It doesn't seem like Wakanda has been selling vibranium, which would have been an obvious answer to How Does Wakanda Have Money, but maybe they were, and that is the answer and I missed it.

Wait, no. I think it happens before Black Panther, because when they brought Everett Ross to Wakanda, Shuri says something about having *amother* broken white man to fix, which I guess means that Bucky was already there?
Also, I am totally on Team Bucky's Manbun.

In conclusion (for now): WAR RHINOS oh my god!

I think Shuri worked on/fixed him before the events of the film, but was in recovery, and the postcredits scene was after the BP action

Hmmm. I could see that, too. It's a weird timeline.

My guess? Steve and Bucky were hiding in the trunk of T'Challa's flying car at the beginning of the film.

So, 2 years ago we were talking about the potential for Bucky to have a manbun (I don't remember being so staunchly Team Headband, but apparently I was) (I have come around to Team Manbun): P.M. Marc "Marvel Universe: Infinite Chrises" May 9, 2016 8:40:39 am PDT. I'm just amused.
