When I was in the restroom after Black Panther, I ended up talking about it with an African American woman who I didn't know. She said it was the first movie she could remember that she wanted to pay to see in the theater a second time.
Mal: Well, you were right about this being a bad idea. Zoe: Thanks for sayin', sir.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
In between the first and second post-credit scene, I turned to my cousin and said, "Don't they still have Bucky?"

Just read about the White Wolf in Marvel canon! OMG! There must now be a training montage of Bucky vs the Dora, with Steve on the sidelines drooling until he gets invited in, and the bad guys learning that the "newly" tech savvy Wakanda has the Winter Soldier in its loyal arsenal and crapping their pants.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Two random Black Panther thoughts:
- My favorite thing about Okoye is that she has fun. Even in a movie where there are enough women that each one doesn't have to be Every Woman, it's so great that the general isn't just deadpan and serious at all times.
- How awesome that young T'Chaka AND young Zuri are played by the other actors' sons? (I was really wondering how they got that guy's eyes to look just like Forrest Whitaker's.)

PLOT TWIST: Denzel Whitaker is not actually Forrest's son, wtf. [link]

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Yeah, for young T'Chaka, for a couple of minutes I was wondering John Kani (the actor for old T'Chaka) got the de-aging technique that made Michael Douglas look so fucking creepy in the flashback in Ant-Man.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
This is amusing. [link]

Does Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. have any pretense at all any more of being in the movie universe? You would think that Tony or someone would notice if Phil Coulson were at the top of the Most Wanted List.
