@zetti777: I don't know about any of that.
Whatever it is, I'll wait and see.

Lawyers always say they're “confident”,
even when they're being eaten by a shark.

It's a psychologial trick to make you believe their stance has more merit than it does.
It means nothing and is a lie half the time.

@thecupidstunts: Maybe not, but at least at the federal level when it goes up, it rarely if ever comes down again.

@moranar: Yeah, for every country. Whether the equivalent is called the “federal” level or not.

It's good
but really something that should be handled at the federal level.

I've been casually following this game for a while now,
and my scam-dar is going crazy.

@gatsbythepig: Well that's very nice of you to say.

@mogan: I didn't mean constitutional Free Speech.
I just meant the ability to speak freely.

And the reason they're choosing to handle everything this way,
is because the whole company is marinated in radical leftist
ideology ever since GameSpot was bought by Red Ventures (yes actual name),
only hires people who agree with them politically,
and uses a gaming website as a platform to push their own politics.

And yet still somehow deny it
even when hit pieces against their political enemies litter their own home page.

You forgot to remove our free speech on this article.
Might want to get on that
before someone broaches a forbidden topic or says something true.

First film: 7/10 (would've been 8 if not for terrible fight scene at the end)
Second film: 6/10

--SPOILERS--
When a film is really trying to take itself seriously,
but just has so many problems and holes that it becomes impossible,
especially if it's a big or culturally significant film
I'm someone who has to write out all the problems with it in text form,
otherwise they swim around in my brain annoying me for way too long.
But first I should say I think Letitia Wright (Shuri) is a great actress and did her job fantastically in the film. As did Angela Bassett (Queen Ramonda).
In general though, the film is a bit of a mess, feeling as directionless and leaderless as Wakanda itself.
So here's the list I made on Thursday after watching the film:

• The title of the film itself is just kind of vague and laclustre, and doesn't really tell you anything about what to expect. It feels like the kind of title you use when you're making up a story to fill a movie, not making a movie to tell a story.
• The sub-plot with Valentina and Everett Ross (Martin Freeman) adds nothing to the film. You could just take it out in its entirity and lose nothing. Valentina in particular has absolutely no screen prescence and is impossible to take seriously.
• All the Wakandan vehicles explode exactly the same way IRL petroleum-based vehicles do.
• For what possible reason would you fill a handheld explosive device with water? It's just one example of dozens where they choose visuals over making sense.
• As soon as you learn Namor was a victim of colonisation, you immediately know that he's ultimately not going to be a bad guy, he's not going to do anything terrible, and that by the end he's going to inevitably turn into a good guy, because anyone that's been colonised is potentially misunderstood but ultimately benevolent. It's predictable and makes him a very weak antagonist. He's not scary, and there isn't even any point in the film where it really feels like he's delibetately trying to kill anyone. With him as leader, the whole conflict feels completely manufactured. At least we got jabs in at France and Spain though and that's what counts.
• At the UN Security Council, or whatever that meeting is supposed to be, ~20 soldiers just casually walk into the room unimpeded. Half of them armed. That's not how security councils work.
• Namor's tiny little pigeon wings on his feet are the dumbest thing in the whole film. Why are they there? What sense do feathers make underwater? How can they lift him? I never knew that the midway point between human and fish, was chicken. They add a level of goof to the film that's hard to overcome.
• Why would Namor want his kingdom and Wakanda to “strike first” against the surface if they were in an alliance together? The rest of the world would pose no threat to them whatsoever. Shuri should have said, “Well how about, you can attack any country that attacks you first?” Instead she says something uncharacteristically angry and emotional so that Namor can get triggered and the audience can stop thinking about how little sense this scene is making.
• It's a suspiciously happy coincidence that “the scientist” (who's really more of an engineer) happens to be a black female. The odds of that are like <0.1%, never mind in a film where almost every central character is also a black female.
• Why would Riri (scientist girl) have the skill to make an Iron Man suit by herself but not make any modifications to her car (her vehicle and means of escape) whatsoever?
• Why do the Wakandans not use any of their technology on their soldiers? The Wakandans (and the underwater people) have incredible technology when the movie suits it, then are completely helpless when the movie changes its mind. The entire film makes no sense because of this. They mastered anti-gravity technology years ago, yet when their very existence is on the line, they insist on fighting wth wooden sticks. And yet Shuri pulls technological marvels out of nowhere any time she wants. This bipolar Wakanda was also a problem in Endgame, but is more obvious here.
• The suit designs in this film look terrible. They look like they're from Saturday-morning Power Rangers circa 1998.
• Wakandan sci-fi hyper-tech anti-gravity ships have a part in them, which when you stick a spear in it, the ship absolutely obliterates itself into a thousand pieces a few seconds later.
• The part where Killmonger and the cameraman walk around Shuri again and again in a tight circle dumping exposition on her for a minute and a half, is really cliché and pretty cringe.
• Shuri sees Killmonger and not her ancestors when she drinks the herb. She's disappointed and angry not to see them, but says nothing about the fact that she, an atheist, has just first-hand witnessed the existence of the afterlife. It's like she doesn't even care.
• The film can't explain how Shuri and Namor are able to talk to each other underwater, so doesn't bother trying.
• The T'Challa funeral sequence is kind of ruined by the goofy UFO-style coffin lift at the end. Maybe give the ancient funeral ritual a little time to breathe before you suck him up into the sky like a vacuum cleaner.
• Nakia (Lupita Nyong'o) could have just told Shuri about her nephew any time during the film. Any reason she wouldn't have is negated by the fact that she told the queen.
• Why are the underwater people only sometimes able to shake off otherwise lethal wounds?
• Namor has been a warrior for hundreds of years and Shuri has literally never fought before, and yet they fight equally for some reason.
• Namor's incredible strength + vibranium spear is unable to break a window, and yet their little water bombs can.
• Namor's spear, with the exception of the tip, is made of wood. Wood. His spear that he uses to cut aircraft in half is made of wood. He lives underwater, btw. Wood.
• Now matter how strong it is, you can't cut an aircraft in half (i.e. two metres of steel) when your spear tip is only 2-3 inches long.
• The underwater people's skin goes blue... above water... and looks normal... under water... Are you sure it's not supposed to be the other way around?
• Shuri says on more than one occasion that she saw an “underwater empire”. What she actually saw would be more accurately described as an underwater town.
• M'Baku's character completely changes from the first half of the film to the second. When Shuri wants peace, he wants death, then when Shuri wants death, he suddenly wants peace. They just flipped his character half-way through because they wanted to make him king later and realised he wouldn't make a very good one as is.
• I get that one Wakandan super-herb is on land and the other is underwater, but the new one makes you unable to use your lungs? It actually disables you? That's just...... yeah...
• Namor kindapped Shuri and people got killed in the process. Then he was completely shocked when the Wakandans kindapped her right back and someone got killed in the process. He totally lost his s***. This guy is hundreds of years old and he never saw a rescue attempt coming?
• After the reverse-kidapping, Namor flies into a rage, formally declaring war on Wakanda. Then he comes up to the surface to tell the Wakandans to prepare for war...... next week. Huh? Why? So the film can have a break before the third act. That's not how rage works.
• The Wakandans have the most advanced aircraft in the world and yet if they want to shoot anything with it, it seems they have to resort to “eyeballing it”. They have the technology to hide an entire country in plain sight, but can't build a computer to hit a target 50m away. It's that Star Wars problem again.
• The underwater people are so affected by the sonar pulses coming from the ship that Namor tells them to get out of the water entirely. But then one of them, the woman, just casually swims up to it no problem and is jabbing it with her spear in two separate scenes.
• It's like there's a message hidden in there somewhere about the importance of consevatism and holding on to old values even when they logically seem obsolete... but it never has a conclusion. Shuri ignores the majority of the wisdom of her ancestors and mother, and everything still works out pretty much as she wanted. At least when it doesn't, it's not because she abandoned her culture's traditional values; it's just bad luck.
