I don't care much for the earthbound Marvel films carrying on from the first Avengers film. Namely Ultron, Winter Soldier, and Civil War. The ones with the geopolitical consequences. The themes that should be emerging from all of these global events regarding intervention (or lack thereof) are to me, so muted, in service of an otherwise pretty bland action movie. And Falcon, Vision, Quicksilver, Scarlet Witch, and now Black Panther - all of the next wave of Avenger Pals have not done much for me. Despite their best efforts, I find them either too stoic/militaristic or forced into very flat witty sidekick roles, and what I want is an emotional core, whether thats characters just bonding or something more fundamentally motivating. Killmonger didnt suuuck, but there was so much left on the table in this regard. I thought given the nature of Wakanda and their tech that I might get something more fun akin to the cosmic Marvel films, which I enjoy, but unfortunately not. Not mad, but disappointed. Good director, good lead actors. On paper I should be more into this, but I gradually zoned out into the "noticing all the dumb poo poo about the world building" space.
