I have a feeling this won't be as good as Blade and Django Unchained. Being a part of the MCU hurts its quality IMO. It will probably be mediocre at best, and that is a shame.

Lumpy the Cook posted:Martin Freeman's character and his whole subplot kinda ruined this movie singlehandedly for me. I mean, in light of the MANY instances of CIA interference throughout Africa in the last several decades- from coups in Ghana and the Congo, to their involvement in French oppression in Algeria, to their presence in Chad and Angola in the 80s, to the assistance they provided in identifying, capturing and imprisoning dissenters for the South African government in the Apartheid era, and even up to their more recent involvement in arming and training 'moderate rebels' in Libya who went on to destroy the country and turn it into a terrorist-funding slave market where black Africans are being kidnapped, rounded up and sold into slavery literally right now- (oh, not to mention all that work they did gathering intelligence and assisting the FBI against the actual Black Panther Party in America!) it seems really weird and distasteful for Disney and Marvel to put out a fanciful and benevolent portrayal of the CIA's presence in Africa. The IC would have called the Black Panther movie Russian propaganda if it didn't portray the CIA in a positive light; indeed, that would have hurt maximum box office results, so Disney obliged.
