Lmao what was your problem with Black Panther and Homecoming???

well, The movie itself wasnt bad, was simple and kinda underwhelming in my opinion, it was over hyped. The problem I have with Black Panther for me is T’Challa.

I was so hype for the guy in Civil War, I was fuck yeah this dude is going to be amazing. but then I was disappointed. and here is why, In my opinion he was very hypocrite. He spent the whole movie seeking revenge because the winter soldier killed his father, but when he sees that zemo also wanted revenge because the avengers killed his family, he suddenly change his mind??? why?? dude! you were like him just a minute before… and in that scene nothing happened for you to change your mind other than seeing yourself in this dude, the logic path would have been going after the avengers because they killed this man’s family that caused your father’s death.

but okay, I couldnt judge him with only one movie, so I waited for Black Panther, and was nervous because all the reviews said it was amazing, that was weird, nothing bad? not a single critic? no movie is perfect.

the movie was okay. Wakanda was amazing, everything about wakanda was great, architecture, clothes, culture. I loved Wakanda so much that i was sad when they leave to Korea, I was “no please, stay in wakanda i want to see more!”. I loved Shuri so much! I was smiling every time she was on screen! and Okoye! she was amazing and fun and did you see her rock that dress???! I even liked the gorilla people of the mountains! and Killmonger was such a cool villain! but this is the MCU, of course they are going to waste him.

again, the problem I had wasnt about Black Panther the movie, but with Black Panther the character. he didnt change from civil war, how old is he? sometimes he acts like a responsible adult and king and others like a silly teenager?? he was the whole movie saying that wakanda must stay hidden and then he decides to open to the world? you know you are putting your people at risk?? I was so happy when Thanos snap him outta existence! because it means that now Shuri is the Queen, Shuri is now the Black Panther! Good Job Thanos.

In other hand, Im not Black nor from the USA, so it didnt had the same impact culturally for me, but I understand its importance, Black Panther for you wasnt just a movie, it was an event, an statement, a movement, and its great, I really hope this movie opens the door for more black talent in Hollywood. but for others countries, who doesnt have the same reality as USA, Black Panther was just another marvel movie, and most of the people I know went to see it because was the last movie before infinity war. most people I know went to see it because the soul stone had a high chance to be there, Black Panther was just another chapter in the infinity gauntlet story.

and for Homecoming the answer is simple, I dont like Peter Parker that much, and I didnt like the fact they took so much from Miles Morales and give it to Peter… dude, your boy Peter has a lot of story to take from, dont steal Miles’ friend… and that “Flash” it was so obvious he was supposed to be Harry Osborn, and whats with all the fake bullying? dude, both of you are fucking nerds, stop, this doesnt make sense! and I was kinda disappointed that, even with this so amazingly diverse school, didnt see some characters pop in the background like lets say, Gwen Stacy, Miles Morales, Kamala Khan, Amadeus Cho, Robbie Reyes, Cindy Moon, Ava Ayala, America Chavez, Teddy Altman, and even with some time travel/magic you can have Billy Kaplan and Tommy Shepher…

Im not saying giving them a casting or a line, but a teacher could have dropped some names as a neat easter egg, you could have Kamala introduced here to hype Captain Marvel even more, you can have Miles, Gwen and Cindy all get their powers in the same incident with Peter, you can have Amadeus since him mom already show up in Ultron, and with that you can introduce a new Hulk

Other than Peter not being my favorite character, the movie missed so many opportunities to build the MCU…. and the movie at times was so damn boring, most of the people were using their phones and i didnt care, I enjoyed seeing the nudes the guy front of me received.

I think another thing it helped was I dont like comics focused in one character, Im more of a team guy, I love reading about relationships between members, either if they are romantic or just friends, and how that relationships have a weight in the story and affect it, Thats why I dont like Batman but I love the batfamily. or I dont like Wolverine, but I love his kids so much. I love teams so much, I love Young Justice, The Runaways, Young Avengers, Teen Titans, Titans, The Justice League, Justice Society, CW’s Legends of Tomorrow, Power Rangers, and the list goes on. I love Teams and Interactions.

in conclusion, did I hate the movies? no. did I had problems with them? yes. Im I saying the movies were bad and no one should like them? fuck no! who the fuck am i to tell you what to enjoy? if you like it, go you! Im really happy for you. the movies just were bad for me.
