Re: 1/6: Hot Toys - MMS4?? - Black Panther - New Black Panther Figure
Not really a gripe with the film since I know it was a stylistic direction to make the supporting cast more central to the plot, but this movie did nothing to show you that Black Panther is a genius. His sister was the smart one and Panther questioned himself alot of the way. He's a character in comics famous for being a step ahead of his enemies, but he was unremarkable in this movie in that regard. One little thing they could have done to show this and not even have to change the plot is to have Panther foresee that Klaw was setting him up in S. Korea. They still would have had Killmonger showing up be a total surprise since he came out of left field. But yes, Panther's genius was neglected.
Also after seeing the cap movies, I was surprised how grounded the hand to hand fighting was. In the casino, T'challa punched guys 007 style and they were ok. If cap had him them like that they'd go flying through walls, probably dead.
Now, this is a complaint: I didn't like how easily the dude from get out turned on T'challa. Why would T'Challa just say Klaw slipped through his fingers. Just say someone interfered and rescued Klaw and that the cia was there. I just feel like that was written lazily.
I still love this movie easy 8.5 out of 10

He did say that he designed his own Panther suit (The one he used in beginning of the movie and CW) But you are right that they made Shuri the brains of the operation.
He's young still and coming into his own, and it gives him room to progress nicely given the pace of these movies. Plus he already get's a lot of flack for being similar to batman (personally, I hate that comparison), it's probably for the best that he has has an entourage of allies to rely on rather than being technically self sufficient. I don't think it was forcibly implied, but I do get the impression that he is a tactical genius, but maybe that his technological expertise needed updating.
That's true. They did say that it was his design, but it looked pretty much just like his father's suit in 1992.
Either way yeah they did acknowledge his intellect. I guess I'm just surprised it wasn't more front and center.
