    Black Panther fucking sucks. I know it's "trendy" to say that these days, but outside the cool notions of Wakanda, the script, acting, and CGI fuckin blows. It was so damn boring. I feel like time is going to be very unkind to this mediocrity, and the fact that it got nominated for Best Picture is going to go down as one of the most cynical and cloying gestures of the last decade.

      I thought Micheal B Jordan was great in it, but other than that yeah not a lot of redeeming qualities and the turn in the third act of him from being a villian with motives to cartoonishly evil was stupid.

      Just like Argo, Zero Dark Thirty, and The Hurt Locker it got nominated because it's low-key CIA propaganda

        That's a feeling I similarly can't shake. It's after seeing the BLM protests appear to coincide with election cycles that there's an invisible hand controlling that market, too.
