It's who he was at his core, his first dialogue in the MCU spoke to it... Two people in a room can get more done than a hundred... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that I doubted them, it just didn’t really have a hook until now for me. Their power sets and the family dynamics really shined in this one + showing off the scope of it all. Got be excited for the Xmen more too. Like they are really going to be able to elevate the mutants to being more than the black leather wearing squad who always seemed to fight on an island or in the middle of the woods somewhere. Their powers can finally be on display. Also the celestial scenes were cool, gives me hope for a faithful Silver Surfer & Galactus adaptation. Wouldn’t be surprised if they are already planning that, I remember Adam McKay wanted to do it (who they enjoyed working with on the Ant-man rewrite) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah they made it too self-aware by having him reference his plan to wipe out half the universe and how he’s not going to anymore. If this is an alternate universe, you don’t even need to address that and tbh it took me out of the story. Yondu is prolly my least liked MCU character and his good guy attitude felt so forced. The animation in this episode was good and seeing T’Challa as a galactic ambassador of good will was awesome and it was nice to hear Boseman in the role again. The script’s dialogue was hard to sit thru tho. So many corny lines lol. Looking fwd to the next episode! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His plan? He was already doing it. Gamora was a literal child when he was mid swing of going world by world to commit mass-random 50% execution (cuz it cant be genocide if its at random 😉 ). I believe in the episode they run into each other because T'Challa is trying to save a planet from Thanos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But your post is on point bcuz it further proves how silly it is for Thanos to do an about face. Either have him be an alternate version of himself where genocide was never the goal or have him hold strong to his nature and make him a threat to the Ravagers. They went halfass and that’s exactly what they got lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think his about face as you put it is that unreasonable. Thanos as been portrayed as a man of cold calculating logic. It's why the r/thanosdidnothingwrong sub exists on reddit. The MCU did a great job of taking a mad man and just making him make sense. Given that, being confronted with T'Challa's logic and perspective could absolutely change his mind. That's how I have always seen this interpretation of the character. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"She started shooting, I think, this week before her Ironheart series." VERY interesting... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's how I have always seen this interpretation of the character. I can definitely see it being on a larger side of a stretch, given his convictions. But I think it just goes to show just how much the right person in the right time can affect the trajectory of your life. I guess the only issue I had would come from him constantly bringing it up like an indie band he likes at a college party. Like if he was off that life, T'challa showed him the error of it all, you'd think it'd come from more of a place of guilt. Because yeah he already started, he'd of killed billions by the time T'challa would've convinced him. I get why they didn't go for that because this was a fun heist. But instead of defending the plan or still pitching it proudly, you'd think the more natural response would be remorse / shame. The way he was acting would make sense if they were to continue this string of the multiverse and he'd go back to his mission at some point...him getting the gauntlet and snapping being an "inevitable" thing. Maybe even killing T'Starlord for the soul stone. But like with the first episode, there are just certain things you gotta just accept at face value. Like this, or like the dialog can be very hammy overall because they want to get those "iconic lines" in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
August4th Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 the actress playing Riri had a small role in Judas and the black messiah. I really liked what I saw from her in that. I think she'll be a fan fav after her show airs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was wondering, report of them planning to do some shooting on the MIT campus a week or so ago. Wonder if it’ll be like part of the “Wakandan Science & Research outreach”. Could see them showing her really get comfort seeing Shuri come in and dismantle perceptions about science and what a scientist looks like, as a young black woman around the same age. And maybe they strike up a friendship that will come back in her series a little bit. Maybe put it near the opening of the film and that’s where Shuri is when she hears her brother died. You’d figure it’s just her as Riri, no armor yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wakanda Forever probably helps sets her up and gives her the resources to become Iron Heart after the movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly I could see why some people would have an issue with that. Especially comic readers. The spirit of the character wouldn't allow any logical argument to get in this way of a goal like that. And it's hard to believe that others wouldn't have made a similar argument to Thanos before, if not a better one. It did come off as if T'Challa had a spell on him essentially.
