I was a little hesitant about watching this sequel because Chadwick had died. Black Panther wouldn't be the same if the person is not there. But this sequel does manage to deliver a little.
The biggest complaint is that this sequel focuses too much on Shuri. I don't really like her, and she emerges as a Black Panther only like the last 30 minutes of the film. And she isn't a very convincing Black Panther.
It does seem unfortunate that Wakanda is suddenly under attack by Talokan after T'Challa died. But given what transpired in the film, I'm pretty sure even if T'Challa is still alive, the Talokan would have been able to decimate Wakanda similarly rather effortlessly.
This movie attempts to pay tribute to Chadwick Boseman, but I personally doubt it worked. There's significantly less jokes compared to other MCU films (but not none, though all seemed a lot more appropriately phrased); and the settings in many scenes are too dark for enjoyment.
The Talokans are not fascinating in my opinion. Also, where were they when Thanos came?
Good movie, just not the best. I rate it 7/10, I prefer Doctor Strange and Thor better.
Hi Teenblue, would like to read your thoughts on the recent General Election in Malaysia. In terms of the outcome of the election, then the few days it took to form a unity coalition since none of the party achieved a simple majority of 112, as well as the list of MPs in the cabinet.

It's a good idea, I might share it this year while my memory is still fresh.
