RE: Why Black Panther is Killing It.
This is a fresh way to look at Black Panther. A lot of people tend to downplay Black Panther's success to ethnic sentiments that they miss some subtle undertakings of the production team to craft a winner as long as film is concerned. You just highlighted a few. My favorite must be the humanness of the villain in Black Panther. Even the hero had more than one situation where everything they (and we the audience) knew was challenged in a way that the direction of the whole story hung on some slim thread. I'm not a fan of super hero stories so I can't exactly make a comparison. I just know somehow Marvel dolled a great story with Black Panther.
Agreed. The best part of this film truly is how each character struggles with not only the ethics of having great power and using it benevolently but properly judging all humans as a whole and the likelihood of them being righteous when given said power. This dynamic has been explored, of course, in superhero movies but not as consistently and prevelant as in Black Panther.
