REFLECTION:

Black Panther was the best written and thought-out of the film I’ve
seen out of Marvel and out of the most-recent D.C. reboots of justice league. I
am in love with everyone in it. It’s been said multiple times above, but I’ll say it
again: this film has just as many complex women as men; it leverages those
women and gives theme a complex moments, motivations, and action they
deserve; it has the best battle scene featuring women warriors (or any
warriors) I’ve even had the pleasure to see; and the women were given every
single thing the men were; from their ability to be stubborn to their genius to
their emotional struggles. What a gorgeous movie. It takes this genre to places
we haven’t had the pleasure of seeing it go before, it shows us the potential
that our future superhero films have but are unlikely to rise to.
