Now looking like it could make 170 million or more this weekend. I’ll make a bold prediction and say this makes at least $200m opening weekend.

I'll wait for the home release.
Not a big fan of MCU movies, some are OK but most I find very bland

Probably going to see it sometime next week. I wanted to see it this weekend, but I've just come down with a nasty cold that I know is going to keep me out of commission for the next few days.

Yup. {Spoiler}{Spoiler}Killmonger dies.
I mean, I don't want to sound anal, but the reason why I don't like the MCU is this. I understand that movies work differently than comics, but imagine if the villain died at the end of each storyline in a comic. It seems like a waste of development considering that's one less antagonist to use down the road.

Thought it was a fantastic movie. It feels very different to most MCU movies imo.
I freaking loved Killmonger. Michael B Jordan was amazing in the role. Honestly, the whole cast was great.

It's really, really good, but doesn't exactly break new ground. The MCU has already done the "hero fights their dark reflection" thing several times already.

Iron Man vs. Obadiah Stone Iron Man vs. Whiplash Thor vs. Loki Captain America vs. The Winter Soldier Ant Man vs. Yellowjacket Spider-Man vs. Vulture Thor vs. Hela Anyone I'm missing?

If you want to be pedantic, Tony Stark vs. Justin Hammer and Tony Stark vs. Aldrich Killian for the good rich industrialist vs. evil rich industrialist. Even Cap (genetically-enhanced idealistic supersoldier) vs. Red Skull (genetically-enhanced fanatical supersoldier) at a pinch.

Including television, there's also spy versus spy (SHIELD vs Hydra, Peggy Carter vs Dottie Underwood), elite soldier versus elite soldier (Punisher vs Billy Russo), and Chaste-trained ninja versus Chaste-trained ninja (Daredevil vs Elektra). To be fair, I think Batman and maybe Wonder Woman are the only superheroes who don't have a go-to "dark reflection" in their rogues gallery: Superman and Zod, Spider-Man and Venom, Flash and so many evil speedsters, I could go on.

Superhero vs. Evil Reflection of Superhero is a trope as old as superhero comics themselves.
Hell, in the Dark Knight movies, Ra's Al-Ghul, Bane, and even Joker can fit into this trope. Though in Ra's' case it's more Batman being a Good Reflection of him.

Black Panther is good, one of their best, but as with a lot of Marvel's efforts it plays things a little too safe.

Just got back. I really enjoyed it.
Not my favorite Marvel movie, but there wasn’t much wrong with it. It was visually beautiful and the acting was top notch.

Hero vs Shadow side is a standard feature of the monomyth though.
Gonna get that in Hero's Journey stories way more often than not.
