CMV: Black Panther was an extremely mediocre movie that doesn't deserve the praise it's getting, and is, in some ways, a step backwards.

Alright. So admittedly I went into the movie expecting the worse, because of the whole rotten tomatoes controversy, so my opinion of the movie may be extremely nuanced. Here are my main problems with it:
1. Tchalla is Boring
He just doesn't have any character traits besides being compassionate to a fault.  He apparently only learns that racism exists when Killmonger tells him. 
2. The CGI is terrible
When I heard from early reviews that the movie  was supposedly beautiful i was initally excited, but most of Wakanda looks like the star wars prequels, it doesnt have a unique artsyle and the movie had moments when the CGI took me entirely out of it, like with the rhinos.
3.  Wakanda doesn't make sense as a country 
Has no one wandered into that forest in the 21st century? Is SHIELD, the most advanced intelligence agency in the world ( which knew the exsistance of Black Panther as seen in previous movie's easter eggs) unwilling to disclose the true nature of  one the most powerful country in the world to the rest of the Earth. Why do they determine the leader to be the strongest fighter? shouldn't it be the wisest or fairest?
4. The romance between T'challa and his girlfriend is developed poorly.

>He apparently only learns that racism exists when Killmonger tells him.

I mean...he and Nakia have a discussion on the issue of what's happening to people outside of Wakanda *before* he ever meets Killmonger, he's just (at that point) willing to maintain the status quo.

Given that this is the status quo that his people have maintained for centuries and attribute their success to you can see why the new King doesn't necessarily want to break it, even if he is himself ambivalent.

Worth noting that he and Killmonger have totally different starting points. Racism (as opposed to general suffering) matters more to a diaspora black man in the minority than someone (the Crown Prince at that) from a totally black, hyper-advanced nation.

Fantasy/SFF places do things we don't do. Doesn't mean that it makes the works about them bad works.
