How did Killmonger get a custom golden jaguar suit? I can see how Shuri would have other Black Panther suits lying around but a custom golden suit with the same tech?

That suit was the one that T'Challa didn't pick when he upgraded his suit early in the movie because he didn't like how flashy the golden necklace was, so he went with the simpler silver necklace.

Even though it was not confirmed does anyone still think the soul stone could be in Wakanda? Maybe Vibranium is the way it is because of the power of the soul stone? Or the soul stone was inside the meteor that crashed into earth long ago. Trying to justify the battle of Wakanda in infinity wars...

It's what I'm thinking.

thanks for the reply...so it was really just another Black Panther suit and not a "JAGUAR" suit per say

I'm pretty sure. During that scene they make sure to get across that the far right suit is his "old tech" and he could choose a new suit from one of the 2 "new tech" suits with the kinetic energy harnessing. One of which was flashy and gold. Although we never see the whole suit, just the necklace but I'm pretty sure it's implied that that's the suit Killmonger takes.

And also when Killmonger becomes king, they make him the Black Panther through the same ritual T'Challa did.

Watched this movie yesterday.

I thought it was a solid, decently put together movie.
Things I liked:
1) Wakanda scenery
2) Wakanda tech, and the jokes about colonialists
3) The bearing/portrayal of black panther, particularly in the spirit realm
4) Andy Serkis as Klaue.
5) The monkey tribe, following the Hindi god Hanumann

Things I didn't like:
1) For an evolved society, the wakandans resorted to primitive violence pretty quickly (ie within hours)
2) No infinity stone reference
3) I think we needed more time with the "Villain".
4) How quickly his "good friend" turned on him, over something that happened 30+ years ago.
5) While there was a fight at the end that "resolved" things, I don't think there was thematic resolution based on Killmonger's final words. That was an interesting idea/discussion that just kinda ended.
6) it felt a little too cgi-ey in places.

A few question:
If the Black Panther gets his power from vibranium juice, can anyone drink it and get those powers? What if someone like Cap drank it? Are there any more vibranium flowers left or can they grow more from that little piece they stole? Is it good for TChalla's body to keep losing then regaining his powers? Is it racist that the vibranium juice was purple?

We need a sticky on this board to explain how RT scores work

We really do at this point.

Let's reiterate: The RT score is merely the amount of people that like a film, or the chance that you will basically enjoy the film. It is not a "quality" metric.

I actually didn't mind the rhinos. But the crowd on the waterfall during the crowning ceremony was terribly bad. It felt like a crowd shot in the Star Wars prequels.

They actually make a great point about Wakanda inconsistent

At one point Danai Guriras characters has a line about guns being primitive yet these frickers elect their king through a fricking deathmatch

Just watched that video I was confused because you said he gave it a 10, but he's bashing the film the whole time.

He only gave it a 10 out of 10 to avoid being called a racist, but put it as #12 on the MCU.
