Nah, OJ was legit good at football. Oswald is just fat and whines a lot.

Observation.
This movie comes out in 15 more days, and we haven't had people try to figure out the plot start to finish. EVERY OTHER Marvel movie, I've had to stop reading the thread upon the release of the 2nd trailer (that I don't watch anyway). But this movie is an oddity.
Is it that people don't care? Is it that guessing the plot doesn't even matter? Is it that he's a dumb superhero? I really don't know.

I mean, this is the intro to Wakanda which is the biggest thing. It's a huge shift in technology for the heroes/world. The main plot seems to be Tchalla wanting to bring Wakanda out of the shadows and into the world, while the dissenters try to take over the country after the death of the last king. I think since we aren't sure if there is an infinity stone involved, there's not much more to try and predict. Black Panther is going to be one of the most important characters going into Phase 4. Especially if we are going to be losing some of the current core Heroes.

Yeah this seems to be where the marketing has lead us. Marvel seldom shows much that isn't in the first two acts in their trailers though IW looks to be an exception to that. Some have speculated about the Soul Stone being in Wakanda (used by the current Black Panther to speak with those from the past). Whitaker has mentioned part of the movie being set in space. People wondering if Cap or Bucky will show up in this. But not much more than that. IW is just around the corner. It's much richer ground for speculation at this point and that's where people are putting that effort. The LEGO sets for BP haven't given people much to go on and that's often a source of those act 1-3 breakdowns.

here is how i guess this will play out
- black panther wants to slowly open wakanda to the world, his rival (whatever michael b jordons character is called) wants to use their superior tech to take a dominant position in the world
- his rival commits some type of crime in the outside world and black panther goes out to stop him / bring him back to wakanda for punishment
- when they get back, he calls black panther weak and challenges his leadership (they fight, black panther loses)
- black panther has to consult with his mom and she tells him stop trying to do everything alone and he has a spirit journey
- a scene or two of wakanda being more aggressive and making some special forces team + a hero or two look like chumps
- black panther comes back and beats his rival and it becomes revealed that he was cheating the entire time but black panther beats him without cheating
- the rivals partners (evil white guys) reveal that they were really planning to take wakandas riches by tricking them into starting a war with the entire world, and black panther teams up with his former rival to beat them (wakandans need to stick together)
- also either black panther or his rival is betrayed by one of the women

My predictions:
- Black panther is down on his luck, poor, and is in a drug store and buys a small keyboard
- Panther then comes up with a sweet rhythm on the keyboard
- Meets a "white knight" that is in on the music that black panther creates
- Random black women cause problems for about half an hour
- Black panther becomes the hero he wants to be and his song makes it to #1
- Black panther screws things up and ends up imprisoned
- Black panther redeems himself and basks in his glory.

Also, because almost every Marvel new-character's first solo movie does it. It's the Iron Man formula, found everywhere from Norton-Hulk to Ant-Man and even stuff like Dr. Strange. They ain't gonna fix what's not broken (financially thus far, at the very least). It's also popular in comics as well for all the "it's not the powaz that make the hero but what you do with it"-vibes that go with it....

well not really... it's to give the heroes the ability to use their skillset. Iron man vs Iron monger, is men in suits fucking shit up, Iron man vs. Magneto is Iron man getting turned into a bowling ball.

This is the slight of hand that Marvel is using on all of us; Black Panther is the Infinity War. The insanity that's going to come spinning out from this movie with the reviews and reactions and the reactions to the reviews and reactions on all sides is going to be about as bad as Thanos actually invading the planet.
