How does Black Panther differ from Marvel's usual style?

The most outstanding part of the film Black Panther is actually the respect for culture, that is, the respect for culture is excavated and carried forward. The scenes like the fight for the king in the film look full of the primitive and primitive colors of Africa. The setting in the film is even more so, as if people walk into the vast African land. But compared to the Disney film "Dream Travel", which was produced in the same way a year ago, there seems to be something missing. It may be that Marvel uses an insurance method to make a new pot of soup with old meat. Sensitivity restrains the courage to innovate), such as the vulgar plot of the male protagonist's rebirth after a catastrophe and the ever-fast narrative rhythm...

I always thought the thinking of the ruling class of Wakanda in the film was very strange. T'Challa's father killed his own brother in order to prevent the vibrating gold from flowing out of Wakanda, and T'Challa killed his own brother for the same reason. My cousin Killmonger, but they all listed the same reasons for their conservativeness: the flow of such powerful resources of Zhenjin to the disadvantaged is actually a kind of destruction to the world (I am also hehe..) Just like the police The reason for not rescuing the hostages is that they are afraid that the hostages will retaliate against the society. There is no logic in it. Although Zhenjin may be used by criminals, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages or the disadvantages outweigh the benefits, and people's hearts can decide.

What needs to be complained most in the film is the double superposition of American political thinking, which not only perfectly creates an image of an American spy who is not familiar with Wakanda, but who sacrifices his life to save Wakanda (actually refers to the image of the United States) , and use the story of T'Challa and Wakanda to tell the truth that the country is going to develop behind closed doors, but I don't know whether to emulate the president or satirize the president. The dream is what he thinks, just like the scene where the previous kings such as T'Challa drank the heart-shaped herb and walked into the scene to meet their ancestors. T'Challa wanted courage, so the old king encouraged him, and Killmonger wanted revenge. So the old prince told him his regret for not cherishing his hometown.

Think about it, the ending of Black Panther is the most poetic and romantic. Under the sunset of Wakanda, Killmonger said: "When I die, hide me in the sea, like those who believe in freedom or die and jump into the sea ancestors". If only people could be simpler.
