Also i can’t remember which popular reviewer exactly but they thought the final few trailers and tv spots for IW – that are Wakanda-heavy – might as well be regarded as “false advertising”, because those really gave off an impression that highly contradicts what really happens in the movie. Again, it’s like TLJ, where at the last minute, PR switched to praising Boyega/Finn, lulling the desperately hopeful of us into thinking Finn would have a great storyline after all… but it was all lies.

It’s yet another ugly commonality, using the popularity and appeal of Black characters only to pull a bait-and-switch to give them nothing.

I take solace that what happened in the end CANNOT be permanent and will probably be undone in Avengers 4 next year. But nonetheless, switching gears to focus so heavily on Black Panther, knowing whom it would attract, while having THAT ending, was a good nine or ten different kinds of dickish.

I mean I’m glad it’s not going to be permanent, but it’s such an asshole move. Reversing the development just cheapens it even more. Not saying it shouldn’t be reversed, of course, rather that it shouldn’t have happened in the first place.

I started reading the Avengers spoiler post and I couldn’t continue I was laughing so hard I THOUGHT YOU WERE BEING METAPHORICAL WHEN YOU SAID IT WAS THE TLJ OF MARVEL

To anyone else who think that I am being metaphorical with that, unfortunately no. I am 110% literal.

I wouldn’t have given the reddit thread the time of day if it wasn’t because all the major points is backed up by the Forbes article. And I just can’t see Forbes publishing something fake, especially as it’s the same guy who posted TLJ spoilers who turned out to be 100% true. So, while I accept that the poster on reddit might get something mixed up or favor one thing over another, I think it is on the whole correct.

Putting the rest under a cut because I’m going to discuss some of the spoilers, though not in great detail.

Discussion of Infinity War spoilers below the cut

Just from the opening moments, it like… actually starts with a spaceship under attack and random people being pointlessly massacred, undoing much of the development and emotional resolutions from the prior films? Wow, flashbacks. Also it does the whole sidelining Black people? Was Rian the third Russo brother or what??

Maybe it’s a mixed blessing that the BP characters evidently had such small roles in this hot mess, so they can come through with minimal damage. Fingers crossed.
