Well I had a few minor gripes, but overall I liked the movie.
I didn't really pay much attention to what y'all were arguing about but I kinda made my points
1. Namor gaslighting the entire conflict. It seems his overall goal was eventual war with the surface world.. Which I get, but considering he had no initial history with Wakanda, making the beef their responsibility and trying to destroy that nation was kinda wild. It was like either help us or we kill you first.
Now the way things played out falls in their favor, cuz as namor said, he's just gonna wait until Wakanda comes to him to further his world domination plans because they will be weak then. But it was his actions that strengthened them. The were already weak. Him kidnapping Shur then offering no negotiation baited Wakanda into taking her back and starting the war.
Not to mention they gave shuri the key to bringing back that black panther. So again they made them stronger.... But only for the purpose to take them over later? It just was a very convoluted way to make it to the be eventual conclusion of war with the surface world. They could have easily brokered a peace with Wakanda to have the county be responsible for keeping the surface world of their backs without sacrificing the queen or namors family.... But he went the hard way that had to explicitly rely on shuri defeating him and showing mercy.
Cuz if he wins... Then it's war against the surface world with no Wakanda in the way.
If she wins and kills him.. Then it's just all out war with no leader or guidance. Wakanda might eventually win and become stronger... But it's worse case scenario for his people.
The only way for it to work or as favorable as it did was to rely on her mercy and guilt to protect be the underwater nation from the rest of the world.
Again, it's a minor gripe. I enjoyed and followed the action, and I know y'all jump down the throat of any criticism. But if I had to point something out....namor really played his hand kinda crazy.
Like no negotiation then being mad that they broke in to take her back?
Kill the queen and try to FORCE them to join your cause?
I dunno how those things don't end without great loss to his people. And exposing themselves in a bad way.
