192 million opening weekend for Black Panther.

well already at $562 Million in just about a month

Crazy. It’s probably going to make more money than Avengers this year. In fact, one of the biggest things the Avengers IW has going for it box office-wise is the inclusion of so much BP/Wakanda stuff. 

I still need to see Antman, Dr. Strange, New Thor and Black Panther

I know this is like major jinx territory here, but I really feel like this movie has like a 1% chance of not being awesome. 

Pretty sure one of the “holy trinity” (Cap, IM, Thor) has to die in this movie. I’m predicting that it’s Cap, there’s no way in hell he was actually strong enough to stop Thanos at the end there, I think Thanos is not even trying and just fucking with him, and will just beat the living shit out of him right after what we see there.

Got my tickets for tomorrow night! Reviews are looking real solid as of right now, 86% on Rotten Tomatoes, not one of the MCUs absolute best but still really high. Plus you know some critics were just chomping at the bit to give this a thumbs down with all of the characters in it.

This is so true. If you are seeing critics complain about character development they have missed the point. This is the culmination of ten years of character development throughout a series of films. Which isn't to say the movie cannot have flaws but that one in particular doesn't hold water.

Soooooo.....someone like me who has watched maybe 2 or 3 of these movies over the years will be able to follow or is this for straight up hardcore fans.  

Which 2 or 3? I would recommend Avengers 1, Captain America: Civil War and Guardians of the Galaxy. If you can follow those I would imagine you'll be able to follow this.

The main critical complaints right now are just that there is too much going on and that it feels too much like part 1 and not enough like it’s own thing.
