And I just realized with 'Infinity War' coming up, that Avengers: Infinity War will most likely have that same problem, assuming they will release posters for each important character who will appear in it. Both heroes, supporting characters, and villains.

It has always been an awkward way to display the poster images. I've proposed using gallery sub-pages before. Maybe it's time to consider that again.

People love the representation of colored people in this movie, but in a different way: they actually love how it flips expectations of the world's perception of Africa, and uses Wakanda as an allegory for the world. On that note, people seem to really love the themes of this movie, which are about anti-isolationism. People also are giving high praises to the performances of Letitia Wright and Michael B. Jordan, the latter of whom happens to avoid Marvel's "villain problem". There's also a lot of praise given to the worldbuilding in the movie. There are three negative reviews thus far on Rotten Tomatoes, but they all highlight one thing: there's a much greater focus on dialogue than action in this movie, and when there is action, it's not as well choreographed as we have come to expect (thanks, Russos). However, others have been giving these people flak for not understanding the purpose of the film, and there are 117 positive reviews, so I'm just going to see the movie and make up my mind from there.

I liked it. I suppose I had built up an expectation based on previous MCU movies, and perhaps a little from the trailer, but Black Panther still managed to defy my expectations. :) I get what the reviewers might be saying about the dialogue-driven aspects of the story - some of it plays like a political thriller more than the MCU content we've come to expect, and some feels a bit like a James Bond movie.
